My 05 durango 5.7 hemi stalled without warning twice in my driveway and once as i was turning left. No power steering,no power brakes,no check engine lights came on, it was very sudden and find this to be dangerous. I have found that other durango owners are having the same issues.

When filling up the gas tank, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve does not function properly. It does not close and gas always spills out. I am afraid that gas spills out while driving. At times,with the keys in the ignition, the car will turn off by itself if i am moving slowly. I bought this truck in 2006. The first year, i brought the car in for stalling on its own. The dealership told me that there was…

My 2005 dodge durango stalls at low speeds or when stopped at light. Stalls when turning in front of traffic. I have gone online to read hundreds of similar complaints. Dodge dealership has done nothing but charge people money for futile repairs that hasn't solved the problem. Someone is going to get killed.

I bought this vehicle used, and started having problems with it immediately after buying it. Gas overflows out of the gas tank almost every time i fill it up. It's going to catch on fire at some point because of this. Also, the engine stalls out at random times causing the vehicle to steer and brake very poorly until restarted. I noticed that other model years of this same vehicle have had the same problems as this…

First, the cruise control stopped working. Then, the speedometer and odometer quit working when the abs, parking brake, check engine, and traction control lights all came on. Took it to the dealer to repair the instrument cluster recall, and was told that it needs a new abs control module and wiring harness. The wiring harness is completely melted, probably because of a short in the control module - at least that's…

I have taken it to the dodge dealership where i purchased twice and have been told that nothing shows up wrong. They suggested the next time it does it,…
