    While driving in stop-and-go traffic on sunday july 17, 2005, my 2005 dodge durango (~1700 miles) engine shut off. I placed the car in neutral (i was still rolling) and was able to stop the vehiucle and restart the engine. I took the car into a 5-star dealership (where it was purchased from) and they kept the vehicle for 2 days. The service department conclusion was that they could find no trouble. I have seen…

    On 5/21/05 my 2005 durango with 5.7l engine stalled while making a right turn into a parking lot. Lack of power steering made driving difficult. I restarted the car, turned into a parking spot and the engine quit once again.

    While turning left into a parking lot, across a fairly busy road, my 3 week old dodge durango limited hemi just cut out. The power steering disappeared, the engine was gone, and i was in the middle of the oncoming lane. I switched the vehicle off, and on a few times until the power steering and acceleration were back. This is very dangerous, my dealer claims that the computer reports nothing is wrong, and i refuse…

    Once again while driving my 2005 durango slowing down to make a turn the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. Oncoming traffic just missed colliding with the passenger side of the vehicle. Also there has been a problem with the vehicle accelerator sticking causing the vehicle to have excessive rpm. Also the front end seems to have some type of problem, while turning the vehicle the front end knocks…

    I had won this vehicle in a lemon law suit against chrysler. When i picked up the new vehicle (dodge durango 05 w/ 5.7) it had a check engine light. The salesman assured me that it was because the car was left running while they were pumping gas. Light went off after shutting off and opening gas cap. *nm
