Since purchasing Dodge Durango 2004 hemi 5.7 in februrary 2004 an engine stalled 3 times without any reason. All times it happened after a complete stop at stop light or in a parking lot. The only way to restart an engine was to turn off a key, wait a little bit and start an engine once again. Dealer (westgate Dodge in raleigh, nc) made an investigation and didn't find anything wrong. The only thing what he did was to flash PCM, which leads to reducing an engine power and decreasing a fuel economy. I don't feel safe because this may happen somewhere in a middle of a road, which may lead to an incident and/or crash.

Instant stalling, whether turning or going straight. Warm or cold doesn't matter. Dealer has no clue.

Events leading up to engine stall while driving. Every gauge on dash broad will light up and then the engine will stall while driving. Everything then goes dead. This is the forth time this has happened. Everytime we bring it into a Dodge service depart. They tell us that they can't find anything wrong and send us back on the road. Was even told that the owner of the dealership drove it and it didn't stall so nothing wrong with it. It has been happening every two to three months. Most recently July 1, 2005. This time it does have a co-Pilot attached, but was told by dealership, that it probably won't find anything. The dealership has records of the exact dates. It has happened four times in a ten month periiod. I have had the car the whole time; brand new off the lot. My complaint is that all the dealership is doing is putting on the computer and sending us back on the road with an unsafe and dangerous vehicle.

My previous ODI is 10126311 this vehicle was picked up in clovis, nm this morning. Bender Dodge had just replaced my short block due to a snapped number 7 rod between the piston and crank journal. The trip was over 250 mile for us and about 10 miles before we reached belen, nm my check engine light came on. The idle was high and the rpms were jumping up and down. I called Chrysler roadside assist and they could not advise me if I should call a tow truck or drive it. I hung up my cell phone and called bender Dodge and spoke to eric in their service department. He thought it sounded like a intake air line and told me it would be fine to continue driving to auge's Dodge in belen. Auge's had the vehicle for a couple of hours and seemed to think it was just a censor, they reset it and waited for the vehicle to cool off and sent us on our way. On the way home the check engine light never came on but the car is now idling very high and when you let off the gas the whole vehicle jerks. Daimler/Chrysler is not easy to deal with and have been very unhelpful to us. I see a long road with a vehicle that won't get us down it. I have a vehicle that is not going to be reliable and want a replacement vehicle so I can get to work and back each day and enjoy trips with my family.

On June 5, 2005 we towed our boat to conchas lake for vacation. The next afternoon the motor began to knock after launching our boat. On the morning of June 7, 2005 I called roadside assistance and they towed my car 118 miles to clovis nm. My car needed a new motor. Bender Dodge has had the vehicle since June 7, 2005, today is June 23, 2005 and it is still not ready. I recieved a rental car for 5 days because of my extended warranty, kept it for 7 days and had to pay for the other 2 days. My boat is in storage in conchas, 188 miles from home. My 2004 Dodge Durango is in clovis, 244 miles from home. This vehicle was purchased new and needed a new motor after 17,169 miles.

Durango 2004 5.7 hemi 4X4 slt. Three times in two months, I have been driven at low speed either in a car park or making a turn from a stop and the engine stalls. I then put it in park or neutral and then it starts fine and I'm able to drive it. This is highly dangerous and was lucky I could pull over and restart it. Dodge needs to look into this before someone dies.

I bought a 2004 Dodge Durango in September of 2004. I have since driven the vehicle 35500 miles with no problems until now. The vehicle stalls prior to stopping. A vehicle was turning left in front of me and I slowed to prepare to stop. The vehicle turned left before I reached them and my vehicle stalled. The vehicles behind me were not expecting me to stop and almost rearended me. This happened 4 times. It also stalled at the top of exit 87 off I-40 near jackson. I restarted the vehicle. Upon attempting to turn left, the vehicle stalled again, this time with oncoming traffic in both directions. I was nearly hit by one of the oncoming vehicles. This is very dangerous! I also should add that I had left the dealership who "fixed" the problem 6 hours prior to these occurences. It happened once the day before and I took it to service immediately the morning in question.

When driving down a hill the vehicle accelerated up causing the rpms to go up to 3500. The consumer had to ride the brakes continuously. The dealer stated that this was a characteristic of the Dodge. On terrain where one would like to go slow down slope, one could idle down to 2 mph but if one touch the gas to increase, it would go to 1500 RPM and if one does not hit the brake, it would slow down continuously increasing to 3500 RPM without touching the gas more.

Our Durango had experienced numerous problems, since we purchased it new in 5/04. The engine surged, it stalled, and it felt like the brakes did not grab in the rear. It also racked up more miles on the odometer, than it actually drove. On 12/16/04 we brought it in to the dealership for a recalled battery cable. The next day the engine caught on fire while driving. It was towed to the dealership, the transmission was replaced, and we picked it back up 12-28-04. On 1-16-05 we had a second fire in the engine while driving. This time it was in the shop until 2-1-05. The dealership overhauled the transmission, but did not replace it. On 2-2-05 again while driving, our Durango's engine caught on fire, this time the fire was so big, and so fast my husband barley had time to get our kid out before it exploded, and burned to the ground. It took the fire department over an hour to get the fire out. I had sent a certified letter to daimler Chrysler, asking them to buy the Durango back under the lemon law on 1-20-05. To this day there has been no response to that letter. My husband and children were almost killed!

I was getting on the freeway and accelerated to get on the freeway, car in front of me slowed to exit the freeway so I had to lift my foot of of the gas - RPMS dropped, oil pressure light came on and the car stalled in the right lane of the freeway - luckily I was able to pull over to the offramp. Restarted the car with no problem. I have taken the car to the dealer several times for this problem but they say they cannot fix it because they cannot duplicate the problem.
