NHTSA complaint #10724359 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI HAS STARTED TO BEHAVE ODDLY. FIRST...IT STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO LIFT THE GATE IN THE BACK? JUST LOCKED UP AND WE COULD NOT OPEN IT FOR MONTHS. IT THEN PROGRESSED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE REMOTE NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED US AT $350 + TO FIX THE REMOTE...UMMM NO. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN OPENING MY DOOR USING THE KEY. LATE LAST YEAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE TIRES WOULD LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN COMPLETING A SHARP TURN (IE: TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY) THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE 4LO LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THEN I STARTED HEARING THE TRUCK ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO SWITCH ITSELF IN AND OUT OF AWD! THIS CREATES A CRAZY CLICKING AND SHIFTING SOUND IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE I AN DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF? WE TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHOM COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT? I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A FAST SHARP TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TIRES WILL LOCK UP LEAVING ME SCREWED. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WHENEVER ANYONE HAS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE SOMETHING...IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I THINK DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILIES!!
NHTSA complaint #10704756 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!!!!! IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED, THE TRUCK WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN'T STEER OR DO ANYTHING BUT PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN THE BE LOOKED AT AND NOTHING CAN BE FIGURED OUT AS IT DOES IT RANDOMLY. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS LAST TIME WE WERE TURNING AND THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WHILE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS COMING DOWN THE STREET. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND SEES OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS DONE SUCH AS REPLACING THE EGR VALVE AND FLUSHING THE SYSTEM. I NEED AN ANSWER AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE!!!!!!!!!!
NHTSA complaint #10683882 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
THE DODGE DURANGO 2005 MODEL IN MY CASE WILL SHUT OFF VERY OFTEN NOW WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURN...THIS OFTEN TIMES HAPPEN WHEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE UP 5-20MINS TO RESTART.THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD OR WARM IT DOESN'T MATTER.I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGOS AND I'M WONDERING WHY ARE FOLKS ALLOWED TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS ISSUE IN THE MEAN TIME THE DEALERSHIP PRETEND AS IF THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHICH IS CLEARLY A LIE FROM ALL THE COMPLAINT I'VE SEEN ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE...GOING BACK FOR YEARS....

STEERING
IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED UP THIS IS THE 10TH TIME THAT IT HAS DONE THIS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT I DON'T KNOW.
NHTSA complaint #10652981 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 4WD AND AWD RANDOMLY. THE 4WD LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO LOCK WITHOUT WARNING, MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT AND BACKUPS JUMPY AND JERKY. IT WILL SHIFT BACK AND RUN PROPERLY, BUT DOES NOT STAY FUNCTIONING LONG. THERE IS A 'DRAG'' FEELING TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SLIPS INTO 4WD. THIS HAS MADE DRIVING THE DURANGO A CONCERN AND NEARLY TRIPLED THE AMOUNT OF GAS USED FOR SIMILAR MILEAGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT GOES INTO 4WD-LO AND THE TIRES LOCK UP. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT 70 MPH, THIS COULD CAUSE A SPIN OUT. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT THE CAR OCCASIONALLY 'SHIFTS' WITHOUT NOTICE AND THEN IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE TURN. WHEN EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE PROPERLY ON A BUSY ROAD, THIS ''SLUGGISH' RESPONSE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PULLING OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGES ISN'T A GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THE TURN BEFORE THE LIGHT TURNS RED. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRUST MY VEHICLE, WHICH I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING FOR OTHER 2005 DURANGO OWNERS. CLEARLY, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPORTS THAT PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE ARE ALSO HAVING REMOTE DOOR LOCK ISSUES, WHICH MAKES ME WONDER IF THERE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.
NHTSA complaint #10639356 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
VEHICLE SWITCHES TO 4LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. VEHICLE BECOMES SLUGGISH AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. AT THIS POINT I FEAR FOR MY LIFE. AFTER READING SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I SEE I'M NOT ALONE.
NHTSA complaint #10629817 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
VEHICLE STALLED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL. WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU LOSE COMPLETE POWER AND IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE DODGE DEALER CLAIMS TO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NOR DID IT DO THE SAME TO THEM WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING. WHEN THEY CALLED TO TALK ABOUT FIXING SOME ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THEY WERE TRYING TO CHARGE ME $959.00 TO CHANGE AN ALTERNATOR THAT IS WORKING AT 90% AND THE EFR. THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THESE ARE 2 (TWO) CODES THEIR MACHINE IS THROWING. THEIR MACHINE DOES NOT INDICATE ANYTHING ABOUT STALLING.

STEERING
WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT COULD BE THE INTERSTATE OR IN TOWN, DOING 30 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR DEPENDING ON WHERE I AM, MY HUSBAND'S ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON IN HIS 2005 DODGE DURANGO AFTER THE WHEEL BEGINS STIFFENING AND MY LIGHTS ALL SHUT OFF AND I AM COSTING INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC LANE OR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH MY 4 CHILDREN AND MYSELF, SOMETIMES IT IS JUST ME AND ONCE IT WAS WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY SOLID AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENS AFTER WHEN SUV WILL CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, INSTANTLY MY STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF AND I CANNOT TURN, MY LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THIS US HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OTHER TIMES WHEN I'M COMING OUT OF A STOP AND THE SUV IS STILL RUNNING AT THAT TIME. VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. NO WARNINGS, HE HAS HAD THE SUV 1 YEAR.

NHTSA complaint #10610861 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STEERING
AS I APPROACHED MY VEHICLE AND USED THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOORS, I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE LIKE GEARS WERE SHIFTING ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE EVEN RUNNING. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED DRIVING. WHEN I WENT INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED LEFT TO PARK, IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE WAS PUTTING ON THE BRAKES MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TURN AND TO ACCELERATE--FELT LIKE I WAS IN 4WD DESPITE NOT SHIFTING TO 4WD FROM AWD. I NEARLY HIT THE CAR NEXT TO MINE BECAUSE I HAD TO ACCELERATE SO HARD TO GET INTO THE SPOT WITHOUT GETTING HIT FROM THE REAR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 1/2 HOUR AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I LET THE CAR SIT IN THE GARAGE, I WAS IN THE GARAGE AND HEARD GEARS SHIFTING ON THEIR OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IT IS QUITE SCARY! IF I TRY TO TURN LEFT AND THIS HAPPENS ON THE ROAD, I COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

STEERING
CAR IS SHUTTING OFF AND THE POWER STEERING IS LOCKING DURING SLIGHT TURNS. ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY, ONCE AT A DRIVE THRU AND ONCE IN A FIELD WHILE PARKING AT THE AIR SHOW. THE ONE AT THE AIR SHOW TOOK 15 MINUTES TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK TO FINALLY RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 5 DAYS NOW. I'M AFRAID FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR (IT'S HER CAR) NOW. THE KIDS WERE IN IT 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES. VERY VERY SCARY.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR IT TO STOP AND I CAN THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 1 & 2. HAVING THEM IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS NERVE WRECKING. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE ASKED MECHANICS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS EITHER. MY LAST (MOST RECENT) INCIDENT WAS ON 5/10/14 - THE CAR SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. 2 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ONE HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND ONE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANE WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK BECAUSE WHEN I DO ... IT SPITS OUT GAS. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO SWITCH OUT MY IL PRESSURE SWITCH TWICE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY IT'S DOING THAT.

STEERING
BETWEEN THE END OF NOVEMBER 2013 AND THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS I APPROACHED THE TOLL BOOTH. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AS I ROLLED ALONG AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS.

STEERING
I HAVE OWNED MY 05 DURANGO SINCE 07. MY DURANGO HAS STALLED NOW 4 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS. ONCE IN A HOSPITAL PARKING LOT GOING VERY SLOW. NEXT TIME WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I TURNED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MADE A SLOW LEFT TURN ONTO MY STREET. IT LOST POWER HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. NO RPM'S NO SPEEDO. NO POWER STEERING NO POWER BRAKES. I MAN HANDLED THE TURN, FLIPPED IT IN NEUTRAL. TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AND I HAD MY SPEEDO BACK, AND I CONTINUED TO START IT BACK UP. I THOUGHT OK THAT WAS CRAZY WEIRD. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO CODES. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR FUEL SYSTEM CLOGGED. I HAVE SINCE CLEANED ALL THEY UP AND SERVICED THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEN YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION DOING THE SAME EXACT LOW SPEED MANEUVER. THIS TIME I HAD MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK. WHAT IF I PULLED ACROSS TRAFFIC TO TURN WITH NO POWER AND STALLS. WHAT IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING? I'M NOT SURE SHE COULD REMEDY A SITUATION LIKE THIS.
