2007 Dodge Durango engine problems

ENGINE

My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY REMAINS ON AFTER ALL CODES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS VEHICLE IS ROUTINELY GIVEN MAINTENANCE CHECKS. OTHER THE CODES GIVEN (P40), WHAT COULD THE ISSUE BY? I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE RECENT RECALL HOPING THAT WOULD HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT THE CLERK WAS VERY RUDE STATING THEY WERE BUSY. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, I FEEL I MAY NEED TO GET RID OF IT IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS HAS BEEN A PERMANENT ISSUE FOR AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS...EACH YEAR ITS A STRUGGLE TO EVEN PAST EMISSIONS DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THANK YOU.

THE VEHICLE STALLS/LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT GIVES NO WARNING AND ONCE THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER YOU LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. THIS LEAVE THE VEHICLE STRANDED WHEREVER YOU ARE WITH LITTLE TO NO WAY TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY FAILED TO FIND OR SOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS ULTIMATELY PUTTING MY FAMILY IN GRAVE DANGER AS THE TIMES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS. THE FORUMS AND WEB SEARCHES ONLINE APPEAR TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE YET THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE OR PUT OUT A RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ONLY ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY BUT POTENTIALLY THE LIVES OF MANY OTHER UNSUSPECTING OWNERS/FAMILIES.

DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE THE ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 7 FULL YEARS OF AGE YET. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP OUT DUE TO AGE AND MILES. HOW DOES A CAR IN GREAT RUNNING CONDITION JUST STALL AND DIE WHILE DRIVING?

2007 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4X4, STALLING AND ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE ENGINE STALLED IT WOULD LOSE ALL POWER AND STOP IN THE INTERSECTION WITH LITTLE TO NO WAY OF CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET SAFELY OUT OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO LUCK IN FINDING THE ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK EVERYTIME IT IS FILLED UP. THIS STARTED AT APPROX 45K MILES. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DODGE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE DURANGO HAD IT BROUGHT UP ON 12/1/2010. THE TANK WAS EMPTY SO I WENT TO THE LOCAL GAS STATION TO FILL UP. LET IT SHUT OFF BY ITSELF WHEN FULL AND THERE WAS GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AFTER IT SHUT OFF. I ASSUMED IT WAS THE PUMP. SO FEW DAYS LATER HAD TO FILL AGAIN IT DID IT AGAIN DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS TANK AND A REALLY BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR FIRE OR IF YOU DON'T CLEAN THE GAS OFF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE TANK RIGHT AWAY. I AM A MOTHER OF 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS TERRIFIES ME. MY CAR HAS LESS THEN 36,000 MILES AND NOT EVEN A TRUE 3 YEARS OLD THIS SHOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED A FACTORY WARRANTY ISSUE OR DO THE RIGHT THING AND PUT AS A RECALL. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE THIS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=FS5U63CN-II HERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE MINE DOES AS HIS DOES ALSO. I JUST GOT THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN DRIVEN MORE THAN 23 DAYS AND THE FUEL TANK IS MESSED UP, AND NOW THE GAS CAP LIGHT IS COMING ON AND WONT GO OFF, AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOW COMING ON. I BELIEVE ITS ALL FROM THIS FUEL TANK ISSUE. I CANT AFFORD AN EXPENSE LIKE THIS. NO ONE COULD PREDICT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.
