The vehicle was taken to a nearby independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 07V092000 (Electrical system). The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the recall repair was previously completed on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 252,000.

I have had my durango for about 2 years, one day I went to start it and it clicked as if battery had died. When I jumped it, it started right up. I noticed that my dash had a tire sensor light and a light saying Overhead lamp on. I turned my overhead switch and all my lights in the car turned on and then off when i turned switch.( normal) so I knew something was up. After doing some research I read about the recall. I Made an appointment on the 15th of June to get a recall for my instrument panel fixed. I dropped my car off at 7 am my appointment was at 8am. I called around 11:30 to get an ETA since I was on a time limit for work and live an hour away. The dealership called to tell me that he needed to take out cluster and test it and if it was cluster he would have to order it and it could be a few days. If it was fine it was a circuit Issue and he would need to fix it. Thank god my mother was in the same area visiting and was able to give me a ride home. He then called that evening and asked if I owned another Key/FOB. I told them I didn't and my fob has never worked since i purchased the vehicle. He stated that he got the recall all finished and fixed but now all the lights on my dash were flashing, my headlights the horn, flashers and something" went wonky" there. He then tried to tell me they needed to order a new fob to program it to my car and it was going to cost me almost $400. I told them I was not going to pay that amount and that it seems like they messed something up when they put it together. I picked up my car Friday the 17th and my tire pressure light was still on. After getting home and checking tires they were all fine. The next day I went to start my car and the Headlight lamp light came back onto my dash. I already had to take 2 days off work and now have to miss more to have this recall done right. I looked up my vin today the 20th and it says my recall is incomplete! To top it off they never gave me any paperwork or have me sign anything.

Was driving 2005 dodge Durango when it stalled and stopped running at a bottom of a hill. Would not start . Replaced idiole control sensor, starter, battery, crank shaft sensor and relays. Started ran for 30 minutes again just died in the middle of the road. Will not start. If someone would of come over the hills could of hit us with sever injury or possibly death. Still wont run crank over wont run.

Engine is intermittent stalling when driving or taking a sharp corner at Low speed. The vehicle engine has just stalled when driving at different speeds. No check engine lite on at all the engine just stalls and I can restart the engine almost all the time right away the repair facility has no idea what is going on. Need to get this figured out before an accident happens

IT IS A AWD CAR BUT SOMETIME THE 4LO LIGHT COMES ON WITH A VERY ANNOYING NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR OR ENGINE, THEN THE SPEED BEING SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR BECOMES HARD TO KEEP GOING. THE STREAKING SOUND AND THE SPEED BEING REDUCED LIKE THE BREAK BEING STEPPED ON ABRUBTLY MAKES ME PULL OVER FOR SAFETY.

MY SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY SUV AND MY CAR STARTED JERKING UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AS IF IT WERE CHANGING OR SHIFTING GEARS, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DODGE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT CONTROL MODULE FOR C1404, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THE PART ALONE WOULD COST $1200.00. I AM READING MANY ARTICLES ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE 4WD IN THIS MAKE, MODEL, OF VEHICLE AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE (IF NOT ALREADY)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND RESUMED DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED QUIRK CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF BANGOR (307 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, PHONE NUMBER: (207) 945-9458) AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT DODGE CUSTOMER CARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,141.

FOR NO REASON THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR ANYTHING, SHUTS OFF AND NO STEERING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS. ACTS FINE, BOTH TIMES DURING CITY STREET DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE AND WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED AND MOVED BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBER. NOW I RECEIVE ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER AND THIS VEHICLE IS MY WIFE AND CHILDREN'S PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO. ALSO DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME OF THIS RECALL, MY ELECTRONICS ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY. THEY STILL DO OCCASIONALLY BUT WE HAVE TO DRIVE IT NONETHELESS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL GO DEAD WITH NO LIGHTS OR GAUGES WORKING, THE A.C. WILL BLOW HEAT ONLY OR STOP, THE ALARM GOES OFF ON ITS ON, ETC. ALL THIS WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING AND DRIVABLE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST! RIGHT NOW IT'S ACTING SOMEWHAT NORMAL. I REALLY FEEL I WAS WRONGED IN BUYING THIS VEHICLE! THE DATE I LISTED WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT UP TO LAST MONTH.

THE FRONT HEAT/AC CONTROLS STOP WORKING. IT DOESN'T MATTER RATHER THE HEAT IS ON OR THE AC IS ON. IT WILL RANDOMLY STOP BLOWING AIR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH (UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX) GET EXTREMELY HOT AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED INTO IT THE WHITE PLASTIC PIGTAIL PART WAS HALF MELTED AWAY. HE REPLACED IT BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER WE HAD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DIDN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW AFTER 2 DAYS OF DRIVING IT SINCE IT WAS SITTING IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING/SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME, MY TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HAZARD LIGHTS, AND ALL GAUGES MALFUNCTIONED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE "FRONT CONTROL MODULE".

TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, AFTER TIRES HAVE BEEN AIRED AND CHECKED BY TIRE PLACE.

SEAT BELT IS LOCKED BUT LIGHT COMES ON AS IF IT WAS NOT ON. I HAVE TO UNDO, AND REAPPLY FOR LIGHT TO GO OFF. RADIO WILL NOT WORK AT TIMES. RADIO REPAIR GUY SAID I NEEDED A NEW AMPLIFIER. ONE DAY IT JUST STARTS PLAYING, BUT WHEN I STOPPED TO GET GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE CARGO LAMP STAYS ON IF I OPEN MY REAR HATCH. WILL ONLY GO OFF IF I CLOSED IT TWICE.

THIS VEHICLE ROUTINELY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVE, DECELARATION, COASTING, AND ALSO WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.
