2007 Dodge Durango Engine Problems

Your engine stalled without warning while driving at 55 mph, though it restarted afterward. An independent mechanic couldn't determine the cause, and the dealer was unable to diagnose or fix the problem even after inspection. The stalling continued to occur at around 107,000 miles. The issue may require fuel system testing, ignition system diagnostics, or engine computer reprogramming to identify the root cause.

Your engine stalls when you're slowing down, especially in traffic, at intersections, and on the freeway at high speeds. The cowl panel (the area where the windshield meets the hood) has deteriorated and is no longer available as a replacement part, allowing water to leak directly onto your spark plugs and ignition coils. This moisture is likely causing the stalling. Fixing this will require either finding an aftermarket cowl panel replacement or sealing/protecting the deteriorated area to keep water away from the electrical components.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE, ESP, AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS DISPLAYED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

VEHICLE FLUCTUATES IN RPM'S UPON STARTING VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VEHICLE ALSO WILL RANDOMLY STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN PARK, WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS, PULLING INTO INTERSECTIONS AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. UPON STALLING I HAVE AN EXTREMELY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME TO PULL OVER BEFORE I LOOSE COMPLETE ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS RANDOM VIOLENT SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEMS BEGAN ABOUT 90,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY AND SEVERELY WORSE THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

THE DURANGO CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (OR HAD IT TOWED) 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT FIXED. WE LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF.

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. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD MY DURANGO IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY PUT IN A NEW SOLENOID AND ELECTRICAL COMPUTER PARTS ON THE ENGINE TO THE COSTLY TUNE OF $2903.

THEY TELL ME IT IS GOING TO REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE AND ALL OF THE NEW PARTS THAT WERE PUT IN 3 WEEKS AGO WILL COME OUT WITH THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ALL OVER AGAIN. HELP PLEASE. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

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? *TR

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.

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO HEMI LIMITED AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT ON THE TURNPIKE EXPRESSWAY TOWARD SOUTH AT 55 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STALLS OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING, SHE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE CAR, THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING DID NOT WORK, SHE HAD TO MANEUVER THE CAR AND THANKS HER EXPERTISE AND NO CAR IN HER WAY, SHE CAN STOPPED IT PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN "PARK", WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THAT DEADLY SITUATION. MY DAUGHTER WAS INSIDE THE CAR SO TERRIFIED. I TOOK IT BACK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND JUST LIKE MOST OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO PAY THEM FIRST TO PUT A BATTERY AND ANOTHER SENSOR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, THEY DON'T KNOW. THIS CAR ALMOST KILLS MY FAMILY AND/OR SOMEONE ELSE AND POTAMKIN PLANET DODGE AT DORAL AND DODGE DOESN'T RESPONSE. I AM GOING TO GET LEGAL HELP FOR THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED NEW 07/28/07FROM KARI DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, 1177 US HWY 2 E, KALISPELL, MT 59901. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY; THIS WILL EXPIRE 07/28/10. SINCE ABOUT MARCH 1ST, 2010 IT HAS BEEN STALLING AND LUNGING AT LOW SPEEDS; WHICH MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT WAS CONDENSATION IN THE GAS LINE, BUT IT FINALLY DIED ON THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC 03/16/10. SO I CALL KARI DODGE 03/17/10 AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT INTO KARI DODGE 03/18/10 AND THEY CLAIM THE FIXED THE PROBLEM, SO I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ON 03/22/10 I CALLED KARI AGAIN AND REPORTED TO THEM THE DURANGO IS STILL STALLING/HESITATING/LUNGING. I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN 03/23/10 AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK AND KARI 17 MILES LATER I WAS JUST SHAKING AND SICK TO MY STOMACH. SO FAR THE DURANGO HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF KARI DODGE THREE TIMES AND WILL GO IN AGAIN 04/12/10. EACH TIME THEY CALL ME THEY SAY IT'S READY. I PICK IT UP AND CONTINUES TO STALL AND LUNGE. THEY CLAIM SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE DRIVEN IT AND EVEN THEIR SERVICE MANGER, MIKE, COULD NOT GET THE DURANGO TO DO WHAT WE SAY IT'S DOING. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN DRIVEN THE DURANGO ALL WEEKEND AFTER KARI DODGE HAS SAID IT IS READY AND IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. WE HAD A FRIEND DRIVE IT TODAY AND IT DID THE VERY SAME THING WE ARE SAYING IT DOES. THE DURANGO HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WE (MY HUSBAND AND I )COULD BE IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR BE REAR ENDED. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER STARTED WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER #[XXX] AND I HAVE ALSO LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC -REF#[XXX]. I HAVE KEPT A PRETTY GOOD JOURNAL THIS PAST MONTH IN REGARDS TO KARI DODGE AND MY DURANGO. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. KARI DODGE ALWAYS ASKS ME IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON----IT DOES NOT. KARI DODGE ALSO ALWAYS ASKS ME IF I WARM IT UP EVERY MORNING- I ALWAYS DO.
