| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TRIED TO TURN TO GO UP THE HILL TO MY STREET WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T TURN OR STOP CAUSE MY VEHICLE CUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL SINCE I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP SINCE I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST. THIS WAS MY LAST STRAW SINCE IF I DO WRECK IT WILL BE MY FAULT AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT WRONG AND THINKS I AM CRAZY SINCE IT CAN'T BE RECREATED. AFTER SEEING HOW THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE 2005, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPORTED AND GOT RECALLED, THAT THIS ISN'T RECALLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT SOMEONE OR EVEN POSSIBLE KILL SOMEONE!!! I DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS DONE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED IT AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! CALL 18009921997. IF WE CAN REPORT THIS ENOUGH, MAYBE IT WILL RAISE ATTENTION TO SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND EVEN MORE FEARFUL FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN IT AND IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR FAMILY CAR. IF I GET IN A WRECK I WILL GET A LAWYER AND I WILL SUE THEM. *TR |
