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.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V313000 (Air Bags) and 16V352000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact then received a second recall notice which stated that parts were now available. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parts were still not available even though a letter was received which stated otherwise. The contact recently called back the same dealer and was informed that the dealer was only receiving a limited supply of parts and could not service the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

2007 DURANGO RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN TBE HIGHWAY. IT HAS STALLED AS MANY AS 3 TIMES IN 12 MILE TRIP FROM HOME. IT STALLS WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD AT TIMES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL STALL. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 60MPH. I KNOW OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION ON SOME DODGE FORUMS. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SENSOR, IGNITION COILS, PCU AND ASD RELAYS. SOMETHING US DANGEROUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND MY LIFETIME WARRANTY WAS VOIDED BECAUSE THEY SAID I TOOK IT IN TOO EARLY TO HAVE IT CHECKED. NO ONE CALLED OR LET ME KNOW I NEEDED TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BUT THEY CAN CALL ME EVERY SINGLE DAY TO TELL ME THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL. IT ISN'T MPORTANT WHEN YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS.

MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HAS BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE THE 4X4 KEEPS TURNING ITSELF ON WITHOUT ME ACTUALLY ENGAGING IT. IVE BEEN HAVING A VERY HUGE WITH SOLVING THE ISSUE BUT I WAS ABLE TO READ A FORUM WHICH STATED THAT I SHOULD FILL OUT THIS FORM. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, IN MOTION, OR WHEN I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY PAD.

VEHICLE IS SWITCHING INTO 4WD LOW WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE ACTUATOR ACTIVATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING AND WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BASED ON RESEARCH THAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES FOR DODGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM COULD CHANGE INTO 4WD OR 4WD LOCK AT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONSISTENTLY GOING BAD , DUE TO FAULTY WIRING HARNESS OR OTHER ISSUES. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING , AND THE ITS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO JUST REPLACE , BUT I REPLACE 1 A YEAR . I HAVE REPLACED 6 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM TO WHY THE CPS KEEPS FAILING .

WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERE. NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN SHOWING DOWN. THE DURANGO DOES NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY AND HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE OTHER DAY IT STALLED AT 5AM IN THE MORNING WHILE CROSS A BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE HAZARDS AND HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I WAS SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME. IT STARTED UP ABOUT 6 MINUTES LATER WHICH FELT LIKE A LIFETIME. THIS DURANGO HAS ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF STALING AND STARTING BACK UP BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED HOW MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WAS DUE TO HAVING NO LIGHTS OR HAZARDS AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT.
