What owners wrote
Engine stalled several times during vehicle turns. This occurs every year with the vehicle especially during warm weather months. Currently still own vehicle and had one injury accident in 2013 directly related to stalling issues.
My 2005 dodge durango stalls at low speeds. Sometimes it happens during idle and other times it happens when I slow down to turn. It has happened the entire life of the car and no dealership has been able to diagnose or fix the problem.
