2004 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE VEHICLE'S RADIO STOPPED WORKING. *NM WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO CHANGE LANES, HE NOTICED A DELAYED REACTION FROM THE TIME HE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED ALL THE PROBLEMS HE HAD EXPERIENCED AND AFTER A DIAGNOSTICS TEST WAS DONE, THE DEALER STATED THE COMPUTER DISPLAYED A CODE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO THEY ERASED IT. ONE MONTH LATER, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFTER DID NOT GO INTO THE PARK POSITION IT STAYED IN THE REVERSE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT 2 BOLTS AND A BRACKET WERE MISSING FROM THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT AND A NEW PROBLEM HAD SURFACED. THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ PASS AIR BAG OFF. *JB

FIRST THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF ALL BY ITS SELF AND THEY SAID THAT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL THEY SAID AND TRIED TO FIX IT. I GOT MY NEW DURANGO BACK AND THEN IT OVER HEATED. I WAS ON I-95 WHEN THEN IT OVER HEATED. IT WAS TOWED. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL PROBLUM WITH THE HORN AND THEY COULDNT GET IT TO OVERHEAT. MABEY IT WAS A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. THEY SAID. THEN IT WOULDNT CRANK , THREE TIMES THIS HAPPEND. THEY HAD TO TOW IT. COSTING THEM A LITTLE MONEY. WELL ACCUALY IT COST DODGE WELL OVER 350.00 PLUS COST OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG. AND KEEPING A VEHICLE I PAY 556.00 PER MO. FOR. I KNOW THIS MAY BE A SMALL PROBLUM TO YOU BUT SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A LEMON LAW SHOULD BE IN AFECT. I JUST WANT MY VEHICILE BACK BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SUV. WHILE THERE( TRYING TO FIGURE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLUM OUT ) IM TIERD OF THIS PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TWO KIDS AND THIS IS THE 2ND CAR IVE PURCHASED. THE FIRST ONE I BOUGHT I WAS SATICFIED WITH, BUT GOT TO SMALL FOR MY NEW FAMILY. I LOVE MY SUV AND PAID 35,0000.00 AND IT WONT EVEN START. IT DRAINS THE BATTERY ALL BY ITS SELF OVERNIGHT.*AK

WHEN THE REAR POWER WINDOWS ARE DOWN THE WIND IS SO LOUD THAT IT IRRITATES THE OCCUPANT'S EAR. THE VEHICLE ALSO VIBRATES WHEN REAR WINDOWS ARE DOWN. *AK *NM

AIR CONDITIONER FAILS TO COOL. FAN WORKS BUT BLOWS HOT AIR. IF VEH IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE UNIT AGAIN FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. DEALER REPLACED THE CONTROL UNIT BUT AIR CONDITIONER CONTINUES TO FAIL.*AK

I HAVE THE 04 DURANGO HEMI WITH 4600 MILES ON IT; THE VEHICLE STALLS ON AVERAGE TWICE A WEEK ON HILLS. THE DEALER CAN NOT PULL OFF ANY CODES FROM THE COMPUTER AND THUS IS NOT ALLOWED BY DODGE TO REPLACE PARTS UNLESS BAD. *JB THATS WHERE THE CATCH 22 COMES IN THE DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DODGE WILL NOT LET THEM REPLACE PARTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT'S BEEN IN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES NOW AND I KEEP ON GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER WHICH IS "THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO". IT HAS EVEN STALLED AT 55 MPH WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. *JB

THE CONSUMER HAS HAD FOUR TIRE BLOW OUTS ON HIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH OF 2004. THE RUNNING BOARD WAS DAMAGED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB

GOODYEAR SRA WRANGLER HAD CATASTROPHIC SIDEWAL DETACHMENT AND FAILURE WITH 5000 MILES ON THE DODGE DURANGO 2004 MODEL. SHOULD HAVE KILLED ALL ABOARD BUT LUCKILY GOT OFF INTERSTAE JUST BARELY.*AK

ON 6/28/2004, MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND MY GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE GEAR SHIFT. THE AC NOT WORKING IS A RESULT OF AN APPARENT COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY DURANGO IN FOR SERVICE 4+ TIMES AND THE AC IS STILL NOT FIXED. IT BLOWS HOT AIR AT RANDOM. YOU CANNOT DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE OF THE LOAD NOISE. IT HURTS YOUR EARS AND YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY ROLL THEM UP, SAME THING WITH THE MOON ROOF. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING A MODULE. THE INFORMED ME THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT COMMUNITCATING WITH THE AIRBAG, RESULTING IN THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT IT HAS AN AIRBAG.*AK
