2004 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND MADE THE COMPLAINT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND TOOK IT TO MIDAS AND ANOTHER CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT AND WHEN I LOOKED AT IT ONLINE IT SAID IT WAS THE COWL SO I WENT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND TOLD THEM. THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY HAD TO PRINT OFF WHAT EVERYONE ONE HAD COMPLAINED, SO THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER UNDER THE HOOD WHICH WAS 40 DOLLARS NOT THAT COSTLY. BUT STILL WHEN IT RAINS, IT RUNS ROUGH AND LIKE IT GOING TO DIE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS GOING TO NEW YORK. VERY SCARY GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND IT STARTING RAINING HARD ALL OF THE SUDDEN GOING 70 , DROP TO 30. TRUCKS ON MY BUTT. NOT A GOOD THING. STILL EVERY TIME IT RAINS HARD IT STILL HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ALMOST 3 YRS. AGO FOR 10,000 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE WARRANTY AND IT'S ABOUT OVER AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. SO EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO A REPAIR PLACE I HAVE TO PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT'S A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. SO BASCIALLY I CANT DRIVE MY CAR IN HEAVY RAIN.

TRUCK SVC 4WD LIGHT ON. TRUCK GOES INTO 4LO BY ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING. LATER WHEN I WENT OUT IN TRUCK SVC.4WD IS OFF I GET TO STOPLIGHT & I FEEL A LOUD THUD LIKE I'M BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. NOW SVC.4WD LIGHT STAYS ON & CAR IS HARD TO TURN. *TR

AWD TRUCK PUTS ITSELF INTO 4 WD FOR NO REASON. CAUSES VEHICLE TO BECOME HARD TO DRIVE. THIS IS REDICULOUS. TONS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS. DOES IT WHILE JUST IDLING IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY 4 KIDS IN THE CAR!

THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND I UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS NOT VERY SAFE AND CAN ALSO CAUSE VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POWERTRAIN.
