2004 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

RECENTLY WHEN RAIN FALLS HEAVILY THE ENGINE STARTS SPUTTING & CUTS OFF THEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC & THEY PUT THE MACHINE ON IT. IT SHOWS NOTHING IS WRONG. PUT KEEPS DOING IT ONLY WHEN HEAVY RAINS FALLS. FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DODGE & FOUND OUT ITS THE COWLING. CHANGED THE COWLING BUT ITS STILL DOING IT. ITS A DODGE PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM & ITS COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY

MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO SUFFERED THE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO HYDROLOCK FROM THE POOR COWL DESIGN. I LIVE IN BEAR COUNTRY, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN STRANDED WITH 800LBS OF CLAWS AND TEETH. I STARTED THE MOTOR IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING A LIGHT RAIN SHOWER ONLY TO HEAR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE, IT RAN FOR 5 SECONDS THEN DIED. PLENTY OF VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE 2012 HEMI HAD A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MINE TO BE REPLACED FOR A VERY LONG TIME! I FINALLY GOT A CALL FOR AN APPT AT A PLACE 25 MINUTES AWAY TO FIX MY AIRBAGS THEN WHEN IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR MY APT THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY RAN OUT OF PARTS AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY GOT MORE FROM THE COMPANY. THAT WAS A VERY LONG TIME AGO AND STILL NO WORD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISN'T REALLY A RECAL THAT IT HAS ACTUALLY NEVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE SO I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THIS RECALL. THE FIRST CALL WAS IN FEB AFTER I HAD CALLED MONTHS PRIOR TO GET AN APPT THEY MADE ME AN APPT FOR MARCH THEN CALLED BEFORE IT TO TELL ME THEY HAD NO PARTS.
