TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT CAN SWITCH GEARS WITHOUT FIRST ENGAGING THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMER REPAIRED THE POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER AND LINKAGE COLUMN SHIFT PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V555000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT). IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN OVERHEATING REPEATEDLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, COOLANT TUBE, FAN CLUTCH, AND THE CONTROL BOX; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 102,000.

DRIVING LIGHTS WENT ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN SERVICED FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALL #57272 FOR 2003 DODGE DURANGOS. THEY HAVE A BODY CONTROL MODULE ISSUE ON THIS YEAR MODEL. MINE IS A 2001 DURANGO THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND DODGE WILL NOT HELP WITH ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE RECALL YEAR. WHILE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THERE ARE OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS VERY POOR WHEN ASKED TO ASSIST IN THIS REGARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC SHIFT TRANSFER CASE DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE INTO GEAR WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR SWITCH IS MOVED; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE ENDS UP IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V077000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT). THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 93,000.

AFTER PURCHASING MY DURANGO USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE GOING UP PASSES, PASSING CAR, TOWING ETC. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN OVER FILLED CAUSING THIS. I THEN DROVE IT AGAIN AND IT STILL HAPPENED. IN RESEARCHING MY DURANGO I FOUND THAT IT ALREADY HAD ITS TRANNY REPLACED AT 60K MILES BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I ALSO HAVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER THAT WILL COME OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PRESSED, BUT I SEE THEY ACTUALLY RECALLED THAT PARTICULAR ITEM SO IT WILL SOON BE FIXED. I ALSO HAVE REAR AND PASSENGER WINDOW THAT STOPPED ROLLING UP OR DOWN BY THEIR CONTROLS BUT STILL OPERATE WITH DRIVER CONTROLS. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST MY ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE A TRIP STATING THAT I HAD A COOLANT LEAK. I HAD JUST WASHED MY DURANGO SO I RESET THE LIGHT AND IT HASN'T CAME BACK ON AGAIN. WHAT DID HAPPEN THOUGH IS AS SOON AS I RESET THE LIGHT MY SERVICE 4WD LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT CLEAR. DOES DODGE ACTUALLY RECALL THE ANNOYING THINGS TOO OR DO THEY WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES A PROBLEM THAT ACTUALLY KILLS SOMEONE BEFORE ANYONE TAKES NOTICE? HELLO TOYOTA HERE WE COME TIRE OF ALL THE TRANNY ISSUES WITH AMERICAN CARS. *TR

POWER LOCKS, HEADLIGHTS, DOME LIGHTS, INTERMITTENT WIPERS, AND REAR WIPER ALL FLICKER AND THEN FAIL TO WORK. ALSO, THERE IS A BUZZING AND TICKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE FUSE BOX EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF! I UNPLUGGED THE NEGATIVE LEAD ON THE BATTERY. THE PROBLEM CAME RIGHT BACK! *TR

MY DRIVERS BUCKET SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH DUE TO A BROKEN BRACKET OR RAIL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL MENTIONS OF THE EXACT SAME CONDITION OF OTHER 1999 TO 2001 DODGE DURANGO OWNERS AND CHRYSLER DENIES HEARING OF OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS EXACT SAME CONDITION. I HOPE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE POSTED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET ARE REPORTING TO YOU AS WELL BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE SERVICE CENTERS ARE ASKING FOR $600 TO $900 TO FIX THIS. *TR
