2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE FRONT HEAT/AC CONTROLS STOP WORKING. IT DOESN'T MATTER RATHER THE HEAT IS ON OR THE AC IS ON. IT WILL RANDOMLY STOP BLOWING AIR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH (UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX) GET EXTREMELY HOT AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED INTO IT THE WHITE PLASTIC PIGTAIL PART WAS HALF MELTED AWAY. HE REPLACED IT BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER WE HAD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DIDN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW AFTER 2 DAYS OF DRIVING IT SINCE IT WAS SITTING IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO EQUIPPED WITH NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER G2 TIRES, SIZE: 285/70/17. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S TIRE BLEW OUT AND SHREDDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

4LO LIGHT BLINKS OR STAYS ON FOR SHORT PERIODS AND THE 44 LOCKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND BECOME HARD TO CONTROL IN TURNING AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A SHARP TURN UNTIL IT DISENGAGES. THIS HAPPENS IN CITY DRIVING OR STOPPING AND STARTING OR ON BACK ROAD DRIVING. IT CAN BE FINE WHEN I PARK IT AND WHEN I UNLOCK GET IN AND START OUT IT MAY OR MAY NOT LOCK INTO 44 BUT WHEN IT DOES IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER IN TIGHT PARKING SPACES. I FEELS LIKE THE POWER TRAIN IS GOING TO FALL COMPLETELY APPART.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY VEHICLE WILL KICK INTO 4X4 LO WITH NO WARNING OR NOTICE. HAPPENS ON TIGHT TURNS. SEEMS THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM ON 2004-2005 DODGE DRUANGO.

I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER A STORAGE FACILITY AND WAS SLOWLY EASING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHEN WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY MY SUV LURCHED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED OUT OF MY CONTROL TORE THROUGH THE STORAGE GATE THAT DIDN'T FINISH OPENING TOTALLY DESTROYING THE FACILITIY MAIN GATE. THE SUV KEPT ACCELERATING AS I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE THEN FINALLY STOPPED.

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME WHEN FUELING. I TRY TO PUMP AS SLOWLY AS POSSIBLE BUT FUEL STILL RUNS DOWN SIDE OF TRUCK WHEN ABOUT 3/4 FULL EVERY SINGLE FILL-UP. LAST HAPPENED PREVIOUS SATURDAY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING LAST 15,000 MILES. LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG.
