2007 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE PULLING INTO A TIRE SHOP PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT'S FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO THE TIRE SHOP WALL AND THROUGH THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. AN EMPLOYEE SUSTAINED A BROKEN LEG. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE AND SHOULD BE SPACED APART. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I BOUGHT A CAR "DODGE DURANGO LIMITED" FROM DODGE DEALER "UNITED MOTORS" IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA BACK IN OCT 29TH , 2007. THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR STARTED SINCE I BOUGHT IT. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I STARTED TO FEEL VIBRATIONS IN AT THE STEERING AND A HIGH PITCH SOUND AT THE FRONT TO THE DEGREE THAT I COULD NOT WAIT FOR THE 5000 KM MAINTENANCE AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT AT THE 3500 KM FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE OTHER PROBLEM WAS THAT THE REAR WINDOW DRIVER'S SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING. THE REPORT FROM MAINTENANCE WAS THE NEED FOR WHEEL BALANCE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY FIXED IT, SOFTWARE UPGRADE DONE FOR THE SOUND, BUT THEY APOLOGIZED ABOUT THE REAR WINDOW WITH NO FURTHER ACTION. AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM OF VIBRATION BUT I BROUGHT IT AGAIN AT THE 5000 KM FOR THE GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND THE SAME PROBLEM OF VIBRATION. THIS TIME THE DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A LETTER TO GOODYEAR TIRES AS AN EXPERT OPINION. THE GOODYEAR DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A REPORT (ATTACHED) THAT THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE WITH FLAT SPOTS DUE TO STORAGE, NEED TO BE CHANGED AND ADVISED TO GET AND APPROVAL FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP. FIRST, I MET WITH MR. ALI M. RADAIDEH AND HIS WORDS WERE AS FOLLOWS: "WE DO NOT TAKE THE WORDS OF GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP AND WE HAVE TO MAKE OUR OWN INVESTIGATION" THIS WAS ALREADY DONE AND THEY TRIED THEIR BEST TWICE. "YOUR TIRES ARE SAFE AND CAN BE DRIVEN FOR EVEN ONE YEAR". THIS CONFLICTS WITH THE WORDS OF GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP AND REALLY ENDANGERS ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. AT THIS POINT, I NEEDED TO ESCALATE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER, "MR. FAISAL ALJAMAAN" WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDS AND BEHAVIOR: "DODGE AND GOODYEAR ARE POINTING FINGERS TO EACH OTHER AND YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL WE RESOLVE THIS". HE THREATENED ME" TO LOSE A LOT OF MONEY" WHEN I MENTIONED THE OPTION OF RETURNING THE CAR. *TR THANK YOU AND BEST REGARDS *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT IT RUNNING. SHE REACHED INSIDE TO CUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS SHE REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THREW THE CONTACT TO THE GROUND. THE FRONT TIRE RAN OVER THE CONTACT'S LEFT LEG. THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND STOPPED. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER LEFT LEG. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I HAD BEEN NOTICING THAT WHEN I WOULD FILL UP MY DURANGO, WHEN IT GOT TO THE TOP, IT WOULD SPILL OUT ALL OVER MY CAR AND ON THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT IT TO DISCOVER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING AND ADVISED ME TO CALL THE NUMBER LISTED 1-800-853-1403. I WAS TOLD BY THE PERSON ON THE ON THE OTHER END THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. I PROCEEDED TO TELL HER EVEN THOUGH WHEN THIS VERY RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING AND IT IS A 2005 MODEL. SHE SAID NO. WELL I AM NOW HAVING TO HAVE THIS SAME RECALL ISSUE FIXED AND PAID FOR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE MY MECHANIC. HE WILL BE SUBMITTING THIS ON THE BILL AS TO WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TRIED DOING THIS THE NICE WAY BUT NO ONE ON THE OTHER END WOULD LISTEN. GO FIGURE. I WILL ALSO BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AS WELL. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 DODGE DURANGO ON 9/21/07 FROM HATCH MOTOR COMPANY IN SNOWFLAKE, AZ. I HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS WHEN IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND I REPORTED IT TO THE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THE GAS GAUGE, HAZARD LIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, HIGH AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, THEY CHECKED IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUSTER BOX AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE HOME. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME ONE UNLESS I PURCHASED THE "CHRYSLER CONTRACT" OR UNLESS I PAID FOR ONE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE A DOWN PAYMENT FOR THE VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION TO THEM AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT PROVIDE ONE FOR ME. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME WHICH IS OVER 250 MILES IN THE DARK WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY. I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS TO YOU DUE TO THE SERIOUS HAZARD AND THEY LET ME DRIVE IT HOME. *TR

SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE ARE DIFFERENT SIZE (SMALLER) THAN THE WHEELS/TIRES ON THE GROUND. CAR PURCHASED WITH "FULL SIZE SPARE" SPECIFIED. DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SAY "THE SPARE YOU HAVE IS WHAT THE SPECS SAY ARE STANDARD". THEY ALSO SAY, "IT'S ONLY A SPARE". THIS FULL-TIME 4WD CAR CONTAINS MANY WARNINGS ABOUT KEEPING ALL TIRES SAME INFLATION, SIZE, TYPE, ETC. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LIGHT TRUCKS OCCURRED, CHRYSLER BEGAN SHIPPING SPARE SAME SIZE AS TIRES ON THE GROUND. *TR

1. PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW GOES DOWN BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVING AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS PUSHED THE AUTO DOWN CONTROL - BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID THEY RESET THE CONTROLS. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM NOW ALSO EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE CAR STARTS BACKING UP THEN THE GOES INTO NEUTRAL AUTOMATICALLY. *JB

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WHEEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT MAKE A REPLACEMENT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL.

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE DURANGO BOUGHT 3/7/07, AND ON DATE 4/4/07 BEEN IN SHOP TWICE FOR STEERING ISSUES AND THEY HAVE BOTH TIMES SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. THE DURANGO ALSO HAS IDLE ISSUE AND HARMONIC BALANCE ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING I HAVE TO KEEP STEERING TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO STAY STRAIGHT, TURN TO RIGHT NOT EVEN HALF INCH AND YOU ARE IN THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. GO AROUND CURVE AT 35 TO 45 MPH AND YOU FEEL LIKE TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. DEALER SHIP HAS ON BOTH OCCASIONS IN SHOP SAID NOTHING WRONG. THERE IS A RECALL ON STEERING HOWEVER MINE WASN'T INCLUDED. VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN OWN LANE WHEN DRIVING. NOTHING HAS CORRECTED. A BACK TIRE WAS REPLACED ON 4-2-07 DEALER CHECKED DROVE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. *AK
