2001 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT CONSUMER IN THE REAR, BOTH PASSENGER'S SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBACKS FELL BACKWARDS. SINCE THE INCIDENT PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, SEAT WON'T COME ALL THE WAY UP. *AK THERE WERE 2 INJURIES.*JB

KEY WAS IN IGNITION WHILE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND CHILD SHIFTED VEHICLE OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE WITHOUT DEPRESSING BRAKES, CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM ENGAGES WITHOUT PRESSING FOOT ON BRAKE. A SMALL CHILD WAS ABLE TO PUT INTO GEAR. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *AK *SCC

THIS CAR IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THIS IS UNHEARD OF. THE VEICHLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK LEAVING ME WITH NO TRANSPORTATION. NO ARRANGEMENT WERE MADE FOR A FREE RENTAL BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A ONE YEAR OLD CAR!. UNHAPPY CUSTOMER.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AFTER STALLING THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START, THE MESSAGE NO BUS APPEARED RIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND THE PCM CRANKSHAFT.*JB

I WAS NOT TOLD THERE WAS NO SAFETY FEATURE ON THIS VEHICHLE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO PUT IT IN GEAR WHILE THE CAR IS ON. SO MY ONE YEAR OLD DROVE THE DURANGO THREW THE GARAGE. AND DODGE TOLD ME IT WAS ON THERE THE FEATURE BUT THE SEARCHED AND DID NOT FIND IT. SO I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2003 HAS THIS SAFETY FEATURE AND THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHY ITS ON THERE NOW. AND THEY WILL NOT PUT ONE ON IT OR GET US IN A 2003. I THOUGHT ALL VEHICHLES WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE THEM FOR SAFETY REASONS LIKE WHAT MY BABY DID. PLEASE HELP US TO GET OUR TRUCK CHILD PROOF. *AK

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IN DRIVE IT WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. CONSUMERS SON WAS ABLE TO JARR THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BY CLIMBING ACROSS THE SEAT. THE GEAR SHIFT IS ABLE TO MOVE FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND OUT OF PARK WITH OUT THE VEHICLE BEING ON. THE DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITHOUT THIS VITAL SAFETY FEATURE. *JG

THE ELECTRIC DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A SLIGHT REARWARD OR ROCKING MOTION WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS EITHER STARTING IN TRAFFIC, OR ACCELERATING. THE SEAT HAS A SLIGHT FORWARD MOTION OR ROCKING WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN, OR STOPPING. THE SEAT HAS HAD THIS CONDITION SINCE IT HAS HAD APROXIMATELY 5,000 ON IT. I HAVE NOT REPORTED IT TO THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS WHO HAVE REPORTED IT THAT DODGE AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER DO NOT CONSIDER IT A DEFECT, AND WILL NOT REPAIR IT.*AK

I WAS ENTERING THE FREE WAY ON 05/10 AND MY CAR DIED. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE AT ALL. I WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED IT. THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER DIED AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW COMPUTER. AFTER RECEIVING IT BACK ON 05/18 I DROVE IT FOR 5 DAYS AND THEN ON MAY 23 THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. IT IS NOW AT THE DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A PART.*AK

WHILE DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, BACKING VEHICLE OUT, IT STARTED TO TRAVEL FAST DUE TO GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL BEING TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
