I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO IN FEB. OF 2006. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. MY ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH HAD BEEN COMING ON PERIODICALLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REQUIRED REPAIRS. THE ABS LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES TO DATE AND AS OF YESTERDAY THE ABS LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK WHICH WAS TWO WEEKS AGO THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS THE ABS COMPUTER HAD THE WRONG TIRE SIZE PROGRAMMED INTO IT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY CORRECTED THAT AND WAS SURE THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON JUST AFTER I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT MOVING. THE OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS MOVING. BY THE WAY I HAVE NOT CHANGED THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, THE FACTORY TIRES AND WHEELS ARE ON THE VEHICLE THAT CAME WITH IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AND HAVE MADE FIVE ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITH NO RESULTS. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM CONSIDERING TURNING THE VEHICLE BACK IN UNDER THE LEMON LAW.... *TR

JUST LEFT MY HOME NOT DRIVING MORE THAN 30 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST COMPLETE POWER. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY DID A "PCM REFLASH WITH AN INSTRUMENT PANEL SOFTWARE UPDATE" THEY ALSO REPLACED THE CLUSTER. NOW 2 AND HALF MONTHS LATER, I HAVED MOVED OUT OF STATE AND ONCE AGAIN JUST LEAVING MY HOUSE NOT GOING ABOVE 30 MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES AND SAFELY RETURN HOME (IT WAS DARK), HOWEVER THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND IT FELT AS THOUGH IT WOULD LOOSE POWER AGAIN, LIKE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. ALSO ON MY DRIVE HERE FROM CALIFORNIA (TO INDIANA) I LOST MY CRUISE CONTROL. THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAPPEND TONIGHT AND WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO DODGE DEALER TOMORROW. *JB

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. MY 2006 DURANGO SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO CHANGE GEARS. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE AIR IS ON. HOWEVER, IT DOES IT WAY TOO OFTEN WHEN THE AIR ISN'T ON. IT SEEMS LIKE A BIG JERK, AND IT TAKES IT A MINUTE TO GET INTO THE GEAR. ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP. IT HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS AS WELL AS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. I LOVE MY CAR. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. HOWEVER, IF THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TRADE IT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE RECALL ON IT FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 DURANGO SEEM TO SLIP AT TIMES. I HAVE GONE TO STOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THE BRAKES SEEM TO TAKE A SECOND TO KICK IN. I HAVE THOUGHT BEFORE I WASN'T GOING TO STOP. THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME. I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, AND I AM NOT SAFE AT TIMES IN THIS CAR. IT ISN'T EVERYTIME , BUT IT HAPPENS TOO OFTEN TO FEEL WORRY FREE. *TR
