“My Durango is one of hundreds possibly thousands of vehicles that has the transfer case mysteriously shifting on its own. It can be triggered by the unlock button, even the dome light. The transfer case is now shifting all the time in and out of position both when the vehicle is under operation and parked. The is dangerous and Dodge claims to know nothing. I spent 10 minutes and found hundreds of chrysler vehicles with the same symptoms and no definitive answers. (google Dodge Durango svc 4wd light) please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10610200, filed 2014-07, 102,000 miles“On dec 19 2008 as I was driving home during a severe thunderstorm when my driver side wind shield wiper suddenly stopped working and got tangled up with the passenger side wiper that continued to work normally. This happened minutes before I was about to enter the freeway so luckily I was in a place where I could safely pull over. I tried to wait out the storm but it was getting really bad so I had to drive at 20-30 MPH with my hazard lights on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10255124, filed 2009-01, 48,098 miles“I got a recall letter for my 2005 Dodge Durango at around 60,000 miles. I was told that the recall did not match my SUV VIN and that nothing was wrong. I now have 76,000 miles on the Durango and it started throwing up fuel when completing a fill up. This happens everytime now. Dodge already said my truck was good and that nothing was wrong with it. I am sure you they will try and tell me to cover the cost on my own. I will not cover the cost I promise you that. Dodge you are responsible for this, so fix it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10390468, filed 2011-03, 76,000 miles“I took my SUV in for service as it was not running smoothly and had trouble changing gears.Dodge made alterations and returned it .shortly after that it stalled out while driving & the check engine light came on. The reading indicated problems with the 02 sensor. After hesitation, Dodge replaced my o2 sensor and said the stall out was not related to the check engine light coming on, it didn't stall when they drove it, so they did not consider it a problem. Days later it stalled out & the check engine light came on again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10179127, filed 2007-01, 34,500 miles“I have a 2005 Dodge Durango limited w/ hemi. We purchased this vehicle used w/ 26,000 miles on it a year and 4 months ago. I have experienced several problems w/ it: broken remote keys-the remote locking devices on both keys are now dysfunctional due to the solder that holds the battery in place breaking. I cannot lock/unlock vehicle from outside and when it is locked from inside prior to exiting, upon re-entry, the alarm sounds until key is put into ignition and vehicle is started. The amount of money to replace these keys is outrageous!!!! …”
