“My wife and I have a concern with our 2007 model as to the proximity of the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. When the brake pedal is pushed I can also push the accelerator pedal at the same time, if I am not careful. I'v done it more times that I want to, but mostly in our garage when I start the car and push the brake to put it in gear to back out. ...updated 01/29/15”
NHTSA complaint #10680207, filed 2015-01, 85,000 miles“Driving on us1 in the florida keys, key largo. Pulled into turning lane, applied brakes, nothing happened, car continued at regular speed, kept applying brakes without response until the car collided at approximately 30 MPH into a white suburban vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. Tried to get attention from Dodge and the dealer that replaced the ABS system the month prior without success. I suffered multiple herniated discs in my cervical.”
NHTSA complaint #10669303, filed 2014-12, 99,000 miles“I will be driving and my 4wd lock will engage without me turning it on causing my tires to stick to the road. It prevents me from turning my steering wheel without the car acting like it is going tip over. It seems like the same problem that was experienced with the 2006 Dodge durangos.”
NHTSA complaint #10434445, filed 2011-11, 82,000 miles“The front calipers of my Durango have seized up 7 times in the last 3 years. It is professionally serviced and the shop is becoming tired of servicing the vehicle since the failures occur under the warranty period and doesn't cost me anything except time. The time between failures is increasing. It was only 3 months and 2000 miles since having new calipers installed this time. The shop had the vehicle for 3 days because so many Dodge vehicles are having the same problem calipers are in short supply.”
NHTSA complaint #10618235, filed 2014-08, 74,000 miles“The accelerator of our 2007 Durango at rest is about 1 inch lower than the brake. I have several times stepped on the brake to put it in gear and am also stepping on the accelerator, because it is too close to the same height. The brake is slightly higher. This causes quite a jerk when I start the car and put in gear quickly. We have a 2000 Durango. The separation height of the brake vs the accelerator is 2 3/4 inches. I've never experienced the same with it. I took the car to two dealers that said there is no adjustment to either the brake or the accelerator. Chrysler corp. …”
