Electrical System · Seats
Drivers power seat 'slack". When you apply brakes to stop, the seat slides forward then returns back after the stopping motion ends. This affects the drivers seat position and braking action. In an accident this will put the driver closer to the steering wheel and air bag. Suspension- driving on the freeway , if you encounter bumpy or rough roads on a curve the car will sometimes slip sideways a bit, it's enough to…

I bought a 2000 dodge durango back in july of 2014 from a local dealership. In october of 2015 the vehicle was in motion on a city street, going about 30 miles per hour. A cloud of black smoke came out of my heater vents, it smelt of burnt plastic and sulfur. Almost immediately after that happened all my dash lights came on and started dinging at me, and the battery voltage meter went from over 18 to under 14. I was…

This last time it wouldn't restart and we had it towed home and it started up after that just fine. I have replaced most of the ignition system and pulled the fuel pump to no avail. It is my wife's car and…

I own a 2000 dodge durango slt 4wd. The vehicle shuts off when the outdoor temperature exceeds 75 degrees. I have traced the issue to the pcm of the vehicle, which becomes so hot that you cannot touch its metal housing with your hands. The pcm is located in the engine compartment, bolted above the passenger front tire. The pcm has three wire harnesses attached to it, and once the pcm heats up, a "kill" switch is…

It has had a complete tune up and been to the mechanic at least 5 times. Nothing shows up on the codes, it will only show the word nobus in the odometer and it takes from 10 minutes to one hour before it will restart. This has become very dangerous…

Our door lock system is not working properly. It started with a loud noise when we hit the unlock button. Now, when you hit the unlock from the driver's side door, both passenger doors will not unlock and have to be done so manually. If you use the key on the passenger door, it will unlock all of the doors. Now the drivers side door lock does not lock when hitting door lock, but car alarm is still activated. *tr

A few weeks ago, it started with the door ajar light, and gate open light coming on when nothing was open. A lot of ice build up (bad seals) made the driver door difficult to latch. A week ago we were driving and all of the locks started unlocking repeatedly. Now we can't even lock our truck, it unlocks itself. It does this whether the vehicle is on or not. It also turns on the interior lights. The switches do not…
