First off, the power driver seat moves with the motion of the car about a 1/2" forward and back. It has been told to me that a spacer is needed to be installed in the mechanism. Second and more important is the engine cuts off when the car is decelerating; all power to the car is impeded. The car will not restart immediately.

After seeing 2 mechanics, they sent me to an electrical specialist who determined it was my pcm. I replaced it 3 times, and the second one sent to me had holes drilled in it then filled with silicone. That one worked the…

Head gasket leak created a heater core issue where coolant would "mist" through the vents. This posed a health risk to my children and i who have asthma. And there's no telling the long term effects of inhaling coolant mist. Due to cost, we had to reroute the heater core, thus disabling it and going without heat and defrost during the winter months. Since then, the gasket issue is now causing even more issues of…

Multiple times the truck has just died. Driving down the road no warning. The vehicle runs just fine and starts right back up. Yesterday this happened on the highway and almost caused a major accident. When it dies you loose all power steering and power brakes. It is dangerous and ive found numerous complaints online from durango owners with the same problem.
