    I had stopped at a stop sign and attempted to turn left. As soon as i took my foot off brake & onto gas, car completely stopped and shut off, leaving the car in the middle of the intersection. It was raining & similar has happened twice before during rain. Both previous times though, all electrical systems would work but i would have to wait about 15 minutes until car would restart. This time however, nothing was…

    I am original owner and love my durango but since i have owned it i cannot drive in rain. The vehicle sputters and dies and check engine light comes on. I found several places online of people with same complaint and the issue is the original cowl. I looked and mine does not have a taller ridge around the wiper bolts or a ridge to divert the water from running into my engine. I need the 2nd generation cowl that was…

    Key fhob's have not been working for a while. Replace battery still not working. Now my shift motor on the transfer case is randomly shifting and locking in 4wd high. This happens while driving down the road. It happens while parked in the parking lot then when you go to drive hard to turn or get out of 4wd. When it locks in 4wd it is nearly impossible to back up. It doesn't seem to matter whether you're parked…

    I have an awd vehicle. This vehicle has a knob that you can switch to go to 4 lock. My truck has been shifting into this mode all by itself. This is very dangerous as when it does the vehicle kind of locks up and becomes very difficult/impossible to move. I have 4 children and this is our main vehicle that we use. This is ridiculous. When researching this issue, there are a ton of complaints for the same thing.…

    The black box on the inside of the dash got so hot that it melted off the actuator for the blend door. I currently have no control of my air placement. I was sitting idle with the heat on then noticed a plastic burning smell coming from the dash area.

    My well-maintained 2004 dodge durango slt began doing something bizarre a few months ago at about 120,000 miles. This has 4.7l v8 and the awd-4hi-4lo 2-speed transfer case. The "service 4wd" and the traction control light began flashing, and it felt like the transfer case was stuck in 4hi with the tires grabbing on a turn. The selector knob on the dash would not function. I brought the truck to my mechanic who…

    Within one year of purchasing the vehicle, engine cluster lights started coming on. Air bag warning, abs, traction control, check engine and brake warning lights as well as the speedometer failing to work. We have had the vehicle in over 12 times in the past 5 years for this recurring problem. The vehicle is now out of warranty but the problem is still happening. I have been told by a non chrysler mechanic that the…
