Key fob poorly designed which leads to small interier metal prong breaking causing the key to be no good.

This is a true safety issue when your holding two infants and trying to open the door and stop the alarm from sounding. I was also approached by officers…

That worked for some time along with tapping it upside down so that the battery would transmit to the remote (not sure) but…

The power on the stereo becomes frozen; if the radio is on when starting the car it will stay on but if it was off, it cannot be powered on. I am able to manipulate the volume via the buttons behind the steering wheel but only the am/fm mode works and not the cd or aud/alternate mode for my ipod. I'm not positive, but i…

Car sometimes starts without electrical response: turn the ignition on and engine starts but no electricity. Driving on interstate 95 and all electricity to all panels and power steering shuts off. This happens often and results in having to coast to stop on the side of the interstate with little control of the vehicle. I have to restart engine several times before electrical response is restored. A tumbler kit was…

Equipment · Fog Lights
The fog lights, located in the bumper of the 2004 dodge durango is damaged when debris (rocks) from the road way are kicked up. The fog lights are made of glass but the headlights are covered in plastic. Little stones where kicked up by trucks which broke both fog lamps costing 140 dollars in repair for just driving down the roadway. I feel this is a defect in the construction of this vehicle because these lamps are…
