Rain poured through the wiper cowl and saturated the engine causing it to hydro-lock and blow a rod. This is just one of thousands of complaints about this vehicle. This is obviously a very dangerous manufacturer defect and no one is doing anything about it. Is the government waiting for more people to be killed on the highways due to this? Please advise if something is being done about this. Thank you in advance…

What can i say... Dodge clearly has a design flaw in which water from rain, ect... Leaks onto engine and electrical components slowly causing the death of vehicle with a dying motor and electrical problems. Water pours onto engine right down from the windshield. Who designs this crap!!!! I used the best oils and now this is what i have as a rewards from dodge for my maintenance. *tr

Water got into cylinder and bent rod. My understanding is this is a common issue with the 2004 durango hemi due to design issue of water draining around the engine. Required rebuild or new engine. Unacceptable for a well maintained engine to have this occur, much less, repeatedly occur for many vehicles. *tr

I turned the truck off and the engine remained running, we had to call the fire department because it was smoking and the keys were off. The fire department came and removed…

At that moment it started very rough and made a loud noise from the engine and continually…

Noticed over the past few years water when it rains that it is accumulating on top of the engine. Noticed the engine felt like it had a miss fire on a cylinder. Seal from windshield cowl is no longer making a positive seal and water is dripping down onto the top of the engine and also into the spark plugs. Using you tube there have been numerous complaints of this issue which in turn has resulted in what is called…

Driving down the road at normal highway speeds, if the rear windows are rolled down the car begins to shake violently to the point where the doors feel as if they are going to be pulled off. The first time this happened was about 1 mth after i bought the car while driving down the road, it took me by surprise and i was almost in an accident because of its severity. I have contacted dodge and nothing is being done…

Dodge durango 2004 st i just bought this model new off the floor and there is a manufacturer's defect on the design. If you are driving with the back window/windows down and the front up, there is a pulsating pressure from airflow that makes your eardrums feel like they are going to pop. Cannot drive this vehicle without affecting the health of your ears unless all windows are up, or the front windows are cracked…
