    Our 2006 dodge durango 4x4 slt is in the service dept for the 2nd time in two weeks for a transmission problem. I am told the "transmission solenoid" and "transmission filters" need to be replaced. Two weeks ago, a "transmission control switch" needed to be replaced. In both instances, the vehicle was traveling on interstate when the durango's "transmission check light" came on. Shortly later, the vehicle began to…

    2006 dodge durango shifts out of gear without key installed in ignition. My three year old son climbed up into the driver seat and shifted the vehicle into neutral without a key, and rolled down a hill with just him in the car and crashed into a tree. No one was seriously hurt but the circumstances could have been alot worse. There is a recall out there for this year, make , and model durango but my vin number was…

    With our 2006 dodge durango, there is a shake of the transmission between 40-50 miles an hour.

The truck continues to have the same shaking so we took it to another chrysler dealership. With this dealership, they went on…

    Automatic Transmission

    This is my second complaint. My 2006 durango seems to not want to change gears. It seems to do it more frequently when the air is on. However, it does it way too often when the air isn't on. It seems like a big jerk, and it takes it a minute to get into the gear. Especially when i try to speed up. It happens on short trips as well as on the interstate. It makes me feel like the transmission is about to fall out. I…
