IN JUNE OF 2007, THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL).

2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINE. HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON 4 OCCASIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OCCASIONS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND TURNING AND TWO WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE EVENT AND AS A PRECAUTION REPLACED THE EGR VALVE. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE STALLED 2 MORE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. TRUCK IS BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP AND ONCE AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER LOADING OUR BOAT AT A RESERVOIR AND PREPPING THE BOAT ON THE TRAILER, I STARTED THE DURANGO TO LEAVE THE LAKE, AND THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING. A GUY FROM THE MARINA CAME BY AND SAID "IT'S KNOCKING ISN'T IT, THAT IS THE THIRD DODGE THIS SUMMER. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND WAITING A WEEK FOR A DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN EVACUATION CANISTER MOUNTED ON THE FRAME RAIL ABOUT MID-VEHICLE. IF THE VENT TO THIS CANISTER GETS IN THE WATER IT WILL SUCK WATER INTO THE INTAKE OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAD HYDRO-LOCKED AND WAS DESTROYED. I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ONLY HAD 37,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, CHRYSLER WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED SUBMERGED.6 WEEKS AND $7000.00 IN REPAIRS AND RENTAL CAR FEES, WE HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN OUR VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT GETTING IN WATER UP TO THE HUBS OF THE REAR WHEELS, I WOULD BE AT RISK OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM NOT SURE THAT IT WAS EVEN IN THAT DEEP WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. I AM GOING TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DEALER TOLD HER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CD PLAYER REPLACEMENT. *KB THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPROGRAM WAS NOT PROPERLY DONE.

THERE IS A VISUAL BLIND SPOT AT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON BOTH SIDES. VERY DANGEROUS!!!! THE MOLDING IS TOO WIDE. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY NOT TO HIT PEOPLE DRIVING OR WALKING. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY...DODGE HAS A HUGE PROBLEM HERE!! *TR

2004 DURANGO LIMITED STALLED WHILE BRAKING TWICE. STALLED ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT. HAS THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE WITH 50K MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT.

MY DODGE DURANGO 2004 HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP (DEALER) FOR OVER A MONTH DUE TO OVER HEATING. OVER THE COURSE OF THIS TIME, THE THERMOSTAT, RELAYS, WATER PUMP, AND FAN CLUTCH WERE CHANGED. THE RADIATOR FLUSHED. THE DEALER NOW BELIEVES ITS THE HEAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS GONE ON. WORST YET, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE TRYING TO TURN AT A LOW SPEED. THIS WORRIES ME SINCE I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME. I WANT THE CAR OUT OF THE SHOP BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I NO LONGER FEEL CONFIDENT TO GO ANYWHERE PARTICULARLY LONG DISTANCES WITH IT.

OUR 2004 DODGE DURANGO WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY IN PARK, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, RADIO ON, BOTH FRONT DOORS OPEN AND KEYS STILL IN THE IGNITION.

MY WIFE HOPPED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO TURN THE RADIO DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD WHILE IN "PARK". MY WIFE WAS KNOCKED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS HURT BADLY ON HER LEG AND IT RAN INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR THEN ROLLED INTO THE STREET. I RAN AFTER THE TRUCK TO STOP IT FROM GOING ANY FURTHER, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THEN LOOKED AT THE SHIFT HANDLE AND IT WAS STILL IN "PARK". *TR

I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND ASKED FOR A RENTAL UNTIL THE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR IS RESOLVED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAD TO APPROVE THE RENTAL, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE RENTAL FEES MYSELF. THE DEALERSHIP CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY VEHICLE, AND RETURNED IT TO ME AS DRIVABLE, AND THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR.

ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 14, 2007, I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL ON MY DODGE DURANGO 2004 BEGAN TO SMOKE. IT WAS A MATTER OF SECONDS BEFORE THE SMOKE TURNED BLACK AND THICK. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED 911. IT WAS A MATTER OF SECONDS BEFORE FLAMES CAME BLASTING OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL PANEL OF MY VEHICLE. THE FIRE SPREAD VERY QUICKLY THROUGH THE PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY, A GENTLEMAN THAT HAPPENED TO LIVE NEAR BY, BROUGHT OUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER MANAGING TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES AS THE POLICE GOT THERE, FOLLOWED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE POLICE THEN DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PROCEEDED TO HOSE DOWN THE ENTIRE CAR AS A PRECAUTION SINCE THE CAR STILL WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A RECENT RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, UNTIL TODAY, APRIL 22, 2007 I STILL HAVEN'T GOT A LETTER OF NOTIFICATION FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. EVEN WORSE, THEY HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE COURTESY TO RETURN MY NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS. I INITIALLY FILED THE COMPLAIN WITH THEM ON APRIL 16, 2007. ITS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD. ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER, MY CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS, WHICH IT MEANS THAT I NOT ONLY NEED TO COME UP WITH A DOWN PAYMENT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD AT THE MOMENT, BUT THAT I ALSO LOST FAITH IN THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. I REFUSE TO RISK MY

CONSUMER STATES WENT ONLINE AND SAW A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO TAKE MY HUSBAND TO WORK THE RADIO DID NOT HAVE ANY SOUND, BUT THE POWER WAS ON. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST MONTH, AND IT WAS! SOON AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND MANY OTHER LIGHTS ON THE PANEL. THE GAUGES STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN. AFTER I HEARD OF THE RECALL WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THIS WAS FIXED, OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT. I AGREE WITH COMPLAINT# 10060005, I FEEL WATER IS POSSIBLY GETTING INTO PLACES IT SHOULD NOT BE, THE DEALER HAD ALREADY RESEALED THE TOP OF MY TRUCK BECAUSE MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS LEAKING AND WATER WAS DRIPPING FROM MY HEADLINER!, NOT LONG AGO AFTER IT RAINED WATER WAS COMING IN NEAR THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WE CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN, AND THEY TOLD US THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME! (I HAVE PICTURES OF THE WATER DRIPPING IN MY TRUCK!) I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE CONTROL PANEL AS I WAS DRIVING, WITH THE GAUGES JUMPING AND LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF! I WOULD LOVE FOR DODGE TO SEE THE VIDEO, AND EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE. I AM DRIVING MY MOTHER'S TOYOTA RIGHT NOW!! *AK

CHECK ENGINE AND AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER IT' HAS BEEN SERVICED. ON 2 APRIL 2007 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND LOST ITS POWER AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WOULD IDLE, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. WE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OF AT LEAST TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD MOVE WHEN THE GAS WAS DEPRESSED. ADDITIONALLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT YOU COULD TELL THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STRAINING TO DRIVE, AND YOU COULD ALSO HEAR IT WHILE DRIVING AND GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT KEPT LOSING POWER AS WELL. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 3 DAYS, AND I STILL CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER ON WHAT IT IS THAT'S WRONG WITH VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION, BUT THIS DOES ME NO GOOD BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THEY HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED ,AND THESE ARE THE ONLY PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE I' BOUGHT IT. THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS AT ONLY A LITTLE OVER 66,000 MILES. WHAT CAN THE MANUFACTURER DO TO HELP WITH MY SITUATION?*AK

ONCE THIS HAPPENED THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING CRAZY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON. THE SWITCH WAS NOT ON AND THERE WERE NO LIGHTS IN THE DASH. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE DASH HAD BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM IT. WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED WITH FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE AND RESCUE GOT THERE THE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY HAD SLOWED CONSIDERABLY AND THE SMOKE WAS SO BAD YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. *JB

ON SEVERAL INSTANCES BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER OF 2006 THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD EITHER STAY ON, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL. SOMETIMES, UPON ENTERING THE CAR, WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TWENTY MINUTES OR MORE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT. A FEW INSTANCES, THE LIGHTS WOULD NEVER GO OUT AND RAN THE BATTERY DOWN. EVENTUALLY, NO LIGHTS AT ALL WOULD COME ON AND AT ONE POINT YOU COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING, BUT NEVER SEE IT. WHEN APPROACHING THE JEFF WYLER DODGE, AND HAVING OUR CAR SERVICED TODAY (ON 3-14-07), THEY HAD US PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER (SP?) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WAS CLOSE TO $500.00. DUE TO THE PRICE OF THE PART, WE DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THEM REPLACE IT RIGHT AWAY.

AFTER CALLING THE MAIN COMPLAINT LINE SEVERAL TIMES THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER IN BROOKLYN.(BAY RIDGE) THE SERVICE MANAGER DAN WORKED WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS TO FINALLY IDENTIFY THAT THE ORIGINAL TIME THE TRUCK DIED AND WAS FIXED THEY REPLACED THE WRONG PART. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN BROOKLYN FIXED THE TRUCK AND I DO NOT HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS MOST OF THE TIME NOW BUT I WAS WITHOUT THE TRUCK FOR OVER 6 WEEKS OVER THE DURATION OF THE LEASE SO FAR. THERE CONTINUES TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO LEAVE THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS. *JB

ON MARCH 1ST, 2007 WE NOTICED THAT ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN OUR 2004 DURANGO WOULD NOT TURN OFF. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T TAKE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE 2ND. DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, AND RE-CONNECTED IT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE 2ND. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE 6TH. MY WIFE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 6, 2007 TO FIND OUT IF THEY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG, BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T ANSWER THEIR PHONES. WHEN SHE GOT THERE SHE LEARNED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OVER NIGHT. IT WAS EXPECTED THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD CAUSED THE FIRE. I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS, BUT KNOW THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL THE REPORTS ABOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME AT ALL. I AM JUST GLAD THIS HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND NOT AT MY HOME. OR EVEN WORSE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. DODGE NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NOTIFY PEOPLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *JB

ON MARCH 2, 2007 I GOT IN MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (HEMI) TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I NOTICED MY RADIO HAD NO SOUND, THE POWER CAME ON, BUT NO SOUND AT ALL WAS HEARD. AFTER I DROVE ABOUT 1/2 OF A MILE THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATIC, JUMPING UP AND DOWN, THE RADIO CAME BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THE OVERHEAD TEMP CONTROL WAS JUMPING FROM 54 DEGREES TO NEGATIVE 40!. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AS WELL AS THE ETC LIGHT. AFTER DROPPING MY KIDS AT SCHOOL, I HAVE NOT DROVE THIS TRUCK, WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AFTER READING THAT FIRES HAVE STARTED IN MANY OTHER 2004 DURANGO'S, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED A RECALL, WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? I CAN NOT PUT MY KIDS IN THIS TRUCK. IN OCTOBER 2006 MY TRUCK WAS LEAKING FROM ABOVE MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR (34713 MILES), WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO RE-SEAL SEAMS ABOVE MY DOOR AS WELL AS OTHER POSSIBLE AREAS WATER COULD BE GETTING IN, ONE WEEK LATER MY TRUCK STARTED STALLING AT STOP SIGNS, MY HUSBAND TOOK IT DO THE DEALER AGAIN (35050 MILES) THE DEALER SCHAEFER AND STROHMINGER DODGE WHITEMARSH OF COURSE TELLS US THAT IT IS LACK OF MAINTENANCE (NOT TRUE) AND WE NEED THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED ($169.00 AND A TUNE UP $182.00) YET JUST THE WEEK BEFORE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS THERE THEY DID THE MULTI-POINT INSPECTION REPORT AND CHECKED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THE ISSUE WITH THE LEAK ABOVE MY DOOR WAS SENT OUT AS A CU
