TAKATA RECALL I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL NOTICES IN THE MAIL THAT MY DODGE DURANGO HAS A RECALL FOR BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER ABOUT GETTING THE RECALL RECTIFIED 3 TIMES NOW BUT AM TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS ON HAND TO FIX. I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE CAN NOT BE FIXED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT DONE?
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. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, LOW SPEED, AND STATIONARY.
WHILE DRIVING, THE 4WD ENGAGES ON ITS OWN AND WILL NOT GET OUT OF POSITION. IT IS STUCK IN 4WD. "SVC 4WD" LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARS. TRIED DOING A BATTERY RESET AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT! *TR
TAKATA INFLATORS RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 NOW AN AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON THE DASH HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM SINCE INITIAL CONTACTS.
I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND MADE THE COMPLAINT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND TOOK IT TO MIDAS AND ANOTHER CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT AND WHEN I LOOKED AT IT ONLINE IT SAID IT WAS THE COWL SO I WENT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND TOLD THEM. THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY HAD TO PRINT OFF WHAT EVERYONE ONE HAD COMPLAINED, SO THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER UNDER THE HOOD WHICH WAS 40 DOLLARS NOT THAT COSTLY. BUT STILL WHEN IT RAINS, IT RUNS ROUGH AND LIKE IT GOING TO DIE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS GOING TO NEW YORK. VERY SCARY GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND IT STARTING RAINING HARD ALL OF THE SUDDEN GOING 70 , DROP TO 30. TRUCKS ON MY BUTT. NOT A GOOD THING. STILL EVERY TIME IT RAINS HARD IT STILL HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ALMOST 3 YRS. AGO FOR 10,000 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE WARRANTY AND IT'S ABOUT OVER AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. SO EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO A REPAIR PLACE I HAVE TO PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT'S A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. SO BASCIALLY I CANT DRIVE MY CAR IN HEAVY RAIN.
TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED THE CLOSES DEALER IN REGARD TO RECALL R25. THIS DEALER IS TWIN RIVERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 529 W COURT BEATRICE, NE 68310. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT GET TO THIS RECALL FOR 1 TO 1.5 YEARS. THIS DEALER IS APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES FROM ME. I CALLED A DEALER FURTHER AWAY, APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES. THEY TOLD ME I COULD SCHEDULE THE REPAIR FOR TOMORROW. I DID SCHEDULE THIS REPAIR FOR A WEEK AND HALF AWAY WITH THIS FURTHER DEALER. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE CLOSE DEAL FOR SOME REASON CAN NOT DO THE REPAIR IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME YET ONE OVER TWICE AS FAR AWAY CAN DO IT BASICALLY IMMEDIATELY.
TRUCK SVC 4WD LIGHT ON. TRUCK GOES INTO 4LO BY ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING. LATER WHEN I WENT OUT IN TRUCK SVC.4WD IS OFF I GET TO STOPLIGHT & I FEEL A LOUD THUD LIKE I'M BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. NOW SVC.4WD LIGHT STAYS ON & CAR IS HARD TO TURN. *TR

MOTOR: WHENEVER THERE IS HEAVY RAIN, MY CAR WILL STOP RUNNING. MOST RECENTLY WHEN I TURN ON THE AC OR HEATER THE CAR STALLS. I ALSO JUST RECENTLY HAD TO CHANGE OUT A MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSED ANOTHER SET OF PROBLEMS. I OWNED A DURANGO BEFORE THIS ONE AND LOVED IT. THIS ONE HAS CHANGED MY MIND AND I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER.

AWD TRUCK PUTS ITSELF INTO 4 WD FOR NO REASON. CAUSES VEHICLE TO BECOME HARD TO DRIVE. THIS IS REDICULOUS. TONS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS. DOES IT WHILE JUST IDLING IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH MY 4 KIDS IN THE CAR!
THE RH SIDE OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONTINUOUSLY HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK!
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.

THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND I UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS NOT VERY SAFE AND CAN ALSO CAUSE VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POWERTRAIN.
RECENTLY WHEN RAIN FALLS HEAVILY THE ENGINE STARTS SPUTTING & CUTS OFF THEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC & THEY PUT THE MACHINE ON IT. IT SHOWS NOTHING IS WRONG. PUT KEEPS DOING IT ONLY WHEN HEAVY RAINS FALLS. FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DODGE & FOUND OUT ITS THE COWLING. CHANGED THE COWLING BUT ITS STILL DOING IT. ITS A DODGE PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM & ITS COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY

THE FIRST CALL WAS IN FEB AFTER I HAD CALLED MONTHS PRIOR TO GET AN APPT THEY MADE ME AN APPT FOR MARCH THEN CALLED BEFORE IT TO TELL ME THEY HAD NO PARTS.
MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO SUFFERED THE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO HYDROLOCK FROM THE POOR COWL DESIGN.

I STARTED THE MOTOR IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING A LIGHT RAIN SHOWER ONLY TO HEAR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE, IT RAN FOR 5 SECONDS THEN DIED.

WHEN RAINING CAR STARTS SHAKING THEN SHUTS OFF MAKING IT HARD TO TURN WHEELS. WHEN MAKING SHARP RIGHT TURNS OR REVERSING FEELS AS IF IT IS STALLING OR SOMETHING IS LOCKING UP. AT ANY GIVEN TIME IT MAKES A SWISHING SOUND BUT MOSTLY WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING DOORS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES TO THIS LOOKED AT AND THE SHOP OWNER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

COWL SCREEN HAS WATER LEAKING ON THE ENGINE WHEN IT RAINS. IT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO DRIVE SHAKY AND THEN CUT OFF. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHY ISN'T THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. I GUESS IT WOULD TAKE FOR SOME PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THE WHEEL BEFORE IT GET FIXED. I ALWAYS THOUGHT DODGE WAS THE BEST VEHICLE BUT I AM NOW SECOND GUESSING MYSELF AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE VEHICLE AGAIN IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO BE RIDING WITH YOUR KIDS WHILE ITS RAINING AND TOUR VEHICLE CUTS OFF ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNER.IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS LIVES YOU WILL SERIOUSLY LIKEINTO GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. UNTIL THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND CHEVY VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY FRIENDS AND EVERYONE I KNOW.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
