The shift column in my 2002 Dodge Durango will not go into gear. I have to giggle it several times to go into drive or reverse.
While driving a burning odor could be detected from inside the cabin. So I pulled over to check the engine and and no immediate problem could be seen. After driving for two blocks I notice that the odor was getting stronger and smoke was coming from the engine. I pulled over once more open the hood. Upon further inspection I notice flame at the fire wall within seconds the whole engine covered in flames.
Recall campaign' issued for 2002 Dodge Durango, parts not available.
Chrysler used inferior steel in the front brake rotors on 2002 Dodge Durangos causing premature failure and a serious safety hazard. I have the brake rotors for proof. The steel flakes off leaving large pits and causes severe braking problems.
I purchased a 2002 Dodge Durango slt in may of 2002. When I purchased it I asked if it has a recycle air option and was told it did, and was showed what it was. It worked fine in hot or warm weather, but does not work when it is very cold. That feature is very important to me, and feel that they are misleading customers when they say it has recycle air, but don't then tell you that it doesn't work when the weather is cold. Is there anything that I can do about this. I'm stuck buying this car for 6 more years. I probably would not have purchased the vehicle, had I known the recycle air did not work all the time. I previously had a Honda and a Mitsubishi that worked just fine in any kind of weather. I should have been told that, "it does not work when it is cold!".
