I currently own a 2003 Dodge Durango. Since I have purchased it in February 2003 it has been in the shop several times. The rotors have been replace twice, the rear end twice and now the transmission slips into neutral while driving. This can be very dangerous. I owned a 1999 Durango and had nothing but problems with it. The steering column had to be replaced a few times and the ball joints. The transmission also had done the same thing. Dodge could never find anything wrong with that Durango and cannot find anything wrong with this transmission. The last Durango the transmission slipped into neutral while crossing over lanes with oncoming traffic coming right at me. Again, the dealer could find nothing wrong with it. Same with this one. I am requesting that daimler-Chrysler and williamsburg Dodge refund my money and take the truck back. They recently had my Durango for 15 days. The first 10 days the district manager, james brown, and shane lockhart, dealers tech manager, argued that my camper weighed too much. I gave them evidence that my camper only weighed 4295 lbs. Daimler-Chrysler sells the Durango boasting it can tow 7400 lbs. After I filed a complaint with daimler-Chrysler, james brown said he made a mistake on the weight. Now, they want to inspect my camper for faulty breaks. They are saying somehow it is causing stress on the Durango. Give me a break!!! I have had my camper inspected. Surprisingly, the place where I have gone says they get this a lot from Dodge owners. Do we see a pattern? they also get a lot of requests for Dodge owners to have transmission coolants put on their Dodges. What does this tell us? consumeraffairs. Com tells a lot about Dodge. We need something to be done with daimler-Chrysler.
