I was driving in the pouring rain and all of a sudden my Durango started skipping and had a hesitation when giving the gas then stalled suddenly. Had to pump gas to restart and continued stalling as soon as it restarted. Per shop, 2004-2005 have defective cowl on windshield with huge gap. Water is just pouring onto motor causing misfire. This is a known issue and Dodge refuses to recall. I have contacted my local Dodge dealer who has ordered the part however part has been back ordered for over a month. This is a very dangerous situation. Not only is the vehicle stalling suddenly but once it stalls I lose my power steering and bearly make it to the side of the road. Since this started, I still feel a hesitation/skip in the motor when driving in dry condition. Something needs to be done here. Why isn't Dodge being held responsible for these dangerous issues?.
I went out on Sunday morning 8/21/2011 after having had my 2004 Dodge Durango 5. 7l hemi ,that I had parked since Friday. My husband turned the key and there was a click. Tried again and more clicks. Third try was a loud series of clanking and clicking. Had the vehicle hauled to the Dodge dealership in harrison ar. They informed me the motor had blown a rod. Repair would be $5000. 00. I had been by the dealership a month before and inquired about sudden engine dying while driving. My vehicle hass done this seversl times while at any speed with steering loss. Very scary. I have also fulfilled the earlier recall of having the rewiring of all the vehicle. Was very displeased with the service and times it malfunctioned after having the recall serviced. Please inform the proper personel and inform me of further action to take.
I have been on several site and people who own Dodge Durango are have the same problem. I had the car diagnosed they said it was the O2 sensor and the Durango has 4 so I had them replaced. The problem stopped for about 2 months then started again said its missing because I need a tune up got the tune up still doing it. Then its still bucking shutting off while your driving hesitating when you back up and pull off. So I had it diagnosed again said the coil need to be replaced. Replaced that check engine line still on still bucking shutting off when when your driving hesitating when you back up and pull off. Had it diagnosed again said its the pcm but it can mask itself as the map sensor, tps, crank or cam positioning sensor. Dodge knows this is a ongoing problem and refuses to do anything about because of there shotty workmanship no matter how many times you replace it you still end up have the same problem down the line and its very expensive. Its not right that Dodge or shall we same damien Chrysler want rememdy the problem. The crazy thing is the wiring harness is affected to and the parts alone for that is 1180 pcm 400 and thats used and you have to get it rebuilt which causing a problem because it can still be defective.
When I open a single window, the entire truck shakes. The front doors shake enough to see a gap. There is so much cabin pressure it feels as if your head is about to explode. It is impossible to ride with window down. The shaking has caused the front left door to have severe wind noise when windows are closed.
I was contacted in July by Chrysler who said that my 04 Dodge Durango slt had a "hot bake paint problem. " the female rep. Asked if I had noticed any paint fading or other problems. I told her "no, not yet. " I was instructed to bring the truck back to USA Dodge also known as mack Dodge and return it for another truck. The same lease agreement still in effect, the new truck would have to be msrp to msrp. I asked why they just would not repaint it and put us in a loaner, she said, "sir wouldn't you like a new truck !" I said, "yes !", already having about 5,000 miles I would be starting the mileage clock to zero. Then I asked how do I know that the new truck I pick out won't have the same problem. I was told they would run the VIN to make sure. Well I was not able to find another truck msrp to msrp even after checking a few dealerships. The truck gave us problems in the past, stall, no start, no stored codes etc. They even blamed it on the key fob once. After what's been on the news I am glad they bought me out of the truck. I pray to god that my wife & 3 kids never got hurt and I will pray that no one else does either.
