Battery problems of the 2005 Dodge Durango

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. While driving approximately 65 mph the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact disconnected and reconnected the battery in order to restart the vehicle. The failure occurs constantly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic. The mechanic was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage 50,000. Da.

Alarm/key fob fails to activate due to defect in soldering of battery holder to circuit board. Found many people with the same problem on carcomplaints. Com. The battery holder in 2004-2006 Dodge keys comes apart from the circuit board, making the key not work, and stranding you where ever you happen to be. When you open the key, you see the battery holder out of where it was attached to the 'motherboard', and can push it back in and make the key work, but it's only a temp fix as it keeps coming apart.

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango limited w/ hemi. We purchased this vehicle used w/ 26,000 miles on it a year and 4 months ago. I have experienced several problems w/ it: broken remote keys-the remote locking devices on both keys are now dysfunctional due to the solder that holds the battery in place breaking. I cannot lock/unlock vehicle from outside and when it is locked from inside prior to exiting, upon re-entry, the alarm sounds until key is put into ignition and vehicle is started. The amount of money to replace these keys is outrageous!!!! windows shaking while rolled down-anytime any of the windows are rolled down they shake violently w/ in their casing. There is also quite a bit of wind noise heard when windows are rolled up completely. Had dealership look at it but they could not determine there was a problem. Navigation system-the main knob has become almost dysfunctional. It seems that it is sticking out farther than it once had. With out use of this knob, the entire nav system is virtually unusable. Seatbelt cover-drivers side plastic dust cover where seatbelt goes into seat came off and the plastic around it has a crack in it. There is quite alot of dust building up inside the seatbelt mechanism. Liftgate screws falling out-this has happened a dozen times regardless of how many times they are tightened. It is the screws that hold the plastic on the inside of the liftgate-where the closing handles are located. Broken pin on accelerator pedal-dealer calling this a "push nut pin" and it is what attaches the accelerator to the arm. Dealership certain it is a part malfunction however Chrysler refusing to repair. Underside steering wheel radio control-the left button that changes the pre-set radio stations as well as which disk is playing in the cd changer is sticking. If you just barely touch it the stations/cd's change continuously. In order to get it to stop, you must depress it very hard while moving it back and forth.

Bought car in 2007 had to replace one key because of electronics at 180 dollars each, 2009 changed car battery had to reset keys at 80 dollars, 2011 keys need replaced again at 130 dollars each. Bad design so they can keep fleasing you for money. Also had fuel tank replaced, brake lines rubbed together causing hole in line and loss of brakes, dust cover on drivers seat belt broke off, screws in back tail gate keep loosening and falling out.

The complaint I have is about the wireless remote key for the 2005 Dodge Durango. The remote stopped working after a short period of time. I notified the dealer and I was advised I needed to buy a new key. I opened the battery compartment and noticed one of the contacts from the battery to the actual circuit board had broken off. I fixed that problem by using adhesive buy now the key is not programmed. Dealership wants to charge to solve that. I did a little research and found out I am not the only one with the problem. There is a lot of people that had the same issue. That is why I believe the wireless remote keys are defective and something must be done about it. Thank you. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
