general problems of the 2005 Dodge Durango

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.

2005 Dodge Durango - when a window or sun roof is opened independently it creates extreme "air buffeting" which has a direct effect on the occupants ears. This extreme pressure is painful and very distracting to the operator of the vehicle. Although briefly identified in the owners manual, with little concern, this is a serious safety concern. No mention of this "buffeting" issue at time of sale.

My 2005 Dodge Durango has excessive wind noise in the cabin when driving above approximately 45 miles per hour. The noise is particularly pronounced when driving in a moderate head or cross wind. At highway speeds in a moderate head or cross wind it is impossible to carry on a normal conversation within the cab of the vehicle due to the magnitude of the wind noise. The wind noise seems to be originating primarily from the front door seals. Both of the front doors can be seen flexing when driving with a head or cross wind. The noise can be lessened by pulling in with considerable force on the door while driving. This is the highest level of wind noise I have ever experienced in any vehicle I have driven and I have been driving for nearly 25 years. In the absence of a head or cross wind or at low speeds the vehicle has a very quite interior. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer twice without resolution to the problem as of yet.

The contact stated while driving at 65 mph she rolled down the rear windows and the vehicle shook violently. The vibration was so severe that there was a gap between the driver's side door and the frame. The dealer indicated the vibration was normal and referred to it as the tunnel effect. The manufacturer was in agreement with the dealer and offered no solution.

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango. The way the vehicle is engineered there are serious blind spots. This is observed when the drive looks to his right. The passenger side "b" pillar is in their direct view. The way the front cockpit is designed you can't see overhead street lights while stopped or approaching a stop bar. There are also blind spots to the passenger side and rear and driver's side rear of the driver.

Sun roof was leaking, the hoses were plugged up, vehicle brand new. Water leaked through the electrical component in roof, where digital information displayed. They order parts, had three of the tubes/hoses, but one on national backorder.

When consumer rolls the windows down in the 2005 Dodge Durango the whole vehicle shakes. Consumer states that when windows are down the passengers in the vehicle ears hurt. Service manager was able to replicate the problem but refused to fix the problem, saying it was an engineer problem and told consumer to just roll the front window down. Consumer feels this is a major safety problem and needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt, or in an accident.
