The lebra protection cover negates the safety features on Durangos with front radar. The radar protects the vehicle for collision avoidance, auto speed reduction, lane departure, and other safety features. There is a cutout in the lebra cover which should permit the radar to function correctly but it does not. My vehicle displays a red light and beeps constantly with the cover installed. Without the cover there are no issues. I contacted Dodge connect and they stated that this is a know problem with front end covers with radar safety options. They accessed my vehicle and checked the alignment etc. Which was correct. They then led me thru resetting the system to be sure that there was no “hard” error. There were no hard errors and nothing they did fixed the issue. They sent me the following which is printed on the Dodge Durango web site. >>>>do not attach or install any accessories near the sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket grilles. Doing so will cause an acc system failure or malfunction. Notice is states near! I sent all the photos requested. They are: a picture of the cover installed, a picture of the front of the radar with the cover on, a picture of the malfunction caused by the cover and a video illustrating the malfunctioning safety issues caused, the serial number of the lebra, two pictures of the vehicle without the cover installed. These photos can be expanded for a closeup view. I have sent all information and pictures requested by cover craft. I have contacted cover craft customer service multiple times already and I feel as though I am getting the run-around or simply being ignored. No after market product should ever negate the factory installed safety features of a vehicle thus putting the driver and occupants in danger. Please modify your web site to warn buyers of this issue.
My vehicle is only one month old. Bought brand new from the dealership. While I was driving down the road my sunroof spontaneity exploded. Nothing hit the sunroof, there was not prior crack or chip in it. I had the window closed but the cover open. It sounded like an explosion and then glass just rained down on top of me. Dealership is refusing to cover cost after spending almost $60,000 with them one month ago.
1) major transmission failure, fluid leakage, and visible undercarriage corrosion on a newly leased car with under 3k miles on it. Additional: losing vehicle function. Car would not shift into gear and would not move. Car is currently at the dealership in which it was leased. 2) yes, huge safety concern. Losing vehicle function while traveling on a bridge—with limited ability to safely stop posed a serious risk to our safety and to others on the road. 3) yes, problem has been confirmed by dealer. 4) the vehicle has not been inspected at this time by anyone other than the dealership in which it was leased. 5)while accelerating at approximately 30–35 mph, the vehicle began emitting a high-pitched whining noise, similar to sound of a remote-control toy car. The vehicle then started jerking back and forth during acceleration. Shortly after, the “check engine” light illuminated. We activated our hazard lights, reduced speed to approximately 10-20 mph, exited the bridge, and pulled into an emergency stopping area. There was no prior warning that there was a problem.
