We purchased this vehicle from v & h Ford inc, marshfield, WI. In June 2003. The next day after I got it I started it & it started to squeal. My husband noticed transmission fluid leaking as well. We took it back to the dealer, we were told that the fan clutch & serpentine belt were shot, as well as a little leak in the transmission. They put some kind of sealer on it & continued to leak. (also during all of this time, our rpm's kept jumping. ) after the 3rd time, they said they did a factory authorized repair & put what was referred to as a "cock ring" in it to seal it. This seams to have taken care of this. Then when the truck was put in reverse it kept clunking, the u-joints went out next, then the latch broke on our glove box. Meanwhile the rpm's keep jumping, it has been back in the shop a total of probably 7 to 8 times so far. Our service engine light came on & flashed the code of fuel injector #8, when it was put through the diagnostic test, however we are learning this is still not the problem. Last weekend I was going to put the truck in the garage. I put in drive, and it took off on me without me even touching the gas. It has done this several times now while on the road. Now for the past week, when you leave a stop sign, it will shift once and stay at about 3000 - 3500 rpm and will not shift until you are ready to stop. When you try to stop the trottle sticks and the truck wants to go. We are at loss what to do. We have obviously purchased a lemon that it a hazard to be on the road. To trade it in or try to sell it outright seems to be a crime, because we know the horrible things wrong with it. I am certain that it is only a matter of time before my husband & I and our 2 children are seriously hurt or killed by the spuratic behavior of this dangerous vehicle. Please advise us what to do. Is there a lemon law or any thing that can help us. Meanwhile, we are stuck making payments on this .

The fan on my Durango came off the water pump and destroyed the fan shroud the radiator, the idler pulley the belt and the water pump shaft. I was traveling about 60 mph and the fan can off and it cost me $855. 31 to fix I was wondering if there was a way to recoup the cost for the repairs to my Durango.

Anti-lock brakes failed, causing vehicle to skid, and resulting in near miss on two occasions, clutch fan wasnt working since date of purchase engine sounded like jet engine getting ready for take off asked dealer if normal, said yes. Transfer case started growling after put in to four wheel drive for first time. Output bearings in transmission had to be replaced.

The cooling fan, when engaged, requires a significant portion of the available horse power. The cooling fan, in normal traffic conditions on cool summer day in colorado, runs excessively. The change in available horse power between fan-engaged and fan-disengaged situations is a safety hazard in that one does not know how fast the vehicle will accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed fully. The difference is significant and striking.

Vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly lost power at highway speeds. Dealer has replaced the clutch fan on the cooling system and the problem still exists. The manufacturer has been notified.
