Power Window Problems of Dodge Durango - part 1

Both front electric windows in our 2003 Dodge Durango stopped working. As soon as I paid to have one window replaced; the other window failed. The passenger front window came down as I was driving over a bridge in a rainstorm. The rain pelted my children who were riding in their carseats in the next row of seats. As soon as I got off the bridge, I turned onto an exit and waited out the rain at a gas station. I still have not replaced the window. I have it braced up with a rubber screw driver; at least it is up now.

I purchased my 2002 Durango in August 2007 with under 74k miles on it. About 6 months later, my husband and I found that the passenger front window would not respond to the master control or the passenger's control. The dealer couldn't get it to happen again. We worried about it at the time, having newly moved to oregon where winters are usually very rainy. Thankfully, we haven't had any further trouble.

On 4/2/07, I had the driver side window regulator replaced. It broke while driving down the road, not in use at the time. On 4/28/07 it was replaced again. On 7/7/07 it was replaced again. On 7/23/07 it was replaced again. On 8/20/07 it broke again. This is an oem part, not an after market. I've spoken with several mechanics who said this is definitely a Dodge issue. What do I do?.

In 2. 5 years, I have put in 5 window regulators using original Dodge parts in my 2003 Dodge Durango. A 6th one broke 10/13/09. This part is defective in that it breaks irregardless of usage, today a rear window broke which has maybe been used a dozen times since I purchased the vehicle. The driver's window was replaced three times within 60 days, because the brand new parts broke. Dodge is well aware of this issue, because of the constant back order within their parts department and frequent consumer complaints well documented on the internet. Their paraphrased response to my complaint was too bad it's out of warranty.

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Durango. While driving 55 mph, the contact attempted raise the front driver side window, but it jammed and fell back into the door. The window would not function afterwards. The same failure occurred on the front passenger side window and two rear windows. The manufacturer stated that this was a common failure. They further stated that the regulator needed to be replaced at the contact's expense. The contact placed screwdrivers in the windows to hold them up, and the vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000 and current mileage was 108,000. Updated 06/09/08.

Window regulator that controls windows has had 8 failures and replacements in as many years with minimal usage. I have no children and live in arizona so windows are in up position 80% of the time. No reason for failures other than defective placement and parts as stated by Dodge service advisor.

My 2002 Dodge Durango purchase new in Feb. 2002, and had driven for about 3 1/2 years the passenger windows fail to work. The master control is the only way that I can open the windows. Now on occasion the window will intermittently open and close using the individual switches but it is very seldom have talked to several other owners of these Durangos and they have been having the same problem, would like to know if this is a manufacture defect or is it possible that just suddenly all my passenger window broke at the same time. Other than that I have been very satisfied with the service of the vehicle. I have had it since I purchased it in 2002 and it has only 35,000 miles on it. It doesn't seem that a vehicle with that little use would have a problem of this sort. Thanks,diane.

Window regulators on 3 doors have failed since stated date. Normal shutting of doors causes a plastic piece were the cables meet to fail. This plastic piece is not a stand alone part. Compete regulator must be purchased at $100+.

Contact owned a 2005, Dodge, Durango. While driving over 40 mph with the back windows down, the doors and the windows shook violently. Had to put the back windows up to solve the problem. Contact had four people from the dealership drive the vehicle, and they noticed the same thing. Dealership stated that they were the first one to bring this problem to their attention. The Chrysler representative stated that this vehicle had same problem. The only solution was to crack the front windows.

Window motors have been replaced in three out of four windows. . . And I am the only driver/operator! now the left rear window is not working again and of course the vehicle is out of warranty. So it will cost me another couple of hundred dollars for a window that has never been used!.

Consumer stated the window motor on the passenger side has gone out. The window will not go up or down. She stated she could hear the motor making a noise, but nothing happened. This started last week some time. She took the vehicle to the dealer for this problem and was told that they have been having a lot of problems with the window motors on these vehicles.

While opening the rear and frontal windows consumer heard a loud squeaking noise. This caused a distraction to the driver. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection numerous times, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem. Consumer continues to hear a horrible whistle sound when the windows are down.

For the (3) third time since we purchased this vehicle in 05/2002, the window regulator has failed. The window regulator is a big part that fits inside the door and makes the window go up and down. This is the third occasion when it has broken causing the window to slide down into the door. It costs approx. $250-$300 to get this repaired every time. We are not doing anything extraordinary to warrant this kind of defect in this part. Please investigate this problem ASAP!!!.

Driver's side automatic window is stuck ini the down position. The window will not go back up at all and electronic window mechanicism, is not making any sound of working. Car is parked in a garage, to prevent moisture damage, to inside of vehicle.

Window regulator, plastic piece that allows the window to move up and down, has broken twice within the last year.

While driving at 45 mph or more with the rear door windows down consumer's ears popped, making it difficult to focus on the road. Consumer stated that vehicle had a design flaw which caused the consumer to feel sick when the rear windows were down.

Two power windows failed. One motor burned out or short in right side rear passenger side. Driver door window stuck in cold weather, all plastic components broke and laying in the bottom of the window. This was not a forced lowering of the window.

1998 Dodge Durango slt: power windows, especially on right side of vehicle are periodically failing to open. All 4 regulators replaced once. Passenger front motor and regulator replaced twice and now both windows on passenger side are failed. Are there any bulletins to direct dealer repair of this potentially dangerous condition?.

About 35,000 miles I had the adjusters repaired on the passenger front of vehicle. Around 60,000 miles the adjusters failed and the seat will jerk forward about an inch while doing any acceleration, then slide back about an inch. Somewhere around 70,000 miles the front drivers seat started rocking back and forth, like it was not bolted to the floor boards properly. I have power seats. I took my Durango in to have it looked at, at the dealership. I was told that they have seen a couple of vehicles with this same problem recently, and I was lucky mine would only cost 1,300 dollars to repair. Other bigger vehicles cost more. Is there a recall on this problem, and why is it happening so often in my vehicle, when it should not happen at all. Why so much money? why is a safety factor not part of warranty. I have always had power seats, this is the first time they ever failed. Not once, but twice.

Windows cables keep breaking in Dodge, 2001 Durango. Have been with Dodge, and the warranty covered the first incident. The cable broke again, and the warranty expired. Dodge will not pay to have the windows fixed. No prior warning to cable breakage.

Motors on the windows have failed three times in four years on two rear windows with very little use.

During the life of my Dodge Durango, I have had to have seven electric window motors replaced.

Beginning 2002 driver's side power window would never work properly. Constantly getting stuck in the down position. I had it fixed in 2003. Now the front passenger side power window is doing the same thing. Is this something being investigated? I know of two other people that have the same problem with their Durango.

Three of the power windows failed prematurely. The consumer requested these units be replaced under warranty but was denied.

3 of 4 power windows failed to work within 2 years of purchase. Nothing was done to correct this, when addressed to the dealership I was told the total price of parts and labor (full price).

The left front power window has failed 4 times, the right front window has failed 2 times and each of the back windows have failed once. The first time the window failed was 3 months after vehicle purchase. Since then the vehicle has been in for window repair at 6 months after purchase, 14 months after purchase and now with the latest trip 22 months after purchase. At the last visit the dealer required us to pay $175 for the repair of all four windows. Although our vehicle is over its milage for warranty I believe in a case such as this where there is an obvious problem with a particular part we should have had this repair done free of charge regardless of warranty. In your opinion, do I have any grounds for this complaint. Thank you for your time. Angela pruitt.

Power windows will not go down. Wires were burned. Dealer was ordering a wire assembly. Dealer has replaced motor 3 times.

While trying to roll window down windows would not move. Passenger's side first, then driver's side and rear passenger's side window. No noises or sounds when trying to roll windows down. Dealer said it was window regulators.

Both windows on left side of car will not work. . . Driver window is going out.

While parked in parking lot, it was brought to my attention that my liftgate window had shattered. After closer investigation it was reasonably concluded tht the glass must had been defected. Because for it to just spontaneously shatter like that was odd.

Passenger side power window failed with window in down position.

3 of the 4 power windows have failed to operate in less than one year of purchase of vehicle.

Power window failed, dealer would not fix problem due a recall that will be issued in the future, window works fine for now. No recall issued yet.

Power windows not operational on 1999 Dodge Durango. . Why no recall?.

Driver side window switch failed. Yh.
