Water got into cylinder and bent rod. My understanding is this is a common issue with the 2004 Durango hemi due to design issue of water draining around the engine. Required rebuild or new engine. Unacceptable for a well maintained engine to have this occur, much less, repeatedly occur for many vehicles.

My truck was parked in the driveway, it was raining and then the lights started flickering without the keys being in the ignition. I tried to move the truck to the inside of the garage and the smoke came out of the hood and from under the dash. I turned the truck off and the engine remained running, we had to call the fire department because it was smoking and the keys were off. The fire department came and removed the battery and said it may be a short when it rained. The truck is in the garage I cant drive it when it rains because water goes in to the truck from the front I can actually see water leaking into the floor. I owned the truck for 3 years and never had this problem until it reached 100,000 miles.
Vehicle was running fine until storm came through dumping continuous rain on vehicle. I went to move the vehicle later that day and noticed standing water on drivers side floorboard/carpet. It was soaked! I went to start the engine it didn't respond initially so I turned ignition backwards (off direction) and tried to restart. At that moment it started very rough and made a loud noise from the engine and continually does so whenever it is started now. I can't and don't drive it. Looking closer under the hood apparently water is getting inside the engine compartment when it rains. The black material lining under the hood was soaked also. On the engine there were water droplets and most components of the engine had dried water marks/streaks throughout the compartment.
Noticed over the past few years water when it rains that it is accumulating on top of the engine. Noticed the engine felt like it had a miss fire on a cylinder. Seal from windshield cowl is no longer making a positive seal and water is dripping down onto the top of the engine and also into the spark plugs. Using you tube there have been numerous complaints of this issue which in turn has resulted in what is called hyro-loc of the engine which is causing push rods to break and causing the engine to completely fail, as in my case pushing a rod thru the block of the engine spilling oil out on to the street. Shutting down the engine loosing all power to steer and control vehicle. Luckily I was not on a main highway traveling at 60mph as this could have been as disastrous accident. There should be some type of recall on the water problem and this engine catastrophe resulting form this problem, as of today Dodge/Chrysler has no known issue of this sort, which is hard to believe. Please notify me of any information regarding these issues and any possible class action suits that may be pending.
I have a Dodge Durango 2007. The front passenger and driver side doors swing back when you open the doors. My fiance was getting out of the truck and the door slammed back closed on his middle three fingers piercing his middle finger cause him to get and stitch on the front side and the back side of his finger. I was getting out of the driver side and the door swung back close on my ankle! I have children and I am fearful they will get hurt.

Driving down the road at normal highway speeds, if the rear windows are rolled down the car begins to shake violently to the point where the doors feel as if they are going to be pulled off. The first time this happened was about 1 mth after I bought the car while driving down the road, it took me by surprise and I was almost in an accident because of its severity. I have contacted Dodge and nothing is being done about it.
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.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, she noticed a burning odor and smoke started pouring into the vehicle. She mentioned that the failure happened as a result of the rain leaking into the computer panel and wires. The contact stated that before the failure occurred, the vehicle was inspected for recall 07v092000 (electrical system: instrument panel) and the mechanic stated that it was not necessary to applied the remedy since it did not qualify. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the vehicle needed new spark plugs. The remedy did not repair the failure and the contact had to take the vehicle back to dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. A reservoir was installed which repaired the failure temporarily. The failure occurred again due to water leaking into the hood and damaging a coil located near the battery. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and current mileage was 140,000.
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Durango. The contact states that there is a blind spot on the driver's side and passenger side of the vehicle. She noticed the blind spot a couple of months ago when she almost hit another vehicle. Also, the contact almost hit someone crossing in a cross walk because she could not see the person. The consumer did not notice this when she first purchased the vehicle. The consumer has not contacted the dealership or the manufacturer of the vehicle.
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.
Electrical problem developed due to front windshield not being installed properly at time of manufacturing.
When the rear power windows are down the wind is so loud that it irritates the occupant's ear. The vehicle also vibrates when rear windows are down.
Dodge Durango 2004 st I just bought this model new off the floor and there is a manufacturer's defect on the design. If you are driving with the back window/windows down and the front up, there is a pulsating pressure from airflow that makes your eardrums feel like they are going to pop. Cannot drive this vehicle without affecting the health of your ears unless all windows are up, or the front windows are cracked when the back windows are down.
