We own a 2006 Dodge Durango and over the summer while driving my radio started and stopped working, my navigation system starting blinking, and then finally my car stopped working altogether. We found both of the relays to the electrical system on our Durango full of water but when I called the dealership they denied ever hearing of this issue and started that there was no warranty. We shook out the relays, left them unplugged overnight, and used a hair dryer to dry any remaining moisture. As long as I keep my vehicle parked in the garage and unplug the relay after we wash the car we don't have any problems. However, the air bag light was the only warning light that we could not get to go out. Over the weekend I heard on headline news that the 2008 Dodge caravans are being recalled for moisture getting into the airbags. I called and explained my issue with our 2006 Dodge Durango and they told me that it was not under recall. Interesting to note is that the dealership inquires about the mileage on your vehicle. I was told by their representative that low mileage vehicles can have a chance at "goodwill" repairs but not high mileage vehicles. I'm not sure if 75,000 miles is considered low or high but what is at issue is that Dodge knows that there is an issue but they are not correcting it on all of the defective vehicles only on their 2008s.

Within one year of purchasing the vehicle, engine cluster lights started coming on. Air bag warning, abs, traction control, check engine and brake warning lights as well as the speedometer failing to work. We have had the vehicle in over 12 times in the past 5 years for this recurring problem. The vehicle is now out of warranty but the problem is still happening. I have been told by a non Chrysler mechanic that the harness that goes to the abs module has a connector near the wheel well. The dealership has tried on many occasions to seal this connector. I understand later models have a corrected harness. The mechanic told me the connector was repaired previously by splicing the wires of the harness near the connector. This was not a factory authorized repair. The connector and the abs module are once again fried and melted. The vehicle has never had abs, traction control or air bags working for more than a month after each repair attempt. Since the warranty expired on the vehicle, I have had it in one time for a repeated attempt to fix it. I had a battle trying to get the work done as a warranty issue. They charged me over $300 to trace the problem which it had been in for 11 times earlier. I am through trying to get this dealership to repair the problem. My wife is currently driving a car without abs, traction control or air bags.

The vehicle's radio stopped working. When the consumer tried to change lanes, he noticed a delayed reaction from the time he pressed the accelerator to the response of the vehicle. On another occasion, the check engine light illuminated and the transmission down shifted for a few seconds. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained all the problems he had experienced and after a diagnostics test was done, the dealer stated the computer displayed a code and they did not know what it was so they erased it. One month later, the consumer experienced the same problem with the radio and when he attempted to place the vehicle in park, the gear shifter did not go into the park position it stayed in the reverse position. The vehicle went back to the dealer and it was discovered that 2 bolts and a bracket were missing from the transmission shifter. The consumer stated the cruise control did not and a new problem had surfaced. There was a warning light on the dashboard that read pass air bag off.

Air bag warning lights came on and stayed on because of the defect described in the clocksrping material recall 01v153000. Bu tthis vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
