TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT WAS SITTING IDLE AT A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN A FIRE IGNITED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM THE HOOD. THE POLICE AND FIRE WERE DISPATCHED AND A FIRE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY FAULTY FUEL LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED AS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

ONE SEVERAL OCCASIONS (MORE THAN 3) THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IN THE ROADWAY WITH NO WARNING. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE IN A VAPOR LOCK OR THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT PUMPING CORRECTLY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE 2005 DURANGO FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE RELATED TO MY VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED THE VEHICLE STATED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND THESE VEHICLES WERE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM THROUGHOUT SEVERAL YEARS. *JB

I WAS ON A STOP LIGHT AT 8AM AND THE EXHAUST PIPE WAS BLOWING OUT WHITE SMOKE AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS ON. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND LATE THEY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTOR. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED AGAIN AND SAID ITS THE MODULE NOW. APRIL 6 THEY SAID THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, NOT TILL THE 19TH, IT WAS BACK ORDERED. I WENT THERE ON THE 20TH AND THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS TODAY AND THERE IS STILL NO NEWS YET. WHAT ELSE COULD I DO. CAN I JUST RETURN THE TRUCK TO THEM? WE HAD ALREADY PAID OFF THE TRUCK , BECAUSE WE TOOK A LOAN FROM THE HOUSE . WHAT CAN I DO?*AK

IN COOL WEATHER, I GET A THICK WHITE EMULSION BUILDUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE OIL FILLER CAP, TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DRIPPING DOWN INTO THE CRANKCASE AND GETTING SUCKED INTO THE PCV VALVE. THE LOCAL DEALER, NOT THE ONE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL AND TO JUST WIPE IT OUT. HAVING WORKED ON CARS FOR OVER 30 YEARS, I DO NOT SEE THIS AS NORMAL. IT SEEMS THAT EXCESIVE MOISTURE IS GETTING INTO THE CRANKCASE FROM SOMEWHERE. *AK
