2004 Dodge Durango Other Problems

When you tried to trade in your 2004 Dodge Durango at a dealership in July 2020, a CARFAX report indicated a possible odometer rollback — meaning the mileage may have been rolled back when you originally purchased the vehicle in 2013. The original dealership acknowledged the issue but then stopped responding to your calls and never followed up, leaving you unable to complete subsequent vehicle purchases. You have documentation of the CARFAX report, sales contract, title, and service records to support your claim.

SO MY CAR STARTED MAKING A MECHANICAL NOISE WHEN I WOULD SHUT IT OFF A FEW WEEKS AGO , IT SOUNDED KIND OF LIKE A CLANKING NOISE OR MORE LIKE A FLAP OPENING AND SHUTTING IT WOULD DO IT THEN STOP . THEN IT STARTED TO GET WORSE DOING IT ALOT MORE AND WHEN I WAS AT THE STOP LIGHTS IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN AS IT WAS DOING THAT NOISE I NOTICED THE 4LO AND 4LOCK LIGHTS TURNING OFF AND ON. SO I FIGUED IT WAS THE 4X4 SWITCHING ON AND OFF .COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING . I CAN TELL WHEN IT IS SWITCHED ON BECAUSE MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER AND IN FACT IT FEELS AS IF IT IS GOING TO TIP OVER IF IT SWITCHES ON WHILE I AM TURNING . I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE SO I

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGES ON ITS OWN.. IT WILL SWITCH TO 4 LOL THEN BACK AGAIN THEN BACK TO 4 LO OVER AND OVER AGAIN.. THE SERVICE 4WD GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE 4 LO ENGAGES I LOSE MOST OF MY STEERING ABILITY.. DIDN'T TAKE A LONG SEARCH TO FIND OUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE..

I DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVENT OWNED IT IN YEARS

THE WEATHER STRIPPING WAS BAD ON MY DURANGO WHICH CAUSED WATER TO GET INTO MY ENGINE AND CAUSED IT TO SEIZE UP

WHEN RAINING CAR STARTS SHAKING THEN SHUTS OFF MAKING IT HARD TO TURN WHEELS. WHEN MAKING SHARP RIGHT TURNS OR REVERSING FEELS AS IF IT IS STALLING OR SOMETHING IS LOCKING UP. AT ANY GIVEN TIME IT MAKES A SWISHING SOUND BUT MOSTLY WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING DOORS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES TO THIS LOOKED AT AND THE SHOP OWNER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

MY TRUCK CUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ALL THE TIME WHEN IM TURNING CORNERS

I HAVE HAD THIS SUV FOR JUST A FEW MONTHS THE DAY I MAD MY FIRST PAYMENT IT WENT INTO THE SHOP TO BE FIXED. AT FIRST IT WAS APPARENTLY MY #5 PISTON SHOT THRU THE BLOCK WITH ONLY 120,000 MILE ON IT. THAN AFTER SPENDING THE $3,700 TO GET THAT FIXED IT WAS STILL SMOKING AND HAVING ISSUES. NEXT THING I KNOW IT IS NOW THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHITCH WAS ANOTHER $700.00 AND IT WAS 84 IN BACK ORDER WHEN I SEEN THAT I PULLED IT UP ONLINE WERE I READ THAT THOUSANS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST YEAR OF THE HEMI MOTOR IN THE DURANGO. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND I SUPPORT MY KIDS AND HUSBAND DUE TO HIS SPINE SURGERYS. I FEEL IF THERE HAS BEEN THIS MANY PARTS GO BAD THAT IT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL WITH IT. I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY IN SOMETHING THAT IS STILL NOT GOING TO DRIVE PROPERLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE SUV. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY KIDS TO BE IN IM AFRAID THEY WILL BE HURT OR KILLED IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. DODGE NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THISS RECALLED AS SOON AS THEY CAN. THE VECHILE TURNED OFF WHILE ON A STREET THANK GOD IT WAS NOT ON THE FREE WAY.

I HAVE CALLED DODGE IN MY HOMETOWN OF SACRAMENTO FOR THREE WEEKS NOW. I GET PUT ON HOLD OR INTO SOME PHONE ABYSS AND CANNOT GET HELPED FOR MY SAFETY RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE BUT I CANNOT GET ANYONE TO COOPERATE. MY SUGGESTION IS FOR YOU TO CALL THEM AND MAKE AN APPT FOR ME. DURING MY LAST CALL ON AUGUST 26 I ASKED FOR THE GIRLS NAME WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE AND I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN APPT. AGAIN, SHE TRANSFERRED ME TO SOME ABYSS. HER NAME IS [XXX] AND THEIR NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE BEEN ON SEVERAL SITE AND PEOPLE WHO OWN DODGE DURANGO ARE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED THEY SAID IT WAS THE O2 SENSOR AND THE DURANGO HAS 4 SO I HAD THEM REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS THEN STARTED AGAIN SAID ITS MISSING BECAUSE I NEED A TUNE UP GOT THE TUNE UP STILL DOING IT. THEN ITS STILL BUCKING SHUTTING OFF WHILE YOUR DRIVING HESITATING WHEN YOU BACK UP AND PULL OFF. SO I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN SAID THE COIL NEED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THAT CHECK ENGINE LINE STILL ON STILL BUCKING SHUTTING OFF WHEN WHEN YOUR DRIVING HESITATING WHEN YOU BACK UP AND PULL OFF. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN SAID ITS THE PCM BUT IT CAN MASK ITSELF AS THE MAP SENSOR, TPS, CRANK OR CAM POSITIONING SENSOR. DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT BECAUSE OF THERE SHOTTY WORKMANSHIP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU REPLACE IT YOU STILL END UP HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM DOWN THE LINE AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. ITS NOT RIGHT THAT DODGE OR SHALL WE SAME DAMIEN CHRYSLER WANT REMEMDY THE PROBLEM. THE CRAZY THING IS THE WIRING HARNESS IS AFFECTED TO AND THE PARTS ALONE FOR THAT IS 1180 PCM 400 AND THATS USED AND YOU HAVE TO GET IT REBUILT WHICH CAUSING A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN STILL BE DEFECTIVE.

DODGE DURANGO. *TR

WHEN I OPEN A SINGLE WINDOW, THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES. THE FRONT DOORS SHAKE ENOUGH TO SEE A GAP. THERE IS SO MUCH CABIN PRESSURE IT FEELS AS IF YOUR HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE WITH WINDOW DOWN. THE SHAKING HAS CAUSED THE FRONT LEFT DOOR TO HAVE SEVERE WIND NOISE WHEN WINDOWS ARE CLOSED.

I WAS CONTACTED IN JULY BY CHRYSLER WHO SAID THAT MY 04 DODGE DURANGO SLT HAD A "HOT BAKE PAINT PROBLEM." THE FEMALE REP. ASKED IF I HAD NOTICED ANY PAINT FADING OR OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOLD HER "NO, NOT YET." I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO USA DODGE ALSO KNOWN AS MACK DODGE AND RETURN IT FOR ANOTHER TRUCK. THE SAME LEASE AGREEMENT STILL IN EFFECT, THE NEW TRUCK WOULD HAVE TO BE MSRP TO MSRP. I ASKED WHY THEY JUST WOULD NOT REPAINT IT AND PUT US IN A LOANER, SHE SAID, "SIR WOULDN'T YOU LIKE A NEW TRUCK !" I SAID, "YES !", ALREADY HAVING ABOUT 5,000 MILES I WOULD BE STARTING THE MILEAGE CLOCK TO ZERO. THEN I ASKED HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE NEW TRUCK I PICK OUT WON'T HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD RUN THE VIN TO MAKE SURE. WELL I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER TRUCK MSRP TO MSRP EVEN AFTER CHECKING A FEW DEALERSHIPS. THE TRUCK GAVE US PROBLEMS IN THE PAST, STALL, NO START, NO STORED CODES ETC. THEY EVEN BLAMED IT ON THE KEY FOB ONCE. AFTER WHAT'S BEEN ON THE NEWS I AM GLAD THEY BOUGHT ME OUT OF THE TRUCK. I PRAY TO GOD THAT MY WIFE & 3 KIDS NEVER GOT HURT AND I WILL PRAY THAT NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER. *JB
