Car would not shift properly. Also, will not go into park. Warranty expired. Gonna try to trade it for something other than a Dodge product. P. O. S.

In the morning I stop at a stop sign, hit the gas and nothing for a second. Then it kicks into gear and jerks the truck forward.

Durango

  • 28,000 miles

Durango tranmissions don't work-period. We have had 4, yes, 4 rebuilt transmissions!!! This has been happening about every 15,000 miles since 28,000. It shift gears like a monkey driving a manual transmission. We have had problems with it slipping in EVERY gear. I don't think this transmission is fixable because it was never built right in the first place.

Durango

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 99 DURANGO SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR FROM A STOP (FELT LIKE I WAS PULLING MY SNOWMOBILE TRAILER) I HAD THE SPEED SENSOR REPLACED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW I EVEN GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE. IT DIDNT SHOW UP ON ANY COMPUTER TESTS UNTIL THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ITS ONLY A $26.00 DOLLAR PART AT AUTOZONE. I HAD IT DONE AT A GARAGE FOR $100.00 HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!!

Durango

  • 60,000 miles

I had the problem of hard shifting @ 60000 miles and sent it to the dealer for the fix. They replaced some solenoids in the tranny and it worked like a dream until 75000 miles when it broke again

Durango XLT

  • 75,000 miles

The transmission is not shifting to higher gear. It is a pain because last year we had it serviced and again this year, now this problem.

I KNOW THERE ARE MORE CASES OUT THERE, PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT THESE PROBLEMS AND PAY FOR THEM.
