problem #10

Durango

  • miles
Engine has had a miss in it since we purchased the car. We have took it back to the dealer 3 times complaining, with the first one was before it had 2000 miles on the car. The dealership told us the first time that it would/did not show up on the computer until it had over 2000 miles on the car. So drive it until then, and if it still did it bring it back in. We brought it back in at 3,803 miles,7,596 miles and then at 18,275. At 7,596 miles they reprogrammed the car and told us to use unleaded plus gas instead of regular. It did no good to change the grade of gas. Then we brought it back in at 18,275 miles with 4 different problems and they changed the fan clutch. The car still missed after this. The dealership told us at this time that they had 3 other cars with the same problem and that Chrysler does not know what the problem is and can not fix it. As far as the clock spring, they were going to replace it, but Chrysler told them instead to change out the steering column instead.

Durango 4WD

Engine misses at idle speed. RPM's vary from 800 to 500 and sometimes down to 300 at which point the engines starts to lug and strains to keep running. It doesn't do this all the time. First thing in the morning usually and usually when I have just come off of the interstate. I've taken it to two different dealers neither which have been able to find a problem.(no check engine light....then no problem).
