Durango 8-cyl

Consumer stated that while driving she smelled an odor of burning rubber but didn't know that it was her vehicle. As soon as she put the turn signal on, all the dashboard lights started to blink. When the turn was complete she saw smoke coming from under the dashboard. The consumer managed to pull over into a mall parking lot and at that point the vehicle went up in flames.

problem #2

Durango 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60 miles
Electronic controls of safety equipment do not funtion properly. Turn signals, lights, cruise. Gauges, windows, radio, airbag etc.. all have malfuntioned since the car was picked up from the dealer. It is obvious that a electrical problem exists in the vehicle but doddge/Chrysler is un willing to address the issue.this is an ongoing issue. I have numerous witnesses and have started video recording the problems.

problem #1

Apr 152003

Durango 4WD

  • miles
For a 2002 Dodge Durango, the power door locks kept locking and unlocking the doors by themselves and kept repeating the process every ten or twenty seconds while operating the vehicle. Even when the one hour car ride was finished and the key removed, the power door locks continued to lock and unlock the doors making it impossible to lock the car for the night. The batteries from the remote access devices were removed, but did not solve the problem. Even one day later, the door locks continue to intermittently lock and unlock the door.
