I am owner of a 2004 Dodge durango. VIN # 1D4hb48N04fxxxxxx. On Tuesday, September 12, 2006 my wife (lori M. murphy) noticed that all interior lights would not go off once the vehicle was in gear. This problem persisted throughout that day and at 10:00 P.M. I tried to get the lights to turn off to no avail. The lights were still on this morning (9/13/06) when my wife took the vehicle to Aurora Chrysler Plymouth in Aurora Ohio. On the way to the dealership she noticed an electrical burning smell. After arriving and waiting about 2 hours, she was told that a chip had burned out on the circuit board for the instrument panel. The service personnel indicated the part needed for repair would be $587. I would like to refer to the NHTSA investigation # EA06015 to see if I have any recourse with DaimlerChrysler for covering expenses for this repair.

Defective weathers tripping around front doors of my 2004.5 Dodge Ram truck. Dodge did not inform me of defective design and will not repair it at their expense (carbon monoxide inhalation danger). Electrical component and wiring harness defects, dealer has not notified me of defects, will not fix them under warranty, (fire hazard). Deceptive practices by Dodge dealer (kari Dodge, kalispell Montana). Sold me a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty, specifically stating it was not similar to my previous warranty (insurance policy it turned out to be). I paid 1700 dollars for a warranty that does not cover what I was lead to believe it would.

2004 Dodge durango w/5.7 liter hemi engine just stalled/shut off on its own when going up a parking garage ramp at approximately 15 mph. Lost all power to power steering and brakes. Had to come to a complete stop, place in park, and then restarted without any problem. Have had vehicle since may of 2004 and this is the first time this problem has happened. Very concerned since I have seen other complaints with same exact problem.

The consumer's vehicle would turn off while braking around turns. As a result the power brakes and steering went out.
- Clackamas, OR, USA
The vehicle continuously stalled in traffic. The consumer was recently driving the vehicle, and the vehicle shut off in the middle of the intersection. After the dealer serviced the vehicle which included replacing the computer, the vehicle's problems still exist. The last fix and the third time the incident occurred, the vehicle lost over 3 miles to the gallon of gas. The dealer stated that they programmed the software to run rich, which in return, burns more gas.
