Durango

  • 5,000 miles
The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Durango. While driving 10 mph, the gear shift sticks while approaching a stop. The failure makes it difficult to stop the vehicle. The failure has occurred four times within a six month period. The first time the vehicle was taken to the dealer, they stated that the braking system failed. A new master cylinder was installed, which temporarily repaired the failure; however, the failure recurred six weeks later. She took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. The contact currently has an appointment with the dealer to further inspect the vehicle. The VIN and recall number were unknown. The failure mileage was 5,000 and current mileage was 32,000.

Parked in the driveway which is on a slight upward incline with car running, unloading groceries while kids were watching a video. After 15 minutes I reached in through the passenger side to turn off the ignition and the car released out of park, rolling down the driveway, hit a tree and mailbox. Vehicle was 'clicking' the entire way down the driveway.

The vehicle's radio stopped working. When the consumer tried to change lanes, he noticed a delayed reaction from the time he pressed the accelerator to the response of the vehicle. On another occasion, the check engine light illuminated and the transmission down shifted for a few seconds. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained all the problems he had experienced and after a diagnostics test was done, the dealer stated the computer displayed a code and they did not know what it was so they erased it. One month later, the consumer experienced the same problem with the radio and when he attempted to place the vehicle in park, the gear shifter did not go into the park position it stayed in the reverse position. The vehicle went back to the dealer and it was discovered that 2 bolts and a bracket were missing from the transmission shifter. The consumer stated the cruise control did not and a new problem had surfaced. There was a warning light on the dashboard that read pass air bag off.
