problem #3

Durango

  • 81,000 miles
Driving down the road at normal highway speeds, if the rear windows are rolled down the car begins to shake violently to the point where the doors feel as if they are going to be pulled off. The first time this happened was about 1 mth after I bought the car while driving down the road, it took me by surprise and I was almost in an accident because of its severity. I have contacted Dodge and nothing is being done about it.

While opening the rear and frontal windows consumer heard a loud squeaking noise. This caused a distraction to the driver. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection numerous times, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem. Consumer continues to hear a horrible whistle sound when the windows are down.

I purchased a brand new 2004 Dodge Durango from a reputable car dealership expecting it to be the high quality that I have always been used to with Dodge. However, I am extremely dissatisfied. When I drive this vehicle on the highway ( at posted speed or less), it feels as though the wind will pick it up & carry it away! it sways & shimmy's constantly. It feels as though high air currents are curculating inside the vehicle also. It does not feel safe at all. What should I do? I am retired & live on a very modest income, so I cannot just go have this problem repaired with no thought of the cost. I also have another problem with my Dodge Durango. Whenever I have the window ( or windows) open at all, whether it be a crack or completely open, a very loud, almost deafening roar enters the vehicle. I causes such horrible ear pain to all inside the Durango, that we can never have the windows open at all. This may seem like a minor problem, but actually it is not. Besides the fact that I am paying for this vehicle through a loan & expect it to perform as a new vehicle should, my wife has severe asthma & many times will need fresh air in order to breathe properly. It is not always possible to stop at the side of the road! please tell me what I should do. Thank you vey much!
