2007 Dodge Durango 4X4 Owner Complaints

THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONSISTENTLY GOING BAD , DUE TO FAULTY WIRING HARNESS OR OTHER ISSUES. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING , AND THE ITS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO JUST REPLACE , BUT I REPLACE 1 A YEAR . I HAVE REPLACED 6 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM TO WHY THE CPS KEEPS FAILING .

WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERE. NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN SHOWING DOWN. THE DURANGO DOES NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY AND HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE OTHER DAY IT STALLED AT 5AM IN THE MORNING WHILE CROSS A BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE HAZARDS AND HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I WAS SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME. IT STARTED UP ABOUT 6 MINUTES LATER WHICH FELT LIKE A LIFETIME. THIS DURANGO HAS ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF STALING AND STARTING BACK UP BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED HOW MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WAS DUE TO HAVING NO LIGHTS OR HAZARDS AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 4.7L 4X4 HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ESP/BAS AND SLIPPERY ROAD LIGHT. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR FLOW SENSOR DETECTED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE IN CAUSE NO DEALERSHIP WANTS A PART OF IT CAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE WITH WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE TO FIX IT WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP THANK YOU.

THE SERVICE 4WD LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING BACK OFF. IT IS AN AWD MODEL DURANGO. I'VE READ FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO FULL TIME 4WD ON ITS OWN, YOU CAN HERE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, WHEN YOU ACTIVATE THE POWER LOCKS. BUT LAST NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH IT DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW ON ITS OWN, MY ENGINE WENT UP TO 6000 RPM ON THE TACH AND I LOST SPEED, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I THINK THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, DUE TO SAFETY.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A KNOWN GAS TANK ISSUE. I CAN NOT FILL UP WITHOUT ABOUT A CUP OR SO OF GASOLINE SPITTING OUT OVER CAR AND GROUND. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DID SPEAK WITH LOCAL DODGE DEALER ABOUT IT, BUT THEY DENIED ANY FACTORY DEFECT. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ON SEVERAL YEARS OF THE DURANGO.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO KENDALL DODGE FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON PART # R25/NHTSA 15V-313 (WHICH IS PART OF MY AIRBAG) TO BE REPLACED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED BECAUSE THERE IS "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR TAB PART # 107300 THAT IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLAIMING THAT IF MY CAR IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND SOMEONE TAMPERED WITH THE AIRBAG (GLUED ALL THE BACK TOGETHER) IN ORDER TO HIDE DAMAGE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED INSPECTION PRIOR TO SALE?

I WAS TRAVELING ON I99 SOUTHBOUND AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH GEAR TO 3RD. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON. I POSITIONED THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO DRIVE (D) AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. I NOTICED A LACK OF ACCELERATION AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED, THE FILTERS REPLACED AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REFILLED WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID. I CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL EACH WEEK TO SEE IF I HAVE A LEAK BUT NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND THE DEALER QUOTE ME A FIGURE OVER $2000. I AM A DISABLED VIETNAM VETERAN AND LIVE ON MY DISABILITY RIGHT NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

UPON FUELING THE VEHICLE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WOULD SPEW OUT GETTING HANDS/CLOTHES/GROUND WET WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENS AT ERRATIC TIMES, NEVER A RHYME OR REASON. LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED AND SAW NO RECALL INFORMATION. NOW VEHICLE IS READING A P0430 CODE, O2 SENSORS. I AM THINKING THERE MUST BE A CONNECTION AS I AM READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THE SAME NATURE WITH IT BEING CONNECTED TO THE SAME ENGINE CODE. TAKING TO A DEALER NEXT WEEK. *TR
