2003 Dodge Durango Driver assistance Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE HAD THESE PARTS REPLACED TWICE THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME. DODGE HAS OR HAD A RECALL. BUT WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL DID NOT AFFECT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IT'S A UNSAFE VEHICLE. I AM WORRIED BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE MOM AND KEEP UP WITH ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON IT MYSELF. IF IT'S RECALLED I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD HONOR ALL RECALLS ON THE VEHICLES. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I 495 DURANGO STARTED ACCELERATING WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. IT KEPT ACCELERATING EVEN WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKES LIGHTLY. THERE WERE CARS BRAKING IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF.*AK
