2004 Dodge Durango Transmission Problems

I BOUGHT MY DURANGO AT A USED DEALERS. IT HAD 56000 MILES ONE OWNER, 2010, CENTER COLUMN PANEL OVER HEATED AND YOU COULD SMELL PLASTIC BURNING. THE RADIO SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITION CONTROLS WELL ACTUALLY EVERYTHING WAS SO HOT YOU HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK TO LET THAT CENTER PANEL COOL DOWN BEFORE YOU COULD TURN THEM OFF,THE NEXT THING I STARTED HEARING A BAD SHIFTING NOISE AND IT BANGED REALLY LOUD LIKE FROM THE REAR END I ASSUMED. NO MATTER IF YOU WERE DRIVING SLOW OR FAST THE TRUCK WOULD DOWNSHIFT AND SOUNDING LIKE A ROD OR SOMETHING WAS GOING TO COME THROUGH THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE DOWN WHEN WAS TOLD BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP AT THE TIME THE DOWNSHIFTING STARTED IT WAS 90,000 MILES ,NOW I AM AT 93,000 -OR 98,000 MILES AND SOMETHING IS REALLY KNOCKING TO ME I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAN HITTING THE RADIATOR BUT NOT THE CASE, IT ALSO STALLS OUT IN THE RAIN AND ENGINE WONT START UNTIL AFTER RAIN HAS STOPPED, IT STALLS OUT ON SUNNY DAYS FOR NO REASON. YOU STILL HERE A THUD NOISE OR IT DOWNSHIFTING HARD AT 15 MILES AN HOUR OR IF YOU GO ANY SPEED IT CONTINUES TO DOWN SHIFT SHAKING THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER BUTTON BROKEN OFF FROM UNDER THE HOOD THE RUBBER AROUND THE HOOD KEEPS FALLING OFF INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS ARE SHORTING OUT. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK GOOD CARE FANTASTIC VEHICLE LOVE IT BUT IT HAS ISSUES BAD ISSUES. NOT DRIVABLE 930000# *KB

MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO STALLS FREQUENTLY...ALMOST DAILY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT AND THE TECHNICIANS WERE STUMPED AND SEEMED UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE, WHICH I HAVE SINCE LEARNED IS NOT UNCOMMON. THE STALLS FREQUENTLY OCCUR AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS, BUT HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DOING 50 KM/HR AND WHILE UNDER POWER. THE HIGHER SPEED STALLS ARE A CONCERN AS THE STALL ALSO KILLS POWER BRAKING AND STEERING. TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN N AND TURN IGNITION. SO FAR, THAT HAS WORKED EACH TIME, BUT AT SPEED THIS CAN BE A LITTLE UNNERVING TO SAY THE LEAST. DODGE STATED THAT A EEC FLASH WAS AVAILABLE, BUT THAT IT DID NOT ADDRESS STALLING, ONLY SHIFTING ISSUES AND THEREFORE IT WAS NOT REQUIRED. DODGE HAS SO FAR INDICATED THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I AM DATING THE INFORMATION BELOW WITH THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHER SPEED, BUT IT HAS BEEN STALLING WITHOUT WARNING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS. *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2004 LOST ALL FUNCTION PULLING INTO PARKING LOT. LOST ENGINE, BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL. LIKEN IT TO A POWER PLUG BEING PULLED OUT AND INSTANTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL CONTROL. WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT MISHAP. TOOK IT TO NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO NO AVAIL. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TOOK THE CAR HOME ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN THE VERY NEXT MORNING AGAIN DURING DECELERATION TO A STREET LIGHT. TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIP. FOUND NOTHING WRONG.BUT CHANGED THE BATTERY IN THE EVENT LOW VOLTAGE WAS THE ISSUE. POWER CUT OUT AGAIN DURING A DECELERATION AND TURNING A SLIGHT RIGHT AT A FORK IN THE ROAD. THIS TIME WITH ENTIRE FAMILY ONBOARD. LOSS OF STEERING, AND BRAKES. BUT INSTRUMENT PANEL STAYED LIT. AND ALL HEAT RADIO. WILL NOT TRY DRIVING AGAIN UNTIL SOLVED. NOTE: NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE CAR BEFORE INCIDENTS STARTED TO OCCUR. NO OIL CHANGE, CAR WASH, POTHOLE, BREAK-IN. NOTHING. LOST ALL FAITH IN "CERTIFIED" DODGE MECHANICS AS THEY CAN'T EVEN LOOK UP THE ISSUE AND CONFIRM SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. I'VE FOUND SEVERAL VIA LIMITED INTERNET SEARCH. NO SOLUTIONS HOWEVER. *TR

OUR 2004 DODGE DURANGO WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY IN PARK, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, RADIO ON, BOTH FRONT DOORS OPEN AND KEYS STILL IN THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR 5 MINUTES OR MORE TILL I GOT MY NEIGHBOR TO HELP ME UNLOAD A GRILL OUT OF THE BACK. MY WIFE HOPPED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO TURN THE RADIO DOWN WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD WHILE IN "PARK". MY WIFE WAS KNOCKED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS HURT BADLY ON HER LEG AND IT RAN INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR THEN ROLLED INTO THE STREET. I RAN AFTER THE TRUCK TO STOP IT FROM GOING ANY FURTHER, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THEN LOOKED AT THE SHIFT HANDLE AND IT WAS STILL IN "PARK". *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2004 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. WE HAVE OWNED THE SUV FOR JUST UNDER 90 DAYS AND ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHEN MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. I SPOKE WITH A DODGE DEALERSHIP ON THE PHONE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY OFFERED LITTLE HELP. I INTEND TO CALL THEM IN THE MORNING AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THIS IS THE VEHICLE MY WIFE USES TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO YOUNG BOYS TO PRE-SCHOOL AND HERSELF TO WORK. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO US BECAUSE THE TRUCK DYING IN THE DRIVEWAY IS ONE THING, BUT WHAT IF THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. *JB

WE PURCHASED OUR DURANGO NEW IN 8/04. ON 9/ 9/04 THE TRUCK STARTED, BUT DIED WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT NEEDED AN UPDATE PERFORMED ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9/24/04 AND THEN IN OCT. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY APPARENTLY DID NOT GET THE UPDATE COMPLETED OR DONE PROPERLY. WE BEGAN NOTICING THEN THAT THE TRUCK FELT AS IF IT WAS SURGING OR ALMOST SKIPPING A GEAR. MULTIPLE PEOPLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TEST DROVE IT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE JUST FEELING MORE W/ THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A SMOOTH RIDE COMPARED TO MOST 4WD VEHICLES. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WE FINALLY GAVE UP. NOW ON 3/ 25/06 THE TRUCK DIED WHILE IN PARK IN A PARKING LOT. THAT SAME NIGHT IT SURGED AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. W/IN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE IT WAS AS IF THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO DIE. ON THE MORNING OF 3/28 THE TRUCK SURGED AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE TRUCK IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY IT DIED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT A WEEK, STATED THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOWED NOTHING WAS WRONG,DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 30 MILES DURING THAT TIME W/OUT INCIDENT. NOW IT HAS DIED AGAIN WHILE I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE. I AM TIRED OF BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT JUST DIE WHILE YOU ARE GOING DOWN A ROAD W/OUT ANY WARNING. AT NO TIME HAVE WE HAD ANY LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH ADVISING OF A PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO THINK THAT CHRYSLER IS OKAY W/ US DRIVING OUR FAMILIES AROUND IN THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN THAT I TOTE AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT VERY COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT IT WILL DIE UNEXPECTEDLY. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 DODGE DURANGO IN NOVEMBER 2004. VIN [XXX]. [XXX]. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE VEHICLE SILENTLY CEASING TO OPERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN MOTION, VERY NEARLY CAUSING VERY SERIOUS MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES. 1 OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN PARK. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE 1ST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME OUT OF PARK NUMEROUS TIMES; WHEN PLACED INTO DRIVE, FAILED TO ENGAGE AND WOULD SIMPLY IDLE; AND HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL QUIRKS THAT ARE NOT SAFETY RELATED. EACH TIME WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, SIMPLY TO BE TOLD "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE." JUST RECENTLY, WE WERE TOLD CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE VEHICLE CEASING TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE TOLD CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE OR FIX IT, AND HAVE BEEN PRESSURING DEALERSHIPS TO SEND THE VEHICLES BACK OUT WITH THE CUSTOMER IN THE SAME UNSAFE AND DEADLY CONDITION. CHRYLSER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE US OR THE PROBLEM, AND 3 TIMES NOW MY FAMILY HAS BEEN PLACED IN PERIL BECAUSE CHRYSLER WON'T RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES OR SPEND MONEY TO FIX THEM.*JB UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
