2013 Dodge Durango Visibility Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Visibility 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.

WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE HEARD A POP THEN IT SOUNDED LIKE A BAG WAS STUCK TO THE ROOF OF OUR CAR AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE WIND. WE STARTED TO OPEN THE SUNROOF SHADE WHEN WE NOTICED THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS BROKEN. WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANY ROAD DEBRIS AND AFTER STOPPING TO LOOK OVER THE DAMAGE WE NOTICED THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT NOT IN. THE LEFT OVER SUNROOF GLASS ON THE DRIVER SIDE CORNER WAS STICKING UP. WE BELIEVE THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED OUT. *TR

IN MARCH OF 2013 I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW DODGE DURANGO AND I'VE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT. WHEN I'M DRIVING IN THE EVENING THE REFLECTION OF OTHER HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND STREETLIGHTS CAUSE A SHADOW SO THAT I HAVE DOUBLE VISION OF THOSE IMAGES THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TEST DRIVES AND INSPECTIONS THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. THE NEW WINDSHIELD IS JUST AS BAD, WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THEY SAID THIS IS HOW ALL THE DURANGO WINDSHIELDS LOOK AND THEY EVEN TOOK ME FOR A TEST DRIVE IN A NEW 2014 DURANGO TO SHOW ME THAT THIS WAS HOW THEY ALL LOOK. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THE VISIBILITY IS HORRIBLE AND I FEEL THE WINDSHIELD IS HURTING MY EYES. IF THEY CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THE CAR. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-35 NORTH IN IOWA - RAIN WAS JUST STARTING - NO OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY, NO BIRDS, OVERPASSES, ETC - THE SUNROOF EXPLODED INTO A THOUSAND TINY PIECES. LUCKILY, THE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED AS IT KEPT ALL THE GLASS FROM FALLING INTO THE CAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SIMPLE EXPLANATION WHY THIS HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MECHANIC AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID IT APPEARED TO BE FAULTY GLASS ALTHOUGH DODGE WILL NOT ACCEPT A CLAIM UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR
