CarComplaints.com Notes: The second generation Durango was introduced in 2004 and instantly came under fire for, well, catching on fire.
From 2004-2006 electrical overloading in the driver's side instrument panel caused numerous reports of interior fires. The interior infernos became so commonplace that Chrysler eventually issued a recall.
The problems didn't stop there, however. Owners of the recalled vehicles complained about being treated unfairly and given take-it-or-leave-it low ball settlement offers. "They offered me $2000 under NADA retail as a settlement," said one owner, "and have been rude and hostile to deal with." Nothing says awesome service like treating your customers rudely after their cars have caught on fire.

Rusting started on back by plate, has now spread to back drivers side panel, and now the doors. I have seen many others with same type of problems, and called dealers - and they have offered no help at all except pay myself...
I will next consult a lawyer I guess, because this is obviously a manufacture problem. Vehicle is never in elements, always in garage.
