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 already caught on fire.

Ignition Switch turns too far, allowing all dash lights to remain on even while vehicle is moving and running. Was able to move key switch while vehicle was in drive to correct the problem. Key switch will even move to the off position while moving and driving. When it did this all accessories stopped working but the truck remained running. Windows and air bag also will not work when key turns too far. If you experience all your dash lights on at once you should try jiggling or moving your key position.
