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.

The quality of paint, primer, prep, and undercoat is crap. I live in the rust belt of upstate New York and rust is going to happen, but I've never had a vehicle rust through a quarter panel like my Durango. I've seen the same rust condition in the same spots in the year ranges of Durango/Aspen. My issue is that the driver rear quarter panel is almost completely gone because of rust. The only way to fix this condition is to cut it out and weld in a new piece of sheet metal. The paint job is poor and Dodge could care less. I won't pay to get this issue fix because it should not happen to the degree where you can watch the panel disappear in a time span of 6 months.
