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.
Just bought a 2005 dodge Durango. I love the vehicle except when driving 45 mph and faster the drivers door leaks air and it sounds like a wind tunnel right at your head. If I pull the door closed tight with my hand it is total silence. The weather stripping looks good and the door closes fine.???? Kind of stumped on what to do. Any thoughts would be great.
