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.
Last summer (2007) I had the brakes replaced on my vehicle at 36k miles. Since then, my brakes have been squealing, shrieking and making an unbelievable amount of noise. I've had the vehicle in for repairs 8 times since--the pads replaced twice, lubed twice and who knows what else and they keep telling me nothing is wrong! The shrieking is so loud that it extremely irritating and annoying not to mention embarrassing! I have to sit in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic each day/night and listen to this nerve-grinding noise! Anyhow, it's going back in. If the brakes are squealing, there is definitely something wrong!
Took truck in again for breaks squealing...can not duplicate they said...the mechanic must have been deaf. Now we have 32,000 miles and the breaks are really bad...of course they are not covered anymore. I will never purchase another Dodge product.
My breaks were squeaking...I took it into the dealer for service. Can you believe at 10,336 miles my rotors were warped and glazed. You have got to be kidding me. After all of the engine stalls...now this. One word comes to mind LEMON!!
