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.

I'm completely pissed off when I have a vehicle that tries to kill me. I had two close calls when turning onto a street and my truck turns off in the middle of a turn. Both times I had no warning (no idiot light) and almost crashed into another car head on. Once again YouTube to the rescue. The 5.7 Hemi has an issue with crank sensor faulting out and cause the truck to stall while turning or cause a misfire. If this happens to you, go to the passenger side of the truck and tap on the crank sensor while the engine is running (it is located just above the starter). If the engine cuts off, replace the sensor ASAP. Again Dodge WTF. There should be a light (at least) that gives a fault code to start to figure out an horrible issue that will get a customer hurt/killed. My Durango is slowly falling apart. I really want this to be a good truck and it is when I'm not chasing sensor issues that causes an awesome motor to fault out.
