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.

There is a consistent loud whining noise coming from under the hood of my 2005 Dodge Durango. The noise occurs during a cold start, turning (either way) and accelerating. I've taken the vehicle to 4 reputable mechanics. Everyone can hear it but no diagnosis. The belt and altenator (thought bearings were bad) were changed. To no avail and no one can diagnose this problem,
