This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Dodge "racetrack lighting" has cracks at upper left and upper right corners. Causing water to enter housing and short out a section of lights. Thankfully it has not caught fire. I see the same section of lights out on other Dodge Durangos. The dealership told me the "crack" was caused by me and there is nothing they can do about it and the cost would come out of my pocket. When inspected the cracks are uniform in shape and size.
The taillights have standing water in them and I have no clue how water would be able to get in there. The water will not drain and now it has caused a portion of my light to go out. After reading this online, I've seen a lot of Durango owners with this issue and I feel this has to be turned into a recall. I have only had my car for one year and I am no longer in the warranty but I feel this should not be an out of pocket expense.
Fuel door will not open depressing door switch interiorly or emergency release switch in cargo compartment. Fuel door had to be pried open order to refill gas tank.
Had pulled car into garage and thought car was in park. Had not turned rotary shifter all the way to park, so car was in reverse. Started to exit the vehicle and removed foot from brake and car started pulling backward. I jumped back into car and applied brake just as car door, which was ajar, struck garage framing, badly damaging door. If I had not been able to get back into the car I may have been killed because there was nowhere to move in the garage. Chrysler should automatically put these rotary shifter cars into park if vehicle is stopped and car door is opened.
I was parked in my driveway on a slight decline and the vehicle was running and in park and I ran into the house to grab something and when I looked back it was rolling down the driveway and crashed and got stuck in between two trees. The vehicle is now totaled.
In my driveway put car into park and opened the door to get out and go close the garage door from inside the garage. Car was in park and stationary. Started walking to the garage and noticed car started moving forward. Opened the door and jumped in the car to stop it. Did not get into car in time and car ran into the garage with the front driver side of car. Car has scratches, dents, and paint chipping and peeling. From hitting garage. Garage was pushed back at impact site by about 2 or 3 inches.
Electronic fuel door was constantly getting stuck and would not open unless the inside button was pushed multiple times. When I went to get gas, the plastic door popped off so the metal hinge is now visible and is an eyesore. This is a major safety issue.
Fuel door has a tendency not to pop open when you hit the release button inside of vehicle. This can be a safety hazard if you need gas and cannot get the gas door open and there is no manual override to open it.
