Transmission hesitates, then jerks while getting into second gear. I consider this a safety hazzard while making turns. This could cause an accident.

Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 181 of 181, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer has a problem with vehicle stalling without prior warning. Vehicle started jerking and it stopped in the middle of the road. Consumer notified dealership, and mechanic told him that they couldn't duplicate the problem. *ak the dealer replaced power train control module, time and alarm module.
Several time my overdrive light has come on and then has shut off in the last year. The dealer has told me that there is nothing they can do unless I bring the truck in while the light is on. One day in july on my lunch hour I was sitting in the drive thru getting lunch and my overdrive light came on and wouldnt shut off. The transmission light came on and the temp gauge shot up in the red zone. I immediatley parked the vehicle and called roadside assitance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer called me and told me theire was nothing wrong. They siad you must have pushed the overdive light by accident. I dont think so I told them. They said they put the truck on their machine and it told them the lights and guages never showed they lit up or overheated. Impossible. Im afraid im going to get stranded again with my child. My airconditioner doesnt cool well and they say it cools fine. My truck is currently in the shop due to the paint is lossing its clearcoat. Love the durango but very disgusted.
While on a slight incline vehicle rolled away while in park, resulting in a collision. *ak the engine was off and key was out of ignition when the vehicle rolled back wards and an open door struck a tree.
Anti-lock brakes failed, causing vehicle to skid, and resulting in near miss on two occasions, clutch fan wasnt working since date of purchase engine sounded like jet engine getting ready for take off asked dealer if normal, said yes. Transfer case started growling after put in to four wheel drive for first time. Output bearings in transmission had to be replaced.
Car was running with no emergency brake on, also, small child was able to put car into neutral without pressing the brakes, and car rolled backwards, resulting in a crash.
4- wheel drive unit remains in 4w after returning to 2 w drive. Dash light goes out.but in order to return to 2w drive vehicle must be stopped and ignition turned off. This operation is unsafe and contrary to manual information. Vehicle did not respond in this manner when new.
Dealer stated thar year model 1998 and 1999 were not originally equipped with gear shift interlock making it possible for the vehicle to be shifted out of park and into drive without depressing the brake pedal therefore dealer is not responsible for fixing the problem.
While engine was on and in park position transmission gear slipped into reverse and caused vehicle to roll over, resulting in a crash. Dealer could not determine the cause of the problem. Please provide further information.
While driving driveshaft broke, causing a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Dealer had to replace the driveshaft and exhaust system. Please provide further information.
The shift lever can be disengaged from the park position without touching the brakes. The 2- year old child was able to disengage the lever. The vehicle had hit another vehicle. Will be taking vehicle to dealership to check out.
The child which was strapped in the css and left alone in the vehicle with engine running, child climbed out of the css and pushed transmission shift lever and vehicle roll forward, causing a crash. Please provide further information.
On first one hour of ownership 30 miles driven the drive line seperated from the rear end causing damage to the underside of the vehicle. We have been unable to locate or speak with factory reps due to the difficult process of contacting customer service. At this point we have been shuffled between dealerships and we are at witts ends trying to find listening ears. The new vehicle has not yet made the journey to our home as we are waiting for repairs. We are now four days in waiting for our 34 thousand dollar new vehicle with 30 miles and one hour of ownership. Can you help????
The driveshaft fell from the vehicle at 45-50mph. The dealer has repaired the vehicle.
Vehicle was parked. Went to put it into reverse heard a loud noise.took vehicle to be serviced. Was told that they never heard of the problem ,and didn't hear the noise. Consumer contacted dealer.
Power control module failed resulting in engine failure. Nlm
Gear shift can be engaged without depressing the brake pedal. It appears that this can be an issue for safety. The rear windows when open at a speed of 50mph create a wobbling in the steering ability as well as discomfort to the ears. Also, the rear windows retract all the way into the door which appears to create a possible hazard. The third seat does not appear to lock in place is there any hazards associated with the seat collapsing in a front end or rear end collision?
Water stain on headliner, 3 of the 4 windows have all been stuck in the up position a total of 5 times,the back of the vechicle slides out of control in wet conditions,brakes pads already had to be replaced in under 10000 miles.
Transmission over-revs at various speeds, makes loud noises
Vehicle does not have an interlock system, and unable to have one installed. Dealer/manufacturer notified. Consumer would like the federal safety agency help on this matter.
Leased. Owner's manual states starting the vehicle brakes must be applied and shifting to any driving range, but when brakes are not applied, vehicle can be shifted into gear. Manufacturer contacted, and stated vehicles design does not have the shift interlock. Problem still exists. Provide further information
