2000 Dodge Durango electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 56 of 56, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I bought a new dodge durango in 2000 and despite taking good care of it I have had several problems. The first problem were the safty belts coming unclipped for no reason and then sticking open so they couldn't be reclipped. The middle seats the middle seats to not always latch completely down after being folded up, the headlight switch in the steering column has a short in it causing the headlights to go out while I am driving at night. I had to bring it in because the engine light came on and was informed that there was a defective part that the dealership had been notified in a bulletin. They replaced the part, but charged me for the labor. The latest problem is a power stearing problem that the dealership informed me that because of a leaky seal I have to replace the entire rack and pinion for almost $900. I feel that this is absurd on a car that is only 3 years old.
My 2000 dodge durango with approximately 30,000 miles on it mysteriously and unexpectedly burst into flames in the front end. Within sixty seconds, the entire vehicle was engulfed and became a total loss. Three various fire investigators were unable to determine the resultant cause of the blaze.
Transmission has failed two weeks after purchase date. *ak the vehicles transmission went in reverse while the gear was in drive. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer refused to repair the vehicle free of charge because of the vehicles mileage, 37828. The consumer was under the assumption that the warranty was valid. The warranty was effective from 2002 (3 years/36k miles). The vehicle experienced multiple electrical problem. The indicator lights stopped working, hazard lights stopped working, the right rear passenger door lock failed and the left passenger window motor failed. The vehicle also experienced steering problems. *ts
While driving at an undetermined speed engine light came on and smoke started coming from underneath the vehicle. This resulted in vehicle bursting into flames. Prior to this occurrence dealership replaced transmission sensor 3 times. Cause of the fire was undetermined.
Right rear passenger door locked from inside and outside, a few weeks later, the problem went away, but the window will not roll down, and ever since then, when the vehicle exceeds 15 MPH, a loud buzzing (doors locking)surprises guest passengers.
The battery was replaced by the dealer on three different occasions, the transmission was replaced last year, and there was a problem with the door lock system.
Vehicle was parked and suddenly ignited. Dealer was contacted, and stated components around alternator were bleeding. Please provide further details.
The insured stated the fire appeared to have started in the headlight. Claim# 13-7435-963.
The vehicle caught on fire due to an oil leak onto the exhaust cross-over pipe, however the first set of experts suggest an electrical fire, and now a second set of experts are examining the vehicle. Claim# 30-f037-271.
I was driving down the road and without any warning the vehicle caught fire under the hood. I lost steering and brakes. Was able to run vehicle into curb and just got out before things started blowing up. The vehicle was completly distroyed. I reported the incident to my insurance and a few days later I was contacted by a invistagator from daimler chrysler who stated that they wanted to replace my vehicle because the fire was there fault. This statement lead me to beleave daimler chrysler knows about a problem and want to keep it very quite. I was told if I talk to any one the deal would be off. As of now I still do not have my replacement vehicle. Daimler chrysler is insisting I take a vehicle of lesser value that my durango. Any information reguarding this would be greatly appriciated. I feel like I am at the mercy of a very powerful corporation.
Pulled into garage and car would not go into park, reverse, drive, etc. - digital gauge on the dash showed that the car was in gear 1. The car felt like it was in park although we had a difficult time turning the car off since gears would not work properly. Even though the car was in park, it was able to be rocked back and forth as if it was in neutral.we had it towed away on a flatbed to the dealer since we were not able to drive it. We were told that a part snapped in the steering column. We've complained to dealer on two separate occasions (mileage 5963 and 14120) about the problems in the steering column portion of the vehicle - the service department couldn't duplicate the problem, and told us not to worry about it... It makes me wonder what would have happened if I was driving (with my two small children) when this part snapped??
When driving between 60-70mph vehicle would vibrate. Rear window was not sealed properly after replacement due to a scratch. Driver's window replaced due to regulator dragging. Electrical wires for air conditioner were pinched and failed to work.*ak vehicle sounds to have an electrical problem, windows have failed, door regulators failed, battery failed, and while driving the RPM, odometer, and trip meter all went to zero. Consumer had to replace goodyear tires, no other tire information provided.
A clip within air bar assembly broke, causing complete malfuction of electrical system. Please give any further details.
Vehicle caught fire shortly after parking it. It gave no indication of a problem previous to the fire. Dealer gave no explanation or reason for the fire.
Since getting the the car in feb of this year the car was back to the dealer for more than 26 days because the car keeps losing all its electrical power without warning twice happend on freeway in heavy traffic . Dealer installed copilot twice to download if car stalls again . Copilot did not work first time plus makes driving dangerous because of wirring between legs.
