Heater blows good, then stops blowing, then will start again. The air conditioning also does this. Heater and air in back works fine. If you shut car off and restart will work. It is winter now and I can't see to drive.
2004 Dodge Durango visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving down the road at normal highway speeds, if the rear windows are rolled down the car begins to shake violently to the point where the doors feel as if they are going to be pulled off. The first time this happened was about 1 mth after I bought the car while driving down the road, it took me by surprise and I was almost in an accident because of its severity. I have contacted dodge and nothing is being done about it.
There is a visual blind spot at the front windshield on both sides. Very dangerous!!!! The molding is too wide. I have been very lucky not to hit people driving or walking. This should be investigated immediately...dodge has a huge problem here!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal went all the way to the floorboard when depressed. In addition, the radiator constantly overheated and the speedometer was registering hot. The dealer replaced the radiator, and stated that it was clogged and no longer under warranty. Another dealer stated that there was a hole punctured in the radiator. When the contact returned to the original dealer, they stated that they also noticed the hole. The instrument panel indicator light illuminated, and the passenger's side windshield wiper constantly became unscrewed. This was the contact's second dodge durango, and was having the same failures. She stated that she never received any recall notices for any of the ones that existed. The dealer did not record the VIN to research if the vehicle had any defects. The vehicle was brought to dealer for service for all of the failures except the instrument panel light and windshield light. The current mileage is 68,000 , and failure mileage was 30,000.
Dt: the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. The contact states that there is a blind spot on the driver's side and passenger side of the vehicle. She noticed the blind spot a couple of months ago when she almost hit another vehicle. Also, the contact almost hit someone crossing in a cross walk because she could not see the person. The consumer did not notice this when she first purchased the vehicle. The consumer has not contacted the dealership or the manufacturer of the vehicle.
While opening the rear and frontal windows consumer heard a loud squeaking noise. This caused a distraction to the driver. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection numerous times, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem. *ak consumer continues to hear a horrible whistle sound when the windows are down.
I purchased a brand new 2004 dodge durango from a reputable car dealership expecting it to be the high quality that I have always been used to with dodge. However, I am extremely dissatisfied. When I drive this vehicle on the highway ( at posted speed or less), it feels as though the wind will pick it up & carry it away! It sways & shimmy's constantly. It feels as though high air currents are curculating inside the vehicle also. It does not feel safe at all. What should I do? I am retired & live on a very modest income, so I cannot just go have this problem repaired with no thought of the cost. I also have another problem with my dodge durango. Whenever I have the window ( or windows) open at all, whether it be a crack or completely open, a very loud, almost deafening roar enters the vehicle. I causes such horrible ear pain to all inside the durango, that we can never have the windows open at all. This may seem like a minor problem, but actually it is not. Besides the fact that I am paying for this vehicle through a loan & expect it to perform as a new vehicle should, my wife has severe asthma & many times will need fresh air in order to breathe properly. It is not always possible to stop at the side of the road! Please tell me what I should do. Thank you vey much!
I own a new 2004 dodge durango limited. It has a dealer activated feature that tilts the outside rear view mirrors downward for greater visability when in reverse. I had that feature activated and found that the mirrors did not tilt downward sufficiently for increased visibility as described in the owners manual. After activating the feature on another durango, the dealer's sales and service personnel all agreed that it did not work as described and was ineffective. The dealer's service manager promised to initiate and forward a defective engineering report to dodge.
When turning steering wheel to the left or right steering wheel does not return smoothly. The dealer replaced the steering arm but that didn't correct the problem. *ak during the time the consumer owned the vehicle the air bag light illuminated and the rear wiper fell out.
I am 6'1" and the rearview mirror blocks my view in my 2004 dodge durango. When looking right or turning right the rearview mirror is eye level on me, hence creating a serious blindspot. I have e-mailed dodge and seen the dealer. Dealer doesn't want to touch it and have received no response back from dodge for 2 months now. I suggested to have it moved or install a different mirror, but was told that would require replacing the front windshield.
While driving on the highway between 50 and 60 MPH rear passenger window had a whistling sound and vibration. Dealer indicated nobody else complained on this issue.
