Faults:

Shut off abruptly while driving.

Changed the two rear windows motors.

Rear ac blower outlet never function.

Had three transmissions changed by the dealer three weeks after purchasing the truck.

2003 without warning while driving on the busy I-5 freeway in San Diego, California my engine locked up.

The timing chain gasket was leaking antifreeze.

The steering pump still leaks fluid.

Changed upper and lower bushing.

Air conditioner have not worked in 4 years.

My check gages light keeps coming on when I stop and when I increase the revolution on the engine the oil pressure goes back up to normal.

General Comments:

I plan on getting the sending unit change on this durango, but reading all the problem other owners have with no redress from chrysler while spending all my cash to maintain it. It will be in my best interest to get rid of it in some way before it leaves me in the street as its my only mode of transportation.

Sign me up for the class action lawsuit or may be I can start, got to find away. I spoke with different chrysler dealeships and all they do is sidestep the issue. I do try and maintain my truck, but its very hard to maintain a mechanic's night mare.

Faults:

The most annoying & continual problem is the pinging, lack of power, & oil burns fast.

The power mirrors tend to only work after the vehicle has been running and very warmed-up.

The vehicle shifts into gear at high RP M's.

The ABS & brake lights stay on & the speedometer no longer works.

General Comments:

After reading other similar problems, I will try replacing the Intake Center Gasket for the performance problems and replace the rear speed sensor for the control problems.

The vehicle is a great family car for those who are not quite ready to drive a van. Very comfortable & roomy for a family of five.

The mirrors & side of the front window have large blind spots.

Faults:

OK, call me crazy, but, if you have a vehicle the size and weight of a Durango, you should probably try stopping sooner. I have had mine for over 6 years now and have never had any problems with it other than normal wear and tear. I do know it takes quite a bit longer to get it to a stop than driving a smaller vehicle (such as a PT Cruiser that will stop on a dime). I love my truck so much, I refuse to trade it for one of those new ugly Durango's or anything else out there on the market today.

Faults:

PCM was replaced 365 days ago because the "Check Engine" light was on, even though it ran fine.

Engine just dies while driving for no reason. Seems to be heat related. Had it towed to dealer ship, when it decided to start. Dealership spent 4 days on it, but couldn't find the problem. Says it test drove just fine. After picking it up, it died 5 miles down the road. A couple of weeks later, after not using the vehicle while on vacation, sent to a different dealership. They said it needs a new PCM. Replaced again. Not sure if I can get this under warranty, since it is a different dealership, and now 3 weeks afetr the 12 month warranty. I still need to pick up, we'll see if that is the problem, like everyone elses's...
