ENGINE | 7/21/2014 - AURORA, CO
I HAD LET MY DURANGO SIT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS STARTING IT ONCE A WEEK. ONE DAY I WENT OUT TO START IT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SHUT IT OFF THEN TRY TO RESTART THE CAR THEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG WITH REALLY LOUD KNOCKING. IMMEDIATLY I KNEW IT WAS A ROD. I AM SO ANGRY WITH DODGE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER I TOOK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE WATER ISSUE AND OF COURSE THEY DIDNT FIND A PROBLEM OR ONE THAT THEY WANTED TO SHARE WITH ME. NOW THE DURANGO SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL I DECIDE TO GET IT FIXED NOT SURE I WANT TO IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.THANK GOD I BOUGHT A KIA OPTIMA RIGHT BEFORE THIS HAPPENED OR I WOULD BE WITHOUT A CAR. PEOPLE WONDER WHY WE NO LONGER BUY AMERICAN CARS THE COST THEN THEY DONT STAND BY THE PRODUCT...THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX!!!* HUSBAND HAS A DODGE 1500 BUT WE WILL NEVER BY DODGE AGAIN!!!!!!

WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS OR STARTS TO FAIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. THE SAID SITUATION WHEN THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK HAS OCCURRED 7 TIMES. AT TIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL LIGHT UP AND BE NOT LIT WHEN THE TRUCK IS RESTARTED. ON ONE OCCASION MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK, THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE CAM SENSOR, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND SHE ROLLED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE | 7/8/2014 - NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR
I CHANGED THE OIL IN MY DURANGO ON MAY 3 2014. THE SUV THEN SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR TWO WEEKS, DURING WHICH IT RAINED ALMOST EVERY DAY. I WENT TO START THE SUV IT STARTED FINE THEN I HEARD A KNOCK THEN A LOUD TAPPING. THE ENGINE HAS SINCED LOCKED UP AND IS A PAPER WEIGHT NOW. THIS SUV WAS A DAILY DRIVER AND THE TWO WEEKS WAS THE LONGEST THAT IT HAS EVER SAT WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. UNTIL THIS ISSUE I'VE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THIS SUV. I'VE SINCE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR CASES ON THIS MODEL SUV. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE BECAUSE I'M STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS.

ENGINE | 7/7/2014 - BARRINGTON, NH
DRIVING TO A VACATION DESTINATION, ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH. ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BADLY AND MAKE A CLACKING NOISE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT MAY BE A FLAT, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT LOSE CONTROL. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED BACK TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHO ADVISED THE ENGINE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. I SEARCHED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2004/ENGINE/ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML IT SEEMS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DODGE HAS FAILED TO CORRECT IT.

EXITED FROM FREEWAY, CAR STATED TO SHAKE. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IN BRIDGTON MAINE. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THERE IS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. HAVE CHECKED THE WEB FOR ANY SIMILAR ISSUES. FOUND 100 OF COMPLAINTS FOR LOW MILEAGE 2004 DODGE DURANGOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY WATER ENTERS THE ENGINE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND RUSTS A HOLE IN THE IRON BLOCK, THUS LEAKING OIL. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2004/ENGINE/ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML WHEN THESE ENGINES SEIZE ON A HIGHWAY RESULT WILL BE DEADLY. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED.
