FAILURE ON DODGE DURANGO 2001 AIR CONDITIONING. I HAVE TALKED TO 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN A DODGE DURANGO OLDER MODELS AND I NOTICED THAT ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME; THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I MYSELF BROUGHT MY 2001 DODGE DURANGO TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES MORE THEN 10 TIMES. EVERY TIME IS THE SAME STORY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIR .THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION OR IF IT IS I HAVE TO GO FASTER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR JUST TO GET A NICE BREEZE. *JB

A/C FAILED - EVAPORATOR BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - LABOR COSTS ARE ASTRONOMICAL!! I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL AS WELL AS THE DODGE INTREPID. *AK

AFTER A TIRE BLOW OUT, I WENT TO RETRIEVE THE SPARE ONLY TO FIND THAT IT WAS GONE. THE SPARE IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AND IS SUSPENDED BY A CABLE THAT LOWERS FROM THE TRUNK. WHEN I CHECK FOR THE SPARE, I ONLY FOUND A 4 INCH SECTION OF CABLE WITH A FRAYED END. IT APPEARS THE CABLE HAD BROKEN AND THE SPARE, WITH THE ALLOY WHEEL, MUST HAVE DROPPED TO THE GROUND AT SOME POINT. I HAD NO INDICATION THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE BEHIND ME HAD HIT THE SPARE AFTER IT BROKE LOOSE.

THE AIR CONDITION BLOW OUT HOT AIR NOT COLD AIR CAUSING PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. TS

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

ASH TRAY POORLY LOCATED. NO LIGHT IN OR AROUND THE ASH TRAY.

A/C FAILED THREE TIMES W/I FIRST 90 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALER STATES THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL PARTS, BUT FAILURE RETURNS. THEY HAVE OTHER VEHICLES PRESENTING WITH SAME PROBLEM. DEALER STATES THIS IS MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.*AK
