2002 Dodge Durango Other Problems

Your gear shifter gets stuck in Park after starting the vehicle and won't move into other gears. You have to manipulate it repeatedly until it finally releases. This problem started a couple of months ago and happens intermittently. A temporary fix involves spraying lubricant on the gear lock mechanism under the shift column boot, but the underlying cause needs to be addressed to prevent it from happening again.

CAR WOULD STICK IN PARK. IN TRYING TO MOVE LEVER FROM PARK TO D, THE BRACKET ASSEMBLY HOLDING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER HAS BROKEN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON 2002 DODGE DURANGOS. I DID NOT KNOW THE BRACKET WAS BROKEN AT FIRST AND AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS RUNNING, THE CAR SLIPPED DOWN INTO REVERSE. I WAS ALREADY AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN IT STARTED MOVING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!

I PURCHASED A 2002 DODGE DURANGO SLT IN MAY OF 2002. WHEN I PURCHASED IT I ASKED IF IT HAS A RECYCLE AIR OPTION AND WAS TOLD IT DID, AND WAS SHOWED WHAT IT WAS. IT WORKED FINE IN HOT OR WARM WEATHER, BUT DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT IS VERY COLD. THAT FEATURE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND FEEL THAT THEY ARE MISLEADING CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY SAY IT HAS RECYCLE AIR, BUT DON'T THEN TELL YOU THAT IT DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. I'M STUCK BUYING THIS CAR FOR 6 MORE YEARS. I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HAD I KNOWN THE RECYCLE AIR DID NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A HONDA AND A MITSUBISHI THAT WORKED JUST FINE IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT, "IT DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT IS COLD!"
