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. *TR

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. *TR

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!! *TR

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.*AK

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. *TT

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.*AK

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.*AK

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. *AK
