2006 Dodge Durango Electrical Problems

Your vehicle may suddenly stop running and shut off the fuel pump, leaving you stranded even though you have a full tank of gas. This is caused by a faulty computer module (TIPM/PCM) that controls the fuel system. The dealer can fix this by installing a relay bypass to restore fuel pump operation.

Your vehicle wouldn't start while parked, and when it finally did start, multiple warning lights flashed on the dashboard including an unknown red warning light. Two different dealerships diagnosed the problem as a faulty instrument cluster and recommended replacement, but the issue continued even after one repair attempt. The warning lights and starting problems keep coming back.

Your liftgate opens with the key fob but immediately drops back down on its own, creating a safety hazard if someone is loading groceries—you need a second person to hold it up. Additionally, your left sliding door won't lock or unlock with the key fob like your other doors do, requiring manual operation. A couple years ago, the left sliding door wouldn't close electronically or manually, forcing you to drive home in the rain with it wide open. The liftgate support struts and the left door lock mechanism likely need replacement to resolve these issues.

Your dashboard lights have stopped working. The dealer has indicated there is no technical bulletin or recall available for this issue, meaning it may not be a widespread known problem.

MY VEHICLE STARTED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IT'S SWITCHING MY TIRES FROM ALL WHEEL DRIVE TO EITHER 4LOW OR 4LOCK WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I CAN'T HARDLY GET MY VEHICLE TO TURN WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT DOES THIS. I HAD MY ENGINE ON AND IN PARK AND HEARD THE NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH. IT'S THE SAME EXACT NOISE THAT'S MADE WHEN I SWITCH FROM AWD TO EITHER 4LOW OR 4WD. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I FEEL IT MAINLY WHEN I'M MAKING A TURN.

MY DASH PANEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF MY YEAR BUT MY VIN WAS INCLUDED. THIS NEEDS TO BEE LOOKED AT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. AFTERWARDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE AND CARGO INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (PERRY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, LOCATED AT 2340 NATIONAL CITY BLVD NATIONAL CITY, CA 91950 888-707-2601) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CODES NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

2006 DODGE DURANGO ECM FAIL 2006 DODGE DURANGO FUEL OVERSPILLS

VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS WELL AS NOT STARTING AT IRREGULAR MOMENTS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO REPAIR SHOP. EACH TIME TO HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT FIXED, FIRST TIME IT WAS BATTERY AND LEADS, NEXT IT WAS ALTERNATOR, THEN NEW BELT , AND AFTER EACH FIX THE PROBLEM WOULD COME BACK, FINALLY AN HONEST MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT I HAD TO REMOVE LEADS TO BATTERY FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE CAR COULD CRANK AGAIN. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. HE CHECKED CAM SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR - ALL GOOD TOO. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OVER TWO YEARS. THE WORST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS NOT PRINCIPAL CITY STREET AT RUSH HOUR WITH 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE, I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING THE CHILDREN OUT OF THE STALLED VEHICLE AND SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BEFORE PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMS OLDER DODGE DURANGOS LIKE MINE FROM 2006 HAVE THIS COME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T A SOURCE TO THIS PROBLEM BEEN IDENTIFIED AND A MANUFACTURER RECALL SOLUTION BEEN PROVIDED? TWICE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND NEW EXPENSES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS WERE PRESCRIBED, AND NONE FIXED THE PROBLEM. MUST THE PUBLIC WAIT UNTIL SOME DIES ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO STALLED VEHICLES HAVE MORE ACCIDENTS AND THEN DEATHS?

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A COUNTRY ROAD ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND SHE HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES AND HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN SHE TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT BUT THE STARTER WOULD NOT CRANK THE ENGINE. SHOP SAYS THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED. *TR

RECALL # 07V092000 THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2006 DURANGO BUT MY VIN NUMBER ISNT ONE LISTED. HOWEVER IT IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I THINK THAT THIS THAT THIS IN NUMBER GOT LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION, IT BECAME STUCK AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE CONTACT HAD A LOCK SMITH APPLY FORCE TO THE AREA AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 15V313000 (AIR BAGS), AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS), THE VEHICLE FAILED TO LOCK ELECTRONICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT SOME NUMBERS WERE ERASED WHEN THE PREVIOUS RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE KEY COULD NOT BE RESET BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A PAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE DASH PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RECALL NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

SINCE JULY 2015 MY DURANGO HAS BEEN STALLING. WHETHER I AM TURNING, STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT TURNS OFF, BUT TURNS BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN PULLING, ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING, LIKE I AM LOSING POWER. ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY, FACTORY SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND SEVERAL OIL CHANGES. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND THEY TELL ME IT IS ONE THING AND FIX IT AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ANOTHER TELLS ME SOMETHING ELSE AND FIX IT AND IT CONTINUES.

ON 6/14/2015 I WAS ABOUT TO BACK MY TRAILER INTO MY YARD, WHEN MY GEAR SHIFT COLUMN SELECTOR LOCKED IN PARK. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. PRIOR TO ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION FOR IT WAS LOCKING AND WOULD NOT TURN TO THE ON POSITION OR ACCESSORIES POSITION. IT COST ME $400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW IGNITION TO BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND NOW I HAVE WORSE PROBLEMS THAN BEFORE. SO I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND HERE IS MY FINDINGS: 1) SAFETYRECALL G28 -IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK IN 2001 AND 2002 MODELS FOR MANY VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDED THE DURANGO. 2) THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK CONNECTOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED WILL NOT ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO MOVE. SO IF THE DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THESE RECALLS WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED TWICE BEFORE THE CONTACT OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERNAL LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE DOORS LOCKED WITH NO WARNING. THE FAILURES OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SIX TIMES. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT KEPT RECURRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILED COMPONENT AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/01/15*LJ UPDATED 10/25/2017*CN

NO CRANK TO MY ENGINE, SECURITY SYSTEM JUST LOCKED THE CAR UP. BEEN TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX IT. IT CANT BE DONE WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE I REFUSE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER REVIEWING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE I AM QUITE FRUSTRATED WITH THE FACT THAT I KNOW IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY TRANSPONDER. I HAVE NEVER REALLY HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, OTHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I SEE ALL TOO COMMON ACROSS THE INTERNET AND YET DODGE IS NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS NOR TRYING TO FIX IT FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE CAR OR TRUCK AGAIN. *TR

APPROXIMATELY DURING SUMMER OF 2013, UPON STARTING ENGINE, THE IGNITION WOULD "STICK" WHEN KEY WAS TURNED FORWARD. DURANGO WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND KEY TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH TO TRY IT AGAIN. THEN, UPON SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND BACKING UP, THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN ABRUPT HALT AND BE IMMOVABLE FOR A TIME, USUALLY UNTIL PUTTING INTO PARK AND RE-STARTING VEHICLE. THIS IS WHEN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED AT WHICH TIME THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED IN PLACE, CAUSING BLACK SKID MARKS FROM ITS POINT OF TOW TO TOW TRUCK. THE AUTO SHOP REPLACED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH WAS "STUCK OR LOCKED IN POSITION". MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF TEMPORARILY. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN IN AUGUST, 2014. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP TO DIAGNOSE. AFTER 677.74 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS, LIGHT STILL REMAINS ON. *TR

UPON FIRST PURCHASING AT A DEALERSHIP THE PURCHASE WAS AS A USED VEHICLE, SO NO WARRANTY IS OR WAS IN PLACE. A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN FILLING THE TANK AT A GAS STATION THE FIRST INCIDENT OF PROPULSION OF GASOLINE FORCING OUT OF THE TANK, FIRST HAPPENED. THEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE THE MOTOR WOULD NOT START. USING AN OBD TO CHECK CODES THERE WAS NO ERROR CODES BUT STILL ENDED UP CLEARING IT ANYWAYS WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO START (WHICH MEANS ITS THE COMPUTER). NOW, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP, CHECKED THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR FOR THE WINDOW IS FINE, BUT CHECKING THE SWITCH IT WOULD ONLY UNLOCK DOOR, NOT ALLOW LOCK AND ABSOLUTELY NO WINDOW CONTROL AT ALL FROM EITHER THE PASSENGER DOOR SWITCH OR DRIVER SIDE SWITCH. WHEN LOOKING AT THE SWITCHES TURNS OUT THAT THE CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE NOT SOLDERED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ANY OF THE PROBLEMS FIXED FOR ANYONE NOW WOULD BE FOR A RECALL, BECAUSE THE YEAR BEING 2014 NO WARRANTY WILL COVER ANY PROBLEMS THAT I OR ANYONE ELSE IS FACING! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A BUMP ON THE ROAD, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER AND THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,835.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE RADIO FAILED TO OPERATE SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURED, THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2007. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS FAULTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO, BOUGHT IT USED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO, APPROXIMATELY MARCH OF 2013, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AND AFTER IT HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES WE FIGURED OUT THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS WET/RAINING OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN GOING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY...TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE JERK NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUTOFF (AKA NO POWER AT ALL!). WE HAVE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS SINCE SPRING OF 2013 TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR DEALER TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM...FIGURED OUT IT WAS ELECTRICAL (POSSIBLY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARE USED...)BUT THAT WAS ABOUT AS FAR AS WE GOT. SOME OF THE THINGS THEY FOUND AND/OR FIXED OR REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS: WIRING THAT WAS FRAYED, RE-GROUND NUMEROUS WIRES, REPLACED A HANDFUL OF SENSORS, RESEALED CONNECTIONS BETWEEN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND MAIN MODULE (AS WELL AS RESEALED THE BOXES THEMSELVES SINCE WATER WAS FOUND IN THEM), REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL MODULE ($2K), AND REPLACED ENTIRE ELECTRICAL BOX(WHICH INCLUDED HAVING TO RE-WIRE)...FOUND A USED ONE SINCE BRAND NEW WOULD HAVE BEEN $1200! . I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN THAT THERE WAS A PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE (AND HOPEFULLY RECALL) VEHICLES THAT HAVE SITUATIONS SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE BUT THEY REFERENCE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED 2007 AND FORWARD BUT OUR 2006 IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES!! SINCE IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER LAST (LESS THAN A MONTH AGO) WE HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS A STRETCH OVER THE WINTER WHERE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL EITHER SO I AM NOT CONVINCED IT IS FIXED...IT SEEMS THE DEALER MECHANIC IS ABOUT OUT OF IDEAS AND SO ARE WE... *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I TRIED TO USE MY BRIGHTS, BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD KEEP COMING ON INSTEAD. WHEN THE BRIGHTS DID COME ON THEN THEY WOULDN'T TURN OFF. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN I USE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THAT THE RIGHT SIGNAL WOULD COME ON AND THE TWO SIGNALS WOULD FLICKER BACK AND FORTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNALS, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD ACTIVATE INSTEAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES HAD MALFUNCTIONED INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANT NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL AWAY. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE BRAKES BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN FUELING UP GASOLINE WILL SHOOT OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND & VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE RUST STARTING. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO SO WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? I WOULD THINK THE EPA WOULD MAKE DODGE MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL. LUCKILY WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE IN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX; THE DEALER DID SAY HE COULD ORDER THE PART TO FIX THAT. IT WOULD BE COVERED AT NO COST TO ME. THEN WHY WASN'T IT RECALLED IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? INTERESTING?! I AM THINKING THAT I MAY NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN. I AM SURE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TOO. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL COME ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING. (BOTH THE PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDES LIGHTS SEEMED TO ALTERNATE.) THIS TIME ALSO THE 4 WHEEL LOCK LIGHT BLINKED ON & OFF DURING THE 50 MILE TRIP GOING 70 MPH. WHEN I TURNED ON MY WIPERS THERE WAS A CHIME/DING. ONCE WHEN I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW THE WIPERS CAME ONE. ANOTHER TRIP TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ACTING UP & I TURNED ON MY BLINKER TO CHANGE LANES THE WIPERS CAME ON. I ALSO JUST REALIZED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER UNLOCK WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I HAVE TO MANUALLY DO IT NOW. ALSO IT USED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND THAT HAS BEEN ACTING UP PERIODICALLY. THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED, I JUST TOOK IT TO BRIGGS DODGE IN TOPEKA, KS AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THESE ISSUES AND SHOW NOTHING WHEN THEY HOOKED IT UP. THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS A "STAR CASE" ON FILE AND THAT STATES THAT DRIVERS ARE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS TO OCCUR. (I TOTALLY DISAGREE& THINK THIS IS A COP OUT) THEY ARE TELLING ME I GENERATE TOO MUCH STATIC ELECTRICITY! I FIND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED AND FRUSTRATED. I GUESS WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM ONE OF THESE FAILING, THEN MAYBE THEY WILL OWN UP TO THE PROBLEMS AND FIX THEM. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 DURANGO WITH OUT THE CHIP KEY, I STICK MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO START IT BUT IT WON'T TURN AS IF IT'S THE WRONG KEY OR THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IS ENABLED. IT HAPPENED MORE TWICE A DAY OVER THE LAST WEEK IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY THIRD TIME I TURN ON MY TRUCK BUT WITH A LITTLE GIGGLING OF THE KEY AND STEERING WHEEL IT WENT. THEN LAST NIGHT AT 6:30AM I STOP BY MOMS HOUSE TO GET ME A COFFEE ON MY WAY HOME.. GET BACK TO MY TRUCK AND THE KEY JUST WOULDN'T TURN MY IGNITION... NOTHING WORKED, GIGGLE THE KEY OR REEFING ON THE STEERING WHEEL... FINALLY AFTER A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR OF TRYING I FINALLY MANAGED TO TURN THE IGNITION AFTER JAMMING THE KEY IN THERE PRETTY HARD A FEW TIMES... ANYWAYS I MANAGED TO GET HOME SINCE I WAS STILL BOUT HALF HOUR AWAY AT THE TIME.. *TR

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS/ WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON, AND THE ODOMETER AND RPM GAUGES BOUNCE FROM ZERO TO LIKE 5000 RPM WHILE DRIVING. THE AC AND RADIO AND DVD AND NAVIGATION ALL SHUT OFF AND ON ALSO WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO CROWN MOTORS ON JUNE 21 AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TESTS RAN AND NOTHING CAME UP ALL WAS FINE. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN WHEN IT DID IT AND TO LEAVE IT RUN WHEN I GO INSIDE TO LET THEM KNOW. I TOOK BACK DOWN THERE ON JUNE 24 AS IT WAS DOING IT ALL AGAIN. THEY IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND STATED YOU DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING WRONG. THEY TOLD AFTER AN HOUR THAT THEY COULD ONLY GET THE READING UP TO THE ECM AND ANYTHING AFTER THAT IT IS NOT SHOWING UP THAT IT IS DEAD. THEY CALLED THE LEAD ENGINEER AT DODGE TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION. I TALKED TO THEM ON JUNE 25 AND STILL NO ANSWER. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT $10 IN GAS AND WAS GOING TO CHARGE THAT TO ME AS THEY LOST THE SIGNAL TO DIAGNOSTIC SUE TO TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THEY DROVE AROUND FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES TO TRY AND REESTABLISH THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT HAPPENED. I CALLED THEM TODAY JUNE 27,2013 AND TOLD I COULD COME AND PICK UP THE VEHICLE AS THEY CAN NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DO THE PROBLEMS AGAIN TO REESTABLISH THE CONNECTIONS. THEY ALSO SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO JUST BRING IT BACK OVER SO THEY CAN REESTABLISH THE CONNECTION FOR THE PROBLEMS. I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES. THEY DEALER TOLD THEY WERE ALL CLOSED OUT AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DURANGO. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN IT DUE TO A POSSIBLE FIRE LIKE SOME HAVE HAD OR THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY VEHICLE SAYS SVC 4WD THEN GOES INTO 4LO & 4LOCK WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT. IT LOCKS UP & SWITCHES ON ITS OWN WHILE IM DRIVING. SWITCHES INTO 4WD WHILE IT IS PARKED & THE TRUCK IS OFF. WHEN U USE THE UNLOCK REMOTE IT SWITCHES IT ALSO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS & THE MECHANIC SAYS NO CODES SHOW UP EVEN WHEN THE SVC 4WD LIGHT IS ON. *TR

WHILE USING MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, MY RIGHT BLINKERS CAME ON. WHILE USING MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, MY LEFT BLINKERS CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. MORE RECENTLY, MY WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY BLINKERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. *TR

RIGHT TURN WORK IN REAR, BUT NOT IN THE FRONT, LEFT SIDE WORK OPPOSITE, HEAD LIGHT LEFT WORK ON LOW, BUT NOT ON HIGH, RIGHT WORK OPPOSITE, FOG LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. *TR

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS WHEN IT IS COLD AND WET OUT. WILL INDICATE RIGHT TURN WHEN TURNING LEFT AND VISE VERSA, HIGH BEAM ALSO MALFUNCTIONS AND WILL SOMETIMES TURN ON WASHER FLUID, WIPER FUNCTION ALSO NOT WORKING RIGHT WHEN OTHERS FAIL. SEEMS TO BE WHEN IT IS WET AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER INTERNET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL READINGS AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ISSUES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY ON A SLOW INTERMITTENT SPEED. ONLY THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKS, AND WILL ACTIVATE WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IS PUSHED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (THE RIGHT SIGNAL ONLY WILL BLINK). THIS SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED IN 2008 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THERE IS NOW 75,000 MILES. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND WE HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH THE RADIO, A/C, WIPERS, WINDOWS AND EVERYTHING IN THE INTERIOR. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS FIXED DURING A RECALL. WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS FIXED ONCE FOR THE RECALL AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER AGAIN TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN WITH NO LIGHTS!!!! *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION THE VEHICLE WOULD START BY ITSELF WITHOUT GOING TO THE START POSITION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DO THIS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH COST US $300. *TR

I HAVE 06 DODGE DURANGO,WIPER COME ONE AND OFF ,HEAD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF, THERE WAS A RECALL IN A PART IN DASH SO I TOOK IT TO DEALER TO REPAIR AND TO ALSO FIX LIGHT AND WIPERS AND THEY SAID MAYBE RECALL PART FIXED EVERYTHING,WELL IT DIDN'T SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY CANT FIND PROBLEM,NOW LIGHTS STILL BLINK WIPERS STILL COME ON AND OFF AND HEATER AND AIR DOESN'T BLOW NOW THEY SAID IM NOT UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE PART THAT IT NEEDS ,SO THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 430.00 FOR A 10.00 PART SO I BOUGHT IT MYSELF AND PUT IT ON AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK .I HAVE EX. WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IF THE LIGHTS GOT WORSE TO BRING IT BACK IN WELL I DID AND THEY SAID THEY CANT HELP ME,WELL I FILL LIKE IM JUST GETTING A RUN AROUND AND MY DURANGO IS A RECALL ITSELF. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND OVER THE SUMMER WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO STARTED AND STOPPED WORKING, MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM STARTING BLINKING, AND THEN FINALLY MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. WE FOUND BOTH OF THE RELAYS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON OUR DURANGO FULL OF WATER BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DENIED EVER HEARING OF THIS ISSUE AND STARTED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. WE SHOOK OUT THE RELAYS, LEFT THEM UNPLUGGED OVERNIGHT, AND USED A HAIR DRYER TO DRY ANY REMAINING MOISTURE. AS LONG AS I KEEP MY VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND UNPLUG THE RELAY AFTER WE WASH THE CAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT WE COULD NOT GET TO GO OUT. OVER THE WEEKEND I HEARD ON HEADLINE NEWS THAT THE 2008 DODGE CARAVANS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP INQUIRES ABOUT THE MILEAGE ON YOUR VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT "GOODWILL" REPAIRS BUT NOT HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES. I'M NOT SURE IF 75,000 MILES IS CONSIDERED LOW OR HIGH BUT WHAT IS AT ISSUE IS THAT DODGE KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT CORRECTING IT ON ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ONLY ON THEIR 2008S. *TR

IT ALL STARTED WHEN I TOOK MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO IN TO CHANGE A FUSE. ( WAS UNDER WARRANTY). ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE FOLLOWING STARTED. HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING DAY OR NIGHT, TURN SIGNAL WILL GO ON & OFF, DOME LIGHTS WILL GO ON& OFF, WIPERS WITH WASH WILL GO ON & OFF, & THE RADIO WILL CHANGE CHANNELS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DAY OR NIGHT NO MATTER THE TEMPS. LATELY SEEMS LIKE THE HEAT & COOL AIR DON'T BLOW FOR THE FLOOR. IT WAS AT THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES & NO ANSWERS. I DID CONTACT DODGE ITSELF & NOW THEY MAY HAVE A FIX FOR $500 FOR ME BUT NOT TOTALLY SURE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

HAVE HAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, AFTER HAVING RECALL FOR INTERIOR LIGHTING PERFORMED THE AUTO FEATURE OF POWER DOOR UNLOCK CEASED TO WORK. THAT WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. NOW THE AUTO UNLOCK AND LOCK FEATURE HAVE BOTH QUIT WORKING ONCE AGAIN. WILL NOT REPROGRAM WITH PROCEDURE IN OWNERS MANUAL. FEEL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL NEED REPLACING AGAIN. I DO HAVE EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY TO 70K MILES, BUT AM CONCERNED IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING, WHAT ACTION DO I TAKE? *TR

ALTERNATOR GROUND BURNED. MELTED TERMINAL/NUT TO THE NUB, BURNED THROUGH THE CABLE AND CONNECTOR, PLASTIC SHIELDING OF OTHER HARNESS SHIELDING MELTED. SIGNIFICANT HEAT/ PROBABLE FIRE PRESENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, DURING COLD WEATHER 40 DEGREES AND LOWER THE WIPER BLADES & LIGHTS, INTERIOR & EXTERIOR ACTIVATE ON THEIR OWN. *TR

HI, MY NAME IS [XXX] , AND I NEED SOME HELP. JANUARY 9TH 2007 I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO FROM BUDDY JONES FORD IN GREENWOOD MISSISSIPPI. ON MAY 31ST 2008, THE TRUCK BURN TO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT; SHE BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE TRUCK IN TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS AT A LOST OF UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN. SO I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SURF THE INTERNET TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PARTICULAR SUV HAD AN INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WOULD OVERHEAT AND SOMETIMES IGNITE INTO FLAMES. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAD EXPERIENCED THEY'RE DODGE DURANGO'S BURNING TO GROUND, WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE. SO I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO PLEAD MY CASE. AT THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL, AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN QUESTION. THEN THEY AGREED TO SEND A LOCAL CONTRACTED INSPECTOR TO CHECK OUT MY VEHICLE. THE CONCLUSION OF HIS INSPECTION WAS THAT THE TRUCK BURNED THROUGH NO FAULT OF CHRYSLER'S DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PROVE THEM WRONG, OR HAVE IT INSPECTED MYSELF. MY INSURANCE HAD LAPSED AT THAT TIME, AND I KNOW THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. BUT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT IS NOT USABLE, AND THE COMPANY THAT FINANCED IT IS LOOKING FOR THEY'RE MONTHLY PAYMENT. WITH I CAN NOT AFFORD BECAUSE I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. SO I HAVE DONE A VOLUNTEER REPOSSESSION AND THEY WILL PICK THE TRUCK UP SOON. ONCE THEY GET IT I STILL WILL BE FORCED TO PAY FOR IT THROUGH GARNISHMENT, WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. IN THE OTHER CASES IN WHICH THIS SAME TRUCK BURNED TO THE GROUND, CHRYSLER DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT THEY'RE FAULT EVEN WITH SUCH A RECALL ON THEM. VEHICLES DO NOT JUST BURN UP FOR NO REASON, SO PLEASE HELP DEAL WITH CHRYSLER. ALSO, I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE UNTIL JUNE 16, 2008. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO CAUGHT ON FIRE FOUR WEEKS AGO WHILE MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT. THE TRUCK HAD ONLY BEEN RUNNING A TOTAL OF TENS. IT APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. ONCE I DISCOVERED THE RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OVERHEATING, I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SENT A LOCAL CONTRACTED INSPECTOR OUT TO TAKE PICTURE. THEN A WEEK LATER THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASES A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL). THE DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR; HOWEVER, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ONE WEEK LATER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT AWOKE TO THE SMELL OF SMOKE, LOOKED OUT HER WINDOW, AND NOTICED HER ENTIRE GARAGE IN FLAMES. THE FIRE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE THREE STORY HOME AND KILLED THE FAMILY CAT. THREE VEHICLES WERE ALSO DESTROYED: A 2006 DURANGO, 1996 GRAND AM, AND A 2001 FORD TAURUS. SHE SPOKE WITH DODGE TO FIND OUT IF THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY THE DURANGO, BUT DODGE RULED OUT THAT POSSIBILITY. THIS WAS AN ISSUE RAISED BY INVESTIGATORS. THE CONTACT LATER SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DURANGO. ON MAY 30, 2007, SHE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE # 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL). THE # OF CYLINDERS WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 6,000. UPDATED 7/9/15*CN UPDATED 9/18/15 *JS

DURING TIMES OF LOW TEMPERATURES (BELOW 40 DEGREES) THE FOLLOWING OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THE RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, THE RADIO VOLUME SPONTANEOUSLY GOES DOWN, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE AIRBAG INDICATE THE AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE GLITCHES; HOWEVER THESE ARE THE ONES THAT STAND OUT. THIS MORNING, HOWEVER, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS APPROXIMATELY 22 DEGREES. I SET THE CRUISE FOR 75, WHEN I REVIEWED THE SPEED, THE VEHICLE HAD ACCELERATED TO 95 AND THE CRUISE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EITHER BY THE CRUISE CONTROL CONTROLS OR BY BRAKING. IN FACT THE BRAKES HAD DIFFICULTY SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN TO 75 AND WHEN RELEASED THE VEHICLE WOULD AGAIN ACCELERATE. WHEN PLACED INTO NEUTRAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED REVVING AND WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE IT AGAIN ACCELERATED. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BY PLACING IT IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUE TO PUSH HARD ON THE BRAKES, I MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. IT THEN WOULD NOT RE-START. THE IGNITION WOULDN'T TURN OVER FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PREVIOUS IRREGULARITIES AND ADVISED THEY WOULD BE TALKING TO THE SUPPORT CENTER TODAY. THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT THEY ARE AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.*JB

AIR CONDITIONING NOT COOLING PROPERLY. TESTED VENT TEMPERATURES IN IDENTICAL CONDITIONS USING AN INFRARED TEMPERATURE PROBE AND A NORMAL ANALOG TEMPERATURE PROBE. USED 1997 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER IN TEST WITH MY NEW 2006 DODGE DURANGO. TESTED INITIAL LEFT CENTER VENT TEMP AND THE TEMP AFTER 1, 2, 3, 4 AND 5 MINUTES USING THE DASH VENTS ONLY AND MAX COOL AND MAX FAN. THE NINE YEAR OLD MOUNTAINEER VENT TEMP WAS 9 OR 10 DEGREES COOLER AFTER 5 MINUTES. THE OLDER VEHICLE COOLED FASTER AND PROVIDED COLDER AIR TEMPS. THIS TESTING WAS DONE AFTER NOTICING THE DURANGO WASN'T COOLING AS WELL AS MY OLD MOUNTAINEER. *JB
