We realized that there was a problem the summer we bought our expensive brand new Durango. We were miserably hot in the car. We brought it back to the dealer and complained. They claim they stuck a thermometer into the vents and it read that the air flow was the right temperature. We brought it back a second time and complained. Again, they denied there was a problem. This summer we had a terrible heat wave and driving was almost impossible. My poor kids were soaking wet with sweat every time we drove in the car. (That's with the air blowing on Max A/C)

All my family can do is sweat our butts off until the car eventually cools off. The a/c is horrible and can only be on max for minimal performance. I hate the a/c.

The Durango has low airflow on outer vents, warm air from vent on cool days, A/C marginally acceptable, this A/C SUCKS! The dealer said "that is how they all are"! I know others who have these, and he is right, THEY ALL SUCK! I believe that the engine heats the firewall causing the vent to discharge warm air. I also believe that the duct design SUCKS SO BAD that the airflow is very low. Closing the lower center vents forces a slight breeze out the outer most vents. The one who designed this should be SHOT! I have a $36,000 hot box... Thanks a lot Mr. Iacoka, probably spelled wrong and I don't care! Chrysler should be ashamed of putting out system like this! I'm 46 years old and have had probably 20 vehicles in my life, this cooling system is the absolute worst of any and it's the most expensive vehicle that I have owned! Don't even get me started on the SUCKY GAS MILEAGE!
