CarComplaints.com Notes: The second generation Durango was introduced in 2004 and instantly came under fire for, well, catching on fire.
From 2004-2006 electrical overloading in the driver's side instrument panel caused numerous reports of interior fires. The interior infernos became so commonplace that Chrysler eventually issued a recall.
The problems didn't stop there, however. Owners of the recalled vehicles complained about being treated unfairly and given take-it-or-leave-it low ball settlement offers. "They offered me $2000 under NADA retail as a settlement," said one owner, "and have been rude and hostile to deal with." Nothing says awesome service like treating your customers rudely after their cars have caught on fire.
Have we mentioned all the reports of complete engine failure due to oil sludge?

Yes it is unbelievable, and I too am still waiting on the same part. Been waiting since March 8th. Calling Dodge gets you no where! I've called multiple times and all I have gained is that they now call me once or twice a week to tell me they still don't have it, but they are working on it. I am the disgusted owner of my last Dodge Product EVER!!!!!
