My mom drives hers and there is a knocking every so often in the engine. The dealership thought she was nuts, and so did I. She took us all for a ride one day and we heard it. They still don't know what the hell it was...

problem #1

Durango Limited 4.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles

In summer 2007, my 2005 Durango starts having a knocking noise in the engine/drivetrain that can also be felt while driving. It only happens when the vehicle is warm. I took it in for repairs and they said they could not duplicate the problem. The second time I took it in for the same problem, I went with the mechanic on a test drive and he said "oh, that noise." Anyhow, I had the vehicle in for service 5 times with that dealer and so far 3 times with another and they are still unable to identify/solve the problem. I am deeply frustrated! This has cost me a lot of money not to mention time and a lot of anguish! Although I was a loyal Dodge customer for the last 15 years, I will never buy one again!
