Durango

  • Automatic transmission

we were on the way home from taking my daughter to the doctor. my husband was driving down the interstate at 70 mph, all of the sudden the car died and we started losing speed. he pulled to the side of the road only to find out that it wouldn't start up. we checked the battery and it was fine. needless to say we had to be towed back into town along with my 3 year old and 1 year old with us. there has only been problems with this particular car.

So we bought our 2005 Dodge Durango used from a dealership and immediately had a problem, the tire pressure light was on. Funny thing was we did not have that option on the model we bought. Brought it to the ONLY DODGE DEALERSHIP in Fairbanks, Alaska and they said the vehicle was set to a better model then it was and corrected the problem and the light turned off finally. That was the beginning of the real nightmare. Once at a stop light it just turned off on me. Started right back up thankfully. Now there are nights when it gets turned off, but doesn't start up the next morning. Seems like about every 2 or 3 days we have this problem. Starts right up with a jump from someone though, and this is not always possible. We have had it brought to the dealership several times, and each time they say they cannot find a problem. Then we started having it towed to the dealership, once they said it started right up, the other time they had to jump it. The best part about the one time it "started right up" was that we had to let it sit there for 2 days, and when we went to get it they again said it was fine and we let it warm up. Upon getting in, we noticed the jumper cables in the front seat. Extremely pissed we were lied to, we went back into the workshop and raised hell. They said that it would not turn over, that it just clicked, but all the lights and other electronical stuff worked. They replaced the battery, and 3 days later it again started the not wanting to start issue. Sounds a lot like the complaint about the 2000 Dodge Durango, and this time when we bring it in I will stress that they look into the TRS Assembly. I am getting sick and tired of being late due to this vehicle.
