NHTSA — Air Bags Problems

2005 Dodge Durango (Page 2 of 5)

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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 already caught on fire.

Takata recall I almost got into a really bad accident yesterday with my family in the car ( my daughter was in the passenger seat). All I could think about was the airbag going off and killing my child due to metal fragments deploying from the airbag. We should not have to worry about these kind of things. We have enough to worry about in the road with crazy drivers as it is. It seems like the parts are never going to come in to fix our air bags. I want a car I can drive safely with my family until my airbag gets fixed. I think it is takatas duty to everyone to make them feel safe.

Car stalls at stop light. No reason. Car started shifting into all wheel drive by itself. I could hear it shifting as I opened driver door, and car was not on. Did not know what the noise was. Car sounded like it was grinding the gears when moved into drive. Towed to shop. Transmission guy could not figure out why it changed all by itself. Cargo lamp is one if I open rear hatch. It will only go off if I close the hatch twice. Now airbag light is on, since new battery was replaced.
