The contact owns a 2002 Dodge Durango. The vehicle was repaired in 2007 according to NHTSA campaign id number 06V339000 (electrical system). Afterwards, the heating unit failed to work properly. There were no failures prior to the recall repair. The contact also smelled a burning odor whenever the heating unit was activated. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under recall and they could no longer assist. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 100,500.
1-electrical system on overhead digital compass system became very hot. This electrical component system did not work for a period of a few days. It has intermittently worked now. 2-when you turn the steering wheel there is a horrible noise coming from one of the rear wheels. It makes a "woo-woo" sound every time the vehicle is turned, primarily turning right. A "honest" mechanic, who is a friend, told me that Dodge (Chrysler) was infamous for this type of wheel problem. 3-the transmission seems to have a hard time shifting, which involves the above wheel problem. 4-the air conditioning system does not cool and the vehicle is only 4 years old. 5-the leather covered dash is peeling up and began last summer, when the vehicle was only 3 years old. Contacted Chrysler/Dodge hq and dealership and both have refused to repair problem.
