A/C Cuts Out While Driving
2005 Dodge Durango
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Dodge dealer.
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.

I have had to replace this pain in the ass resistor every couple of months. I don't have a choice if I want heat in the winter or air in the summer. In the summer I could put the windows down but then I have to try to contend with what has been called the death noise with all the windows down. Your choices are go no where, freeze in the winter or suffocate in the summer. If I had the money I would not be own this vehicle.
