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.

Went to a dealer, they said there was no recall on the rust. It started on the rear and went to the front. Tried to search on the internet for recalls it came up my vin number is not valid.

Durango Limited 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

All doors (including lid/hatch) is rusting out at the bottom. The rust was small and located only on the seam of the door at the bottom, then spread FAST to the outside. It now bleeds rust all over the running boards. This is not an easy fix nor will it be cheap!
