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.

Developed an annoying ticking in the engine. ticking is loud as mess when started...but eventually quiets down...still can hear it in the cabin. Mechanic told me it its a leak in the exhaust manifold. Aside from this latest issue - I've had problems with this vehicle from the start. Shift solenoid messed up, idler pulley reduced to nothing...can not wait to get rid of this truck
