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.

On going Dodge Manifold Bolt problem starts as a small tick when engine is cold, sound like and confused as lifter ticking sound but engine sound quit in neutral under hood, but if you listen under the vehicle tick is louder the same tick you hear when driving and riding in vehicle. Noise get louder as problem goes on to explain why. When the problem is only a broken or missing manifold bolt this allow the exhaust to leak around manifold gasket as the engine heat causes the metal to swell the noise became quit. If problem is left unfixed gasket will became damaged resulting in tick to be louder at start and to continue even after engine is heated up.
