WHEN IT'S IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE IT MAKES TURNING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT JUST WON'T TURN. I AM GROUNDING THIS VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO DODGE BUT AFTER READING ALL THE POSTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES IT APPEARS DODGE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EITHER.

REAR PASSENGER TIRE FAILED / COMPLETELY CAME APART AND INTO TWO PIECES WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD (PCH) THE SAFETY BRAKE CABLE WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I WAS TOWED HOME.

I WANT ALL THE TIRES REPLACED AS THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE WITH THESE TIRES THAT COULD RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. NITTO TIRES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST DUE TO FAILURE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-90 EASTBOUND AT 70 MPH MY 05 DODGE DURANGO SUDDENLY LOST MOMENTUM AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT UP. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE STILL IN GEAR BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY JUST OFF THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. EXAMINATION SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OKAY, THE REPAIR FACILITY FOUND THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN STRIPPED OUT. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN DISPLAYING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SELECTOR SWITCH. ALSO YOU COULD HEAR THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ACTIVATING WHILE UNLOCKING THE DOORS ??? RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY SUCH INCIDENCES OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. REPAIR COSTS ME $1403. BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THERE ARE REPORTS OF PEOPLE CHANGING OUT PARTS WITH NO FIX. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THE DEALER SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. REPAIR FACILITY SAID MY TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN TOTALLY STRIPPED OUT AS A RESULT OF WHATEVER CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I AM DISHEARTENED AS I LIKE THIS VEHICLE BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CHASING A FIX THAT MANY INCLUDING DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. WHATEVER ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. SEE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4148_DS482593

WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH (UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX) GET EXTREMELY HOT AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING PLASTIC.

I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR 2 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAYS OR VERY HIGHLY TRAVELED ROAD WAYS. EACH TIME, I HAVE HAD TO STOP AND RESTART THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT THREW A RANDOM MISFIRE CODE, BUT HAS NOT HAD A CODE SINCE. WE HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND THE 02 SENOR, BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. 90+ PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST WRECKING. THAT IS HOW I FOUND THIS SITE. THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED IN THE UTMOST URGENCY. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AND IT WORRIES ME EACH TIME I HAVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OR HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE TRUCK. THIS PUTS EVERYONE'S LIVES AT RISK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR TO EVEN TRADE THIS ONE IN ON SOMETHING. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND GUESSING AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK..
