TAKATA RECALL I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL NOTICES IN THE MAIL THAT MY DODGE DURANGO HAS A RECALL FOR BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER ABOUT GETTING THE RECALL RECTIFIED 3 TIMES NOW BUT AM TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS ON HAND TO FIX. I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE CAN NOT BE FIXED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT DONE?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE AN AWD VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOB THAT YOU CAN SWITCH TO GO TO 4 LOCK. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SHIFTING INTO THIS MODE ALL BY ITSELF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHEN IT DOES THE VEHICLE KIND OF LOCKS UP AND BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR MAIN VEHICLE THAT WE USE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. HAS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, LOW SPEED, AND STATIONARY.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED THE CLOSES DEALER IN REGARD TO RECALL R25. THIS DEALER IS TWIN RIVERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 529 W COURT BEATRICE, NE 68310. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT GET TO THIS RECALL FOR 1 TO 1.5 YEARS. THIS DEALER IS APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES FROM ME. I CALLED A DEALER FURTHER AWAY, APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES. THEY TOLD ME I COULD SCHEDULE THE REPAIR FOR TOMORROW. I DID SCHEDULE THIS REPAIR FOR A WEEK AND HALF AWAY WITH THIS FURTHER DEALER. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE CLOSE DEAL FOR SOME REASON CAN NOT DO THE REPAIR IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME YET ONE OVER TWICE AS FAR AWAY CAN DO IT BASICALLY IMMEDIATELY.

I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND MADE THE COMPLAINT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND TOOK IT TO MIDAS AND ANOTHER CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT AND WHEN I LOOKED AT IT ONLINE IT SAID IT WAS THE COWL SO I WENT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND TOLD THEM. THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY HAD TO PRINT OFF WHAT EVERYONE ONE HAD COMPLAINED, SO THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER UNDER THE HOOD WHICH WAS 40 DOLLARS NOT THAT COSTLY. BUT STILL WHEN IT RAINS, IT RUNS ROUGH AND LIKE IT GOING TO DIE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS GOING TO NEW YORK. VERY SCARY GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND IT STARTING RAINING HARD ALL OF THE SUDDEN GOING 70 , DROP TO 30. TRUCKS ON MY BUTT. NOT A GOOD THING. STILL EVERY TIME IT RAINS HARD IT STILL HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ALMOST 3 YRS. AGO FOR 10,000 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE WARRANTY AND IT'S ABOUT OVER AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. SO EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO A REPAIR PLACE I HAVE TO PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT'S A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. SO BASCIALLY I CANT DRIVE MY CAR IN HEAVY RAIN.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS AND BODY ISSUES: WHEN YOU GO TO FILL UP THE GAS SPRAYS OUT. I HAVE A VERT STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND THE LOWER FINDER BY THE WHEEL WELL HAS RUSTED BADLY. MOTOR: WHENEVER THERE IS HEAVY RAIN, MY CAR WILL STOP RUNNING. MOST RECENTLY WHEN I TURN ON THE AC OR HEATER THE CAR STALLS. I ALSO JUST RECENTLY HAD TO CHANGE OUT A MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSED ANOTHER SET OF PROBLEMS. I OWNED A DURANGO BEFORE THIS ONE AND LOVED IT. THIS ONE HAS CHANGED MY MIND AND I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER.

THE TRANSFER CASE WILL SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND I UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS NOT VERY SAFE AND CAN ALSO CAUSE VERY EXPENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE POWERTRAIN.

RECENTLY WHEN RAIN FALLS HEAVILY THE ENGINE STARTS SPUTTING & CUTS OFF THEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC & THEY PUT THE MACHINE ON IT. IT SHOWS NOTHING IS WRONG. PUT KEEPS DOING IT ONLY WHEN HEAVY RAINS FALLS. FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS TO DODGE & FOUND OUT ITS THE COWLING. CHANGED THE COWLING BUT ITS STILL DOING IT. ITS A DODGE PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM & ITS COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY
