ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED THERE IS A NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION SWITCHING IN AND OUT OF ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND SWITCHING BACK TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF. ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN PARKED ONLY SO FAR. I'M AFRAID COULD SWITCH DURING DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ALSO WHEN HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT ANOTHER CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING BESIDE MY TRUCK. I SOON REALIZED IT WAS MY VEHICLE MAKING THIS NOISE ISSUE?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RIGHT MANIFOLD STUDS WERE BROKEN AND THE REPAIR WAS GOING TO COST $765.00. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY REGULAR MECHANIC TO DETERMINE IF I WAS BEING INFORMED CORRECTLY. HE ADVISED THAT THE CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP DID NOT REMOVE THE HEAT SHIELD TO VERIFY THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED HE COULD DETERMINE THIS BY LOOKING AT THE FASTENERS OF THE HEAT SHIELD. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT TO CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. HE SAID THAT IS WHY THEY DID NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE HEAT SHIELD. WHEN THE STUDS ARE BROKEN IT ALLOW THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO LEAK. MY QUESTION IS IF THIS IS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO ABOUT PAYING FOR A REPAIR FOR A CONSTANT ISSUE. THEY SAID THERE HAS NOT BEEN MANY PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE. CAN THIS BE INVESTIGATED BY HAVING CHRYSLER MAIL OUT S SURVEY TO ACTUALLY DETERMINE IF THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFECT IN THEIR STUDS?

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BEING THAT THERE IS A RECALL IT CAN BE KINDA SCARY NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. MY CONCERN IS IF WHILE DRIVING AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHOULD THE FRAGMENTS DISTRACT MY VIEW OF TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING MAY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AS OF TO DATE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS WHAT DO A DRIVER OF A RECALLED VEHICLE DO???

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS DURANGO HAD SPEWED GAS DURING FILL UP EVER SINCE PURCHASED 11/2006, SO I JUST TRIED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING. APRIL 2012, I HAD SOME RUST FIXED AROUND THE REAR WHEEL AREA ON THE GAS TANK SIDE. DID NOT REALLY THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. 1/29/14 I HAD AN INLET CHECK VALVE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THOUGHT THEN THAT THIS DEFECT IS PROBABLY WHAT CAUSED MY RUST ISSUE BUT I HAD HAD THAT FIXED SO DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT....UNTIL IT STARTED TO RUST AGAIN IN THE SAME AREA. THIS IS A WITHOUT A DOUBT CAUSED BY THE FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER INTENTIONALLY DID NOT NOTIFY THEIR CLIENTS UNTIL THE 100,000 MILE RUST WARRANTY WAS UP. THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE RESULTING DAMAGE FROM THE FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 6/14/2015 I WAS ABOUT TO BACK MY TRAILER INTO MY YARD, WHEN MY GEAR SHIFT COLUMN SELECTOR LOCKED IN PARK. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. ADDITIONALLY, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. PRIOR TO ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION FOR IT WAS LOCKING AND WOULD NOT TURN TO THE ON POSITION OR ACCESSORIES POSITION. IT COST ME $400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW IGNITION TO BE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND NOW I HAVE WORSE PROBLEMS THAN BEFORE. SO I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND HERE IS MY FINDINGS: 1) SAFETYRECALL G28 -IGNITION/PARK SHIFT INTERLOCK IN 2001 AND 2002 MODELS FOR MANY VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDED THE DURANGO. 2) THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK CONNECTOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED WILL NOT ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO MOVE. SO IF THE DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THESE RECALLS WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE.
