ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I USE OUR 2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI ENGINE TO TAKE OUR 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. WE HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, MAINTAINING EVERYTHING! 4 DAYS AGO WE GOT INTO THE VEHICLE TO GO TO THE STORE AND AT START UP THE ENGINE MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND. WE STOPPED TRYING TO START IT THEN TRIED ONCE AGAIN. MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD SMELLED OIL AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE ENGINE HAD THROWN A ROD AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. WE HAD NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE VEHICLE MADE NO OTHER SOUND PRIOR AND DROVE 100% FINE THE DAY BEFORE. AFTER SEARCHING, WE HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOW WE ARE IN PURSUIT OF ANY TYPE OF JUSTICE FROM THIS. OUR EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO. WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US WE WERE TOLD "NO" AND WERE ALSO TOLD WE WERE THE 2ND PEOPLE TO CALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE DURANGO ALONE...BUT THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE BETWEEN CERTAIN YEARS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DODGE DURANGO 2004, 5.7 HEMI ENGINE , I TRIED TO START THE CAR BUT AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT I JUST HEAR A NOISE BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T START. AT THE THIRD TIME THE ENGINE START IT, BUT IT WAS A MAKING A CLICKING NOISE THAT INCREASED WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH MY CAR, I BOUGHT IT OVER TWO YEARS AGO. I BEEN DOING THE SERVICES AT LEAST EVERY 3,000 MILES , BUT THE THING THAT MAKE ME UPSET IS THAT I WAS DOING THE SERVICES AT DALLAS DODGE, I MAY HAVE PROOF OF SOME OF THOSE SERVICES. BUT IN THE LAST SERVICE I WENT TO A DIFFERENT PLACE, IT WAS A GUY THAT HAS BEEN WORKING IN CHOPS HIS WHOLE LIFE , AND THE FIRST THING THAT HE NOTICE WHEN HE WAS CHANGING THE OIL IS THAT WAS SO DIRTY. HE ASK ME ABOUT HOW OFTEN I WAS DOING THE OIL,WHEN I TOLD HIM ABOUT EVERY 3,000 MILES, AT THE END HE DID THE COMMENT THAT THEY WERE NOT CHANGING THE OIL. WELL NOW I HAVE THREE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT MY ENGINE, AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO REPLACE A ENGINE THAT GOES FROM 4,750 TO 6,700, I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS ENGINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ENGINE, NOW THE ENGINE AND THE BAD SERVICE IT MAKE IT WORSE. I KNOW YOU GUYS MUST HAVE HUNDREDS OF THIS MESSAGES BUT REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME WITH SOME DIRECTIONS, WELL AT LEAST IF THIS DOES NOT HELP ME, IT MAY HELP SOMEBODY ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, SHE NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE STARTED POURING INTO THE VEHICLE. SHE MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE RAIN LEAKING INTO THE COMPUTER PANEL AND WIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED FOR RECALL 07V092000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL) AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO APPLIED THE REMEDY SINCE IT DID NOT QUALIFY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW SPARK PLUGS. THE REMEDY DID NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. A RESERVOIR WAS INSTALLED WHICH REPAIRED THE FAILURE TEMPORARILY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN DUE TO WATER LEAKING INTO THE HOOD AND DAMAGING A COIL LOCATED NEAR THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

EQUIPMENT
KEY FOB POORLY DESIGNED WHICH LEADS TO SMALL INTERIER METAL PRONG BREAKING CAUSING THE KEY TO BE NO GOOD. ONCE THE KEY IS NO LONGER WORKING YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE DOORS MANUALLY BY INPUTTING THE KEY INTO THE DOOR LOCK WHICH SOUNDS THE ALARM UNTIL THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR HOLDING TWO INFANTS AND TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR AND STOP THE ALARM FROM SOUNDING. I WAS ALSO APPROACHED BY OFFICERS AS THERE HAD BEEN CAR BREAK INS IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION AND THEY BELIEVED I WAS STEELING THE VEH BECAUSE THE ALARM WAS SOUNDING AND I WAS LEANED OVER ATTEMPTING TO GET THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO STOP THE ALARM FROM SOUNDING. I'VE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND MANY OTHER FOLKS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT MOPAR WHO MANUFACTUERS THE KEYS FOR DODGE HAS CHANGED THE DESIGN BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE FOR THOSE WITH KEYS ALREADY BROKE AND IS NOT WILLING TO REIUMBURSE FOR THE KEY COST.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE HEMI 5.7 LITER V8. OVER THE LAST WEEK IT WAS OCCASIONALLY HARD TO START WHEN THERE WAS RAIN, OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE. VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE, IS USED FOR LIGHT DUTY ONLY AND HAS HAD PROPER WEIGHT OIL USING MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC AT EACH OIL CHANGE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME FRIDAY NIGHT FROM WORK, STARTED FINE, DROVE HOME FINE, STOPPED AT A STORE ALONG THE WAY, NO ISSUES STARTING IT AFTER. UPON ARRIVING HOME I SHUT IT OFF, WITH NO ISSUES APPARENT. I DID NOT USE THE VEHICLE SATURDAY. SUNDAY AFTERNOON I PROCEED TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY MAKES A LOUD CLACKING NOISE, FOLLOWED BY A LOUD BANG AND STALLS. OIL WAS RUNNING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE ENGINE HAS A HOLE IN THE BLOCK. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 111K MILES ON IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED OTHER THEN THE OCCASIONAL ISSUE TO START WHEN IT WAS RAINING. REPAIRS ESTIMATES HAVE RANGED FROM $5500 TO $7000 AS THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY RUINED. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN, AND MOST OF THEM HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN BETWEEN 80,000 AND 120,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. DODGE DURANGO 2004 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. HAS 84,000 MILES. WHICH IS LOW MILES FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. DROVE THE SUV THE DAY BEFORE AND WAS RUNNING FINE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ETC. NEXT DAY GO OUT TO START IT UP AND HEAR LOUD NOISES COMING FROM ENGINE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID A ROD BROKE. MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT 84,000 MILES. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OR THE USE OF BELOW STANDARDS PARTS. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE ENGINE. THESE CARS COST 35,000 DOLLARS THEY SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE OF THIS TYPE. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. PEOPLE ARE CLEARLY BEING SOLD A DEFECTED PRODUCT. *TR

1. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS LIT: SERVICE CAN SEE NO REASON FROM COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS. 1A. ENGINE IDLES ROUGH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER A RAIN STORM. 2. ENGINE WON'T START UNLESS GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED: THEN STALLS UNLESS IDLE REMAINS AT LEAST 1500 RPMS. 3. TOOK TO SERVICE SHOP: DIAGNOSIS IS CYLINDER # 7 HAS NO COMPRESSION AND COMPUTER SHOWS 8 SYSTEM FAULTS RELATING TO FAILURE OF CYLINDER # 7. RESEARCH FROM INTERNET FORUMS SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST BETWEEN $4000 AND $5000. NO GUARANTEES REPLACEMENT ENGINE WILL NOT HAVE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE DODGE DURANGO IN QUESTION WAS PARKED ON FRIDAY FEB 25, 2011 AND WAS RUNNING PERFECT. IT WAS NOT MISSING OR KNOCKING. ON TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2011 WE CRANKED THE DURANGO AND IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN KNOCKING EXTREMELY BAD. TOOK THE DURANGO TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADS WERE RUINED AND THE BLOCK WAS BUSTED FROM A PISTON ROD BENDING. ENGINE CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE DURANGO IS IN PERFECT SHAPE OTHERWISE AND WITH ONLY 83465 MILES I EXPECTED MORE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THIS VEHICLE COST.

I OWN A 2004 DODGE DURANGO, V8, 5.7 WITH A HEMI & A 102,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER & HAVE BABIED THIS CAR FROM THE GET GO. WE RECENTLY JUST REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS ON THE FRONT END, TUNED IT UP & WAS HEADING TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED & BALANCED FOR OUR FAMILY SPRING BREAK VACATION. WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO START IT, IT MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE & THREW A ROD THROUGH MY ENGINE, INTAKE & OIL PAN. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MONEY I HAVE PUT IN THIS CAR TO KEEP IT MAINTENANCED & WHAT I PAID FOR IT, TO JUST BLOW WITH NO WARNING. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR & ENGINE, DODGE NEEDS TO STEP UP & TAKE RESPONSIBILITY & MAKE A RECALL. I AM NOW GOING TO BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A CAR I STILL OWE ON & MY VACATION HAS BEEN RUINED & HAD TO BE CANCELED. I AM THANKFUL HOWEVER THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED WITH MY LITTLE BOY IN THE CAR. TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH DODGE FOR NOT RECALLING THIS ENGINE SOONER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WITH ONLY 78,000 MILE ,THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE ONE DAY. VERY QUIET AND SMOOTH. I WENT TO START IT A DAY OR TWO LATER ,AND THERE WAS A CLANKING SOUND OUT OF THE ENGINE,VERY LOUD, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS, AFTER LETTING IT RUN A BIT ,ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NOISE STOPPED .BUT NOW THERE'S HEAVY BLUE SMOKE POURING OUT THE TAIL PIPE. BEING A RETIRED MECHANIC I KNOW THIS IS A VERY BAD OIL ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS 5.7 ENGINE.

I OWN A 2004 DODGE DURANGO AND LET ME TELL YOU THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH IT!! THE RADIATOR, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND BRAKES. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS WHEN IT RAINS. THE TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. YOU COULD BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH AND IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. I THANK GOD THAT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IN TO AN ACCIDENT YET. IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT NOT KNOWING IF WHEN YOU RE OUT AND ITS STARTS TO RAIN I HEAD FOR HOME BECAUSE I AM SO WORRIED. I DON'T EVEN LET ME TEENAGE DAUGHTER BORROW IT IN CAUSE SHE IS OUT AND GOD FORBID IT STARTS TO RAIN. WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN THERE ARE NO BRAKES NO NOTHING. SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND NO RECALLS ON THIS PART. THAT IS INSANE!!!! SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS GOING TO GET KILLED!!! DODGE - YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2004 DODGE DURANGO HEMI 5.7 WITH 62K MILES. I MAINTAINED THE CAR WELL. I HAVE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS: 1) WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CHECKING ENGINE LIGHT AND THE LIGHTING ROD LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR JUMPS OUT OF OVERDRIVE AND REMAINS IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. MY TEMPORARY FIX WOULD BE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR WAIT 3 SECONDS THEN RESTART. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON BUT THE LIGHTING BOLT GOES OFF AND THE CAR IS ABLE TO SHIFT BACK INTO HIGH GEAR. 2) RECENTLY THE WHILE DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT COMES AND THE CAR STALLS LEADING ME TO STARE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY POWER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I HAVE NO FIX TO DATE. *TR
