ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN AT ABOUT 15 MPH ROD BROKE AND WENT THROUGH BLOCK. COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. AT 120,000 MILES THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NO NOISE OR ANY WARNING , ALWAYS CHANGED OIL. DAUGHTER HAS HONDA WITH 200K ON IT AND STILL RUNS GREAT. WHAT IS WITH CHRYSLER?? REMEMBER THE OLD FIAT== FIX IT AGAIN [XXX]?? IF DODGE THINKS THEY WILL SELL ME ANOTHER CAR I DON'T THINK SO!! AND NOW THE DEALER IS TRYING TO PUT ME IN A NEW ONE! WILL GIVE ME A SONG FOR MINE. IT'S BROKE. AND FINDING A MOTOR IS NOT FUN EITHER. SEEMS THE JUNK YARDS CAN'T KEEP THEM. SELL AS SOON AS THEY GET THEM. IT'S TO BAD THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?? LOOKING TO PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN TO THIS CAR AND THEN I;M DUMPING IT. PROBABLY A NISSAN OR A TOYOTA. SORRY AMERICA I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO THROW IN TO AMERICA METAL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 5.7 DODGE DURANGO MOTOR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB THEY RUN SMOOTHLY THEN WITH OUT ANY WARNING BLOW UP. I ONLY HAD 122723 MILES ON IT WHEN IT BLEW IT RAN GREAT TILL THE ROAD CAME OUT THROUGH THE BLOCK. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO MAKE CHRYSLER MAKE A RECALL ON THIS SOME ONE TO GET KILLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY CAUSE I'M GLAD I WAS WITH MY WIFE OR THAT CASE COULD OF BEEN SOONER THAN U EXPECTED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RELIABLE FOR THERE HUGE ENGINE MISTAKE IN THIS MIDDLE YEAR BEFORE THEY KILL SOME ONE GOING FROM 65 - 0 ON THE HIGH WAY IS TOTALLY UN SAFE COME ON GOVERNMENT STEP UP TO THE PLATE IF THIS WAS SO BACK YARD COMPANY YOU WOULD OF SHUT THEM DOWN BY NOW DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND FORCE THEM TO HAVE A RECALL BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT BAD OR DIES. KIDS RIDE IN THESE VEHICLES IF WE WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE COVER UP A PROBLEM WE WOULD BE PERSECUTED FOR CRIMINAL NEGLECT AND ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT CHRYSLER MOTOR CORP IS DOING ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY'S SO STEP UP AD FORCE THE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT MY DURANGO AT A USED DEALERS. IT HAD 56000 MILES ONE OWNER, 2010, CENTER COLUMN PANEL OVER HEATED AND YOU COULD SMELL PLASTIC BURNING. THE RADIO SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITION CONTROLS WELL ACTUALLY EVERYTHING WAS SO HOT YOU HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK TO LET THAT CENTER PANEL COOL DOWN BEFORE YOU COULD TURN THEM OFF,THE NEXT THING I STARTED HEARING A BAD SHIFTING NOISE AND IT BANGED REALLY LOUD LIKE FROM THE REAR END I ASSUMED. NO MATTER IF YOU WERE DRIVING SLOW OR FAST THE TRUCK WOULD DOWNSHIFT AND SOUNDING LIKE A ROD OR SOMETHING WAS GOING TO COME THROUGH THE FLOOR. I HAVE ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE DOWN WHEN WAS TOLD BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP AT THE TIME THE DOWNSHIFTING STARTED IT WAS 90,000 MILES ,NOW I AM AT 93,000 -OR 98,000 MILES AND SOMETHING IS REALLY KNOCKING TO ME I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAN HITTING THE RADIATOR BUT NOT THE CASE, IT ALSO STALLS OUT IN THE RAIN AND ENGINE WONT START UNTIL AFTER RAIN HAS STOPPED, IT STALLS OUT ON SUNNY DAYS FOR NO REASON. YOU STILL HERE A THUD NOISE OR IT DOWNSHIFTING HARD AT 15 MILES AN HOUR OR IF YOU GO ANY SPEED IT CONTINUES TO DOWN SHIFT SHAKING THE VEHICLE. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER BUTTON BROKEN OFF FROM UNDER THE HOOD THE RUBBER AROUND THE HOOD KEEPS FALLING OFF INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS ARE SHORTING OUT. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK GOOD CARE FANTASTIC VEHICLE LOVE IT BUT IT HAS ISSUES BAD ISSUES. NOT DRIVABLE 930000# *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY WELL MAINTAINED GARAGE KEPT 2004 5.7L DURANGO WITH 119,000 MILES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING FAILED TO START ONE MORNING AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. IT MADE A LOUD NOISE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD SEIZED AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE COST WOULD BE $7200. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD PREVIOUSLY WAS THAT IT WOULD STALL DURING EXTREME RAIN STORMS BUT IT OCCURRED INFREQUENTLY AND ONLY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS. THE DEALER HAD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THIS A FEW MONTHS EARLIER. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2004 AND HAD ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT EXACTLY AS RECOMMENDED. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
STARTED MY VEHICLE AND HEARD A HORRIBLE GRINDING METAL SOUND. TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT A ROD HAD BLOWN A TWO INCH HOLE IN MY ENGINE BLOCK. THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL IN A PILE OF OIL UNDER MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS TOWED AND 2 LARGE CHUNKS FOUND UPON INSPECTION OF VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING. NO PROBLEMS PRIOR. VEHICLE RAN FINE THE DAY BEFORE. NO LIGHTS EVER CAME ON THE DASH EITHER, NO CHECK ENGINE...ETC. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE- I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR STORIES. HOPING A CLASS ACTION SUIT WILL BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

STARTED VEHICLE AND HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN THINKING SOMETHING MAY BE UNDERNEATH, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH SAME RESULT. HAD VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY MECHANIC, SAYS THAT IT SOUNDS TO BE A PISTON ROD. TOOK OIL SAMPLE, AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PER MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATIONS, ALONG WITH ALL WARRANTY AND RECALL WORK. FROM READINGS, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MECHANIC SAYS ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING USUALLY WHEN IT RAINS, OR DURING TURNS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 12-7-11, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD BANG AND RATTLING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WASN'T ANY WARNING FROM THE DASH BOARD NOR WAS THE ANY PINGING PRIOR TO THE ENGINES CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I HAD LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE ENGINE OIL WAS ALSO SPILL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC.WE HAVE RECEIPTS THAT SHOW WE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE REGULARLY. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY COOPERATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR THE MANUFACTURER AS OF YET. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE 5.7 DODGE HEMI ENGINE. I ALSO RESEARCHED THAT, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THE CHRYSLER CORP KNEW OF HE POTENTIAL FAILURE IN THE 2004/05 5.7 ENGINE, MADE THE CHANGES TO THE ENGINE BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. I AM ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE AND/OR ADVICE AS TO WHAT ACTION I AND MANY OTHERS SHOULD TAKE AT THIS POINT. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE HAVE A 2004 DODGE DURANGO IT HAS BEEN A GOOD VEHICLE MY WIFE JUST LOVES IT BUT THE OTHER DAY SHE WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND WHEN SHE STARTED THE MOTOR IT STARTED MAKING THIS REALLY LOUD TICKING NOISE. WELL I CALLED THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME HE WOULD STOP BY ON HIS WAY HOME TO LISTEN TO IT HE DID AND SAID IT WAS NOT GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND BRING IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. I HAD IT TRAILERED INTO THE SHOP AND LATER THAT DAY IS WHEN WE GOT THE BAD NEWS. THE MOTOR HAS VERY SERIOUS INTERNAL PROBLEMS IT'S EITHER A ROD, WRIST PIN OR PISTON SKIRT AND CAN COST US UP TO $6,000 FOR NEW MOTOR OR REBUILD THE LOWER END OF THIS ONE THEY WILL NEED TO PULL THE MOTOR TO TELL FOR SURE WHAT IT IS, WE NEVER HAD ANY WARNING SIGNS AT ALL THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM IT JUST HAPPENED. SORRY BUT WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A ENGINE EVERY 90,000 MILES AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE NOW, WE HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILE PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATION. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I SEE THAT DODGE IS HAVING A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS AND ARE MISLEADING THE PUBLIC WITH ALL THE HYPE ABOUT THE HEMI MOTOR AND THEY ARE NOT DOING A DARN THING ABOUT THE ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING. MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT 4 MONTHS AGO OR 19000 MILES AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THE ENGINES SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN 90,000 MILES AND I AM VERY PEED OFF ABOUT THIS HE HAVE OWNED DODGES FOREVER AND NOW THIS HAPPENS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE DODGE VERY MUCH NOW. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FINE, AFTER THE RECALLS WERE DONE,. I HAVE 5 KIDS LOVE THE SPACE AND POWER. I HAVE HAD RECENT PROBLEMS WITH WATER IN THE CAR WASH AND WHEN RAINING MAKING IT WANT TO STALL BUT IT KEPT ON RUNNING. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL YESTERDAY MORNING. MY WIFE WENT OUT TO TAKE THE KIDS TO MCDONALD'S AND SHE SAYS "IT SOUNDED LIKE A LARGE BALLOON POPPED" WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. NOW I HAVE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOUD TICK OR A KNOCK FROM THE PASSENGERSIDE BACK. IT HOWEVER SOUNDS LIKE A LAWN MOWER RUNNING WHEN IT DOES RUN AND PER VALVOLINE SERVICE "NO FIRE ON NUMBER EIGHT CYLINDER". AS I NOW HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL WITH THE PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT ISOLATED. IF I HAD NOT BEEN DOING THE RECOMMENDED MATINANCE AND NOT KEEPING UP ON THIS TRUCK I COULD UNDERSTAND, BUT A VEHICLE COSTING OVER $32,000.00 NEW SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 97,000 MILES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STAND UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH (OUT OF TOWN) WHEN HE HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP". THE ENGINE FAILED AND HE HAD TO MAKE HIS WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND VERY LITTLE CONTROL DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. HE SAID THE TRUCK JERKED SO HARD IT ACTUALLY FELT LIKE HE HIT SOMETHING. WHEN HE MADE IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. HE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A GARAGE. AFTER THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HE SAID IT BLEW A ROD THROUGH THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE COSTS ME NEARLY $30,000.00 AND HAD 129,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS I WAS TOLD THAT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOW FOR THIS PROBLEM. A JASPER REPLACEMENT ENGINE COST ABOUT $7000.00!!!! I TELEPHONED DODGE ON A FEW DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY I PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR EXPIRED. I SURELY THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A QUALITY VEHICLE BUT APPARENTLY I AM WRONG. I AM SURE GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING WITH MY KIDS WHEN THIS HAPPENED, ONE WRONG MOVE AND THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR! THANK GOD NOBODY GOT HURT. NOW I AM STUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS VEHICLE????? I CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE $7000.00 DOLLARS AND A USED ENGINE IS VERY HARD TO FIND DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THEM! WHEN I WENT INTO WORK THE NEXT DAY, MY CO-WORKER WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT VEHICLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE COLOR, INFORMED ME HIS ENGINE BLEW TOO! COME ON DODGE-GET A CLUE! ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HEMI'S HAVING PROBLEMS! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU STAY IN BUSINESS! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN I PUT ON THE BREAK AS TRAFFIC HAD GOTTEN A LITTLE THICK. AS I RELEASED MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK THE CAR KIND OF JUMPED (SIMILAR TO WHEN ITS IN CRUISE CONTROL) AND I NOTICED THAT IT WAS PICKING UP SPEED BY ITSELF. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THAT SOMEHOW IT HAD GONE INTO CRUISE CONTROL ON ITS OWN BUT WHEN I AGAIN TRIED TO PUT THE BREAK ON I NOTICED THAT THE BREAK PEDAL WAS A BIT RESISTANT AND WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT IT AGAIN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. STILL THINKING THIS WAS A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE I HIT THE OFF BUTTON BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND REALIZING THAT GETTING THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN WAS VERY DIFFICULT I DIDN'T WANT TO EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP OR PREVENT AN ACCIDENT SO I CONTINUED MY DRIVE TO WORK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE KNOWING THAT IN THE WORSE CASE SCENARIO THERE WAS A FIELD I COULD CRASH INTO (AT MY WORK EXIT) IF I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP. AT ONE POINT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK TO SEE IF THE SPEED WOULD CONTINUE TO RISE OR IF IT WOULD STOP AT ANY POINT, BUT AFTER IT BEGAN TO APPROACH 100MPH (IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS GOING TO CONTINUE RISING)AND SCARING ME EVEN FURTHER I PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BREAK. UPON EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BREAK AND PRESSED DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD, ONLY MANAGING TO GET THE SPEED TO ABOUT 30 MPH BEFORE I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS LATER TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT MY THROTTLE WAS STUCK. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE! *TR
