STEERING:RACK AND PINION, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR A "ROUGH IDLE" AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FEEL IT, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, ALTHOUGH IT HAS DIED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, I JUST FOUND OUT I NEED A NEW RACK AND PINION AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS 54,000 MILES AND I HAVE A 70,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, BUT APPARENTLY, IT ISN'T COVERED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DURANGO, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF, NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, STEERING TIGHTENS, I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 30,000 MILES AND 18 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED A TUNE UP THAT WAS AT 24,000 MILES, SO WE PAID $900.00 FOR THAT AND NEW BRAKES. THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH AGO, WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND I HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 DOZEN TIMES. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
ON THE EVENING OF 6-28-07 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DURING A THUNDERSTORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RUNNING. THE RAIN INTENSIFIED SO I SWITCHED THE WIPERS TO HIGH SPEED SUDDENLY THE LEFT (DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING AND JAMMED AGAINST THE RUNNING RIGHT WIPER. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS ON A STRETCH OF ROAD WHERE I COULD SLOW DOWN AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARED THAT THE LEFT WIPER LINKAGE BROKE AS I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE WIPER WITHOUT RESISTANCE SO I MOVED IT TO THE FAR LEFT POSITION AND IT WAS OUT OF WAY OF THE RIGHT WIPER WHICH WAS STILL OPERATING. I WAITED FOR THE STORM TO SUBSIDE THEN DROVE ON WITH THE RIGHT WIPER WORKING AND THE HAZARD FLASHERS ON, AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. HAD A CAR BEEN IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OF FAILURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE CAR ON 7-2-07 AND REPAIRED THE WIPERS.*AK
