On certain vehicles, the right front steering knuckle may have been improperly manufactured. because of a broken cooling line, parts cast in tool cavity #63 on july 18 and july 19, 2006, may have a cold shut condition and could fracture.
This could cause a loss of steering control and result in a crash without warning.
Dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles to identify the defective parts and replace if they are within that lot. the recall began on november 8, 2006. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the software programmed into the powertrain control module can cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle IS traveling over 40 mph and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.
If the drive wheels locked up, loss of vehicle control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module free of charge. the recall began on october 2, 2006. owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
When I first purchased in November of 2022 3 days after A) I've never had Air Conditioning B) The heat worked when it wanted to. C) 3 days after purchased (road trip) my whole front end was on the floor. I found that the entire front end of the power train was faulty. It had broken off. Costed me $900 to repair. D) The alarm and start up sensor is wired to the radio. E) Won't start without the radio. F) I have to charge my battery to go everywhere G) It shakes over 60 mph
My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.
Driving on highway about 70 mph SUV began hesitating became worse abs light traction control light and brake lights came on. It stopped. Now vont almost every time highway driving. And also problem when refueling SUV gas spurts out. And has increased gas consumption. My dealer said there was a great Carfax only item on diagnostic was ' gascap' for replacement.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V313000 (Air Bags) and 16V352000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact then received a second recall notice which stated that parts were now available. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parts were still not available even though a letter was received which stated otherwise. The contact recently called back the same dealer and was informed that the dealer was only receiving a limited supply of parts and could not service the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was undetermined. The contact contacted the dealer where they informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for a diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000.
Vehicle stationary and in motion show 6 warning ligths and do not go away . Plus also when you start slowing down ,i hear a bump noise in the gears, before stoping the car.( this IS not at all times)
2007 durango randomly stalls while driving down tbe highway. It has stalled as many as 3 times in 12 mile trip from home. It stalls while idling at a stop light. it will stall when slowing down and the transmission will shift hard at times. You never know when it will stall. I'm scared to drive it. It stalled on the interstate when I was driving in heavy traffic at 60mph. I know other models have been recalled and it seems to be a frequently ask question on some dodge forums. This IS a life threatening problem. I have replaced the camshaft and crank sensor, ignition coils, pcu and asd relays. Something us dangerously wrong with this vehicle. This has been occurring for several months and my lifetime warranty was voided because they said I took it in too early to have it checked. No one called or let me know I needed to have it inspected but they can call me every single day to tell me there IS an airbag recall. It isn't mportant when you can't drive your vehicle because it IS too dangerous.
ABS, check engine light, slippery when wet and gas cap warnings all on... Spent 3 weeks in shop and was told dodge doesn't make the part to fix.
My 2007 dodge durango limited has been having an issue where the 4X4 keeps turning itself on without me actually engaging it. Ive been having a very huge with solving the issue but I was able to read a forum which stated that I should fill out this form. This issue happens when the vehicle IS parked, in motion, or when I hit the unlock button on the key pad.
Vehicle IS switching into 4WD low while in motion. I have also heard the actuator activating while the vehicle IS not running and without the key in the ignition. I believe this to be an electrical issue based on research that appears to be happening in multiple vehicles for dodge. I am concerned that the system could change into 4WD or 4WD lock at a highway speeds causing dangerous and unsafe driving conditions.
While driving on freeway, doing about 65 mph, my truck just stalls. I have just a few seconds to pull over or put the truck in neutral to try and restart. sometimesit does cut right back on. I have avoided 4 accidents. I just got this truck 7/27/2019
While vehicle IS on the dashboard lights up with every light. It also says no fuse when the odometer IS. All the gauges stop working and the air controls dont work which mean no hot or cold air at all. This happen when stationary and in motion
This vehicle IS totalled, and has been crushed. Stop sending me recall warnings
Fuel IS sprayed on the vehicle, floor, person's upper and lower body while refueling. The vehicle IS turned off, in park, at the gas station. the fuel spray occurs every time the fuel tank IS filled near full. Followed with a strong fuel odor inside the cabin that lasts for about an hour. The problem started around 2010
When filling the fuel tank up the gas will spurt back out , you can fill it slow or fast it will do the same, it's not a small amount, it's a large amount.
When slowing down vehicle stalls, in traffic, intersections, and freeway at high speeds. Water leaking in from discontinued cowl panel deterioration allowing water to freely fall all over plugs and coil packs.
I was leaving the gas station & the vehicle started jumping up & down like a bucking horse. there was temporary power loss as well as loss of steering. the vehicle displayed a bas/esp error & as well as a traction control error.
Our durango randomly shuts off while driving or when we are idle. It happens a lot when making turns and I loose steering as well. ABS indicator on as well as check engine light. The check engine light usually shows O2 sensors or crank shaft sensors. Had both replaced many times and the issue still occurs. Very dangerous situation, as it IS our family car.
I just purchased a 2007 dodge durango and noticed that every time I fill up the truck at a gas station, instead of the gas pump automatically shutting off once the gas tank was full, gas would spit/back out of the nozzle area and run down the side of the truck. I at first thought it might have been the gas station, but it has occurred three more times at different gas stations. needless to say, this IS very dangerous and apparently, this IS a very common problem with other dodge owners. I called the dealership and they said that because I purchased the extended warranty, I'm responsible for the deductible. This problem should have been a recall on dodge behalf. I'm afraid that because I have to wait to come up with the deductible, a more serious accident could occur in the meantime. please contact me at your earliest convenience and thank you for your attention to this letter.
When filling tank the fuel filler hose sprays fuel back everywhere. I am scared to fill my tank up as it IS a risk that gas gets sprayed all over you. My vehicle IS stationary at the pump turned off. In googling it seems multiple people have this problem.
I just bought a used 2007 durango and upon filling the gas tank up, the gas spewed out. Thought it might be that particular pump, but it always does this when filling up. Fuel spills out of filler neck when tank IS filled. Very dangerous. Potential for some very bad things to happen.
Takata recall (not sure). While driving (40 mph to 45 mph) on a rainy afternoon on saturday november 18, 20017 the right side panel airbag deployed without been in any type or accident or nothing, besides that it was raining very hard. it sound like a big explosion inside the car making me almost lost vehicle control.
Vehicle intermittently loses all power and dies with no real warning. It has died on the freeway numerous times with the vehicle traveling at speeds over 70 miles an hour, on side streets going under 30, while stopped at red lights, while placed in parked in parking lots, and once while vehicle was in reverse. No check engine light IS displayed and dealer does not know what's wrong. When it dies on the freeway I lose all power steering and brakes making it very difficult to safely pull over so that I can put it into park and restart it. I am afraid that this IS going to cause an accident, as I was almost rear-ended last time it died.
TL* the contact owns a 2007 dodge durango. While driving various speeds and while idling, the vehicle would suddenly stall. In addition, while operating the vehicle, the check engine, esp, and ABS warning indicators displayed. The failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 119,000.
Vehicle fluctuates in rpm's upon starting vehicle, while stopped in traffic and while driving down the road. Vehicle also will randomly stall with no warning while in park, while stopped at traffic signals, pulling into intersections and also while driving down the road. Upon stalling I have an extremely short amount of time to pull over before I loose complete ability to steer the vehicle. Vehicle has random violent shifting while driving. Problems began about 90,000 miles and has gotten progressively and severely worse the past 3 months.
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at ODI's insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.Takata's initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida.Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas.Takata's testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina.Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.ODI's investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
