2007 Dodge Durango 4X4

THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONSISTENTLY GOING BAD , DUE TO FAULTY WIRING HARNESS OR OTHER ISSUES. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING , AND THE ITS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO JUST REPLACE , BUT I REPLACE 1 A YEAR . I HAVE REPLACED 6 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM TO WHY THE CPS KEEPS FAILING .

WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERE. NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN SHOWING DOWN. THE DURANGO DOES NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY AND HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE OTHER DAY IT STALLED AT 5AM IN THE MORNING WHILE CROSS A BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE HAZARDS AND HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I WAS SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME. IT STARTED UP ABOUT 6 MINUTES LATER WHICH FELT LIKE A LIFETIME. THIS DURANGO HAS ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF STALING AND STARTING BACK UP BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED HOW MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WAS DUE TO HAVING NO LIGHTS OR HAZARDS AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH TURN SIGNALS FAILING TO WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL BLINK FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND OTHER TIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL OR EVEN BLINK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THIS IS A CONSIDERABLE HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO A SEVERE TRAFFIC CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING INCONSISTENTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INSTANCES WHEN THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY AND ALSO WHEN YOU WOULD TRY TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS IT WOULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TO ACTIVATE AND NOT DIM OR ENGAGE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *TT

AT THE FINISH OF FUELING THE GAS TANK SPITS ABOUT A QUART OR TWO OF GAS, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TANK. THIS JUST STARTED ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS 65000 MILES, THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THIS DIDN'T USE TO HAPPEN. AND THIS IS MY EXPENSE TO FIX??? THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. GAS SPEWING EVERYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE GAS TANK I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" REPLACED. ALL GAUGES WENT CRAZY, NO TURN INDICATORS, ALL BEEPERS BEEPING, ALL GAUGE LIGHTS ON, COULDN'T TELL WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BECAUSE ALL GEAR LIGHTS LIT UP, NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS, NO FAN, HEATER OR DEFROST. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LIGHTS AND GAUGES AND LIGHTS WERE STILL LIT UP! LIKE THE CAR WAS POSSESSED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE AND THE CAR SEEMED TO RESET. ONLY LASTED 100 MILES BEFORE THE SAME SYMPTOMS RECURRED. TO THE SHOP THE CAR GOES... "INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER" OUT AT 62000 MILES. COST ABOUT $800...OUT OF WARRANTY BY 10000 MILES. NOW THE FUELING ISSUE. WOW! NOT GOOD. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 DODGE DURANGO ON 9/21/07 FROM HATCH MOTOR COMPANY IN SNOWFLAKE, AZ. I HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS WHEN IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND I REPORTED IT TO THE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THE GAS GAUGE, HAZARD LIGHTS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, HIGH AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, THEY CHECKED IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUSTER BOX AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE HOME. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME ONE UNLESS I PURCHASED THE "CHRYSLER CONTRACT" OR UNLESS I PAID FOR ONE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE A DOWN PAYMENT FOR THE VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION TO THEM AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT PROVIDE ONE FOR ME. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BACK HOME WHICH IS OVER 250 MILES IN THE DARK WITH MY THREE CHILDREN. THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY. I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT THIS TO YOU DUE TO THE SERIOUS HAZARD AND THEY LET ME DRIVE IT HOME. *TR
