NHTSA Complaint #10477330 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

I WAS DRIVING IN THE POURING RAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DURANGO STARTED SKIPPING AND HAD A HESITATION WHEN GIVING THE GAS THEN STALLED SUDDENLY. HAD TO PUMP GAS TO RESTART AND CONTINUED STALLING AS SOON AS IT RESTARTED. PER SHOP, 2004-2005 HAVE DEFECTIVE COWL ON WINDSHIELD WITH HUGE GAP. WATER IS JUST POURING ONTO MOTOR CAUSING MISFIRE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DODGE REFUSES TO RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHO HAS ORDERED THE PART HOWEVER PART HAS BEEN BACK ORDERED FOR OVER A MONTH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NOT ONLY IS THE VEHICLE STALLING SUDDENLY BUT ONCE IT STALLS I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND BARELY MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THIS STARTED, I STILL FEEL A HESITATION/SKIP IN THE MOTOR WHEN DRIVING IN DRY CONDITION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE. WHY ISN'T DODGE BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DANGEROUS ISSUES? *TR
