Consumer Description

MY 2004 DODGE DURANGO SUFFERED THE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO HYDROLOCK FROM THE POOR COWL DESIGN. I LIVE IN BEAR COUNTRY, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN STRANDED WITH 800LBS OF CLAWS AND TEETH. I STARTED THE MOTOR IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING A LIGHT RAIN SHOWER ONLY TO HEAR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE, IT RAN FOR 5 SECONDS THEN DIED. PLENTY OF VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE 2012 HEMI HAD A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED.
