Consumer Description

THE FLAP WHICH ALLOWS THE AIR TO EITHER FLOW THROUGH THE VENTS OR DEFROST OR HEATER VENTS IS STUCK BLOWING AIR OUT THE HEATER AND DEFROST VENTS. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH DODGE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $200 FOR A PART THAT IS KNOWN BY DODGE TO HAVE A DEFECT. MY CHILDREN AND I ARE ABOUT TO SUFFOCATE FROM THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER. IS DODGE GOING TO BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM OR NOT? MY NEXT PROBLEM IS THE FRONT END WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH TWO SETS OF TIRES AND HAVE HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS WITH NO RESULTS. I KNOW OF PLENTY OF DURANGO OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS DEFECTIVE PARTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION/STARTER NOT WANTING TO START AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A DEFECT OR JUST SOMETHING WORN OUT. DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM YET. THANKS.*AK
