Problems with 2004 Dodge Durango ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Went to go start durango & heard a loud boom, & now it seems to be knocking & not drivable now, after do research online we cam across that on these models (2004 dodge durango 5.7 hemi magnums) it seems too leak water into where the engine is due to hood manifold is designed horribly & water leaks on wires, spark, plugs, engine etc. etc. we've noticed when we drove in the rain or even going through a carwash that the durango would sputter as if it was going to die & it has a couple times & took about 15 mins to start again, after this event has happened we thank god that it happened at home & not on the interstate around other vehicles because this is a serious safely issue that needs to be addressed & now we are out of a vehicle at the moment and we are still currently making payments on this vehicle for another year and a half at-least.

Vehicle will die without warning you hole driving causing a serious risk for collision. engine stops running and is very hard to steer or stop with no power.

I was going 45 miles an hour with all my 4 children and husband in vehicle when without warning the vehicle shut off. there is no code vehicle loses power steering and brake function and you have to shut vehicle down and restart to gain control again. this has happened 7 times! there is no code being given no one can diagnose this issue i have been everywhere and been told that no one can do anything for me this is ridiculous i have seen this problem spread all over dodge for you and i cannot believe that this is not a recall a whole family my family almost died multiple times because of its end this is not right that there is not a recall on this this is serious there have been hundreds of near-death accidents because of this issue alone this needs to be looked into this needs to be taken seriously and dodge needs to be held accountable it has nothing to do with speed i was parked in my vehicle died this morning i'm fortunate that i was parked and not driving the last two times i was pulling out of a parking lot in ...

I had stopped at a stop sign and attempted to turn left. as soon as i took my foot off brake & onto gas, car completely stopped and shut off, leaving the car in the middle of the intersection. it was raining & similar has happened twice before during rain. both previous times though, all electrical systems would work but i would have to wait about 15 minutes until car would restart. this time however, nothing was working, not even hazard flashers. every time i tried restarting, dashboard lights would blink randomly. i took the battery to be tested, which tested fine. it has now been 3 days and car will not restart, same lighting issues when ever i have the key in the ignition, and nothing electrical is working including the key to unlock the doors remotely.

The transfer case randomly shifts into 4 wheel lock and even 4-lo. this happens even when driving. i currently only drive on city streets as i am concerned that it will cause any accident or damage the vehicle if it shifts into 4-lo at higher speeds. the transfer case is currently stuck in 4 wheel lock, which makes it very hard to turn. i have read in forums that most people disconnect their transfer case motor, losing functionality but making the truck safer. i cannot disconnect the transfer care motor while it is stuck in 4 when lock. dodge should be held responsible and forced to fix all these vehicles.

About a week ago my alternator and battery had to be replaced, a day or two after i had them replaced i was pulling out onto a state road and i heard something got crunched, so i stopped and got out ans looked and nothing. got back in rhe car and put it in drive and i looked down at my dash and heart something trying to engage and on mh dash my svc 4wd light started flashing.. im not sure how ro fix it or what to do, it does it quite frequently. i opened the trunk and heard it trying to engage. stopped at a stop light, i can hear it trying to engage to 4 wd. i have been looking into thia and i see several consumers have had the same issues. it seems dodge should beable to come up with a permanent fix, but no recalls yet... my main concern is, what happens if im doing 80 mps on the freeway and it tries to engage into 4low?? thank you for your time!!

I am original owner and love my durango but since i have owned it i cannot drive in rain. the vehicle sputters and dies and check engine light comes on. i found several places online of people with same complaint and the issue is the original cowl. i looked and mine does not have a taller ridge around the wiper bolts or a ridge to divert the water from running into my engine. i need the 2nd generation cowl that was improved part #55362453ak our family always buys dodge, my husband has the 1500 truck as well as my daughter. i don't understand why dodge has not put a recall out on this issues that so many are complaining about. i have taken my durango several times to the service dept. and they could never find the problem but online after seeing everyone with same issue and how they are repairing i know i need this part. i ran water directly over the windshield and as it went over the existing cowl it did indeed dump into my engine and started sputtering and shut off. i tried to find the part but ...

Takata recall and electrical interior lights stay on dimmer don't work needs cluster replaced dealer says that it may not be available after keeping my car for 5 days as of today 12 -31-18 they say they can't give it back to me because of the electric recall!?

2004 dodge durango 5.7 hemi these vehicles are shutting off without warning no steering, brakes lights, hazards, nothing is operable vehicle doesn't stutter or stall at all no waring lights just shuts right off multiple people are reporting the exact same problem this is a serious defect as there aren't any codes or signs of failure

Truck switches to 4wd on its own and does not allow me to switch back to regular awd. the "service 4wd" light comes on. mechanics have indicated the transfer case shift motor may need to be replaced; but, none are available. also, there is no guarantee that would fix the dangerous problem of switching to 4wd.

Key fhob's have not been working for a while. replace battery still not working. now my shift motor on the transfer case is randomly shifting and locking in 4wd high. this happens while driving down the road. it happens while parked in the parking lot then when you go to drive hard to turn or get out of 4wd. when it locks in 4wd it is nearly impossible to back up. it doesn't seem to matter whether you're parked driving on city streets or on the highway. however, when it happen it can lead to inability to steer and control the vehicle. this is very dangerous and can also lead to substantial costly repairs from being in 4wd and not on the correct surface. reviewing many on-line forums i'm finding that there are several others that are experiencing the same issue. although there have been many attempt to correct the problem there seems to be an unwillingness to help or diagnose the issue. many repairs have been done and has not resolved the issue or temporarily fixs it and then right back to the same issue.

My 2004 dodge durango has the 5.7 hemi. during heavy rains the engine would start to run rough and the electrical system shut down on me three different times in the middle of driving due to the rain. during this electrical shutdown steering was impossible and i would have to stop the vehicle in the middle of traffic. the vehicle did this to me one time in the middle of turning at an intersection. fortunately no accident occured. i found that the issue was being caused by a faulty seal at the wiper cowl. this leak later blew my engine as the water leak found it's way into the cylinders and blew a piston rod. i was told that this defect has been reported to chrysler by hundreds of people.
