2004 Dodge Durango problem

 

In January 13, 2004, the 2004 Dodge Durango was reported to have defects that can cause the throttle to be detached openly which may cause accidents and crash. 21,000 estimated vehicles are affected specifically the models using the 3.7-liter V-6 or 4.7-liter V-8 engine. Free from the said defects are Durangos powered by the 5.7-liter V-8 Hemi engine. However many of the defective vehicles are out in the market and has been purchased and even used by customers.

 

Thus DaimlerChrysler warned dealers to stop selling the said car model. They were asked to inform their customers to prevent further untoward accidents. Investigation shows that the problem is caused by water leakage into the throttle cable housing. Exposure to extremely cold temperature can cause the throttle to stick openly and risk thousands of innocent lives.
