What owners wrote
Driving 2004 dodge durango accelerator got stuck to floor. Preening the brake, vehicle caught on fire. The incident was due a manufacturer's defect per fire inspection. Other problems were; the electric remote was inoperative, there was a delay in the shift when the A/C was on and there was a lot of water coming from the A/C.
Had driven truck earlier in day had no issues at all. Drove and sounded like it always did!! Went to start it that evening to get daughter from school event and it made a horrible noise and wouldn't start! Mechanic said it was starter. After 2 days of waiting for a starter that noone keeps in stock! Put it on and nothing! Mechanic said it was stuck flywheel. He got it to turn over but the motor was knocking very loud!! Now I'm without a car because I do not have the money for a new motor!!
