2004 Dodge Durango limited from North America - Comments

"The Jury is still out. Is this a start of my problems?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought the car and before I could get off the car lot, it would not start unless I pumped the gas pedal. I was told it was needing to be driven. at 6,000 miles, the check engine light came on. It is now in the shop with need of all new injectors. Two days in a rental. I rented a Ford f150 crew cab. nice... I also have problems with the air bag light indicating that they are disengaged.

General comments?

The car is still in the shop, keep you posted.

I had been on the dodge durango pleny of times with no one pumping the gas pedal. The durangos start without having some problems. I don't push the gas pedal. Otherwise, the engine will be flooded. Thanks.

You used to have a Dodge Jeep Cherokee?

Is that like a Chevy Oldsmobile Cutlass?

First off, you can't flood a fuel injection vehicle by pumping the gas pedal!!!

Second you should not pump the gas pedal on a fuel injected vehicle prior to and/or during the starting process!!!

This would explain the fuel injectors needing replacement!!!

That is correct - also on the Hemi it is ETC - Electronic Thottle Control - so there is no mechanical contact between pedal and engine, its just a spring to make it feel like it.

The OCS (Airbag lights) is an issue all manuf. are having. Its getting better though.

I own a 2004 dodge durango hemi limited and I have been having the Engine light problem for over a month, it has been into the dealer more times this month than any other car I have owned. To date they technicians cannot resolve the problem. The light goes off for 3 days and then is back again. Chrysler Customer service cannot offer any help... so good luck.
