| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After loading our boat at a reservoir and prepping the boat on the trailer, i started the durango to leave the lake, and the engine was knocking. a guy from the marina came by and said "it's knocking isn't it, that is the third dodge this summer. after having it towed to the nearest dealer and waiting a week for a diagnosis i was told that there is an evacuation canister mounted on the frame rail about mid-vehicle. if the vent to this canister gets in the water it will suck water into the intake of the engine. the engine had hydro-locked and was destroyed. i was told that even though we only had 37,000 miles on the vehicle, chrysler would not warranty this because it was considered submerged.6 weeks and $7000.00 in repairs and rental car fees, we have finally gotten our vehicle back. i was told by the mechanic that getting in water up to the hubs of the rear wheels, i would be at risk of this happening again. i am not sure that it was even in that deep when it happened the first time. i am going to get rid of this vehicle immediately. *tr |
