Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing musty odors from the AC system, often attributed to mold, mildew, or bacteria growth in the damp environment of the AC unit. These unpleasant smells can be caused by stagnant water in the system or a dirty cabin air filter. To combat these odors, owners are advised to regularly check and replace the cabin air filter, clean the AC system's drain lines to prevent moisture buildup, and use products designed to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and mold. Additionally, some owners report engine jerking during acceleration, which may indicate underlying engine problems that require professional inspection and diagnosis. It is recommended that owners address both the musty odor and engine jerking issues promptly to ensure their vehicle operates properly and provides a comfortable driving experience.
