CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES CAUSED ONE TO RUPTURE. DEALER STATES THAT LINES WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND WERE NO LONGER MADE OR SUPPLIED FROM DODGE. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SOME OTHER DODGE VEHICLES (NEON). *TR
THE BRAKES IN THE 1999 DODGE DURANGO FAILED WHILE TRAILING A Y BOAT. I HAD THE TRUCK FLAT BED TO THE SERVICE STATION. I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED AT THE BOAT RAMP SO NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LINES REPLACED. THEY WERE COMPLETELY ROTTED. I DON'T THINK THAT A TRUCK THAT IS 8 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE BRAKELINES ROTTED AS BAD AS THESE WERE. THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WERE THE WORST HE HAD EVER SEEN. I HAD HIM SAVE SOME OF THE OLD BRAKELINE FOR ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFTEY HAZARD, ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED.*AK
THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HIS FRONT BRAKES FAILED TWICE. *TC THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR ON WET SLIPPERY ROADS WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND WOULD PULL TO THE SIDE SO HARD THAT ONE MUST CONTROL THE VEHICLE FROM SPINNING OUT. *SC *JB
THE BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE BALL JOINT IS CRACKED AND I HAVE READ THAT THE BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON THE DURANGO ALSO. *AK
AT 10 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION. CONSUMER STATED THAT ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAILED. *AK
CONSUMER STATED THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE PAD HAD DISINTEGRATED WHICH IMAGED THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM WAS MAINLY UNDER WET CONDITIONS AND WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. SCC *JB
WHEN PULLING TRAILER BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT THE FIRST TIME I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE SECOND TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER TIRE TOTALLY LOCKED UP AND PUT A FLAT SPOT ON TIRE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & THEY SAY EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. IT DID THIS ALL THE WAY HOME FROM OUR TRIP. FURTHERMORE, THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM, IT WANDERS. THE FOG LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK AS WELL & THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH.
WHEN USING THE BRAKES TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE, SEVERE SHAKING RESULTS.DEALER UNABLE TO FIX AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS.DODGE ENGINEERS APPARENTLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. LITIGATION PENDING.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
