I PAID APRX $400 FOR NEW TIRES MAY 18 2018. ON 6/29 ON HIGHWAY I HAD A BLOW OUT. HAD TO FIND A WALMART IN DAPHNE AL TO GET NEW TIRE. THEY SAID OH MAYBE FROM THE HEAT AND KEPT MAKING EXCUSES BUT BOTTOM LINE TIRES WERE ABOUT A MONTH OLD WAS NO REASON THAT SHOULD HAPPENED. SO WE REPLACED THE TIRE AND WOULDNT LET ME KEEP BLOWN OUT ONE FOR PROOF. NOW PAST COUPLE WEEKS THR SAME TIRE THEY REPLACED HAS BEEN GETTING LOW OVER AND OVER. TODAY GO OUT AND BASICALLY WAS FLAT TO RIM . I GO GET AIR AND SEE BUBBLES FROM IN BETWEEN TREADS THANKS TO UT BEING WET OUTSIDE. COME TO WALMART AGAIN AND NOW FIGHT BEGINS BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A TIRE A THIRD TIME OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED RECALLED! LUCKIKY FIRST TIME WE DIDN'T GET HURT OR CAUSE ACCIDENT WHILE DOING 70MPH ON HIGHWAY. SECOND TIME SAME TIRE LUCKILY MY SISTER NOTICED IT BEFORE WE GOT ON HIGHWAY.
I WAS TOLD THAT THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAVE HAD SO MANY FRONT END ISSUES ON ONE VEHICLE THAN THIS ONE. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THE 2 WHEEL DRIVE DODGE DURANGO, REAR WHEEL DRIVE. 5.2L ENGINE THIS VEHICLE DID HAVE A RECALL ISSUED ON THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. *TR
2000 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN MY CAR HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT, THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE BALL JOINTS. MY DURANGO NOW HAS 100,000+ MILES AND IT IS MAKING THE SAME POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT NEEDS NEW BALL JOINTS AGAIN. I FEEL DODGE REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS AS THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE I WAS TOLD VIA E-MAIL THAT WARRANTY WAS ONLY UNTIL 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THEY DID NOT COUNT ON OWNERS KEEPING THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND. *JB

I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED ABOUT STEERING PROBLEM WITH 2000 DODGE DURANGO. I PAID NEARLY $2,000.00 IN OCTOBER 2003 TO HAVE PROBLEM FIXED. IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT.

THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO THE DODGE DURANGO FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS WEARING OUT PREMATURELY. AT 28,433 MILES I EXPERIENCED FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AT 38,801 MILES "THEY" WERE ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT AND REAR SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS. AT 45,390 MILES THE PROBLEM REOCURRED AND THE TIE RODS, UPPER BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AGAIN!

I RECENTLY HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 DODGE DURRANGO. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND AT A RATE OF ABOUT 55-60 MPH. MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. THE NEXT THING I NEW I HEARD THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BUST AND I WAS ABOUT 2 FEET FROM HITTING A NORTH BOUND CAR. THE CAR HEADING NORTH BOUND PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY CAR TO MY RIGHT. AFTER HAVING MY CAR TOWED AND CHECKED BY A MECHANIC I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO PIN HOLDING THE WHEELBEARING IN PLACE. THIS CAUSED MY WHEELBEARING TO COME OFF MY CAR, THE TIRE TO BURST, THE RIM TO CRACK IN 1/2 AND THE BRAKE LINE TO BE CUT. THE MECHANIC THAT IS FIXING MY VEHICLE SAYS THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, WHICH NEARLY KILLED ME. I CALLED DODGE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM, TO PREVENT THIS SAME TRAGEDY FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM DODGE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IF I WANTED TO BE SURE MY CARE WAS "SAFE" I COULD PAY A DODGE MECHANIC TO DO A SAFETY CHECK ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SUGGEST THAT I CONTACT YOUR AGENCY TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
WHEN REQUIRING TO STOP QUICKLY, FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP, AND VEHICLE SKIDS, REAR ANTI-LOCKS WORK BUT DONT KEEP VEHICLE FROM SKIDDING. CLICKING NOISE FROM UNDER DASH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HAVE HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. EVEN AT 35 MPH ON DRY STREET THEY STILL LOCK UP. DEALER WOULDNT TALK TO ME, REFERED ME TO DODGE COMPLAINTS, THEY TESTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND READ THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO FAILURE IN BRAKING SYSTEM.
