Alternator having to replace. There is a ticking sound that has been going on and the alternator goes out. I have replaced this part twice and each time before it goes out it starts to tick. Also have a brand new battery installed and it is dead again! Each time the alternator goes out it kills my battery. 2008 dodge Durango.

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR THE STREET AT 40 TO 50 MPH MY 2008 DODGE DURANGO ALMOST LOSES CONTROL WHENEVER I HIT A GROOVE IN THE ROAD OR THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. MY SUSPENSION HAS BEEN CHECK SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING IS EVER FOUND TO BE WRONG. I WAS RECENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER RECALL WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THIS WAS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OR THE "ROAD WALK". WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY TRUCK CAN LITERALLY SKIP INTO THE NEXT LANE. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE SUVS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. MY FIRST STEP IS TO FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY TO MAKE YOU GUYS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND I'VE IGNORED IT THINKING THAT IS JUST THE WAY THESE TRUCKS ARE MADE, BUT AFTER ALMOST LOSING CONTROL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

ON NOVEMBER 24, 2017 CAR PURCHASED FROM PINELLAS AUTO BROKERS, INC. LOCATED AT 4600 66TH STREET NORTH, ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA. THE NEXT MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 2017,CAR WAS TAKEN FOR OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED FRAME RESTORATION AND THEN APPLY FOR A SALVAGE TITLE AFTER INSPECTION, NONE OF WHICH WAS DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. SALESPERSON ASSURED ME THAT NO VEHICLES COME TO THE LOT WITH ANY MAJOR DAMAGE, ONLY MINOR ISSUES. PER MECHANIC, NOT ROAD WORTHY AND IS OUTSIDE MECHANICAL LIMITS; NOT ONLY A DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN THIS CAR WITH MY 2 CHILDREN (AGES 3 & 6). MY MOTHER PAID FOR THE CAR VIA DEBIT CARD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE FOR SELLING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION PUTS ITSELF INTO 4WD SOMETIMES WITH AN INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT, SOMETIMES WITHOUT. IT DOES THIS BOTH WHEN STOPPED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT WHEN I SEARCHED THIS ONLINE. IT'S A 2008 MODEL BUT IT'S A RELATIVELY NEW CAR FOR ME SO, THAT IS WHY I'M JUST MENTIONING IT NOW. IN THE FEW MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THIS HAS HAPPENED NO FEWER THAN 10 TIMES. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DID NOT CRASH ON EITHER OF THOSE OCCASIONS BUT, IT WAS VERY CLOSE BOTH TIMES. THE SECOND TIME, AFTER LURCHING VERY HARD ACROSS TWO LANES, IT THEN KICKED INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR EVEN CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP. INSTEAD, I WAS STUCK IN AN ACTIVE LANE TO WAIT ON A TOW TRUCK. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT. I WAS JUST STRANDED. IF THIS WAS JUST ME, I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN HERE. BUT, AS I SAID, I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME MATTER DATING BACK THE PAST DECADE OR SO. I LIVE IN DUBAI, UAE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE NUMBER IN THE INFORMATION BELOW IS A VERY OLD HOME PHONE NUMBER FROM WHEN I LIVED IN THE US. THE ATTACHED FORM WOULDN'T TAKE MY ACTUAL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 DURANGO FROM HERB CHAMBERS FEB 4, 2013 SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR SEVERAL SUSPENSION NOISES (AT LEAST 3 TIMES) IN OCT 2013 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK IN COMPLAINING THAT THE SUSPENSION IS NOISY OVER ALL TYPES OF BUMPS. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED IT OUT AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE STABILIZER LINKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE ORDERED, THAT IS WHEN THE WAITING GAME STARTED. I AM STILL WAITING ON THE LINKS AND MY VEHICLE IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THAT WHEN TAKING TURNS, GOING OVER BUMPS (BIG OR SMALL) THERE IS TONS OF POPPING, CRACKING AND EXCESSIVE RATTLING HAPPENING. MY TIRES ARE WEARING AND I AM GETTING SCARED BECAUSE I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN BREAKING WITH WHEEL LOCK UP!! I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I AM FOREVER DRIVING AROUND TO DIFFERENT SPORTS GAMES AND DANCE COMPETITIONS. I AM REALLY WORRIED. I HAVE A CASE WITH THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER FOR CHRYSLER BUT I JUST KEEP GETTING E MAILS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS STILL NO KNOWN DATE AS TO WHEN THESE BACKORDERED PARTS WILL BE IN AND HOW SORRY WE ARE THAT THEY ARE NOT HERE AS OF YET, BUT THAT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS THEY ARE IN. I AM HAVING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND I WANT THIS FIXED IT IS UNFAIR THAT I PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT FROM THE START AND NOW THIS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THEY SHOULD BE PROVIDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS CAUSING OTHER ISSUES WITH WORN TIRES, ALIGNMENT, AND BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A ROLL OVER. THE ROADS IN MASSACHUSETTS ARE AT THEIR WORST EVER WHICH MAKE DRIVING REALLY BAD TO BEGIN WITH SO HAVING A SUSPENSION PROBLEM WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT REALLY STINKS. NOT FEELING SAFE!! *TR

TAKATA RECALL OVER THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEGIN SEEING A LOT OF RUST SPOTS ON SEVERAL PARTS OF THE HOOD, BODY AND BACK OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD USED VEHICLES OF DIFFRENT BRAND THAT PAINT HELD UP BUT, MY VEHICLE IS WHITE AND THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE. LACK OF USING THE CORRECT RUST TREATMENT IN THE PAINT BY MANUFACTURE CLEARLY COULD IS THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND LOOKED INTO. THE USE OF SHORT CUTS AND CHEAP PRODUCT IS UNFAIR TO THE THOUSANDS THAT I'VE PAD OUT. TAKATA RECALL, CLEARLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER AS YEAR TO HAVE MY AIR BAGS REPLACED. THE FACT IS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY TO DO THE REPLACEMENT. HOW MUCH SINCE DOES IT MAKE TO DO ONE AND NOT BOTH AT ONCE. INSTEAD THEY WANT TO CAUSE HARDSHIP TO MJE AND KEEP MY VEHICLE WITHOUT A RENTAL AND THEN INCONVIUENCE ME TO COME BACK TO HAVE THE OTHER REPLACED. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS AIR BAG KILLS ME OR ME AD MY PASSENGER THEN WHAT!!!!!!!

the seatbelt was pulled to fasten and it just kept coming out and finally locked and will not recoil so passenger seat belt is inoperable

MY 80 YEAR OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW COULD NOT GET SEAT BELT RELEASED. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO GET HER OUT AND COULDN'T. WE HAD TO CUT THE BELT. *KB
