2015 Dodge Durango Suspension Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I have not had an issue as of yet...but my insurance company has warned me of 4 recalls that are apparently active on my vehicle and told me to come to your site to verify, but it says there are zero recalls on my vehicle, so I am wary of what to do. I was told by a local mechanic that one of the things listed in the recalls was potentially a issue for me but I would need to take my vehicle to the dealership to have it rectified. I do not want to have to pay for something if it is truly on a recall! I have children and I want my vehicle to be safe not only for them, but for myself and all those on the road around me, please help me verify these recalls are not just unfounded! I will attach a screen shot of what my insurance says is being and needed recalled below!

REAR SHOCK MOUNTS ARE DEFECTIVE. I ASSUME THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. THIS RESULTS IN POOR TIRE WEAR AS THE UPPER PART OF THE SHOCK "WIGGLES" IN THE MOUNT. THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE DRIVABILITY AND REACTION OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TAKING DEFENSIVE DRIVING ACTIONS. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS YOU CAN NO LONGER BUY THIS MOUNT AND YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE SHOCK WITH MOUNT ATTACHED. THIS ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED UPON CHANGING THE SHOCKS. THIS HAS BEEN THE CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMP IN THE TERRAIN.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 DODGE DURANGO I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER ENCOUNTERING EVEN THE SMALLEST IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD. THIS WAS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A FEELING OF THE REAR END OF THE CAR NOT FEELING INTACT WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF A POTHOLE OR ANY UNEVEN SECTION OF ROAD WAS DRIVEN OVER THIS DISCONNECTED FEELING WAS MAGNIFIED. IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE CONTROL AT TIMES DUE TO THIS ACTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE REAR STRUT WAS LEAKING, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE DUE TO THIS PART BEING BACK ORDERED. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD COME IN DUE TO THE INCREDIBLY HIGH ORDER VOLUME. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A MATERIAL DEFECT IN ALL STRUTS USED IN SIMILAR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM VEHICLES.
