Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE SEEN YOUR RECENT REQUEST FOR CHRYSLER TO RECALL THE DURANGO BECAUSE OF THE UPPER BALL JOINTS. THE RECALL REQUEST WAS 2000-2004 DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS AND FRONT AXALS IN MY TRUCK TWICE . THIS IS THE SAME BODY STYLE AS 2000 THR 2004 . WHY ARE THEY NOT REQUESTING RECALL ON THE 1999 DURANGOS TO? *JB
I HAVE HAD TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED ON MY 1999 DURANGO TWICE. ONCE AT 23883 MILES (7/31/01) AND AGAIN AT 45534 MILES AND BALL JOINTS REPLACED AT 45534(9/03/2004. BOTH TIMES THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY UNSTABLE. I WROTE TO DODGE AND CALLED WITH THE ONLY RESPONSE THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A QUALIFIED DODGE DEALER DO THE WORK, WHICH I HAD, BOTH TIMES. MY CONCERN IS WITH ALL THE FRONT END ISSUES I'VE HAD, WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE SOMETING AGAIN IN ANOTHER 20,000 MILES AND IS THE VEHICLE SAFE?*AK

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
