HAVE HAD CAR IN DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES FOR VARIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. FINALLY ON THE 7TH TRIP, THEY ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM NOW, IS EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR IS 3000 MILES SHORT OF WARRANTY EXPIRATION. CAR APPEARS TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH FROM 1ST TO 2ND RAPIDLY (OSCILLATES), WHEN DOWNSHIFTED AND THROTTLE HELD OPEN. CAR BUCKS LIKE A BRONCO. VERY DANGEROUS.

FRONT SUSPENSION/BALL BEARINGS COMPLETELY GONE. OIL PRESSURE GAGE DROPS TO 0 EVEN AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON.

OIL PRESSURE GUAGE WOULD READ NORMAL THEN DROP TO 0 AND BOUNCED BACK AND FORTH,SOMETIMES NOT COMING BACK UP FOR AWHILE, HAD CHECKED OUT AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS,ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND ONLY 4000 MILES LATER I HAVE A 57,000 MILE BLOWN ENGINE...*AK

MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR VERIFICATION BUT WOULD NOT ENSURE REPLACEMENT. MY DEALER HAS THE PARTS IN STOCK FOR REPLACEMENT. THE DATES CANNOT BE CERTIFIED AS EXACT, JUST WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS.*AK
