1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE CONSUMER REPLACE THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS. *NLM

THERE WAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER FELT THE RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED (RECALL NUMBER 98 V 184 000). *NLM

STOP ABRUPTEDLY ON DRY ROADS UNDER 45 MPH AND THE CONSUMER THINKS THAT THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE SKID INTO THE INTERSECTION. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WOULD DROP VERY LOW. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND ADVISED THAT IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER HEARD A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE PUMP HAD FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE TECHNICIAN WOULD NEED TO REBUILD THE ENGINE. *NLM

AFTER PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I STEPPED HARD ON THE BRAKES AND 4WAL ABS BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 OR 20 MPH. THIS IS THE 2ND ACCIDENT IN 6 MONTHS BUT DODGE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS DID MORE DAMAGE THAN THE 1ST ACCIDENT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM?

WHILE DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY, VEHICLES IN FRONT CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WENT TO STEP HARD ON BRAKES BUT PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AND DID A LOT OF DAMAGE. DODGE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.

UPON GETTING VEHICLE INSPECTED IT FAILED DUE TO WORN BALL JOINTS. BOTH OF THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND UPPER DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT MUST BE REPLACED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS AND LOOKING THRU YOUR COMPLAINTS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP.

FRONT LEFT WHEEL MAKES CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS FOR SERVICE (OVER 10 TIMES) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2000. *NLM

THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 4/22/03 AND DROVE IT FOR 3 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING . THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 4/25/03 AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE THAT DAY, BUT TO BRING IT BACK ON 4/28/03. HE TOOK IT BACK TODAY, AND THE DEALER STATED THE POPPING NOISE THE CONSUMER HEARD WAS THE STEERING GEAR BOX WHICH HAD FAILED, AND THE COST FOR REPLACEMENT WAS BETWEEN $700.00 - $1000.00. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE BECAME DISCONNECTED, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
