1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

RECOMMENDATIONS REPLACE BOTH LOWER BALL JOINTS THEY SAID IT HAD WORN LOOSE BUT IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE LOOSE. AND ANOTHER THING IS THERE A COTTER PIN TO HOLD THE NUT ON THERE SO ETHER THERE WAS NO PIN OR THE PIN WAS NOT FOLDED OR BEND CORRECT AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAID BECAUSE STEERING LINKING ON LEET SIDE BROKE CAUSE BOTH LOWER BALL JOINT TO WEAR .AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT I NEED 4WHEEL ALIGNMENT I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR THAT.BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE FRONT TIRE WORN ON EVEN BECAUSE OF STEERING LINKAGE .END CLOSING HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT.GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH. I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS AND ALL OF A SUDDENT THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG" AND THE TRUCK "BUCKED" AND THAN THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE PARKWAY AND INTO A LOT. I NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID MY TRANSMISSION IS "SHOT". I ONLY HAVE 16,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS 2 YEARS OLD!! THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW IF I'LL GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR A REBUILT ONE......IT DEPENDS ON WHAT CHRYSLER SENDS THEM.*AK

OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO AND ENGINE STALLED. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD GOING VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MANIFOLD WAS REMOVED REVEALING SLUDGE COVERING EVERYTHING INSIDE. CHRYSLER CLAIM PROBLEM CAUSED BY LACK OF MAINTENANCE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH IS AT 7500 MILES AS I DO ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY AND SAY WE NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED HOME AND LOOKING AT THE BLOCK IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DRAINAGE IN THE BLOCK. THERE ARE POCKETS ALL ALONG THE INSIDE WHERE OIL COULD NOT POSSIBLY ESCAPE UNLESS THE CAR WAS LITERALLY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. THESE ENGINE ARE DEFECTIVE. ALL DURANGO OWNERS NEED HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHRYSLER REPLACES ALL OF THESE LEMONS. PLEASE HELP US.*AK

MOTOR WAS KNOCKING UNDER ACCELERATION. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR ENGINE KNOCKING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT MOTOR WAS GONE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

THREE WINDOWS ON MY 99 DODGE DURANGO HAVE FAILED. ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STILL WORKS. THIS IS ODD BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE WHICH IS USED THE MOST BY FAR. I FIND IT HIGHLY UNUSUAL THAT ALL THREE OF THE OTHER WINDOW MOTORS HAVE FAILED. I BELIEVE THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE WINDOW MOTORS ON MY VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND IF DODGE HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS.

CONSUMER WAS ABOUT TO SWITCH LANES AND STEERING GOT STUCK. CONSUMER SLAMMED BRAKES AND VEHICLE LANDED UP ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD AND WENT INTO BUSH. DEALER CLAIMED THAT WATER PUMP/ SERPENTINE BELT FAILED. *AK

CONSUMER RAN OFF THE ROAD AND RAN RIGHT INTO A PAIR OF TREES. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPOLY. THIS WAS SECOND TIME THAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
