1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

EVERYTIME I START OR STOP MY DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES, CREAKS AND SNAPS. HAVE BEEN TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES FROM DEALER/MANUFACTURER THAT IT IS "NORMAL." ALSO, A SECOND PROBLEM: I HAD TO HAVE THE AIR DIVERTER REPLACED ONLY BECAUSE THE FOAM COVERING HAD BECOME UNGLUED. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER STILL DENY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

WHILE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY WHILE IN PARK, RESULTING IN A COLLISION. *AK THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND KEY WAS OUT OF IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WARDS AND AN OPEN DOOR STRUCK A TREE. *YH

UPON COLD START WHEN PLACING VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND DRIVE, AND UPON DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL GETS VERY HARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGE IN ORDER TO STOP VEHICLE. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER HAS YET TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

MY CAR STARTED MAKING THESE LOUD NOISES LIKE A TRUCK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE BARONS, AND THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY NOT PUTTING OIL IN THE CAR OR RACING IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WILL COST $4000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGE EVERY 3 MONTHS, AND I GO TO BALTIMORE, MD AND WASHINGTON DC ABOUT TWICE A WEEK. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT, IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY LIFTGATE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. AFTER CLOSER INVESTIGATION IT WAS REASONABLY CONCLUDED THT THE GLASS MUST HAD BEEN DEFECTED. BECAUSE FOR IT TO JUST SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTER LIKE THAT WAS ODD. *AK

THE CONSUMER HAD THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND THE ROTORS RESURFACED, HOWEVER AFTER REPAIRS THE BRAKES ARE MAKING NOISE. *MJS

WHILE USING THE A/C HOT AIR WILL COME OUT INSTEAD OF COLD AIR, AND WINDOW HAD TO BE ROLLED DOWN. *AK CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONED, SUDDENLY JERKED FROM 55MPH TO 85MPH AND THEN TO 35MPH. *YH

AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A SEMAPHORE CONTROLLED INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND TRAFFIC PROCEEDED TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION. AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP, I STEPPED HARD ONCE ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. I EVEN HAD TIME TO LOOK DOWN TO BE SURE THAT MY FOOT WAS INDEED ON THE BRAKE BEFORE LOOKING UP TO WATCH AS I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.*AK
