1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE GASOLINE TANK STRAP BROKE WHILE IN MOTION IN THE CITY AND THE TANK WAS AT 1/8 FILLED UP. THE SAME DAY OF THE ISSUE I SEARCH ONLINE AT NHTSA.GOV SITE AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TO FIX IT THEY CLAIM MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE.

THE DURANGO ACTS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT I'VE CHANGED THE SENSORS A WHILE BACK AND I'VE HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND IT STILL KEEPS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND IT JUST KEEPS RPMS ARE GOING WAY HIGH LIKE UP TO FIVE AND SIX BEFORE IT'LL SHIFT AND THEN IT STILL DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT UNLESS YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS IT JUST CHUGS AND CHUGS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT

ABS PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ON. NO CODE COMES THROUGH SCANNER. TRANSMISSION DRAGS AND SHIFTS IMPROPERLY THROUGHOUT. DURING SLIPPERY SNOW CONDITIONS NOT ABLE TO BRAKE WITH ABS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE MANY REVIEWS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DURANGO AND THIS SHOULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT MATTER DUE TO ALL THE DODGE DURANGOSO ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TO A COUPLE MECHANICS THAT DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS AND THAT IS NOT OK. SAFETY FIRST!

ECM SHUTS MY DURANGO OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HEAT FROM ENGINE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FROM MY SONS FOOTBALL GAME WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE I LOSE ALL POWER AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, JUST BARELY WAS I ABLE TO AVOID CAUSING A MULTIPLE VEHICLE PILEUP ALSO ABS POPS UP FOR MOST OF THE TIME.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. YES IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREET LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE INTERNET UNDER THIS MODEL AND YEAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE ONE OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS I HAVE E MAILED [email protected] SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY PRETEND THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY CONTINUE TO PUT UP A SMOKE SCREEN, I HAVE COPIES OF THE CORRESPONDENCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT, THE CAR IS PARKED SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. ...UPDATED 04/11/17 *BF *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUEL TANK STRAP DETACHED FROM THE MEDAL THAT HELD UP THE FUEL THANK. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL TANK STRAP WAS CORRODED IN PIECES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 99V3420000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,000.

ANOTHER RANDOMLY STALLING DURANGO. SOMETIMES STARTS BACK IMMEDIATELY, SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW HOURS.

ABS LIGHT AND BREAK LIGHT COME ON AFTER ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS THIS COULD BE A RECALL ON THIS

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAYS MY CAR SHUTS DOWN AND I LOSE STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SLOW DOWN AND MOVE TO SIDE OF ROAD. AFTER 10 TO 15 MIN L CAN RESTART MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STALLS OUT, I KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BALL JOINTS, MY SWAY BAR OR CHAIN HAS BUSTED, SEAT BELT FOR DRIVER WILL NOT RETRACT, RUST AND EROSION HAS BEEN SO BAD THAT I ACTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY, AND I HAVE NO HEAT.
