1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

1999 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 BOUGHT IN SEPT. 07, WITHIN TWO WEEKS LOST OF OIL PRESSURE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING JUST OVER 150 MILES, OIL PRESSURE GOES TO ZERO AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. HAD TO PUT 4.5 QTS OF OIL. LATER ON DURING THE TRIP THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING UNLESS GOING ABOVE 50 MPH. ALSO AT THE SAME TIME THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYS ON. GOING TO START WITH REPLACING THE SPEED SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION. HOPEFULLY THIS SOLVES THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAD OVER $891.83 IN REPAIRS AND ALIGNMENT AND HAD TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS ( ANOTHER $800+). *TR

1999 5.2L 2WHEEL DRIVE DODGE DURANGO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED. A "NOBUS" INDICATOR CAME ON THE ODOMETER AND THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING OF COURSE FAILED TO WORK SINCE THE ENGINE HAD QUIT. THIS VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND FORCED HER TO SIT DEAD IN TRAFFIC FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART. IT HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET HOME, BUT FORTUNATLEY AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS.

WE HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS OF ALL GAUGES GOING DEAD. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MIS-DIAGNOSIS AT OUR EXPENSE TOTALING $730.00 WITH NO RESULTS. THE DEALERSHIP ASKED US TO BRING IT BACK FOR THEM TO DO MORE REPAIRS. OBVIOUSLY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY.*JB UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR
