I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE DURANGO FROM BLEECKER DODGE IN DUNN, NC. I HAVE THREE COMPLAINTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT ON FILE: FIST COMPLAINT: MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE TERRIBLE NOISES THAT REQUIRED ME TO TAKE IT FOR SERVICE. THE SOUNDS WERE SCRAPING NOISES COMING FROM THE STEERING COMPONENTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED. SECOND COMPLAINT: DURING THE COLD WEATHER MONTHS, I WAS WARMING MY VEHICLE AND HAD SCRAPED THE ICE FROM MY WINDSHIELD. THE DEFROST WAS ON. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. EXACT DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS UNKNOWN TO ME BUT IT WAS DURING ONE OF OUR SNOWS. IT HAS LEFT ME WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TAKEN NO STEPS AS OF YET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIRD COMPLAINT: EVEN MORE RECENTLY, MY "CHECK GUAGES" LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE SHOWS NO OIL PRESSURE. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHILCLE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BLEECKER WILL NOT BE BACK IN UNTIL MONDAY. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE THIS WEEKEND. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2003.*AK

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A WEIRD RUBBING NOISE ON THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY DODGE DURANGO. BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT IN TO GET WORKED ON, I RAN OVER A SMALL POT HOLE. THE UPPER BALL BEARING JOINT BROKE. I WAS TOLD THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS DOING AN INVESTIGATION. CAN YOU HELP? OR CAN I HELP? *LA

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MPH THERE WAS SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER REPLACED ROTORS. AND PADS, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE. *SC *JB

HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED ON A 2003 DODGE DURGANO AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND TRUCK IS STILL RIDING AND HANDLING BADLY. DEALERS DO NOT TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUS. WHAT CAN I DO.*AK

WHILE SITTING IN VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING POWER WINDOWS AND AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, POWER TO THE AIR CONDITIONER AND WINDOWS RETURNED. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK

DODGE DURANGO AXLE AND TIRE FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BROKE OFF AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE; I BELIEVE THE ISSUE HAD TO DO WITH THE UPPER BALL JOINT OF THE DODGE DURANGO.*AK
