2000 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

CONSUMER REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS IN AUGUST 2003. AS OF TODAY PASSENEGER'S SIDE BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER WAS FRUSTRATED. *AK *TT

APRIL L. RAY(SPOUSE), TOLD ME OF NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, AROUND WHEEL WELLS, BEFORE I COULD HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO, TODAY(DECEMBER 19, 2004), MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN WOODROW KAY RD. IN ROCKMART GA., AS SHE DROVE UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THAT BARED TO THE LEFT, SHE NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE, BEFORE SHE COULD GET OVER THE HILL, AND CLEAR OF ANY TRAFFIC, SHE HEARD A SNAP OR POP SOUND, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BOWED OUT AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHICH IN AN INSTANT THREW HER ACROSS THE OPPOSITE LANE AND INTO THE EMBANKMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER HITTING THE EMBANKMENT THE VEHICLE CAME TO A REST ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUMPER, THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY BOWED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CURRENT INSURANCE CLAIM, BUT WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR OF THE RESULTS, WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN TWO FALSE CITATIONS FOR HER DRIVING ABILITY. *JB

WINDOW MOTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THREE OUT OF FOUR WINDOWS...AND I AM THE ONLY DRIVER/OPERATOR! NOW THE LEFT REAR WINDOW IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND OF COURSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SO IT WILL COST ME ANOTHER COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A WINDOW THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED!*AK

FRONT LEFT WHEEL FELL OFF CAUSING CRASH AND COLLISION INTO GUARD RAIL, $10,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE STILL WAITING FOR RESPONSE FROM DODGE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND CHANGING LANES CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND. CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WHEEL WAS TITLED OUTWARD. *AK

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, THE NEW FRONT END TIRES WERE WORN OUT AND A SQUEEKING NOISE WAS ASSOCIATED. T IRES LOST TRACTION IN TURNS CAN LEAD TO ROLLOVERS. RONT CONTROL ARM/UPPER & LOWER WERE REPLACED WITH 4 NEW TIRES. SQUEAKING IN FRONT END STILL NOTICEABLE AND UNREPAIRED.*AK

DOOR MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN LOCKING, AND DOSEN'T UNLOCK BY REMOTE HAVE TO UNLOCK DOOR FOR PASSENGER TO GET IN, ALSO WHEN AOUTO LOCK ENGAGES MAKE REALY LOUD NOISE, TOOK DURANGO IN WHILE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR WAS OUT. THIS SEEMS LIKE ITS A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP OR THE PARTS THAT CONTROLE THE LOCKING MACHANISM, NOTICES OTHER DURANGOS HAVEING THE SAME PROBLEM MUST BE RECALLED , AND I HAVE LESS THAN 40K MILES ON DURANGO SO ITS NOT FROM PROLONG USE ITS A DEFECT!*AK

I HAVE A 200 DODGE DURANGO, I;D HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR NOW I RECENTLY HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHCICLE THE MASTE SWICTH TO THE WINDOW DOESN'T WORK. THE WINDOW GETS STUCK AND IT COMES UP AND WHEN IT WANTS TO. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE COMPLIANTS ON THIS VEHCILE AND OTHERS CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO NOW THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT UNLOCKING ALSO. I WAS WONDERING IF IT IS A MANUFACTOR PROBLEM?

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 65 MPH CAR STALLED. CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES AS WELL. SHE THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD COMING TO A STOP.*AK

WINDING SOUND IN STEERING WHEN TUNING WHEEL,HORIBLE SOUND WHILE TURNING WHEELS AND BACKING UP,DOOR LOCKS ARE IN LOCKED POSITION (CAN'T OPEN TO GET OUT OF CAR AND LOUD SOUND GOING OFF WHEN DOOR LOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO SELF LOCK AT 25 MPH)BOUGHT CAR IN 2001, AFTER 6 MO TOOK CAR TO DEARERSHIP TO REPORT PROBLEMS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. STILL HAVE PAPERWORK TO SHOW OF THE COMPLAINTS.I HAVE 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN I TAKE CARE OF AND TRANSPORT IN THE VEHICLE. HOPE YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR YOU WILL REALLY BE OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE LESS THAT 60,000 MILES ON SUV SO THIS CAN'T BE DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. ( I MARKED OEM YES IF THAT PERTAINS TO ORIGINAL PARTS ON SUV). *AK
