2000 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

FRONT END WAS MAKING NOISE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY DETERMINED THAT THE UPPER BALL JOINTS BROKE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *AK *MR

I HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE AND BOUGHT A DURANGO TO SAFELY TRANSPORT THEM. I AM STARTING TO HEAR THE FRONT SUPENSION CREEKING AND POPPING. BEING NO STRANGER TO AUTOMOBILES I AM SURE IT IS THE BALLJOINTS. I DONT HAVE TO PAY A MECHANIC TO TELL ME THAT. DODGE MUST RECALL THIS IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT WILL HURT THEIR SALES IF THEY DON'T

DURING A ROUTINE VICHICLE INSPECTION, IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE MACHANIC THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE UPPER BALL JOINT WEAR AND THAT REPLACE MENT OF THE UPPER BALL JOINTS MIGHT BE REQUIRED. THE 2000 DODGE DURANGO HAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES WHICH IS TOO SOON FOR UPPER BALL JOINTS TO BE WEARING OUT.

MY CHILDREN AND I WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN WHICH WE WERE HIT IN THE REAR, AND THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, WHICH ALSO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF THEM.OUR 2000 DODGE DURANGO APPEARS TO HAVE FAULTY SAFETY MECHANISMS, AND OTHER HAZARDS, FOR NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED, AND BOTH FRONT SEATS COLLAPSED.*AK

BALL JOINT FAILURE. IT APPEARS THIS IS OF EPIDEMIC PROPORTION AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS FOR BOTH THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER VEHICHLES. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIRES, AND MECHANIC NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND WORN OUT DUE TO WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALSO, BOTH UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CORROSION. *AK

THE FRONT END SHAKES REAL BAD WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES HIGH SPEEDS. THE BALL JOINTS WERE CHECKED AND REPLACED, IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM, NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IT NORMAL FOR A DODGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SENSITIVE AND WHEN IT WAS PRESSED FELT LIKE THE ROTORS WHERE WARPED. *CB

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER BALL JOINT FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. THERE IS A CONSTANT SQUEAKING NOISE WHICH BECOMES LOUDER WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR TURNING THE WHEEL. A DEALERSHIP HAD FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME AND THEN HAD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN ONLY DAYS LATER, STATING THAT IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT HAS BECOME A REPETITIVE PROBLEM, STARTING AT ONLY 20,000 MILES AND CONTINUING ON. * CB
