2000 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

ENGINE FAILURE OIL PROBLEM ORIGNAL PROBLEM WAS FUEL PUMP DEAL CLAIMS ENGINE MAKING NOISE AND IS ALSO KNOCKING. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM AUTO SHOP AND OVER THE COUNTER FOR PURCHASE OF OIL AND OIL FILTERS NJ DODGE DISTRICT MGR SAID IT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGHT THIS IS A OIL SLUDGE ISSUE WE HAVE KEPT UP MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THE WARRANTY. OTHER DODGE OWNERS ALSO HAVE SAME PROBLEM RELATED TO ALL DODGE SUV AND DODGE DAKOTA TRUCKS. I ALSO FEEL THAT IF DODGE HAD CHANGE THE OIL THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER THE WARRANTY. DT

NOVEMBER 1, 2002 OUR 2000 DODGE DURANGO MALFUNCTIONED. IT WAS TOWED INTO A DEALERSHIP WHERE AN ADJUSTER FROM OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY (NORTH AMERICAN) WAS SENT. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP, AN "UPPER PLENUM GASKET" MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING OIL TO SUCK UP INTO A PART OF THE ENGINE AND BURN UP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE BURNED OIL THEN DROPPED INTO THE OIL PAN WHERE IT WAS THEN SUCKED UP INTO THE INTAKE AND BECAME CLOGGED. NORTH AMERICAN DENIED OUR CLAIM STATING NEGLIGENCE ON OUR PART. A REPRESENTATIVE WITH NORTH AMERICAN STATED TO ME THAT THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE ADJUSTER. WE HAD TO BORROW OVER $4,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OTHER PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE POSTING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH DODGE DURANGO'S (AND NOT JUST THE YEAR 2000) CONSUMER WAS ASKING HOW COME THERE'S NO OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION HAS OPENED REGARDING VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAS FOUND 20 PLUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *LA

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE FRONT END AT 45000 MILES AND HAD TO HAVE THE UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END AGAIN. THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF RIDING ON "CLOUDS" WHEN DRIVING, EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT. CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MOVEMENT WHEN DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROAD THE SUSPENSION FELT VERY LOOSE. *AK *NLM

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT UPPER BALL JOINTS WERE SEVERELY WORN OUT. DEALER EXAMINED UPPER BALL JOINTS AND REPAIRED THEM. *AK *LA

ROTORS ARE SHOT!! ONLY 26000 MILES CAN IS MAINTAINED SUPERBLY. IVE READ OF PAST RECALLS ON BAD ROTORS BY DODGE. ROTORS WERE THIN AND RUSTING FROM INSIDE OUT HAD TO REPLACE OR RISK MAJOR ACCIDENT. DT

HAD TO REPLACE UPPERBALL JONTS AT 50K MILES ON MY 2000 DURANGO. AFTER COMPLAINING OF NOISE AT 30K MILES. DEALER STATED COULD NOT FIND OR REPORT PROBLEM. WHEN TAKEN IN FOR NEW TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT, DEALER SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE BALL JOINTS ON RIGHT SIDE. I FORGOT ABOUT MY NOISE COMPLAINT AND WOW, THE NOISE WENT AWAY WITH THE REPLACEMNT OF THE BALL JOINTS. NOW THE LEFT SIDE IS HAVING THE SOME NOISE AT 65K MILES.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION ON THE 3RD TRANSMISSION IN THE FIRST 75K. THE FIRST GEAR WENT OUT ON ALL THREE WITHIN 20K MILES OF INSTALL. *LA

THERE WAS A SQUEAKING IN THE FRONT END. 9/02 THE SWAY BAR AND SWAY BAR BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED, ONLY 37,572 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE NOW SQUEEKS AGAIN IN THE FRONT END. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT FEELS AS IF I'M DRIVING DOWN A BUMPY ROAD, THE FRONT TIRES ARE BOUNCING A LOT. BALL JOINTS? THIS IS A 2000 DODGE DURANGO THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON AUGUST 28, 2000. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ISSUED BY THE COMPANY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

AT 55MPH CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, WENT INTO A DITCH, AND VEHICLE ROLLED OVER. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF OVER DRIVE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO OVER DRIVE, "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON 5 DIFFERENT TIMES, DEALER FIRST TOLD ME I MAY NOT HAVE REPLACED GAS CAP PROPERLY AFTER FILLING WITH GAS, DEALER WORKED ON DURANGO EACH TIME UNDER WARRANTY, DEALER FINALLY CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SEALS AND RE-BOOTED OR RE-PROGRAMMED COMPUTER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FINALLY OFF. I LOST 3 DAYS ON AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP (CENTRAL OREGON)WAITING FOR A DEALER TO OPEN ON MONDAY TO CHECK IT, HE TOLD ME TO CONTINUE ON TRIP, HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. (TO GET ME FAR FROM HIS DEALERSHIP?) I LOST ABOUT TWO WEEKS USAGE OUT OF THE DURANGO AND HAVE LOST ANY FAITH IN THE CAR BEING RELIABLE AS IT HAS SEVERAL PROBLEMS. *JB

OUR 2000 DODGE DURANGO R/T - NEEDED UPPER BALL JOINT REPLACED, DUE TO THE DAMAGE THAT CAUSED- WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF OUR TIRES. *AK

THERE WAS A LOUD SQUEAKING AND CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. VEHICLE ALSO PULLED VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT. HAD IT ALIGNED TWO SEPARATE TIMES WITH NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCES. TOOK TO A ALIGNMENT SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THE UPPER BALL JOINT WAS LOOSE. THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY WORK ON SUSPENSION BEFORE ALIGNMENT. DEALERSHIP MADE 'REPAIRS' TO FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION (8-2002) NOW (7-2003), VEHICLE IS LEANING TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE PARKED. IT IS 2" LOWER ON DRIVER SIDE THEN PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO, NOW HEARING ANOTHER SQUEAKING SOUND FROM FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. VEHICLE ALSO DIVES HARD WHEN IT HITS A BUMP AT 35-65+ MPH. ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT NOW AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION ON THE SUSPENSION. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD SON AND A BABY GIRL DUE AUGUST 30TH. ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE SOUND IDENTICAL TO WHAT MY DURANGO IS DOING!*AK

THE 2000 DODGE DURANGO DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER MIRRORS ARE SO BIG AND EXTEND UP SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL CAUSE A CRASH OR INJURY. EVERY TIME I TURN TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVER SIDE. THE MIRROR IS BLOCKING THE VIEW AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE CAR TO LEFT OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT IN THE WORKS MAN DESIGN THAT I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE 1ST INCIDENT REPORTED FROM DODGE DURANGO'S OWNERS. DT

WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH HIT A CAR FROM BEHIND, PUSHING CAR ABOUT 10 YARDS. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES. *AK

THE LAST OIL CHANGE DONE BY A FRIEND FOUND CLUMPS OF OIL IN THE MOTOR. TODAY I NEED A NEW ENGINE. APPARENTLY THE OIL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY FROM THE BEGINNING. THE DAMAGE IS MAJOR. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE OIL HAD NEVER BEEN CHANGED IN MY VEHICLE. MY ENGINE LIGHT NEVER LID UP, UNTIL THE MOMENT MY ENGINE CAME APART. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM DODGE?????

WITH REFERENCE TO A 7/23/03 NEWSPAPER ARTICLE FROM THE NHTSA REGARDING 81 COMPLAINTS ALLEGING THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY ON THE DODGE DURANGOS, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THAT COUNT.*AK ON 7/16/02 I HAD THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM REPLACED ON MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO TO REMEDY A NOISE PROBLEM. THIS WAS DONE AT THE AUTO DEALER AT MY EXPENSE.

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND IGNITION TURNED OFF WHEN VEHICLE SUDDENLY ROLLED FORWARD INTO A TREE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I DOUBLED PARKED THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF AN OLD FORD LTD., PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND LEFT IT IN IDLE. GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK LEAVING THE FRONT DOOR OPEN, WENT TO THE REAR LEFT DOOR TO TAKE OUT A CAR SEAT WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK SLIPPED INTO REVERSE PEALING THE TWO LEFT DOORS WITH THE FORD AND DAMAGING THE LEFT FRONT FENDER. THE DAMAGES TO THE TRUCK WHERE OVER $4500.00. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHERE DAIMLER ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TOOK THE TRUCK (RIVERDALE CHRYSLER) THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR OVER 7 WEEKS I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JULY 12TH, 2002 AND ITS NOW AUGUST 4TH AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE TRUCK BACK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED. *AK CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEM TWICE. FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE THE TIRES UNEVEN AND WENT BALD. CONSUMER FIRST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM WITH THE WHEELS. CONSUMER CALLED DEALER AFTER HEARING AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON TV REGARDING PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER BALL JOINTS ON VEHICLE. DEALER RECOMMENDED CONSUMER TO REPLACE THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. *LA

MY UPPER RIGHT BALL JOINT BROKE AND SEPARATED THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT ONLY BECAUUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A WEEK AND DANGEROUS LINK FOR A 2000 DODGE DURANGO WITH 40000 MILE AND NEVER WAS USED IN OFF ROAD. EA03-023

DURANGO FAILS TO UP SHIFT AT REDLINE FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND, WHEN GEAR SELECTOR IS IN DRIVE. ENGINE HITS REV LIMITER REPEATEDLY. TOOK TO SUBURBAN CHRYSLER (SAINT PAUL), WHERE I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. I AGREE THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE A REV LIMITER IF THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT (MY COMPLAINT). NOT ONLY DID SUBURBAN CHRYSLER (SAINT PAUL) WASTE A WHOLE DAY OF HAVING MY DURANGO, THEY USED A HALF A TANK A GAS AND PUT OVER A HUNDRED MILES ON IT JUST TO TELL ME "THERE IS NO PROBLEM." EVERY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED HAD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (AND I HAVE WORKED ON A FEW MYSELF), AND HAVE NEVER FAILED TO SHIFT AT REDLINE (THOSE CARS HAD 100 TIMES THE MILEAGE, THAT MY DURANGO HAS). WHEN I PICKED UP MY DURANGO NOT ONLY WAS I PISSED THEY USED IT ALL DAY AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHUT THE HOOD ALL THE WAY WHEN THEY WERE DONE. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY TO CLOSE THE HOOD PROPERLY (IT WAS BOUNCING ON THE SAFETY CATCH). I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME TO VISIT ANOTHER DEALER. THIS IS CERTAINLY 5 OUT OF 10 STAR SERVICE.
