I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE UPPER BALL JOINT PROBLEM IN THE SUSPENSION. IT HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE LAST 40,000 MILES. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT, NOR DO I BELIEVE IT'S MY OBLIGATION TO FIX IT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, SINCE THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE, AND DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS ALSO A NUISANCE SINCE IT CREATES A VERY LOUD SOUND ON TURNS AND BUMPS. MANY PEOPLE STARE AT MY DURANGO WHEN THEY HEAR THIS NOISE. IT DOESN'T HELP THEM SELL CARS! *JB

THE CUP HOLDERS IN THE FRONT ARE VERY DANGROUS CAUSE THEY WILL NOT HOLD A LARGE CUP SHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. THE DRINK GOES FLYING AT LOW SPEEDS TO THE PASSANGER OR DRIVER FLOOR CAUSEING DRIVER TO REACT WITH ONE HAND TO RECOVER IT , LEAVING THE OTHER ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSING YOU TO JURK IT AND CHANGE LANES AND POSSIBEL ACCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ONE CAN NOT CONTROL YOUR REACTION.. VERY DANGEROUS BUT A VERY SIMPLE FIX!!*K

HIT GUARD RAIL HEAD ON AT 65MPH, AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, ROLLED TRUCK 2-3 TIMES. SECOND NEW DODGE AUTO THAT AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN ACCIDENT.

WHEN TRYING TO STOP, THE BRAKES SEEM TO GRAB AND THEN THE CAR SLIDES AND THEN THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES AND RESULTED IN CONCERN RE: THE SAFETY OF THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND AFTER THIS HAPPENS. THEREFORE THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DODGE DEALER TO HAVE THE BREAKS CHECKED AND NO PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. BUT ON 4/7/01, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, A LOUD ROARING SOUND OCCURED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES, WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION INTO THE REAR OF A VEHICAL AT A STOPLIGHT. THE NOISE CONTINUED AFTER THE COLLISION FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, FOLLOWED BY A STRONG BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO A PARKING LOT AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN HOME AND DOES HAVE BRAKING ACTION NOW. *AK

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.

THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN OVER, BUT MY DAUGHTER DID SUFFER A CONCUSSION, BRUISED CHEST, WHIPLASH AND INJURIES TO HER HIP. SHE IS CURRENTLY RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT. SINCE THE ACCIDENT WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT ANOTHER OF THE TIRES HAS A PIECE OF THE TREAD ABOUT THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR, THAT HAS LIFTED FROM THE CENTER PART OF THE TIRE CASING.

NO WRECK - FIRST, COMPLAINED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A "BELT" SAYING THAT'S WHAT IT WAS IN 2000 AFTER 22397 MILES, THEN I COULDN'T TAKE THE SQUEEKING ANY MORE IN 2001 AND HAD THE WHOLE UPPER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AT 41306 SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY THEN. THIS MECHANIC WAS SHOCKED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED, BUT FOUND IT WAS THE SOURCE OF MY "SQUEEK". CONTINUAL SQUEEK FROM ABOUT 17000 MILES UP TO WHEN FIXED AT 41306 MILES.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2000 DURANGO SLT 4X4, SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN 2000. I HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR THE REAR ROOF A/C FAN MOTOR GOING ON AND OFF EVERY TIME I AM IN THE CAR WHILE THE A/C SWITCH IS OFF. I HAVE ALL RECORDS AND CAN CONTACT THE DEALER FOR PROOF THAT THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED, INSPECTED AND WORKED ON NUMEROUS TIMES AND NEVER RESOLVED. 9 YEARS LATER, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND HAS LEFT ME QUITE UNHAPPY ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE ON MY OWN AND I'M REMINDED OF THE ISSUE EVERYTIME I'M DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS EXCEPT FOR THIS A/C ROOF UNIT FAN MOTOR GOING ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN FOR UNKNOWN REASON. SOMETIMES, IT MIGHT STOP IF I PLAY WITH THE TEMPERATURE AND FAN CONTROLLERS ON THE FRONT DASH, BUT HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFIC. I HAVE EVEN SPOKEN TO THE DEALER MANAGER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITHIN DAYS AND WEEKS AND CONTINUED TO MONTHS AFTER NUMEROUS UNRESOLVED REPAIR ATTEMPTS TO CLAIM UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND THE DEALERSHIP GUIDED ME OTHERWISE. EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN 9 YEARS, I STILL OWN THE VEHICLE AND REALLY DO WISH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AS I DO KEEP IT ROUTINELY MAINTAINED AND SERVICED. AN ADDITIONAL INQUIRY OR COMPLAINT IS THE AWFUL OIL SLUDGE BUILD UP NEAR AND AROUND THE OIL CAP AND RESERVOIR INTAKE WHERE THE OIL IS ADDED. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE HEADERS WERE CLEANED FROM SLUDGE BUILD UP. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE AT THE DODGE FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES IN REGARD TO THE SLUDGE BUILD UP BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE REAR FAN SINCE I CANNOT FIND ANY RELATED INFORMATION TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME INTO THIS REAR A/C MATTER, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SLUDGE PREVENTION OR MAINTENANCE, IT WOULD BE GREATLY. *TR

SINCE DAY ONE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIP, FROM TRANSMISSON PROBLEMS, STEERING , NOISES. I STOPPED BRINGING IN TRUCK AT 30,000 MILES WHEN MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, AND KNOW I JUST HAVE LIVE WITH IT.*AK
