SUSPENSION
I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON MY TRUCK ARE DEFECTIVE. AFTER BEING TOLD THIS I SAW THE NEWS THE OTHER NIGHT REGARDING THE DODGE DURANGOS, AND THE TIERS FALLING OFF DO TO THE BALL JOINTS. MY MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WITH A BIG PRICE TAG I WAS WONDERING WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. (THERE WAS NO INCIDENT YET?)

WHETHER THIS IS A COMPLAINT LEAVES ME TO WONDER ABOUT THE BALL JOINTS ON THE DURANGOS--I HAVE A 1999 DURANGO WHICH I GET SERVICED BY A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND JUST MADE ME AWARE THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON MY DURANGO DON'T LOOK GOOD AND I SHOULD THINK ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED IN THE FUTURE???? WITH THE HIPE IN THE MEDIA LEAVES ME TO WONDER IF THERE IS A CHANCE ON A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PART????*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
PURCHSED A 1999 DODGE DURANGO IN FALL OF 1998. WHEN TRUCK WAS TWO YEARS OLD, OIL PRESSURE GUAGE WENT TO ZERO REPEATEDLY. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THE WORK DONE. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO YEARS THE GUAGE WOULD INTERMITTENLY GO TO ZERO. HAD OIL PUMP CHECKED. IT WAS DEEMED TO BE OKAY. SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. DURING THE LAST 6 MO.S PROBLEM CONTINUED MORE OFTEN. TOOK TO SHOP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GUAGE. ON ONE OCCASION, TRUCK ABRUPTLY QUIT WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL. KIND OF A SCARY EXPERIENCE! THE SHOP REPLACED A FUEL PUMP. ON FEB. 28.2004, TRUCK'S OIL PRESSURE GUAGE WENT TO ZERO, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD, AND TRUCK,S ENGINE QUIT.(WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH.) ENGINE IS HISTORY. MY TRUCK NOW HAS NO TRADE-IN VALUE. AFTER READING ABOUT IDENTICLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE, AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS' WEB SITE, IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT DODGE HAS A PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD EVEN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD FOR THREE YEARS WITH THIS TRUCK. THANK YOU.*AK

I UNDERSTAND FROM MANUFACTURER YOU ARE INVESTIGATING BALL JOINTS IN 1999 DODGE DURANGOS. I JUST REPLACED 2 BALL JOINTS @ 61,600 MILES ! NEVER, EVER, IN 38 YRS. EVER REPLACED BALL JOINTS IN ANY OF MY VEHICLES. I THINK DAMILERCHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL SO WE CAN BE REIMBURSED.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I OWN A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I USED MAINLY FOR COMMUTING TO AND FROM WORK. AT AROUND 70K MILES I NOTICED ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND BROOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED I NEEDED REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER BALLS JOINTS. THE QUOTE WAS JUST UNDER $1000. I HAD JUST THE UPPER BALL JOIBTS REPLACED. FOR THE TYPE OF USE AND MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE I DON'T CONSIDER THIS ANYWHERE NEAR "NORMAL" WEAR. THERE IS A PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 14 MONTHS LATER AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED I NEED THE UPPER BALL JOINTS REPLACED AGAIN. FOR "NORMAL" WEAR THIS IS GETTING TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE.*AK

HAD MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO SERVICED AND THEY SHOWED ME WHERE ALL FOUR BALLJOINTS ARE FAILING. (THERE IS PLAY WHEN THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY.) THEY STATED THIS IS ANY EARLY FAILURE AND A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS AND A SIMILAR VEHICLE FROM DODGE. FAILURE WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE LEAD TO A DEATH.
