POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HAVE HAD CAR IN DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES FOR VARIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. FINALLY ON THE 7TH TRIP, THEY ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM NOW, IS EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR PROBLEM BECAUSE CAR IS 3000 MILES SHORT OF WARRANTY EXPIRATION. CAR APPEARS TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH FROM 1ST TO 2ND RAPIDLY (OSCILLATES), WHEN DOWNSHIFTED AND THROTTLE HELD OPEN. CAR BUCKS LIKE A BRONCO. VERY DANGEROUS.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY DURANGO SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE LEFT. ALL ATTEMPTS TO STEER OR USE THE BRAKES FAILED AND MY CAR WENT INTO A SPIN AND HIT THE BARRIER WALL OF A BRIDGE TWO TIMES. THE POLICE REPORT STATES THAT THE CAUSE OF CRASH IS THAT THE DRIVER "LOST CONTROL OF HER VEHICLE WHEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE/RIM SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE."*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO, (2WD), I HEARD A OUD "POPPING" NOISE COMOING FROM THE AREA OF THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL OPENING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THE FRONT BALL JOINT WAS WORN TO THE POINT OF IMMINENT FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPLETE UPPER BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF APPROX. $500.00. THIS VEHICLE IS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON HIGHWAYS IN AND AROUND METRO ATLANTA AND NEVER OFF-ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS STOCK WHEELS, TIRES AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. IN ALMOST 30 YEARS OF DRIVING AND OWNING MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE HAD A FAILURE OF THIS TYPE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.*AK
