SUSPENSION
PURCHASED MY DURANGO NEW IN 2000. I DRIVE LESS THAN 12,000 MILES A YEAR AND CURRENTLY I AM AT 31,000 MILES AND MY WARRANTY IS UP. I FIND OUT THAT THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM NEED REPLACING BECAUSE THEY ARE WEARING PREMATURELY. THIS WAS ALL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, NO OFF-ROAD OR ERRATIC MANEUVERING. I FEEL THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY DAIMLER. THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED AT 30,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BALL JOINTS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 19 YEARS. *NLM

#10049091December 3, 2003
2 ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. ONE FAILURE OCCURED ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE OTHER ON THE DRIVER DOOR. THESE FAILURES RESULTED IN THE INABILITY FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK WHILE THE VECHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND PRESENT AND UNSAFE CONDITON WHICH OVER RIDES THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING SYSTEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CHECK GAUGES LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. ALL GAUGES WERE NORMAL. A LOUD RATTLING SOUND WAS FOLLOWED BY THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPING TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE FAILED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO WIESNER DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TEXAS. DEALER CLAIMED SLUDGE IN THE OIL CAUSED THE FAILURE. I HAVE REGULAR DOCUMENTED OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS. PAYMENT OF REPAIR (EST. $6000) IS PENDING MEETING WITH WARRANTY ADJUSTER. HOW CAN OUR FEDERALLY FUNDED AGENCIES IGNORE THE VAST MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT INVESTIGATING????? *AK

THE UPPER/LOWER CONTROL ARMS WOULD SQUEAK WHILE IN MOTION. UPON THE INSPECTION OF THE CONTROL ARM(S) BY THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PARTS WERE BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
POWER LOCKS-I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER LOCKS ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. EVERY YEAR SINCE 2000, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TAKEN IN BECAUSE THE POWER LOCKS START MAKING A NOISE WHEN THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN YOU LOCK THE DOORS USING THE BUTTON. I JUST HAD THE LOCKS FIXED AGAIN ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE LOCKS ARE MAKING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. LUCKILY I HAVE ALL MY SERVICE RECEIPTS AND I AM HOPING THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN ALABAMA WILL FIX MY VEHICLE LOCKS FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ZKM. *AK
