SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER, CHILD SEAT:HARNESS RETAINER/CHEST CLIP
GEN 3 SEAT BELT BUCKLE. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THIS SEAT BELT BUCKLE. IF THIS BUCKLE IS SO SAFE WHY DID THEY STOP PUTTING IT IN THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE? CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK AND CAN EASILY UNHOOK THEM SELVES AND CAUSING A HAZARD. AREN'T WE SUPPOSE TO DO ALL WE CAN TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE. I PRIDE MY SELF ON HOW TIGHT I PUT MY CAR SEATS IN AND KNOW I FIND OUT THE BUCKLE USE TO SECURE THE SEATS AREN'T SAFE ENOUGH TO KEEP IN THE FRONT. MY SON CAN BARELY REACH THE BUCKLE WHILE HE IS IN HIS BOOSTER AND UNHOOKED HIMSELF VERY EASY. MY SON HAS A HARD TIME USUALLY WITH THINGS THAT HE HAS TO PUSH IN. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS ABOUT MY DURANGO I WOULDN'T HAVE WASTED $34,000 ON A VEHICLE THAT WON'T KEEP MY CHILD SAFE. WHAT CAN I DO TO REPLACE THESE BUCKLES? PLEASE HELP! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TRADE MY CAR IN OVER A SEAT BELT BUCKLE. *NLM

SPENT MANY MANY HOURS AT DEALER WITH THEM ADMITTING A PROBLEM BUT UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DOES NOT IDLE LIKE A 30,000 DOLLAR VEHICLE. DODGE HAS LOST A FUTURE CUSTOMER. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING FRONT BAKES AND ROTORS ON A 2001 DODGE DURANGO. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY. 23500 MILES AND THE ROTORS ARE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES I GET A PRETTY BAD VIBRATION IN THE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP VERY WELL. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY INFORMED ME THE ROTORS AND BRAKES WERE CONSIDERED WEAR PARTS AND WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I HAVE DONE SOME INVESTIGATING AND FOUND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THAT MAYBE CHRYSLER WILL TRY TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2001 DODGE DURANGO RT IN WHICH I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 22, 2001 THAT THE STEERING WAS NOT ALIGNED OR DID NOT FEEL RIGHT TO DRIVE. THEY CLAIMED EVERYTHING WAS OK. ON JANUARY 23, 2003 I WENT IN FOR ROUTINE OILCHANGE AND CHECK UP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. NOW THEY SAY THAT THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE AND NEEDS A NEW RACK AND PINION.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
THE FRONT AXLE OF THIS DODGE DURANGO HAS EXCESSIVE NOISE, ABOUT 50 DECIBELS WHEN DRIVEN OVER THE SPEED OF 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENTIRE FRONT AXLE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BY MELTON SALES OF CLAREMORE, OK. THE NOISE CAME BACK IN TWO DAYS. I HAVE A SCHEDULED REPAIR FOR 11/11/02 FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT. THE TOTAL DOWN TIME FOR THIS REPAIR IS 4 WEEKS, AS PARTS AND LABOR TAKE LONG PERIODS OF TIME. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY FOR A $36000 VEHICLE. DODGE WILL LOSE MY BUSINESS AFTER THE REPAIR IS FINISHED. DT
