ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AT 50,625 MILES OIL PRESSURE ON MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO DROPED TO ZERO. HAD OIL PUMP REPLACED AND DEALER FOUND "SLUDGE" IN OIL PAN. NOW 1 1/2 YEARS LATER 68,000 MILES PRESSURE DROPPING AGAIN AFTER ONLY 17,000 MILES! GOING TO CALL DEALER TOMORROW AND ASK FOR ADVICE, HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I'VE READ I'M SURE I'LL BE TOLD IT IS MY FAULT. I CHANGE OIL EVERY 3 TO 4 THOUSAND MILES AND HAVE RECIPTS TO PROVE IT. ALSO, ENGINE CUTS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY?*AK

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO THAT I PURCHASED ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AGO, IT HAD 69,000 MILES . ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE FRONT BALL JOINTS, UPPER & LOWER,WERE BAD ALSO THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE BAD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I TRIED TO FIND THESE PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AT OUR LOCAL AUTOSTORES. I BELIEVE THESE PARTS SHOULD BE RECALLED... THANK YOU VERY MUCH... STEVE KENNETT. *LA
