ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2000 DODGE DURANGO WITH 55,000 MILES HAD OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN RESULTING IN ZERO OIL PRESSURE. OIL PAN SCREEN SO FILLED WITH CARBON BUILD-UP, IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT $455 SERVICE BILL REIMBURSEMENT DENIED BY DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND 100'S OF CASES DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM.CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE SERVICE MANANGER INSISTED WE DIDN'T FOLLOW THE PROPER OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE, TRIED TO TELL US WE HAD TO FOLLOW A 2003 CAR/MINI VAN SCHEDULE. WE TOLD HIM WE FOLLOWED THE SCHEDULE IN OUR OWNER'S MANUAL.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I HAD MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO INSPECTED FOR UPPER BALL JOINT FAILURE. THE DEALER FOUND EXCESS PLAY IN THE UPPER BALL JOINTS AND RECCOMENDED REPLACEMENT AT 68,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE INJURIES AND DEATHS OCCOR. DEALER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE PRONE TO VEHICLES DRIVEN IN A SALT ENVIRONMENT, BUT THERE IS NONE USED WHERE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS IS NOT WORKING, AND WHEN I BOUGHT THE USED SUV I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS GOING OUT BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE RED BRAKE LIGHT WAS GOING OUT. 9 SECONDS INSTEAD OF 3 SECONDS LIKE MITCHEL SAYS. I CHECKED THE BILL OF SALE AND FOUND THAT THE MILEAGE THAT WAS WRITTEN ON IT WAS NOT THE MILEAGE THAT I BOUGHT IT AT. I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE. MY BROTHER DROVE THE SUV IN THE WINTER WITH SNOW ON THE ROAD AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE ABS WAS NOT WORKING,THEN I TRIED IT AND SAW FOR MYSELF. *JB
