MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO HAS BAD BALL JOINTS. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT BAD ENOUGH. HOWEVER, NOW I AM SEEING REPORTS OF DURANGOS CRASHING BECAUSE WHEELS ARE COMING OFF. HOW DO I KNOW IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY DURANGO? DO I HAVE TO WRECK TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED PROPERLY? THERE IS ALSO NOISE AND NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I DRIVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. BRKAES, TRANSMISSON AND UPPER BALL JOINTS, WHICH THEY DO NOT WISH TO FIX AND IT IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD KNOW LUCK ON THEM FIXING IT. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE( BALL JOINTS ) BUT THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME. YOU PAY BIG DOLLARS FOR A VEHICLE AND EXPECT SAFETY BUT ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY NOT THE CONSUMERS SAFETY OR NOT. NOR IS IT ABOUT THE COST WE HAVE TO PAY OUT FOR DEFECTS AND NOT NORMAL WEAR. I HOPE FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS YOU LOOK CLOSELY INTO THIS MATTER AND FORCE THE MANUFACTURE TO RECALL THESE DEFECTS. THANK YOU FROM A VERY CONCERNED CONSUMER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:UNIVERSAL JOINT
I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT WHEN MY VEHICLE START MAKING A NOTICEABLE SOUND. IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD FLAT TIRE OR SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN THE WHEEL AREA. I LOOKED AND SEARCHED UNDER THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE. MY FIANCEE, SISTER AND FRIEND WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WAS WRONG. WE WERE QUITE SCARED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. FOR THREE DAYS MY CAR MADE THE SAME UNTIL MY MECHANIC WAS AVAILABLE ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 29TH. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM A BUSTED BALL JOINT/BEARING. IT WAS VERY NEAR OFF COLLAPSING THE WHEEL AND FRONT END. WHAT STUCK IN MY MIND WAS THE MECHANIC AT THE TIME SAID, THAT I WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WHEN I DID BECAUSE THE "WHOLE AXLE COULD HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF." I WAS QUITE SCARED AND RELIEVED, OBVIOUSLY. WELL, ALMOST $600 LATER AND I FIND OUT THAT THIS ALL COULC HAVE BEEN AVERTED BY DODGE NOTIFYING CAR OWNERS.

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO AND I AM HAVING AN ANNOYING SQUEAKING SOUND FROM THE FRONT END AND THOUGHT IT WAS MY SHOCKS, SO I HAD NEW SHOCKS INSTALLED AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I HEARD ON THE NEWS WHERE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BALL JOINTS GOING BAD. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED DUE TO APPARENTLY THERE IS A DEFECT OR THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
AT APPROXIMATELY 55K (5/03) MILES I HAD TO SPEND $1662 FOR WORK ON MY DODGE DURANGO'S DIFFERENTIAL. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS DON'T COME UP UNTIL WAY OVER 100K+ MILES. THEN 11/03 IT WAS MANDATORY THAT I REPLACE ALL 4 BALL JOINTS. THIS ALSO DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. YOU WOULD THINK WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR AUTO TO THE DEALER FOR ALL ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND HAVING SPENT $35K ON IT NEW, ONE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE SORTS OF EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS.
