ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
MULTIPLE TIMES THE TRUCK HAS JUST DIED. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE RUNS JUST FINE AND STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. YESTERDAY THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. WHEN IT DIES YOU LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT IS DANGEROUS AND IVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE FRONT SEAT SHIFTED FORWARD. A DRIVER SEAT SHOULD BE STATIONARY AND NOT ROCK FORWARD WHEN YOU DRIVING. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER READING THE OTHER POSTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I WANTED TO SHARE MY PROBLEM. I OWN A 2000 DODGE DURANGO ,IT HAS ABOUT 172,000 MILES. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE RETIRED AND ONLY DRIVE IT A FEW TIMES A WEEK. AFTER OWNING THE TRUCK FOR FOUR MONTHS, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAM SENSOR. AFTER THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED I HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. THEN IT WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES, EVEN WHEN IT WAS COLD. IT WOULD DIE WHILE DRIVING REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. I MEAN IT JUST SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. SOMETIMES IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE FIFTEEN MINUTES OR MORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE AND THE MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED THAT THE CAM SENSOR WAS BAD AGAIN. HE REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR AND THE TRUCK WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. JUST RECENTLY WHILE WE ON VACATION (ABOUT TWO HOURS FROM HOME) THE SENSOR WENT BAD AGAIN! LUCKILY WE MADE IT HOME, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR AGAIN. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHAT DOESN'T DODGE FIX THE PROBLEM, AND REIMBURSE DURANGO OWNERS FOR THE REPAIR BILLS! *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE SPEED LIMIT 75 AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, NO CODES, NO WARNING LIGHTS NOTHING. THANK GOODNESS IT WAS IN THE EVENING AND LIGHT TRAFFIC, GOT FINALLY STOPPED AND HAD TO WAIT 2HRS BEFORE RESTARTING, WENT ABOUT ANOTHER 5 MILES AND DID IT AGAIN. FINALLY GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING AND THEN THE NEXT DAY HAD TO TRAVEL AGAIN ON INTERSTATE AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES TO RESTART. WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME I SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE A MANY MANY SITES THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *JS

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON REGULAR ROAD JUST TURNS OFF AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF STEERING , BRAKES AND SPEED, IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AND LUCKY IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON RIGHT LANE. STEERING LOCKS DOWN AND YOU ARE FORCE TO USE MUSCLE POWER TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY. CAN I MAKE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE DODGE PEOPLE TO FIX SUCH PROBLEM OR SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL MY WIFE GETS KILLED OR OTHERS AS IT HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER DURANGO OWNERS? REPLACING THE PCM DIDN'T DO THE JOB THE PROBLEM'S STILL HAPPENING AND NOW IS IN THE PARKING LOT UNTIL IT BECOMES SAFE. *TR

SEATS
JUST RECENTLY I NOTICED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM WITH MY DRIVER'S SEAT. AFTER I SELECT THE CORRECT SEAT POSITION BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS; THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE OR STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT I HAVE TO STOP/BRAKE SUDDENLY. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH THE DODGE DURANGO AND IS CAUSED BY LOOSE TRACK RAILS ATTACHED UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. IS THIS A DEFECT IN THE DODGE DURANGO? IF SO, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED A 2000 DODGE DURANGO IN JUNE 2003. I HAVE HAD CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH FRONT SUSPENSION, BALL JOINTS,RIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY. RIGHT SIDE HUB ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 YEARS AND I WAS JUST TOLD YESTERDAY THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS ALSO INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC OF 18 YEARS, THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION IS BAD AND THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK 11 YEARS AND HAVE KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED,IN ALL THIS TIME, I HAVE HAD ONLY ONE OFFICIAL RECALL FOR UPPER ARM BALL JOINTS IN 2005. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER TWICE TO QUESTION WHY I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY SO FREQUENTLY(EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 5 OF 6 YEARS) AND THEY INSIST THERE IS NOTHING WRONG OR A SPECIFIC RECALL FOR MY VIN. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH REPLACING THE SAME PART OVER AND OVER EVERY YEAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS HUB ASSEMBLY & FRONT SUSPENSION. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS MINE.... FRONT END VIBRATION WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 55-60 MPH, BALL JOINT ISSUES, HUB ASSEMBLY ISSUES, AND FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 RECALLS FOR 2000 DODGE DURANGO FRONT SUSPENSION AND HUB ASSEMBLY UNITS, AND CONVENIENTLY FOR CHRYSLER, NEITHER ARE MY VIN NUMBER DURANGO. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! I WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH CHRYSLER UNTIL SOME ONE DECIDES TO TAKE ACTION AND GET THESE ISSUES REPAIRED ONCE AND FOR ALL. I AM GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF CONSTANTLY PUTTING OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE YEAR AFTER YEAR!! PLEASE HELP GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE BACKING MY DODGE DURANGO ONTO BOAT RAMP TO TAKE A JETSKI OUT OF THE WATER, I LOST ALL BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP FROM GOING IN THE WATER. AFTER INSPECTING THE BRAKE LINES I NOTICED THEY RUSTED ALL THE WAY THRU AND CAUSED ALL FLUID TO LEAK OUT RESULTING IN COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. A REPAIR STATION ESTIMATED 1500 TO 2000 TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES, AND SAID IT IS COMMON ON DURANGOS AND DAKOTAS DUE TO BAD METAL LINES FROM FACTORY. THEY ALSO SAID BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT RUST OUT LIKE THIS AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN FATALITIES WITH ALL THE AFFECTED MODELS STILL ON THE ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LOCALLY. AFTER 2 DAYS OF OWNING IT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF AT RANDOM MOMENTS. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING AT 40MPH AND SOMETIMES AT 20MPH AND UNDER. IN TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A BIT WILL NOT STARTUP. WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ALSO. THE VEHICLE MAY TAKE HOURS BEFORE IT STARTS AGAIN. THERE HAS BEEN MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND STILL NO REAL SOLUTION. THE 1999 TO 2001 DURANGOS MUST BE RECALLED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE IN THE REAR END COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT AROUND 30 MPH, AND GETS LOUD WHILE INCREASING SPEED. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1200 JUST TO INSTALL A NEW ONE, PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT THE $2500 REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, AND NO ACTION I BEING TAKEN. OBVIOUSLY A FLAW ON THERE END, THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN BEAT AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION. CALLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 10 YEARS AGO, OBVIOUSLY BUT EVERYONE'S WARRANTY EXPIRED AND ARE HELPLESS BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM AROSE BY THEM. *TR
