ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
V8-287 4.7L DURANGO STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM ON THE FREEWAY OR IN CITY TRAFFIC. NOTHING SPECIFIC THAT I CAN RELATE TO THE CAUSE. IMMEDIATELY LOSE POWER STEERING. ELECTRICAL SEEMS TO CONTINUE WORKING. CAR WILL START BACK UP FINE AFTER 5 TO 15 MINUTES OF SITTING. HAPPENS IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER, DAY OR NIGHT. CAN GO FOR WEEKS WITHOUT STALLING AND THEN STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN A FEW DAYS. YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, WHICH THE MANUAL TELLS ME IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE. EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. LOOKED AT DODGE DURANGO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR FORUM ON INTERNET AND FOUND PAGES AND PAGES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM AND HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/DODGE-DURANGO) THROUGH THESE WEBSITES IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT, INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIPS, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD. *TR

SEATS
2000 DODGE DURANGO DRIVER'S (POWER) SEAT MOVES ABOUT AN INCH FORWARD WHEN BRAKING AND BACKWARDS WHEN ACCELERATING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS MOVEMENT, AS IT IS REALLY UNNERVING WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE IN A SAFE MANNER. ACCORDING TO A FEW WEBSITES, THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH 98 - 03 DODGE'S, DUE TO A CRACKED SEAT TRACK. THIS SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE A DEADLY ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE TRUCK SHUT-OFF, NEVER TO BE STARTED AGAIN. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, THEY TOLD ME I HAD A "COMMON" PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THAT BEING, ENGINE OIL SLUDGE. I HAD CHANGED THE OIL AS MY MANUAL REQUESTED AND STILL ENDED UP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW HAVING TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE IF I WISH TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I OWE ALMOST LESS THAN IT WOULD COST TO BUY THE ENGINE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2000 DODGE DURANGO, WHEN MY CAR HAD 70,000 MILES ON IT, THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE BALL JOINTS. MY DURANGO NOW HAS 100,000+ MILES AND IT IS MAKING THE SAME POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT IT NEEDS NEW BALL JOINTS AGAIN. I FEEL DODGE REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS AS THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE I WAS TOLD VIA E-MAIL THAT WARRANTY WAS ONLY UNTIL 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THEY DID NOT COUNT ON OWNERS KEEPING THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND. *JB
