We had noticed that the tranmission was acting very sluggish. Despite having the vehicle checked, our local shop could not find a problem. While on our way to Florida, just outside of birmingham Alabama with two children in the car, driving 70 mph on the interstate, we had a catastrophic failure in the vehicle. The transfer case blew up and both driveshafts broke. We were able to be able to stop the vehicle without causing an accident, or having another vehicle hit us, despite the black coud of transfer case fluid trailing behind us. The vehicle required extensive service - to the tune of $ $2,600. We had 95,000 miles on the vehicle and were offered no assistance by Chrysler. In fact, not even an offer to assist us with the rental cars we were forced to take.

Consumer has been experiencing a loud grinding noise, at first consumer thought it was the brakes, then discovered it was not the brakes, but the driveshaft, consumer was told that Chrysler had been having a lot of similar problems. Could have an accident if rear end locked up. Chrysler was unwilling to assit with the repairs.

When first accelerating or braking to a stop there is a shimmying in the front end took vehicle to dealership was told wheel alignment was needed got alignment problem still there was told I had a busted belt went out and purchased four new tires took vehicle back to dealership to have them look at it again was told had defective U-joint and driveshaft has to be replaced. I feel this is a manufacturing defect that probably is not just my Durango.
