problem #3

Apr 102004

Durango 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
ABS light & brake warning lights come on intermittently while driving, when lights were on brakes were touchy. And forget trying to slow or stop when it's raining. Front driver side control arms, ball joints, and bushings replaced. Upper and lower A-arm bushings have been replaced several times due to noise in front end. Dodge dealer could not diagnose this noise or any problem when we took it to them. After two days of it sitting at the dealer we mysteriously had a badly leaking water pump. When we decided not to have the dealer complete the repair they made us pay them a diagnostic fee of $78! two sets of brand new brakes squeaked annoyingly after repeated attempts at lubrication and cleaning, rotors now need replacing. Rear passenger, & front driver power window motors replaced, twice for the rear one. Bad brakes & bad suspension did not mix well when you're a mother of four very active kids. Sometimes I was scared to drive. The cost has become ridiculous and at times unreasonable.

problem #2

Feb 212006

Durango 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles
: the contact stated that the engine malfunctioned in the vehicle as early as June first of 2005. The vehicle was taken to the dealers and left with them for one week to under-go diagnostic testing. The dealer determined through the testing that the problem was pertaining to the fuel pump and replaced the part. The vehicle began to experience more problems concerning stalling and all the warning lights illuminating. The vehicle was taken back to the dealers who replaced the water pump. One week later, the vehicle experienced similar problems including water dripping from the bottom of the motor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced gasket of the water pump. The vehicle stalled while driving on the highway during morning rush hour traveling at 30 mph. It was towed to the dealer who determined that the #3 cylinder had no compression, the coolant was coming out of the freeze plug, transmission fluid was dripping and the motor was shot. There were no further services done to the vehicle due to the extensive costs.
