2000 DODGE DURANGO SAFETY RECALL FOR UPPER BALL JOINTS.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE CONSUMER SENT IN RECEIPTS THAT TOTALED 1,336.55, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER SENT THE CONSUMER A CHECK FOR 319.32. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO R/T WITH FACTORY 17" WHEELS. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM RUSNAK DODGE IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA WITH THOSE WHEELS ON IT. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF POOR BRAKING EXPERIENCE, WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATING PREMATURELY, AND SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT A FIX, A MECHANIC ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO AVAILABLE SELECTION IN THE SOFTWARE OF THE ON BOARD COMPUTER TO ALLOW FOR 17" WHEELS. ALL OF THE SELECTIONS ARE FOR THE 15" WHEELS THAT COME ON THE STANDARD MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY MEASURING THE CIRCUMFERANCE OF MY TIRES, CALCULATING HOW MANY TIMES THEY ROTATE IN A MILE, AND CREATING A SETTING FOR THE 17" WHEELS. THE VEHICLE STOPS FAR BETTER NOW. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER DRIVERS WHO WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW THIS, BECAUSE I AM A 27 YEAR VETERAN FIRE DEPARTMENT CAPTAIN AND PARAMEDIC, AND RESPOND TO TRAFFIC COLLISIONS QUITE REGULARLY.

WHILE DRIVING A LOUD NOISE WAS PRODUCED. THE DEALER STATED REAR UPPER BALL JOINTS FAILED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAD A RECALL DUE TO UPPER BALL JOINTS. I HAD REPLACED ONE AT MY OWN EXPENSE AT THE DEALER, AND THEY HAD CHARGED ME FOR AN ALIGNMENT, WHICH DID MAKE SENSE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, AND THEY DID NOT ALIGN THE VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE SECOND BALL JOINT (SINCE I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY I ASSUME THEY SHORTED THIS STEP TO SAVE MONEY). DODGE WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE ALIGNMENT ON THE FIRST REPAIR THAT I HAD PAID FOR. I LOOKED UP THE RECALL NOTICE ON YOUR WEBSITE AND THE SAFTEY RECALL D47 STATES THAT THE ALIGNMENT IS REQUIRED. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT DODGE STATED IN AN E-MAIL TO ME THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED AND THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT, NOR DO IT AS PART OF THE RECALL. I AM HOPING THAT YOU COULD TELL ME WHICH PARTY IS CORRECT HERE AND ADDITIONALLY WOULD ASK FOR YOUR ADVISE ON HOW I CAN PROCEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK

TIHS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT CHRYSLER'S HANDLING OF RECALL D47 ON THE DODGE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING THE SYMPTOMS, AND I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT CROSS COUNTRY. THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE 800 LINE WERE NOT WILLING OR ABLE TO MAKE A TIMELY REPAIR. I WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY'D REIMBURSE. I DID THAT, INCURRING $1,290.75 IN REPAIR COSTS FOR THE BALL JOINTS AND THE TIRES THAT HAD BEEN PREMATURELY WORN DUE TO THE BALL JOINT PROBLEM. CHRYSLER ONLY REIMBURSED ME $449.81, SAYING THAT'S ALL THAT'S COVERED. THEY SAID THE DEALER COULDN'T MAKE THE DETERMINATION IF THE OTHER ITEMS WERE REQUIRED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUE THE REPAIR.

DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ALL DURANGO 4X4'S MODEL YEAR 2000 - 2003 BUT HAS ONLY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALL DURANGO 4X2'S MODELS. THE RECALL AND THE WARRANTY IS FOR THE UPPER BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE RECALL SHOULD COVER ALL DURANGOS WHETHER THEY ARE 4X4'S OR 4X2'S. BOTH TYPES USE THE SAME EXACT UPPER BALL JOINTS. THE RECALL COVERS ALL 4X4 VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE, WHEREAS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON COVERS VEHICLES WITH LESS THEN 100,000 MILES. I FIND THIS RATHER IRRESPONSIBLE AND VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE MY DURANGO WAS PURCHASED WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND IS EXHIBITING THE SYMPTOMS OF EXCESSIVE UPPER BALL JOINT WEAR. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS 109,000 MILES. TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH, MY TRANSMISSION DROPPED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST/2ND GEAR CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ENDING UP IN THE MEDIAN. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP IN TOPEKA, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID (WHICH I WAS TOLD USUALLY GOES OUT AROUND 100,000 MILES)(I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE PART, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT CONTROLLED ALL SHIFTING BASED ON PRESSURES INSIDE THE HOUSING) AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. LESS THAN 80 MILES AFTER RECEIVING THIS SERVICE, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH. I, AGAIN, LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, INITIALLY WEST-BOUND, AND ENDED UP NEARLY GETTING IMPACTED ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BY AN 18 WHEELER BEFORE COMING TO REST IN THE EAST-BOUND DITCH. THIS TIME, THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE TOPEKA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE "OLD TRANSMISSION" MINUS ANY PARTS THAT REQUIRED A CORING FEE (THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE THESE PARTS, EVEN AFTER OFFERING TO PAY THE CORING FEE). THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART WAS A TEMPORARY FIX AND "COULD HAVE LASTED UP TO 2 YEARS, BUT FOR YOU IT ONLY LASTED 1 WEEK." *NM

2000 DODGE DURANGO, HAS SLUDGE BUILD UP IN ENGINE. I HAVE CHANGED OIL REGULARLY ( 3000-5000) MILES. I HAVE HAD THE OIL PUMP REPLACED AND NOW AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OIL PRESSURE LIGHT.

I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS. *JB

WE RECEIVED A RECALL ON OUR DODGE DURANGO 2000 YEAR. NONE OF THE AREA DODGE DEALERS HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DAMAGED PART- BALL JOINTS. THEY ALSO DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE DUE TO THE COMPANY NOT MANUFACTURING ENOUGH PARTS TO COVER THE RECALL. WE NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK. *JB

FRONT AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. ON SOME OCCASIONS, DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AT AND BEYOND THE 15 MPH. WILL TRY TO LOCK (EVIDENT WITH THE NOISE), BUT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN CHECKED. *NM

HAD MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO UPPER BALL JOINTS INSPECTED AND THEY ARE NEAR FAILURE. CONTACTED DODGE AND BECAUSE MY DURANGO IS NOT A 4X4 BUT A 4X2 IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. IT IS THE SAME SEALED BALL JOINT THAT IS FAILING ON THE 4X4 SO WHY NOT PART OF RECALL?
