ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4), IF MOISTURE LEAKS INTO THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINT, EVACUATION OF THE LUBRICANT AND CORROSION OF THE JOINT MAY CAUSE THE JOINT TO WEAR OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS COULD CAUSE A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION, WHICH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE HEARD BY THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
EXCESSIVE WEAR IN THE UPPER BALL JOINT MAY ALLOW IT TO SEPARATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION UPPER BALL JOINTS. THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON DECEMBER 21, 2004. OWNERS CAN CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

Engine and engine cooling, Mar 30, 2004
DESPITE REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THE ENGINE ON MY 2000 DURANGO NEEDED REPLACING. DEALER SAYS "SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED". AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN, HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE AND DODGE IS DENYING ALL RESPONSIBILITY.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE BALL BEARINGS, AND THE ENGINE, AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS SQUEEKING WHEN I TURN, AND THE ENGINE IS SMELLING LIKE IT'S BURNING ALL THE TIME.*AK

2000 DODGE DURANGO WITH 55,000 MILES HAD OIL SLUDGE BUILD-UP DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN RESULTING IN ZERO OIL PRESSURE. OIL PAN SCREEN SO FILLED WITH CARBON BUILD-UP, IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT $455 SERVICE BILL REIMBURSEMENT DENIED BY DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND 100'S OF CASES DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM.CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE SERVICE MANANGER INSISTED WE DIDN'T FOLLOW THE PROPER OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE, TRIED TO TELL US WE HAD TO FOLLOW A 2003 CAR/MINI VAN SCHEDULE. WE TOLD HIM WE FOLLOWED THE SCHEDULE IN OUR OWNER'S MANUAL.

AFTER ONLY 48,000 MILE THE ENGINE OF MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO WENT OUT. AFTER SPENDING $3,400 ON A USED ENGINE IT WENT OUT IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE BALL JOINTS ON BOTH OF MY FRONT WHEELS HAVE ALSO GONE OUT SINCE 2000. *AK

OUR 2000 DURANGO WITH ONLY 57K MILES, HAD THE "CHECK GUAGES" LIGHT COME ON. THE ENGINE TEMP WENT TO HOT, THEN TO COLD. AFTER TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER HEATER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($300), THE SOFT PLUGS (FREEZE PLUGS?) WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE BE REPLACED ($1500) AND THERE IS AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK ($1,000). THIS IS A 2000 MODEL YEAR, PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2000 AND ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES

2000 DODGE DURANGO. AT ABOUT 69,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HEATER SUDDENLY WENT COLD AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ANTIFREEZE. TOWED IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY FOUND THAT A FREEZE PLUG HAD A HOLE IN IT. AFTER REPAIR, FOUND THAT THE FREEZE PLUG HAD CORROSION AND ACTUALLY RUSTED THROUGH. DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENENCE. IMPOSSIBLE, FREEZE PLUGS ARE NOT MAINTAINED AND COOLLANT HAS A LIFE OF 100,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, A FREEZE PLUG SHOULD BE GALVANIZED/ALUMINIZED TO PREVENT CORROSION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I WONDER IF THIS IS THE REASON THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING VEHICLES BLOW UP. I BELIEVE THAT THE SLUDGE IS THE RESULT OF THE OVERHEATED OIL AND THAT IS WHY THE VEHICLES ARE BLOWING UP. NOT BECAUSE OF LACK OF OIL CHANGES. AFTER THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT MY ENGINE IDLES SLIGHTLY ROUGH. THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD INDICATOR OF BLOWN SEALS CAUSING OIL LEAKAGE AND OF OVERLY HEATED OIL CREATING SLUDGE.*AK

WHILE COMING HOME FROM VACATION IN VERMONT IN OUR 2000 DODGE DURANGO THE CHECK GAUGE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DROPPED TO 0. WE IMMEDIALTY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FULL. MY HUSBAND HAD JUST CHANGED THE OIL A WEEK EARLIER. WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL FOR A MILE OR TWO WHEN NOW THE OIL PRESSURE WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER IMMEDIATLY AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AFTER 2 HOURS IN THE COLD WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER IN VERMONT. WHERE ARE CAR STILL IS. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS SLUDGE BUILD UP AND THE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEN AFTER FURTHER REVIEW WE NEED A NEW ENGINE OR THEY COULD PATHC IT TOGETHER WITH NO GUARRENTY WE WILL NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE IN THE FUTURE. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND FOUND THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WOULD DO NOTHING FOR US AND BLAMED IT ON NEGLECT. MY HUSBAND DOES REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AND IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 67,000 MILES. I'M FURIOUS THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS SELLING THIS VEHICLE TO CONSUMERS.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT ENGINE DIED DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE. *AK THE DEALER NEVER TOOK APART THE MOTOR, ONLY THE FUEL INJECTOR AND SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A CRANK SENSOR REPAIR A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE OIL PUMP PROBLEM OCCURRED. *SC

ON 8/7/02 MY OIL PRESSURE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 0. A DODGE MECHANIC REPLACED THE OIL PUMP, WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 28,000 MILES ON IT. ON 8/19/03 MY OIL PRESSURE AGAIN SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 0. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE AN ASST. SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME I WOULD LIKELY NEED A NEW ENGINE. HE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH HE HAD ONLY SEEN THIS PROBLEM "ONE OTHER TIME" MY EXTENDED WARRANTY MIGHT NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY POOR MAINTENANCE. I TOLD HIM THAT I AVERAGED ONLY 10K MILES A YEAR ON MY CAR AND HAD MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF MY OIL CHANGE RECORDS. HIS DEMEANOR TELLS ME THAT THIS WON'T BE COVERED WITHOUT A FIGHT. MY DURANGO HAS 40,600 MILES ON IT. THROUGH THE INTERNET I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN STUCK WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF UNJUSTIFIED CHARGES BECAUSE OF DODGE'S FAILURE TO ADMIT THAT THE ENGINES OF SOME DURANGOS DEVELOP SLUDGE (APPARENTLY IT'S KNOWN AS A SMOG SLUDGE MOTOR IN TRADE TERMS.) WHEN YOU CHECK THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES YOU'LL IMMEDIATELY SEE THE PATTERN: CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM, NHTSA.GOV, CARSURVEY.ORG, OR SIMPLY GOOGLE "OIL PRESSURE DURANGO" OR "DURANGO SLUDGE"

CHECK GAUGES LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. ALL GAUGES WERE NORMAL. A LOUD RATTLING SOUND WAS FOLLOWED BY THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPING TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE FAILED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO WIESNER DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TEXAS. DEALER CLAIMED SLUDGE IN THE OIL CAUSED THE FAILURE. I HAVE REGULAR DOCUMENTED OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS. PAYMENT OF REPAIR (EST. $6000) IS PENDING MEETING WITH WARRANTY ADJUSTER. HOW CAN OUR FEDERALLY FUNDED AGENCIES IGNORE THE VAST MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT INVESTIGATING????? *AK

MY 2000 DODGE DURANGO LOST OIL PRESSURE. AFTER TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO SLUDGE IN OIL PAN GOING THROUGH INTAKE TUBE. SINCE MY HUSBAND PERFORMS MOST OF THE OIL CHANGES HIMSELF, I ONLY HAD A FEW RECEIPTS. MY WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY. FROM READING OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, IT SEEMS CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY TOO. I JUST BOUGHT MY LAST DODGE.*AK

WE HAVE A 2000 DURANGO WITH 39,847 MILES ON IT. ON JUNE 6, 2003 WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0. THE OIL PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE CAME TO AN IDLE. AT FIRST IT APPEARED AS IF I HAD A GAUGE PROBLEM. I CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND BEGAN ON OUR WAY AGAIN JUST TO FIND IT HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN ONCE WE GOT TO SPEED. I PULLED OVER AND THE PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL! WE SHUT IT DOWN AND TOWED IT TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THERE, WHEN ASKED, I DEMONSTRATED THAT OUR ENGINE WAS OKAY BY CRANKING IT WITHOUT STARTING IT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE ($8310). I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THERE, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED! SOMEONE HAD EVIDENTLY RUN THE ENGINE AFTER IT WAS DROPPED OFF, BUT EACH DEALERSHIP BLAMES THE OTHER!!!
