1998 Dodge Durango visibility complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 50, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have replaced two window motors and have another one to replace as it is out now I was wondering if there were any complaints or campaigns on window motors also I want to complain about front suspension either the ball joints upper or lower are weak or out but I have wear problems on my new tires and it should not be that way only being a 1998 are there any campaigns on this .
All four power windows went out in 2001. Transmission is shifting at a higher RPM. It does not shift until 3800 to 4500. This accured at 58000 miles june 4.
There is a plastic flap covering the vent in the dashboard which prevents air or heat from coming out of the vent. I've tried to push the flap back down but it continues to flip up when I used the heat or air conditioner.
Since buying the used 1998 dodge durango slt in october of 2001 with approximately 26000 miles. I had the dodge dealership to replace the motor in the front driver's side window which cost me $100 for my deductible. I now have a problem with the rear view mirror defogger on the left and right side of the vehicle and now passenger side window motor is bad. I haven't replaced it as of this time. Although the durango is approximately 4 yrs old, it only had 26000 miles on the vehicle which meant the vehicle wasn't driven often by the previous owner. I brought a car fax report to confirm that the vehicle was in good condition. I hope you can help with these problems which is definitely a manufacturing problem. Thanks
I really like my dodge durango but the mirrors are very large which causes blind spots. I can't see traffic left or right. I thought my height was the problem but my husband is 6'2 and he sees the problem. I need your advise and help on this matter.... I am so afraid of having a accident. Has there been many complaints on this matter ? I hope I'm sending this complaint to the right dept. And hope I gave you enought info. What ever help you can give me will be appreciated.
Regulator on power operated windows manlfunctioned which caused windows to remain in upright position.
Passenger's side rear view mirrors are large in size and height. However, it's extremely hard to determine traffic due to blind spot. Also, these vehicles are equipped with a tow package. Please give any further details.
Reoccuring problems with both rear power windows. To this date they have been worked on 3 separate occasions. I don't think I'm the only customer having this problem!
The flap which allows the air to either flow through the vents or defrost or heater vents is stuck blowing air out the heater and defrost vents. I have talked with others who have this same problem and have been told by the dealer that it is a known problem with dodge. I can't afford to pay $200 for a part that is known by dodge to have a defect. My children and I are about to suffocate from the heat of the summer. Is dodge going to be fixing this problem or not? My next problem is the front end will not stay in alignment. I have been through two sets of tires and have had the front end aligned three times in the last 6 months with no results. I know of plenty of durango owners with this same problem. Is this defective parts causing this problem? I also have a problem with the ignition/starter not wanting to start at least three times a week. Don't know if this is a defect or just something worn out. Don't know of anyone else with this problem yet. Thanks.
Power operated window on driver's side has become jammed within door frame. Please give any further details.
While trying to roll window down windows would not move. Passenger's side first, then driver's side and rear passenger's side window. No noises or sounds when trying to roll windows down. Dealer said it was window regulators. *ak
Both windows on left side of car will not work... Driver window is going out.
The power windows do not operate as designed, the window lock button doesn't work and the windows will not go up or down. Nlm
The problems we had with the windows, going down by itself and then not being able to get them up was reported to the dealer (tomkinson dodge) twice. The first time , they said they fixed it, but it wasn't. The second time , the window went down by itself , we couldn't get it up. Reported to dealer (tomkin dodge), they told us to take door panel off and pull window up until they could get to it. The inside window cable was so badless twisted and tangled, it was about to broke. They worked on it, again saying it was fixed. Window again went down (I don't remember the time span after being "fixed". So this time we took it to evans chrsler-plymouth-ddoge in kendallville to be fixed. They replaced all the window regulators, and have had no problems with the windows since. There was a object rattling around in the rear hatch when closing it that tomkin dodge could not seem to fix, but evans did. The vehicle also uses a lot of oil in between oil changes, we changethe oil every 2000 miles and would have to put 3 or 4 quarts in between changes. Took it to evans for this problem on feb. 7, 2000, in which they replaced four gaskets; intake manifold pkg.,throttle body, thermostat, cleaned combustion chamber and also repaired the hood hinges. We will see if this takes care of the problem. I think for a $30,000.00 vechicle that it should hold up better than it has. There also seems to be a problem when driving on wet pavement. It sides around then stopping and taking off. Have not had this checked out yet.
Passenger's power window assembly on driver's side fails to open window.
During cold weather, the heating system fails to provide heat to the front panel vents.
The power window motors/regulators have failed on all 4 windows repeatedly. Repairs under warranty have been done, however after approx 2 months the windows fail to go up or down. . ... During low speed braking the front disc brakes make a grinding noise, the problem is continuous and the dealership says all items are within specifications.
Engine overheating due to failure of the fan/clutch assembly. Mjs
Electrical system suddenly went out all gauges radio etc front area. Checked all fuses and nothing was burnt out. Restarted engine four times before reset and then was ok. Have had recurring locking of brakes and grinding lose of control at low speeds and on wet roads. Disc brakes have no wear indicators on pads and it resulted in being worn down and ate into the front rotors before I was aware that the pads were shot. I had to buy new rotors and pads and the replacement pads also did not have indicators. The dealer stated that was the way that they were manufatured and I then stated that this was a severe and potentially dangerous and deadly oversight and that it should be corrected. I contacted chrysler and they stated that they had no recall on this and that they had no technical problems or bulletins on this. My battery also suddenly went out without any warning and it caused the engine to die. I could not restart the engine and a new battery had to be installed. Power windows went out and could not be opened or closed by drivers switch.
While driving in neighborhood another vehicle pulled out in front. Consumer slammed on brakes and front wheels locked up, vehicle skidded and slammed into the vehiclein front. Contacted dealer who said that brake pads never touched the drums. Also, rear arm actuator power windows will not go up or down.
Door--window regulators.
Driver's side outside mirror & support beam causes a blind spot whenever making a left hand turn. The vehicle had incurred an accident due to location of beam & mirror & needs to be relocated.
When driving vehicle at a speed of 55 MPH or above with back windows down the vheicle starts to viberate until it is almost impossible to hold on the road. This viberation is like having a flat tire with the exception of the complete vehicle viberating
