1999 Dodge Durango: power window failure

Filed Jun 24, 2007 · Brakes, Fuel system · CA

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 $78.00! 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.

In january of 05 had to have both upper and lower ball joints replaced, control arm, front brakes and new tires as a result of bad f/e suspension. Now today the speed sensor (and I am hoping that's it) has gone out on the transmission. I have had two window motor failures, a sudden drop in oil pressure causing the truck to stall and there is something wrong with the electrical system. There have been many complaints in regards to these failures and the dodge durango and although they have recalled other dodge trucks for these issues - they have yet to have recalled the 1999. I have contacted dodge since january of this year regarding this issue and they responded telling me that they hadn't had enough complaints to issue a recall. I find this hard to believe seeing all the complaints made to the federal safety agency and to consumer affairs in regards to this year and model. I also believe that the dodge dealer I bought this truck from (used) sold it to me knowing of these problems - although this I doubt I could ever prove. I am thankful that the front wheels stayed on as long as they did as I have read of the ball joint issue causing wheel separation. This could have been a deadly situation for my family (4 small children - we rely on this as our only transportation) and I hope that the problem is fixed but have serious doubts.

The right rear window motor had to be replaced since it abruptly stopped working. But the real problems are with the car all of a sudden dying while driving normally on the road, causing the power steering and brakes to fail making it almost impossible to steer out of harms way if you find yourself admist a lot of traffic. Once the car dies it usually starts right back up again after a few minutes, but it has become so unpredictable that I'm afraid to take the vehicle back out on the street! The milage now is at 48000 and the problem started occuring at around 40000 first rarely but now more frequently.

During the life of my dodge durango, I have had to have seven electric window motors replaced.

Three windows on my 99 dodge durango have failed. Only the drivers side window still works. This is odd because it's the one which is used the most by far. I find it highly unusual that all three of the other window motors have failed. I believe there must be a defect in the window motors on my vehicle. Please let me know if this problem has been reported to the manufacturer and if dodge has agreed to replace these defective parts.
