Tl* - the contact owns a repair shop and complained that if the door handle broke on the 1998 or 1999 dodge durango there was no replacement door handle available for purchase. The contact stated that the internal driver's side door handle for 1998 - 1999 vehicles were no longer being produced, and the vehicle owners has no recourse. The contact made a makeshift door handle because the original handle was no longer available, and there was no part available that would put the vehicle in compliance. This failure could be a safety hazard in case of an accident. The vehicle owner could not easily get out of the car. The contact stated that the part which was $30.00 - $40.00 was being purchased at junk yards for approximately $400. The current and failure mileage were both 71,838 .

Rear passenger door locks and power windows malfunctioning. Back seat buttons are inoperable. From driver's seat, buttons will only work on front locks and windows. There is also a loud buzzing when power lock button is engaged via key remote or front seats of vehicle. The driver's side rear door lock is also sometimes impossible to unlock, even manually. I worry about being trapped inside the car or having the locks malfunction in an emergency, trapping someone inside the vehicle.

I bought a 1999 dodge durango from carter co. Dodge. I did not start having problems with anything until about 6 months ago, when the passenger rear door lock and window were beginning to have problems opening. The window finally quit working and now the door is also having problems opening. Just recently the rear tailgate door has started acting up also. Sometimes it will open and other times it will not. It wont open even if you use the key. I am afraid this is going to lead to a major problem if these locks and windows quit working all together and I have a problem getting out of the vehicle. After speaking with the woman that owned the vehicle prior to me, she informed me that she had replaced the door locks twice and was tired of having to do this, so she traded the durango in. I am afraid this is going to become a saftey hazard, and would like to see this matter investigated to see if there are more complaints than just mine. Thank you patty gibson.

The door locks did not lock or unlock properly. *jb the first drivers side door had made a buzzing sound when they were locked or unlocked, then they completely failed. The door remains making noise, but doesn't always lock or unlock and sometimes get jammed. The problem also happened with the passenger side, and back driver side. Scc
