What owners say
Was traveling on the highway all of a sudden start losing power started making a scorching and grinding sound. Made it to the side of the road car would not turn over . None of the warning lights came on. The car will turn over but u can not drive very far there's a knocking rattling noise maybe from motor. Police officer helped us get to safe place but no report was made.
Front left bushing repaired 6 times and still squeaks at every suspension compression.
Loud grinding noise in electric door locks. Can only manually lock/unlock the door. Had one replaced at $250 and another is beginning to fail. Child was able to open the door before the vehicle was at a stop. Rear hatch lock "flutters" and locks/unlocks by itself even after vehicle is turned off and key out of ignition.
Dt: the contact bought a used truck 10 months ago. She had a lot of problems with the vehicle. On 8-15-05 she hit some speed bumps going over a bridge and she could not steer the vehicle. A mechanic told her the left leaf spring broke. She brought it back to the dealer because of electrical problems, and the whole front end squeaked. She went to a dodge dealer, and they told her there was a recall on the ball joints. She did have the ball joints fixed. *ak while doing research the consuemr noticed that there have been numerous recalls for the 2000 dodge durango 5.9l engine. The cosnuerm has experienced problem with her vehicle similar to those recalled on the 5.9l engine durango. The consumer has experienced problem like the suspension making noise, antitheft system cannot be shut off once activated. Front A/C fan makes noise, the driver's side power seat seat rattles/clicks in upright position, front axle noise during acceleration, the battery died three times, rear leaf springs made noise. Front headlight didn't work due to a corroded 12v wire to the right of the headlight. The brakes, rotos, belt and tensioner had to be replaced.
Clanking grinding noise in front end while making slow left or right turns.
Shortly after purchase of vehicle, the new front end tires were worn out and a squeeking noise was associated. T ires lost traction in turns can lead to rollovers. Ront control arm/upper & lower were replaced with 4 new tires. Squeaking in front end still noticeable and unrepaired.
Took my 2000 dodge durango into shop to check front suspension due to cracking noise and grinding in wheels. Was told that the ball joints were bad and would have to be replaced. The vehicle has 34,000 miles on it these ball joints should not need replacing at 34,000 miles. The mechanic stated there is a defect in dodge ball joints on the durangos and that it is not safe to drive as is. It is just a matter of time before someone is killed by these defective ball joints.
Bad squeaking in suspension of my 2000 dodge durango and in the steering only when turning to the right a noise in the steering shaft.
When turning in either direction a grinding noise was heard. The cause of the problem had not been determined, but the consumer suspected defective ball joints could be the cause. *ak
