I have had my 2000 durango in to the dealership (when it was under warranty) for spongy, loose, pulsing braking, noise from the suspension, & a chirping/squeaking sound (alternator like) when it is cold outside. The suspension noise was corrected with new spacers in the leaf springs (which they admitted were a problem). I was told that the pulsing in the brake pedal was normal for the durango & not to worry about it. They did a balance & told me it took care of the problem. It didn't. They could not "duplicate" the chirping (after 2-3 visits) although it happens for me every day. Now we are out of warranty after reading many of the complaints for the same problems here, I'm just waiting for something to happen. Will my children be injured as a result? This vehicle has 32k miles which are 99% highway is in cherry condtion. I've decided to take it to a private mechanic (napa) & pay for his opinion on the rotors, ball joints, arms, brakes, water pump/alternator, etc. Once I've paid for his opinion, how do we get dodge to pay for the repairs ...since they won't own up to any of the problems. Is there going to be a recall on the rotor/brake problem or the ball joint/arm problem? My brakes usually last at least 60k miles & I have never had problems with suspension on any of my new cars. Then, I'm getting rid of it.
2000 Dodge Durango fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at 45 MPH vehicle suddenly came to a stop. Consumer attempted to back up or go forward, and vehicle would not move. Vehicle was towed to dodge, where they found that relay sensor had shorted out. Please provide any further information.
The vehicle has poor mileage, 13 miles per gallon on the freeway and 10 miles per gallon in the city.
I was on a stop light at 8am and the exhaust pipe was blowing out white smoke and the engine was shaking and the engine check light was on. Brought it to the dealer and late they called and said it was the fuel injector. The next day they called again and said its the module now. April 6 they said the part was not available, not till the 19th, it was back ordered. I went there on the 20th and the part was still not available. It has been 3 weeks today and there is still no news yet. What else could I do. Can I just return the truck to them? We had already paid off the truck , because we took a loan from the house . What can I do?
In cool weather, I get a thick white emulsion buildup on the inside of the oil filler cap, to the point where it is dripping down into the crankcase and getting sucked into the pcv valve. The local dealer, not the one where I bought it, tells me this is normal and to just wipe it out. Having worked on cars for over 30 years, I do not see this as normal. It seems that excesive moisture is getting into the crankcase from somewhere.
