2000 Dodge Durango tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The front ball joints are loose causing the tires to wear out unreasonalbe sooner. The front upper ball joints need to be replaced and can become dangerous. The front end makes noises and feels unsecured at times.*ak I have asked the dealer to exam the front end after purchasing the vehicle. The machanic said everything was normal.
Consumer states that the tires are rouning out, causing vibration in the steering wheel. Took to dealer, and dealer was offering to replace the bad tire with a brand new same brand model tire.
Consumer was traveling about 15mph on a highway and without prior warning tire exploded and blewout. Consumer was in control of vehicle. Goodyear tire mechanic told consumer that there was a small puntcture inside of tread of tire. Goodyear tire exploded, and came completely apart on both sides. Dealership wa saware of problem.
Traveling west on I-80, approx. 10 miles from sharon pa. The left front tire blew up and shredded. There was no indication of air pressure loss (ie; pulling) prior to the blowout and unwraveling of the tire. I had all I could do to maintain control and get to the right side berm. There were five of us in the vehicle. My issue is with the tire manufacturer, not chrysler corp. I was advised by the dodge dealer I did not purchase the extended tire warranty. As an owner of a large independent automotive service repair and collision shop, we examined the tire closely. We noted a an object aprx. 1/4" diameter tapering to a relative point that punctured the tread of the tire. It turned out to be a dried small animal bone. A hunter/friend advised me it appears to be a small bone from a bird. We have seen many punctures, blowouts at city and hi-way speeds, but never a tire "unwraveled" like this. It looks very much like all the pictures involving the firestone/ford fiasco. I am only looking for answers. I now have reservations in general about the tires. I was fortunate to maintain control and avoid swaying into a semi next to me. Any advide will be appreciated. Our gy vendor has offered to give it to gy for their analysis. Thank you. Richard a. Sacha. *ak (tiresize: 31x10.5 15)

No summary listed for above vehicle.
My 16 year old daughter was driving on the az 101 freeway southbound in the 'fast lane" when the two left side tires, front and rear, blue, causing the vehicle to spin two complete revolutions and end up in the center lane in a northbound direction. The vehicle did not turn over, but my daughter did suffer a concussion, bruised chest, whiplash and injuries to her hip. She is currently receiving medical treatment. Since the accident we have discovered that another of the tires has a piece of the tread about the size of a half dollar, that has lifted from the center part of the tire casing. My daughter is now afraid to drive the dodge, or our jeep grand cherokee because of the goodyear tires. (tiresize: r275/60r17)( dot number: tire size: r275/60r17 )
When driving between 60-70mph vehicle would vibrate. Rear window was not sealed properly after replacement due to a scratch. Driver's window replaced due to regulator dragging. Electrical wires for air conditioner were pinched and failed to work.*ak vehicle sounds to have an electrical problem, windows have failed, door regulators failed, battery failed, and while driving the RPM, odometer, and trip meter all went to zero. Consumer had to replace goodyear tires, no other tire information provided.
I suffered an off-the-wheel blowout or tread separation in a rented vehicle--the tire separated from the wheel in under 8 seconds. The attorney general of the state of california, cong brad sherman's office and the l.a. Times were all contacted and the following story feature appeared in the l. A. Times>> http://www.latimes.com/business/updates/lat_tire001025.htm. There was no flat tire, the tire simply began unravelling from the wheel--- will you take action to save people's lives or sit on this information? Goodyear is involved in a major coverup. This vehicle was dangerous--I have driven ferraris, rolls royces, jeeps accident-free for 35 years--suvs will continue to kill innocent victims who apply the brakes on an SUV as the tread separation is occuring--I have the tire in my possession (tiresize: rt/s)( dot number: tire size: rt/s )
