2000 Dodge Durango transmission complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 120 of 120, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Pulled into garage and car would not go into park, reverse, drive, etc. - digital gauge on the dash showed that the car was in gear 1. The car felt like it was in park although we had a difficult time turning the car off since gears would not work properly. Even though the car was in park, it was able to be rocked back and forth as if it was in neutral.we had it towed away on a flatbed to the dealer since we were not able to drive it. We were told that a part snapped in the steering column. We've complained to dealer on two separate occasions (mileage 5963 and 14120) about the problems in the steering column portion of the vehicle - the service department couldn't duplicate the problem, and told us not to worry about it... It makes me wonder what would have happened if I was driving (with my two small children) when this part snapped??
While idling in driveway vehicle jumped out of park into reverse. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated that had never heard of problem before.
Consumer's child was able to take vehicle out of park and put it into reverse while she was being buckled into a child safety seat. Vehicle started rolling backwards. Consumer was able to stop vehicle. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
While deaccelerating noticed vehicle was making a howling noise. Dealer has changed differential ring and pinion gear. Please provide further information.

Vehicle experienced loss of power after driving 50 miles or more. Next day vehicle was driven to the dealer without any problem; dealer inspected vehicle and was unable to duplicate the problem. Please provide any further details.
The vehicle is having a bearing failure in the differential which can cause the unit to seize and I have taken the vehicle to the dealer I purchased it from 4 times and each time I get a different story on what they feel or think the problem is
Transmission clicks for 2-3 seconds when shifted from park or from drive to reverse. Dealer states that this is normal although it did not appear until truck had over 7k miles driven. Seems to be too loud and inconsistent to be normal.
Transmission clicks for 2-3 sec when shifter is moved between gears.
While driving vehicle would make funny noises in the front differential. Also, would pull to the right if steering wheel was let go & brakes not applied. Took vehicle to dealership & informed consumer it was a caster adjustment & it was already done. However, problem still existed. Took to dealership in arizona, and informed consumer that it was a design flaw, and manufacturer knew about it*ak.
Gears could be changed without depressing the brake pedal. There is no transmission interlock system. *ak when the gear is shifted from park to reverse, the dash shows it wrong.
Vehicle has severe whining noise from rear diffrential.also has grinding/clicking noise to date, rear differential ring and pinion has been replaced (not fixed); complete rear end assembly installed 05/01/00 (not fixed), dealer contacted me and told me they would "rebuild the new assembly to try to correct the problem, and would not give me the vehicle back until it has been corrected." this is 3 attempts at the same problem, I.e., new gear set; new rear end assembly; currently rebuilding the new rear end assembly (without ever having returned vehicle to me with new rear end installed).
Child crawled out of car seat and placed transmission into drive, car took off, able to chase it down and stop vehicle. At a bus stop where many kids were around and could have been hit if driver was not right next to vehicle.
Vehicle makes grinding noise...chrysler unable to diagnose problem. Wheel bearing replaced, driveshaft replaced, motor mount shim machined and installed...to no avail. Chrysler now believes it could be the front differential. Chrysler is basically experimenting with vehicle in hopes that noise will go away. I have requested that the vehicle be returned to chrysler (through vehicle buy back program). Long term reliability and safety of vehicle questionable at this time. Drivetrain has been determined to be cause of problem.
Consumer was driving when transmission became inoperative at only 3000 miles. Dealer will replace complete transmission, but it is on back order.no transmission parts are available at this time. Please provide further information.
