I have had my dodge for three years and since then several things had to be replaced on it. I had to have my transmission rebuilt due to the coolant failure. The sensor stopped working and over heated the engine burnt up the transmission. The motor in the driver window burnt out and had to e replaced. The dodge stop cranking so we had to replace the fuel pump. We are now having problems with the cooling fan on the engine that has burnt out as well. I am very displeased with my truck and will never buy another dodge again. All these things happened in a year. Man I hate this truck.
2001 Dodge Durango visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2001 dodge durango keeps going through heater cores. I have replaced two myself 1 month apart. My check engine light is on engine again like both past times. I hope this is not the 3rd. Also the mechanics said that it had been replaced before I owned it. This is $600 a pop + $100 air condition charge.
Back window driver side window rack (regulator,cable system) default and window is inoperable called 3 repair shops and was told that with in 3-5 years this system is breaking down. The window is currently and completely in between the door.
Dt: windows cables keep breaking in dodge, 2001 durango. Have been with dodge, and the warranty covered the first incident. The cable broke again, and the warranty expired. Dodge will not pay to have the windows fixed. No prior warning to cable breakage.*ak
Consumer stated the window motor on the passenger side has gone out. The window will not go up or down. She stated she could hear the motor making a noise, but nothing happened. This started last week some time. She took the vehicle to the dealer for this problem and was told that they have been having a lot of problems with the window motors on these vehicles.
I have had to replace the rotors three times and also had them resurfaced 3 times in 3 years. Now I have been told the ball joints are in very bad shape and must be replaced right away. I have owned other dodge vehicles through-out the years and I'm very disappointed with this one.
For the (3) third time since we purchased this vehicle in 05/2002, the window regulator has failed. The window regulator is a big part that fits inside the door and makes the window go up and down. This is the third occasion when it has broken causing the window to slide down into the door. It costs approx. $250-$300 to get this repaired every time. We are not doing anything extraordinary to warrant this kind of defect in this part. Please investigate this problem asap!!!
Window regulator, plastic piece that allows the window to move up and down, has broken twice within the last year.
About 35,000 miles I had the adjusters repaired on the passenger front of vehicle. Around 60,000 miles the adjusters failed and the seat will jerk forward about an inch while doing any acceleration, then slide back about an inch. Somewhere around 70,000 miles the front drivers seat started rocking back and forth, like it was not bolted to the floor boards properly. I have power seats. I took my durango in to have it looked at, at the dealership. I was told that they have seen a couple of vehicles with this same problem recently, and I was lucky mine would only cost 1,300 dollars to repair. Other bigger vehicles cost more. Is there a recall on this problem, and why is it happening so often in my vehicle, when it should not happen at all. Why so much money? Why is a safety factor not part of warranty. I have always had power seats, this is the first time they ever failed. Not once, but twice.
The vehicle on this occasion started knocking and the check gauges light appeared. It stated I needed oil when I recently had an oil change. It then cut off. I took the vehicle to the dealer to find out that I needed a new engine supposedly due to sludge build up. I have had all oil changes and services performed. I even went as far as to have the 30,000 mile service done. Previous problems include replacement of an air bag, rear window problems, air conditioner not working, noises while in reverse when parking, all in all also getting stuck in 4-hi. All in all they told me they would not replace my engine even with my chrysler warranty. The vehicle only has 42,000 miles. Also had new ignition switch installed due to speedometer failure.
Consumer called complaining about having electrical problems with the integrated seats. Children could not un lock the latches on the seats. Also, windshield wiper motor went bad on a stormy day. Dealer was contacted, and stated there was nothing that they could do.
Consumer noticed a pulsation from the front end of the vehicle. It was discovered the rotors were warped. *ak also the blower motor only worked on high.
Windshield glass contains ripples in the operators line of sight causing an obstructed view. We recently purchased this vehicle.
Windshield wipers suddenly stopped working while driving in heavy rain. Vehicle at dealership at this time.*akwith the windsheild wipers inoperable, making it impossible to exit off the road. The dealer informed consumer the problem is with the ignition switch. It was replaced.
When windows are down vehicle will start to shake very heavily. Consumer had to slowdown. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
The transmission makes noise when putting in reverse. The consumer stated that he had continuous problems with the transmission, but the dealer can not duplicate the problem, on two occasions when backing up, the transmission popped back into park and locked up.
