What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the ABS warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock and the ABS modules needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 111,920.
I purchased a 2006 dodge durango in feb. Of 2006. Shortly after that I received a recall notice in the mail for the ABS system. My ABS light on the dash had been coming on periodically. I took the vehicle back to the dealership for the required repairs. The ABS light continued to come on and I have taken it back a total of five times to date and as of yesterday the ABS light is still coming on. The last time I took the vehicle back which was two weeks ago they thought they had found the problem, which was the ABS computer had the wrong tire size programmed into it from the factory. They corrected that and was sure they had found the problem. Yesterday was the first time the ABS light came on just after I started the vehicle and it was not moving. The other times the vehicle was always moving. By the way I have not changed the tires on the vehicle, the factory tires and wheels are on the vehicle that came with it. I have had the vehicle for well over a year and have made five attempts to get this problem fixed with no results. The brake system is a safety issue and I am considering turning the vehicle back in under the lemon law....

2006 dodge durango ABS deploys prematurely when braking while elevation of paved road changes preventing vehicle from coming to a complete stop in a timely manner. Experience at intersection where uphill road dead ends into cross road and elevation of cross road is flat.
My ABS light & brake light come on, and my passenger air bag turns off. When this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to navigate and the back end get tight. This has happened 4 times, and the last time was on a busy highway, and I was lucky to miss causing an accident. We took the vehicle in on 4/18/06 and had all recall work done, and the vehicle still is not working properly. This last instance scared me to the point I do not feel safe driving the vehivle.
Dt*: the contact stated the ABS light illuminated and a noise can be heard from the rear end. There is a the federal safety agency recall, #05v554000 on the vehicle regarding the service brakes, hydraulic: antilock: control unit/module. The parts needed to repair the vehicle are not available at the local dealership. The manufacturer confirmed the parts are not available.
I picked up my brand new dodge durango on jan 31st. A short time after, I received a call from my dealer, paramus dodge, regarding a safety recall for ABS. I was told to schedule an appointment to have the defect corrected. I scheduled an appointment for monday, february 20th at 10 a.m. After sitting at the dealership for approximately 1 1/2 hours, they informed me that they could not perform the procedure because they did not have the right software that would enable them to correct the condition. It is quite troubling to me that I wasted time on my holiday to have this problem corrected. Additionally, the dealer could not provide me with an estimate of when they will be ready to deal with the problem. Moreover, I cannot believe that chrysler could have a safety recall and not be ready to deal with the recall. Please let me know when and where this can be resolved. I am losing patience. This is a brand new car.
