1999 Dodge Durango wheels problems

“MAKONG TURNS, THE OIL PRESSURE PLUMMETS. WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE CAUSING THE DASH LIGHT TO STAY ON. BEEN THROUGH 2 NEW PCM COMPUTERS. SPARK PLUGS FOUL OUT TOO EASY. BATTERY TEMP SENSOR NEEDS TO BE BEEFED UP. FACTORY ANTI THEFT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. THIS DURANGO HAS DIED WHILE IN MOTION TOO. SCARY.”

“NUT CAME OFF LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING CAUSING WHEEL TO COME OFF VEHICLE. WHEN PICKING UP PIECES, I NOTICED THAT THERE IS NO COTTER KEY TO KEEP THE NUT FROM BACKING OFF. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS.”

“THE FRONT TIRES WORE OUT VERY QUICKLY, WE REPLACED THE TIRES AND WITHIN A YEAR THEY WORE OUT AGAIN. ALIGNMENT HAS NOT HELPED. WE TOOK IT IN AND FOUND OUT THE BALL JOINTS ARE BAD. $1000 REPAIR. *TR”

“DT: THE CALLER SAID THE VEHICLE HAD THREE CRACKED RIMS. SHE TOOK THEM OFF THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED ON THE VEHICLE. HAD A FLAT TIRE AND PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. WHEN SHE ARRIVED HOME THE TIRE WAS FLAT AGAIN. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION STATION, AND THEY TOLD HER THE RIMS WERE CRACKED. DEALER SAID RIMS DID NOT CRACK. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY HELP FOR FREE. SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES FOR DIFFERENT PROBLEMS.*AK *JB”

“AT CHRISTMASTIME OUR TRANSMISSION BEGAN ACTING UP. WE BELIEVED THE HARSH WINTER WEATHER WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BC ONCE THE ENGINE HEATED UP, THE VEHICLE DROVE JUST FINE. AT ANY RATE, WE TOOK IN TO BE SERVICED IN MARCH AND HAD THE 4X4 REAR DIFFERENTIALS FLUSHED AND SERVICED AND THE FLUID CHANGED. WHILE IT WAS IN FOR THAT REPAIR (AT A DEALERSHIP) THEY CALLED AND SAID THE 2 FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL, SO ASKED THEM ABOUT IT, BUT IT JUST FIGURES OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SO, $1600 LATER, WE WENT AND PICKED IT UP AND SEEMED TO DRIVE JUST FINE. WELL, THEN 3 WKS. LATER I WAS DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE. I WAS STOPPED A RED LIGHT, AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I WENT TO GO AND IT JUST BARELY ACCELERATED. LUCKILY, THE RED LIGHT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE WE NORMALLY USE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AROUND AND GET IT TO WHERE I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE. I WENT IN AND TOLD THE MECHANIC WHAT HAPPENED. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WKS. IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER HAVING JUST BEEN SERVICED! IT COST $3300! OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS WE HAVE SPENT $4600 IN REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR! I AM…”

“WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT 15 MPH FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL CAME OFF. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK”
