In the past year my entire electrical system has gone haywire. First my passengers all lost their ability to use window controls, only the driver has control, but every once in a while it will work, pretty random. Then my left headlight went out. Not the bulb, the entire headlamp stopped working, and if I switch to my high beams the right one won't work. And now my read passenger break light won't come on. Also after I turn off my car completely, once in a while about 30 seconds later the radio will come back on by itself! we cannot figure out how to fix any of it. We've tried everything! all of this happens while car IS in motion, parked and stationary

The right rear brake locks up. This problem has been reported for dakotas and durangos for multiple years. Why have you not issued a recall and made them fix this? Google it and you seethat this IS ann ongoing problem for the last 23 year models. How many accidents and deaths have been caused by this problem, while you sit on your hands? Do you take money from the auto makers to look the other way? The rearend (housing, differential, backing plates, shoes, drums, brke hardware and proportioning valve have all been replced and the shoes still lockup. You have to backup and hit the brakes hard, sometimes several times, before it "pops" and releases. The "pop IS a sure sign that the design IS flawed, causing the shoes to not reseat properly when the brakes are applied and you come to a full stop. Please don't try to say you know nothing about it, when it IS googled by thousands of people and know one knows what else to do. Even a fool would know there IS a design flaw. You ask when this happened below. This happens every day, you ask what speed, from a dead stop to a any speed, but it release eventually after driving for a distance. Very dangerous on gravel, wet or snow covered roads.

While I love my 2001 dodge durango rt, there are a couple of serious problems / safety issues the vehicle has. Number one IS the passenger front seat IS very loose and rocks back and forth during acceleration and braking which could cause severe injuries if the vehicle was in a wreck, whiplash etc. In doing my research the average fix that the dealers will do costs between 600-800.00 which IS to replace the motor assembly. There are links on various forum for instructions to fix yourself for about 40.00 orovoodmg a better fix that the dealers will not provide, but it IS complicated and very labor intensive. my number one concern IS to be safe and have safe passengers! To be able to bring this into dodge and get this permanently fixed at no cost to me. There are untold amounts of dodge durango owners out there with this same issue, which dodge currently will not recall. The other two issues are incredibly defective ball joints. Since dodge recalled these trucks for the ball joints many including mine previous to me buying it, we're brought in for recall repair in 2006. Please note the suspension components company called "moog" fixed this dodge engineering problem for this year make and model with their own specially designed ball joint. as far as the brakes go this a very heavy SUV, in which if one needs to stop quickly and the brakes fail or skid the wheels due to lock up this again like the seats IS a very important safety issue that dodge needs to correct. I have faith that dodge will take care of more consumer issues than ford ever will.

I purchased the vehicle on 7/11/16 and the same day the tire blew due to the upper ball joint which does have a recall. mine was completely disintegrated, but supposedly the recall was closed as it was to have been serviced already. either it wasn't serviced or there IS still an issue. I contacted nhtsa and they put me through to dodge who spoke with me about there only being one open recall on it and I told her about the ball joint and she told me they would cover the repair and tow and sent a tow truck and towed it to motor village but did not tell them that they would be covering the ball joint work so they told me to have dodge contact them in the morning. when I did contact dodge, the first rep couldn't get through and so she opened a case. I then called motor village to get the service admin's phone number to give to dodge and when I contacted dodge the 2ND time, I was informed that now they would not be covering it and that they are sorry for the misunderstanding. they also won't be towing it back either and I do not have money to do so as I am facing eviction and just purchased that car to get ready to move and now I have no idea what to do. I would not have sent it to dodge if they didn't represent they would fix the ball joint and now all I have from them IS an apology for the misunderstanding and no way to fix or get my car that I just purchased out.

One day I was out shopping parked my car got out tried to lock doors they would lock unless I manually did it. The next day I noticed my headlights, inside lights, windshield wipers, and volume control on staring wheel would not work. That same day when I started my car it started great as always but there was a clicking noise on the driver side by the front wheel. I took it to midas they diagnosed it and fixed it, 3 days later my car did the same thing he told me to take it to the dodge dealer. I've tried they wont call back! Now there IS a red security light that came on and wont go off even when the car engine IS off. After 4 days of my car being parked with the security light on my car IS now dead. I've read online that its a alarm system and I need a key to program it. I bought my car used from the dealer and did not receive an alarm key, alarm key pad or even a spare key fir my car. I see a lot of reviews online about this issue, this has been going on for 1 month or longer now. I believe its a factory issue. Im still going to contact the dealer and get an appointment to get y car fixed.

Daimlerchrylser corporation (dcc) will recall 35,103 my 2001-2003 dodge durango vehicles equipped with front bench seats (recall # 06v339, see defect report for details).the subject vehicles are equipped with either front bucket seats or a 40-20-40 split front bench seat.vehicles equipped with front bench seat contain an uncapped, unused connector located under the front edge of the seat.the connector provides power to the center console power outlet for vehicles with bucket seats, but it IS unused in vehicles equipped with bench seats.the connector IS located rearward of the cup holder on the tunnel for vehicles equipped with the bench seat.this connector contains a fused b+ circuit wire (that IS continuously powered with the key off) and a ground wire. Dcc determined that if liquid IS spilled from the cup holder onto the tunnel, the uncapped connector may become contaminated.this contamination may allow development of a high resistance short circuit in the connector, causing localized heating, which could eventually lead to a fire.dcc will inspect the uncapped connector for corrosion, clean as required, and install a cap to prevent liquid contamination.all of the reported under-seat fires were on subject vehicles with a 40-20-40 bench seat.this investigation IS closed.
- Fire under the driver's seat
Odi IS aware of 10 reports alleging that a fire originates underneath the driver's seat.six of thefires occurred while the vehicle was parked with the ignition switch turned off (key not in the ignition).the subject vehicles are equipped with manual seats. This investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis, (ea06-011), to allow further investigation of the issue.

Daimlerchrysler corporation (dcc) IS recalling the target population of approximately 600,000 my 2000 through 2003 durango and dakota vehicles with four-wheel drive to replace the front suspension upper ball joints with redesigned parts that do not have the joint integrity concerns and have substantially improved…
Daimlerchrysler corporation (dcc) IS recalling the target population of approximately 600,000 my 2000 through 2003 durango and dakota vehicles with four-wheel drive to replace the front suspension upper ball joints with redesigned parts that do not have the joint integrity concerns and have substantially improved joint retention capacity (nhtsa recall no. 04V-596).though dcc does not admit to a safety-defect in the subject components, odi believes that the facts in this investigation show otherwise.because of the low rates of separation incidents in the remaining subject vehicles, a safety-related defect has not been identified in those populations and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists in those vehicles.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.for additional information, see the attached closing report.

In july 2003, odi opened pe03-032 based on 4 consumer complaints alleging separation of an upper ball joint.complaints alleged an unexpected collapse in the front end and in some occasions the ball joint separation IS alleged to have resulted in the wheel, brake rotor, and steering knuckle separating from the vehicle.since opening the pe, odi has received 23 additional complaints related to ball joint separation. Daimlerchrysler has identified a wearout concern in the subject ball joints that IS believed to occur after water intrusion evacuates the joint lubricant.daimlerchrysler does not believe the condition poses an unreasonable risk to safety because the suspension design in the subject vehicles significantly reduces the likelihood of joint separation.over 99 percent of the failures are related to worn ball joints (e.g., noise complaints).daimlerchrysler revised the repair procedure in august 2003 to allow the upper ball joints to be serviced separately from the upper control arm and reduce repair costs. Daimlerchrysler changed the supplier of the subject ball joints from trw to new castle machining & forge for my 2000 vehicles.my 2000 durango vehicles account for 25 of the 37 separation complaints.the upper ball joint was redesigned in my 2003.this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis to further assess the alleged defect in my 2000-02 durango vehicles.

There are no injuries or fatalities associated with this alleged defect.while conducting this investigation, odi found that the subject cinches meet the load bearing requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, and that many of the reported failures were due to incorrect child safety seat installations. Additionally, the report rate IS low (1.60/100k).the information available fails to establish the existence of a defect trend at this time.further allocation of agency resources to this issue IS unwarranted and the preliminary evaluation IS being closed.
