Not only that, the Durango tends to go through ball joints like a dog through a pound of hamburger. This is not only expensive but can -- and does -- cause serious accidents, as many of our readers will tell you. The feds have finally put the arm on DaimlerChrysler to do a recall but there's some debate over whether the recall covers all of the affected models. Korey of San Jose, CA November 20, 2009 We recently noticed a rattling under our 1996 Dodge Ram truck. I kept our recall letter stating the catalyic converter is being recalled and has been extended to 10 yrs/120,000 miles whichever is later. Our truck has 76,000 miles currently.The company is refusing to do this recall and another ignition recall due to our vehicle being salvaged. Then they said it couldn't be done due to no longer having the recall parts available. Fernando of Ranchos de Taos, NM October 22, 2009 I have a 2007 dodge 2500 truck that the brakes locked up on me while driving on the highway. My truck stopped in the middle of the road. Luckily there were no cars coming from either direction and I was not on a curve. I had the truck towed, and then took it to a dodge dealership to get fixed. This was two weeks ago and I am getting the run around from the dealership and warranty service to get it fixed. I had to have the truck towed and have someone come get me and my family which was 20 miles from home. This is the truck I use to commute to work in. My job is 75 miles away, I have been using another not so reliable vehicle in the mean time. It is also the vehicle I use to check on my livestock and haul water for them. robert of sparks, GA October 20, 2009 I have 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI. I hit a SUV in back end. My air bag did not come out. Front of my truck was smash in. I was doing 35 mph so inpact was 70. Air bag did not come out Patrick of Huntsville, AL October 4, 2009 I have a 2006 2500 dodge diesel 4x4. I recently rear ended a Nissan Maxima knocking them through the intersection on their front wheels. We know this because of the road rash from the front bumber of their vehicle. Their rear fenders became welded to the rear doors. Needless to say it totalled their vehicle completely. Their trunk was pushed so far forward that it was actually sitting on top of the back seat of their vehicle.The collision deployed every airbag their vehicle had. I left three large, distinct slide markes on the road where I slammed on the brakes. Even the working Officer was afraid for me to get back in the truck for fear of a delayed reaction from my bags or that just the drive on home would dislodge something and the bags go off then. My vehicle's airbags did not deploy and the impact curled my front bumper down, bent the bumper brackets, damaged my radiator and acc. grills. The estimator said not conclusively but pretty sure that it diamond fit my frame. In other words pushed the passenger side of the frame back. I was travelling at approximately 50 - 55 mph. Shouldn't my frontal airbags have deployed? I am ok. A few bumps and bruises but if it had taken me by total surprise it could have been pretty bad. As far as the truck goes, they guaranteed the truck to be good showed reports and all. The truck has been nothing but a problem child since I got it. The engine and transmission is the only thing about the truck that I know is good. The rest of the truck feels like a death trap! Michael of Sunset , UT September 30, 2009 I own a 2000 Dodge 2500 full size truck I bought it used and have only had it for two and a half years when all of the sudden it just died on me the key was on and in a few seconds the odometer started blinking and then it read NO BUS and I waited a couple of minutes and then it started right up I took it to the dealer and they checked it for codes none came up they said they dont know what to do if no codes come up I drove it for a couple weeks no problems then in traffic it just died again and it all started over same thing now it is starting to do it more often but I dont know when or where it will happen I emailed Chrysler they said they cant talk about it over the internet and take it to a dealer I think it should be recalled before someone gets killed when it just dies its what I would call a real safety issue when a vehicle just dies in traffic. Leo of West Linn, OR September 14, 2009 Purchased new Dodge 2500 diesel 4x4 on Feb.28, 2006. Used very little with 90% in portland meto area. It seemed like the steering was not quite right. In sept.08 with aprx.16000 miles I decided to take it in and get it fixed while it was still under warranty. They checked it out and said there was nothing wrong with it. With the economy down we have done very little in our business in the last year with aprox. 6000 mi. added. We had a job in Klamath Falls two weeks back and driving there reminded me how bad it was. We took in again to service on sept.11-09 and said it was just like it was on sept.08. They say now there is somthing wrong in the steering box, but the warranty ran out in feb.09. They said nothing wrong in sept.08 now after warranty is out they find whats wrong. What can I do? Robert of Montrose, CO August 28, 2009 3 years ago my Dodge truck air conditioning quit working. I took it into the dealer and they supposedly repaired it and charged me 600 for th e repair. The next year same thing so I took it back to the dealer and they supposedly repaired it again and charged another 600. I contacted Dodge and they told me the dealer didn't know what they were doing. This year I had someone else look at, they charged me 300 and it still doesn't work. The AC works in the morning when the truck is cold but once it warms up it blows hot air not cold air. The truck only has 36,000 miles on it and runs and looks like brand new. The last time I took it to Flower Motors they gave me an estimate of 4000 for work they said it needs to have done on it. Something is wrong with the A/C and Dodge says there are not recalls for this problem. I just want it repaired properly. Larry of Greenwood, AR August 26, 2009 I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. At 83,000 miles, a tie-rod end broke suddenly. Fortunately I was moving slowly, so did not wreck. Four days after having it towed and repaired, I received a recall notice for replacement parts for the tie-rod assembly. From their letter and information from the dealer, enough of the original equipment parts on truck models 2002-2006 have broken and been replaced that they have sufficient history with replacement parts to know that some of these were defective. No recall has been made on the original parts in spite of their more numerous breakage. I called the Customer Service number provided by the dealer and spoke to someone out of the US. They admitted that much but refused to provide additional information as to their company. Since the truck was out of warranty, they refused to make any adjustment for the defective original parts. This is my first Dodge product. Prior to this, I have driven several Chevy 1/2 ton trucks to over 150,000 miles and never needed to replace any of the steering and suspension parts. It seems that the heavier duty parts that should have come on the 3/4 ton truck should not have come apart this soon. I have tried repeatedly to contact someone who works directly for Dodge and have been unable to locate a number or address for them. Steve of Glenn, CA August 6, 2009 We own 3 Dodge Ram 3500 duallys. All 3 trucks have had problems with the particulate filter causing two trucks to have cracks in the catalytic converter and one truck just after only 1300 miles clogging causing the truck to be repaired. There is a severe emissions problem with these trucks. This is the Dodge diesel model. Andy of Tallahassee, FL August 3, 2009 I started my two week vacation on 30 july 2009 (still on it at this writing) I am the owner of a Dodge Durango SLT plus equipped with a 5.9 liter V8. It had 82,000 miles on it and had been given a once over by 2 mechanics at two different automotive shops. According to them everything "looked" to be in good mechanical condition, regular maintenance and regular oil changes were performed as required. I WAS THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER From day one. We left on the 30th from Tallahassee Florida enroute to Cleveland Ohio, Niagara Falls New York and then to Raleigh-Durham North Carolina and back home. Just outside of Columbus Ohio at mile marker 160 on the 71 north I heard heard a loud "Pop" quickly checking my guages I noted that the engine was running at normal operating temperature and oil pressure was normal, Suddenly the console lights started blinking and I lost all power. I moved the vehicle to the shoulder of the road to check out the problem when I noticed that black smoke rolling out of the front left of the vehicle. My 2002 Durango was on fire and we were 1100 miles from home. No rhyme or reason just burst into flames while traveling on the freeway. The Durango was engulfed in flames in no time, however we managed to pull most of our personal effects out of it before it got too bad. Report Your Experience
