This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The ball joints wore out prematurely. Sometimes, the steering wheel jerked out of the driver's hand, and there was a clanking noise in the front end. Also, power door locks worked intermittently.
Automatic door lock mechanism failure. I have had two auto lock mechanism failures on my 2000 Durango. I believe this is an important safety issue - I can not open the door - in an emergency this could be critical.
Power locks-I have had problems with the power locks on my vehicle since I purchased the vehicle. Every year since 2000, the vehicle has to be taken in because the power locks start making a noise when the doors lock automatically or when you lock the doors using the button. I just had the locks fixed again about two months ago and now the locks are making the same noise again. Luckily I have all my service receipts and I am hoping the dealership here in Alabama will fix my vehicle locks free of charge since it has been an ongoing problem. Zkm.
Front left axel collapsed while driving with my 3 children. Car lost control due to lack of steering ability. Right front axel needed to be replaced 5 months later
Just bought a used 2000 Dodge Durango slt. The power locks only work on 3 out of 5 doors properly. When I use the power locks they let out a high pitched grinding noise. I am afraid my kids may become locked inside the car and be unable to get out due to the problem with the power locks.
The battery was replaced by the dealer on three different occasions, the transmission was replaced last year, and there was a problem with the door lock system.
