One morning I was taking my 9-year-old daughter to school and our truck just stalled while I was driving. Thank Allah that there was no heavy traffic and no one got hurt. That incident has my daughter scared. I took it to the mechanic they read the diagnostic fixed what codes came up and still my truck is not operating properly. The truck still stalls while driving the mechanic has informed me. I have had my IAC, MAP sensor, TPS, ignition coil, distributor, and canister purge valve replaced.

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE IN THE REAR END COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT AROUND 30 MPH, AND GETS LOUD WHILE INCREASING SPEED. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1200 JUST TO INSTALL A NEW ONE, PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT THE $2500 REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, AND NO ACTION I BEING TAKEN. OBVIOUSLY A FLAW ON THERE END, THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN BEAT AND IN PRISTINE CONDITION. CALLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 10 YEARS AGO, OBVIOUSLY BUT EVERYONE'S WARRANTY EXPIRED AND ARE HELPLESS BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM AROSE BY THEM.

SINCE PURCHASE OF 2000 (NEW) DODGE DURANGO 5.9L 4 WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AT GREAT AMOUNTS OF COST. I RARELY USE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND TAKE CARE OF EACH REQUIRED SERVICE. ON THE INTERNET I NOTICE SEVERAL SIMILAR/SAME COMPLAINTS.

WHILE DRIVING IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE I REVERSED HEARD A CLUNK. THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING SAW NOTHING THAT I COULD HAVE HIT. PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND DROVE FOR A FEW MINUTES HAD TO BACK UP AGAIN AND FOUND I HAD NO REVERSE. I WAS ABLE TO GET WHERE I NEEDED BUT FOUND THAT THE FORWARD GEARS WERE NOW NOT COOPERATING. CALLED TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND EVERY ONE OF THEM STATED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE TRANSMISSIONS ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE DURANGO. IT IS A 2000 DODGE DURANGO WITH ABOUT 150000. I BELIEVE IF A TOYOTA OR AN OLDER DODGE CALL LAST MORE THAN 250000 THEN THESE NEWER WAS SHOULD LAST LONGER WITH OUR SUPPOSED BETTER TECHNOLOGY.

MY STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS LOOSE AND SCARY TO DRIVE. I CHECKED MY POWERS STEERING FLUID TO FIND THAT I WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT. SO I FILLED IT. ONE DAY LATER IT WAS DOWN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND FOUND OUT MY RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED, AT 75000 MILES. I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF VEHICLES OVER 150000 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A RACK AND PINION. THIS JUST SEEMS TO BIZARRE FOR ME. ALSO MY TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES WONT GO INTO GEAR WHEN I SHIFT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT WILL CLICK IN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR WARM EITHER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THEY DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT IT STILL DOES IT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
CHRYSLER HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE DURANGO AND DAKOTA WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER OVERHEATING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY OR AT ALL. A SIMPLE FIX WOULD BE FOR CHRYSLER TO INSTALL AN ADEQUATE OIL COOLER. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE VEHICLES AND THE COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NOW MY VEHICLE AT 94,000 WITH ALL SERVICES DONE PROPERLY AND ON TIME ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTORER IS COSTING ME $1500.00 TO FIX. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HIS RESPONSE WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD COST $1100 PER VEHICLE TO FIX. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO LET OTHER CONSUMERS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING I COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER COOLING SYSTEM INSTALL FOR LESS THAN $100.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS 109,000 MILES. TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH, MY TRANSMISSION DROPPED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST/2ND GEAR CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ENDING UP IN THE MEDIAN. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP IN TOPEKA, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID (WHICH I WAS TOLD USUALLY GOES OUT AROUND 100,000 MILES)(I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE PART, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT CONTROLLED ALL SHIFTING BASED ON PRESSURES INSIDE THE HOUSING) AND TOLD ME THAT NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. LESS THAN 80 MILES AFTER RECEIVING THIS SERVICE, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH. I, AGAIN, LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, INITIALLY WEST-BOUND, AND ENDED UP NEARLY GETTING IMPACTED ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BY AN 18 WHEELER BEFORE COMING TO REST IN THE EAST-BOUND DITCH. THIS TIME, THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE TOPEKA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE "OLD TRANSMISSION" MINUS ANY PARTS THAT REQUIRED A CORING FEE (THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE THESE PARTS, EVEN AFTER OFFERING TO PAY THE CORING FEE). THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART WAS A TEMPORARY FIX AND "COULD HAVE LASTED UP TO 2 YEARS, BUT FOR YOU IT ONLY LASTED 1 WEEK."
