“I have a 2003 Dodge durango I bought new. I now have 25000 miles on it. I have just had my brakes repaired for the third time. Rotors have been replaced along with brake pads. I also have a small collapse(at this time) in my gas tank. I have not been doing any offroad driving. There is a strange noise from the front end when I turn the wheel to the right or left. The dealership cannot hear any noises coming from the steering.”
NHTSA complaint #10100613, filed 2004-11, 5,000 miles“Steering gear and track bar failed at 46,000 highway miles causing extremely dangerous steering . Dodge is aware they have a problem with these components and is unwilling to address under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10010246, filed 2003-03, 46,000 miles“2003 Dodge ram 2500 pickup. Front tie rod ends, spindles, axles are all covered with rust after only 2 months. I am afraid these parts will rust through and cause loss of steering. If the tie rods rust through, you will have no steering. If the spindle rusts through, you will lose a wheel. Either of these scenarios can kill. The inside rear view mirror seems to be smaller than normal. It does not provide full coverage of a rear view. Does this mirror meet legal requirements? The rear seat has no head restraints. …”
