1999 Dodge Dodge Suspension Problems

“I bought a used 1999 durango in 2004 with only 37,000 miles on it. After reaching 51,000 miles the water pump went out and took several other components with it costing $900 in repairs. Now at 67,000 miles, I need to replace tires again and replace ball joints for another $800. No crashes or injuries, just frustration at a poorly built product which no one seems willing to stand behind.”

“Tire has been squeaking loudly for quite a while...found out the ball joints were bad. Had to have them replaced.. Saw multiple things online saying they were recalled for other years ,and close to being recalled for this model, so I am indicating that this was very dangerous...I drive 3 children around and could break down with them. I bought this as a reliable family vehicle and it turned into a piece of junk.”

“I got a inspection done. Mechanic noticed the upper ball joints were extremely bad. He called manufacture to see if there was a recall on the ball joints. I got the upper ball joints replaced and a year later I'm having problems w/ the ball joints again. I'm also experiencing problems w/ the window motor.”

“I have a 1999 Dodge durango with front suspension problems. My mechanic told me I have some serious problems with my front ball joints, hubs etc... I understand there is a recall from Dodge on the year 2000 thru 2003 for this problem. I the model year 1999 covered? The front suspension is the same.”

“L999 Dodge durango upper and or lower ball joint failures on four different occasions over a four year period. Upper and lower ball joints used as original manufacturer installed and replacement parts are known to be deficient according to NHTSA, and accidents as well as expensive replacement costs have occured. I am now in my fourth replacement cycle, with upper ball joints having been replaced three times and the lowers now in their second time. …”
