I OWN A 1998 DODGE DURANGO WITH 22,000 MILES. ALL FOUR FRONT END BALL JOINTS ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE DURANGO AND DAKOTA MODELS. WHILE THE WORN BALL JOINTS HAVE NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN MY CASE YET, THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED PREMATURELY AT A CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE TO ME FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW. I REITERATE THAT MY WORN BALL JOINTS HAVE NOT YET CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I AM OBSERVANT ENOUGH TO NOTICE THE CLICKING SOUND THEY MAKE AND TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BEFORE THEY DO CAUSE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN PICTURES RECENTLY OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE WHO HAVE HAD SERIOUS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE. *NLM
2008
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 DODGE DURANGO WITH 28,000 MILES ON IT. JUST RECENTLY WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP AND THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS OFF MEANING THE TANK IS FULL, UPON REMOVING THE HANDLE GAS ERUPTS FROM THE TANK AND POURS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY DURANGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A GREAT DANGER AND A RECALL WITH A FIX SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
