What owners wrote
Early generation dodge durango (98-01) has ABS problems, causing ABS to shut down, leaving the brake pedal very low. I have researched this to be a very common problem and the vehicle was never recalled on this. Fix to problem seems to only be a complete brake system rebuild, with aftermarket parts to fix the problem and not have it return again.
I have had to replace my ball joints on my 1999 dodge durango twice in three years. I also found out today that I needed a new hub assembly. I know there are lot of people experiencing similar problems with this vehicle and want to know if there is anything that can be done to have daimler/chrysler fix this problem. I also, know that there is a recall for 2000-2004 models, but what about 1999 models. It seems as though similar problems exist with premature aging of the ball joints and other front end components.
