What owners wrote

My mother in law was lifting the back hatch of her 2000 dodge durango. It was lifted about 3 inches, and I was attempting to help her lift it, when it slipped out of her hand and slammed shut on my right hand first two fingers. It was pulled shut very forcefully by some sort of spring- like mechanism. My fingers were latched into the door when it closed, resulting in injury. Fortunately, they were not broken at the dip, but could have easily been.

January 2003 Injury

Ball joint failure on passenger side. The upper control arms, along with the ball joints have been replaced 3 times in the first 24 months of operation.
