What owners wrote

The other driver was at a stop and I was driving between 50 and 55 MPH on the highway. The other driver pulled out infront of me from my left to right. As we impacted my air bag did not deploy but the passenger's air bag did deploy. I was the only person in my car. I struck him with such force that the vehicle I was driving was forced off the road and then was stopped by a tree. After 2 hits the driver's side air bag still did not deploy. The vehicle was deemed a total loss.

Dt: the differential on the front of the 2001 durango was different than the one in the rear. This was causing a hazard for driving. It entailed the changing on one rear end. Vehicle was bought at an auction. It had a manufacturer's defect. The consumer has been in contact with chrysler, and chrysler repaired the defect. Consumer had to pay the bill for that. The consumer noticed this when they tried to put the durango into 4 wheel drive, and it started erratically.
