What owners wrote
Two months ago, a new frame was installed on my 2002 dodge durango. On sept. 14, 2003 my daughter was in an accident on interstate 26 coming to my home. She said the car went out of control and she hit the concrete wall and ended up in the side of interstate. The driver side of the axle looks like it broke. The tire has not been found yet which has the studs, hub etc.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 dodge durango. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle vibrated excessively. Also, when the brakes were applied the vehicle would skid and jerk forward. The failure was recurring. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id numbers: 07v555000(power train) and 08e064000(suspension) but was advised by the dealer that all recall for the vehicle had been satisfied. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 215,000.
