What owners wrote
I have had 3 wrecks . 2 I hit deer head on the last, my brakes failed steering failed as I skid and I hit a tree in feb 2013. At no time did my airbags inflate. I wore my seat belt on all 3 occasions not injured except lower back pain every once in a while.
The front end of my 2003 dodge durango began to have a thumping noise. I could not identify what it was or exactly where it was coming from. On my way home from work, friday august 4,2006 I lost braking on the vehicle and the left front wheel became detached from the axle. I lost control of the vehicle, skidded and stopped in a residential neighborhood. Had this ocurred while I was in the mountains (which I am quite a bit) or on the interstate (which I am on every day) myself or others may have been killed.
