What owners wrote
2005 dodge durango. In 2007 tierod end on passenger side broke while going down the road. Luckily there was not an accident and the dealer fixed it for free. In august 2011 we discovered that the brake line was laying on the front axle on the drivers side. This caused the brake line to rub in two and caused brake failure resulting in a crash (which is how the problem was discovered). The tow truck driver also said he picked up a durango that had the upper and lower ball joint broken causing an accident.
I have owned my 05 durango since 07. My durango has stalled now 4 times in 6 months. Once in a hospital parking lot going very slow. Next time while backing out of my driveway. About a month ago I turned into my neighborhood and made a slow left turn onto my street. It lost power halfway into the turn. No rpm's no speedo. No power steering no power brakes. I man handled the turn, flipped it in neutral. Turned the key off then on and I had my speedo back, and I continued to start it back up.
