Five problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1) abs and brake lights came on, whining noise from front end 2) dealer determined ball joints in front and wheel bearings in serious shaped, laughed at how I was just driving on the highway since the likelihood of the wheels falling off was so high. 3. Dealer installed 2 hub brakes, bearings in front ($1025. 30 cost) and overhauled rear differential, bearings worn and excessive movement in pinion ($924. 48). * now I hear NHTSA has discovered this on 00-03 Durangos (mine is a 98) and wants Chrysler to recall them. I paid all this money to correct a problem even the federal government says is Chrysler's fault. They should give me at least a credit for future repairs.
The consumer heard that there was a recall on Dodge Durangos. The consumer stated that when he was driving his vehicle and made a hard turn it sounded as if his tires were rubbing. While driving slowly, the front end of the vehicle felt funny. The consumer stated he was afraid to drive the vehicle any distance. The abs brake light also came on and stayed on.
All of the vehicle's ball joints had to be replaced. The consumer stated that there was a problem in the front end of the vehicle. The recall did not include the consumers vehicle. The consumer would like to be reimbursed for the amount she paid for service. The abs and brake light came on . The right inner tie rod assembly was replaced.
Abs/brake lights came on. We took the car to a reputable dealer for repairs. First, we were told that the rear speed sensor was defective. The lights came back on 3 months later. Then, we were told that the main relay was open and it need resetting. The lights came on again. We took it back and was told the same thing again( main relay was open). The lights came back on again. This last time we took it in we were told that it needs a antilock controller module, which cost at the minimun of $600. 00.
The abs never worked since purchasing the car. It was reported to the dealer but they kept saying that it was working probably due to the fact that there were no error codes being captured. Recently the abs and brake lights came on. Even with the lights on no error codes were being reported. After several visits to the dealer they finally replaced the control module. The abs works with the new control module and it is now obvious that the abs never worked.
