Three problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We have had a litany of problems with the abs system, the last one being in October 2008. The mechanic replaced a sensor and it was fine until 1/8/2009. While driving the car the abs motor switched on and wouldn't turn off, even with the engine off. Dobbs auto had to disconnect the unit and tried to order the new module, but it backordered until January 30,2009. I now have to drive the car without any abs brakes and it will cost over $900 to replace module. Since it is backordered the mechanic believes that is an indication of a defect with module and thus I think it should be replaces by Dodge, no cost to me. When I notified Dodge they told me one of their mechanics would have to look at it.
Engine check guage light came on. Checked gauges no change. Within 5 minutes, clicking started. Pulled off road, car shut off. Aaa towed to nearest Dodge dealer. Fixed. (?) shut off same way after fix. Went back to dealer, stated different problem, abs sensor added additional charges. Went to 2nd Dodge dealer fix sensor for several hundred dollars less. Shut off again 2nd dealer refused to work behind original dealers work. Had aaa tow to auto clinic, clinic stated that parts originally stated by 1st dealer as good were infact damaged. (head gaskets, bad pistons and valves. Help!.
Intermittently when applying brakes the pedal starts to stop normally. Brakes begin to grind, resulting in extended stoppingdistance. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and determined that abs sensor is bad. The part has been on back order.
