Eight problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle is hard to steer it also has a problem disengaging the 4 wheel drive the vehicle's tires in the front rub against the wheel wells causing uneven tread wear the vehicle is deemed unsafe also due to the vehicle's suspension bushings in the front in the tie rods in the front of the vehicle are loose causing a over compensation and under compensation for steering possibly resulting in fatality ultimately due to a bad lane change forcing the vehicle to collide with another vehicle ending up ultimately in fatality.
The Durango which is a 1999 model recently broke 100,000 miles, after it hit that 100. 00 mile mark I noticed that the steering had at least 1/2 in. Of play. I took the Durango in to a tire place to have my tires replaced and they told my that the tie rods were bad. That was around christmas. Not too long ago I replaced the transfer case on the truck costing me almost $400. 00!! the mechanic advised me that I was about a weeks worth of driving away from being put in a ditch because my tie rods were in such bad condition. I have to go to work so this problem is not acceptable. I came across a blog talking about a recall for the 2000-2003 model Durangos that had the same problem. I want something done about my Durango that I don't have to pay for because I cannot afford to fix a problem on my only vehicle that is not my problem. The vehicles were manufactured unsafe.
I began hearing a horrid squeal in the rear wheels of my 1999 Dodge Durango. I took it to a dealer who said the joints were worn, and it would be over $1500 to fix it, and it was not under warranty. They said there might be a recall, but had not been. I had two joints replaced fixed at another repair shop, but now the squealing has started again, and also is accompanied by the front end shaking when I drive over 50 mph.
While driving approximately 45 mph, the left front wheel collapsed, and caused the vehicle to hit another vehicle.

Suspension problems, multiple repairs.
My Durango lost control for no reason on a suuny, cloudless day 4-24-01. I was turning the vehicle left and it suddenly went right throwing me into a guard rail and down a bluff, breaking my back. After watching cbs news two weeks ago, I realized it was suspension failure complained about by hundreds of other owners.
Tires has uneven wear. The front shock were also replaced. The consumer continued to have problems with the tires and suspension.
