Seven problems related to wheel have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Durango. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Makong turns, the oil pressure plummets. Wheel speed sensors are causing the dash light to stay on. Been through 2 new pcm computers. Spark plugs foul out too easy. Battery temp sensor needs to be beefed up. Factory anti theft system stopped working. There is a short somewhere. This Durango has died while in motion too. Scary.
Nut came off left front wheel bearing causing wheel to come off vehicle. When picking up pieces, I noticed that there is no cotter key to keep the nut from backing off. Had this happened at higher speeds, the result would have been very serious.
The front tires wore out very quickly, we replaced the tires and within a year they wore out again. Alignment has not helped. We took it in and found out the ball joints are bad. $1000 repair.
While coming to a stop at 15 mph front passenger's side wheel came off. Consumer had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
The passenger side front wheel fell off while driving 35 mph on the road. Driver was able to pull the vehicle off the road. No injuries were reported. Vehilce was towed to the dealer. The problem was undetermined at this time.
Left rear tire rim separated from the axle. Causing consumer to lose control. While driving around a small bend in the road the vehicle pulled to the left. The driver tried to steer the vehicle back into the right lane but lost control if the vehicle. It spun around, hit a barrier wall and came to rest facing traffic. The left rear wheel separated and was found across the highway. It was determined by an investigator that the left rear tire/rim separated and caused the accident.
Consumer noticed while traveling 50-55 mph and without any indication passenger's front wheel fell off. Dealer was contacted.
