2/18/2009 mechanic fixed wheel bearing-front suspension hub and bearing left side 1 yr ago same thing was done to right side. I paid out of pocket both times. He told me to check into recall on Dodge Durango.
Consumer heard a noise coming from vehicle when turning left. The consumer had a mechanic inspect the vehicle and when he removed the wheel the hub fell in his hand in several pieces.
I purchased a 2000 Dodge Durango in June 2003. I have had continuing problems with front suspension, ball joints,right hub assembly. Right side hub assembly has been replaced 5 times in the last 6 years and I was just told yesterday that it will need to be replaced again. I was also informed by my mechanic of 18 years, the whole front suspension is bad and the differential will also have to be replaced. I have owned this truck 11 years and have kept it well maintained,in all this time, I have had only one official recall for upper arm ball joints in 2005. I have called Chrysler twice to question why I have had to replace the hub assembly so frequently(every year for the last 5 of 6 years) and they insist there is nothing wrong or a specific recall for my VIN. I have had enough with replacing the same part over and over every year. Something needs to be done about this hub assembly & front suspension. I have noticed the same complaints online as mine. . . . Front end vibration when reaching speeds of 55-60 mph, ball joint issues, hub assembly issues, and front suspension issues. There are currently 2 recalls for 2000 Dodge Durango front suspension and hub assembly units, and conveniently for Chrysler, neither are my VIN number Durango. Surprise, surprise!! I will continue to file complaints with Chrysler until some one decides to take action and get these issues repaired once and for all. I am getting a little tired of constantly putting out hundreds of dollars for the same issue year after year!! please help get this issue resolved!.
Both front hubs are bad causing both tires to wobble and sway on turns. Tires are now worn out completely on inside.
Conesumer states front hub bearing is wearing prematurely , causing a loud noise . Dealer notified.
