April l. Ray(spouse), told me of noise coming from the front end of the vehicle, around wheel wells, before I could have this looked into, today(December 19, 2004), my wife was driving down woodrow kay rd. In rockmart GA. , as she drove up a slight incline that bared to the left, she noticed the driver side wheel started to wobble, before she could get over the hill, and clear of any traffic, she heard a snap or pop sound, then the driver side wheel bowed out and she lost control of the vehicle. Which in an instant threw her across the opposite lane and into the embankment on the other side of the road. After hitting the embankment the vehicle came to a rest on the driver side bumper, the driver side wheel was completely bowed towards the rear of the vehicle. This is a current insurance claim, but we are waiting to hear of the results, which also resulted in two false citations for her driving ability.

I previously complained about steering problem with 2000 Dodge Durango. I paid nearly $2,000. 00 in October 2003 to have problem fixed. It still pulled to the left. Mechanic said that it was because the tires were worn out. I just bought new tires and the car pulls to the right real bad. I went back to the tire store they replaced the front left tire and I still have problem. I am concerned for my and my families safety. When I go over a bump or train track or groove in the road my car jumps to the left.

2000 Dodge Durango slt--when driving and hit a small crack or bad road the SUV gives a jerk in the front like it is pulling to either side real fast causing loosing of control quickly--it is very noticable--I just got this SUV last month and there is something wrong with why the car jumps out of control when you hit a bad spot in the road--try to Dodge the bad roads but is impossible!.
While traveling at highway speed, the truck suddenly veered to the right and struck a retaining wall and went into a spin. There were no other cars on the road and the weather was clear. Upon exiting the vehicle the passenger side front wheel and suspension were separated form the truck. Had the tire or wheel or suspension failed prior to the accident or were they damaged after impact with the barrier, I am unable to tell. We have no explanation for the sudden loss of control of the vehicle. The truck is currently in possession of allstate insurance agency and VIN is 1b4hs28n5yf266693. Ea03-023.
While driving at 25 mph, and with no warning front suspension collapsed, causing the driver to lose control. Vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. . Ea03-023.
Excessive tire wear on 2000 Dodge Durango. New front tires cupped after 5000 miles. Could this be related to a potential defect currently under investigation per a 7/22/03 news release?.
I own a 2000 Dodge Durango. On two differant occasions I have taken my Durango to the local Dodge dealer to have them investigate a popping sound in the front end of the truck. On both occasions they said there is nothing wrong and they can't find a problem with anything.
When car goes over any bump it make a groaning noise. Sounds like my 10 year old pickup. In the shop 2 time. Not fixed.
Front left bushing repaired 6 times and still squeaks at every suspension compression.
Problems controlling steering, when hitting very small bumps on the highway. Car tends to jump and skip hard to the left or right, causing the driver to be forced to compensate hard on the steering wheel to keep the back end of the car from fishtailing. Problem keeps knocking car out of alignment & has now caused damage to both front tires. Have been advised by independant mechanics, that the wrong road conditions (rain, snow etc. . . ) could very likely create a fatal outcome if this problem is not corrected.
Vehicle has been in to the shop repeatedly for front end alignment problems. Currently working with attorney under California lemon law. Vehicle had two front defective tires that were replaced by goodyear. The front end has been confirmed by two different dealerships as being out of aligment five times now. Vehicle initially pulled hard to the right at freeway speeds. After supposedly being repaired by the dealership, the vehicle started pulling hard to the left at freeway speeds. I feel that there is a safety issue because you have to significantly compensate "the pull" by holding the steering wheel at an angle. The pull of the vehicle is damaging the front tire that are currently on the vehicle. (tiresize: 31-1050r15)( dot number: tire size: 31-1050r15 ).
Vehicle fishtails when riding over ripples and bad roads. Dealer rotated/balanced tires and aligned car. Still makes you feel you are going to loose control on bad roads. Tv program showed an account of a problem similiar to mine which dealt with a steering and stabilization defect. We nearly lost control when pulling an RV recently. Dealer didn't know what else to do about problem at the time.
While driving consumer heard a noise indicating that something was loose in the front end. This would also occur when a bump was hit and driving on a gravel road.
When the vehicle hit a bump it jerked out of control. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic who indicated that the front end needed to be replaced. The consumer stated the vehicle pulled to the left and the right. The vehicle has worn out three tires within the last 14 months.
