Automatic transmission went out completely after 58,000 miles, just under 5 years of use. The vehicle was serviced regularly for all recommended preventative maintenance per vehicle handbook. In addition, it was taken in for transmission check-up once during the first 36,000 miles and was informed that everything was okay. I still felt there was a problem due to the fact that there was a high pitched whinning noise coming from the transmission. Also transmission seemed like it was slipping.
A moaning noise from my transmission while it is in reverse.
After two weeks of purchasing our (2 years old @ that time)durango, as we were driving we heard a loud screaching noise, we found a piece that appearantly broke off, it had to do with the brakes we were told. Later our transmission wasnt functioning properly, it needed new sensor. When steering it screaches (had problem right after purchasing) and its been getting worse, we took it to dealer and they flushed power steering fluid and we also had to have right ball joint replaced at the same time. When steering it still sounds bad. We had to replace the battery a year after purchasing one at the dealership and a month after that our transmission went out. Dealer wanted to charge $3700. 00. We took it somewhere else, hope to pick up today from shop will be paying $2570. 00.
