Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2001 Dodge Durango

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Durango. While driving various speeds and making a right turn, the vehicle pulled to the right and a cracking sound was heard from the front suspension. The contact indicated that the cracking noise was caused by faulty ball joints. In addition, the brake lights would not illuminate and the light bulb and socket was replaced on several different occasions. Also, the plenum gasket leaked oil from the engine, which caused the engine to lose power. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 134,000.

One day I was out shopping parked my car got out tried to lock doors they would lock unless I manually did it. The next day I noticed my headlights, inside lights, windshield wipers, and volume control on staring wheel would not work. That same day when I started my car it started great as always but there was a clicking noise on the driver side by the front wheel. I took it to midas they diagnosed it and fixed it, 3 days later my car did the same thing he told me to take it to the Dodge dealer. I've tried they wont call back! now there is a red security light that came on and wont go off even when the car engine is off. After 4 days of my car being parked with the security light on my car is now dead. I've read online that its a alarm system and I need a key to program it. I bought my car used from the dealer and did not receive an alarm key, alarm key pad or even a spare key fir my car. I see a lot of reviews online about this issue, this has been going on for 1 month or longer now. I believe its a factory issue. Im still going to contact the dealer and get an appointment to get y car fixed.

Whe I drive the Durango it starts out fine. When I am driving at a highway speed the oil pressure is fine, but when I slow down or come to a complete stop the oil pressue is at the line right above the 0. I have read many complaints about the sludge that the engine makes. I have 4 kids and I don't need anything to happen to this vehicle to break down. I also hear a ticking sound when I first start the engine and then it goes away. I don't have the money to pour into this vehicle! if there are so many complaints and the mechanics know about it why isn't there a recall! very dangerous situation for anyone to be in.

While driving 65 mph the vehicle began to slow down. The consumer pulled to the side of the road and checked under the hood but didn't see anything that could have caused the problem. The consumer re-enter the vehicle and when he attempted to start the vehicle it only mad a click sound. The vehicle was towed to a technician who indicated the engine seized.
