Brake Disc Caliper Problems of Dodge Durango

My vehicle is unstable when I drive at any distance or speed on the road. I had a recall for the calipers but I do not believe that the issue was fixed. I began having problems after the recall was corrected. I notice that my vehicle would pull to the right side. I took the vehicle to get an alignment but that did not solve the problem. The vehicle is also experiencing wobbling in the rear. I also notice that when I am making turns or lane changes, the vehicle will still pull to the right side. When making stops at the light or stop signs, the vehicle pulls to the right. The brakes and rotors have been change recently and a new alignment was performed but the car still has the same issue.

Our Dodge Durango gt, has developed a loud pop sound when coming to a full stop. I took it to ancira Dodge in san antonio, they advised me the calipers are hitting brake pads and there is nothing they can do. I feel this is a safety issue and Dodge again does not want to help. Our truck has barely 21,787 miles and I'm having so many issues with this defective vehicle.

The front calipers of my Durango have seized up 7 times in the last 3 years. It is professionally serviced and the shop is becoming tired of servicing the vehicle since the failures occur under the warranty period and doesn't cost me anything except time. The time between failures is increasing. It was only 3 months and 2000 miles since having new calipers installed this time. The shop had the vehicle for 3 days because so many Dodge vehicles are having the same problem calipers are in short supply.

When driving down the road there was a grinding sound comeing from the front wheel, upon further inspection I found that the pins holding the calliper on the spindle has pulled the threds out. After replacing it with an oversize calliper pin the threads pulled agian.

2003 Dodge Durango - vibration occurred when braking. At approx. 11,000 miles dealer replaced all four brake rotors. Following replacement of rotors breaking capability decreased significantly. Vibration re-appeared at 24,000 miles. Front brake rotors replaced again. Now at 30,000 miles vibration has re-appeared. I took the Durango to a local garage since dealer was saying no problem with braking capacity. Local garage indicates front rotors need turned again and also that rear brake calipers do not appear to be working.

I was having problems with my 2001 Durango coming to a complete stop when applying the brakes at certain times. I was told by the dealership to replace the brake pads, which I did. The next day, the drivers front wheel started smoking, assuming it was due to the new pads, the truck continued to be driven. A day or two later, it got so bad that the left side caliper seized up and got so hot it started a fire. I then had complete replacement of front roters, calipers and pads. About 6 months later the left side caliper started hanging up and smoking. The rotor, caliper and pads were inspected and found to be in working order. The rotors and pads were cleaned and test driven applying the brakes very hard. After that, things seemed to be working fine. It is now about 6 months later and about a year after the original incident and the left caliper is hanging up again. The brakes on this vehicle have cost me nearly $2,000 up to this point and it looks like it's going to be costing me more $$$ to get it repaired. I have never had such a problem with any vehicle I've ever owned. After my lease is up on my Durango, I will never buy another Dodge ever again.

Beginning in January of 2000 of brakes have malfunctioned. We have experienced our brakes not working at all causing us to run through red lights and past stop signs. Our back brakes have locked up on us on multiple occassions causing us to have to swerve to avoid causing wrecks. On multiple occassions we have left black skid marks on pavement due to back brakes locking up. These breaking problems have happened at speeds varying from 5 miles per hour to 65 miles per hour.

They state that when these brakes get dirty, it will cause them to not function correctly.

2006 Dodge Durango had rear brake failure. The consumer stated he heard a rubbing sound that he recognized as a sign that the rear brake pads were in need of replacement. The consumer was informed that the piston in the rear brake caliper was frozen which resulted in a metal on metal condition when the brakes were applied. The condition had completely destroyed the rear brake rotor. The consumer found there was recall on the anti-lock control unit/module. The consumer went to the dealer, but was told the recall was for specific vehicle identification numbers and his was not included. The dealer also stated the recall was for a software download and had no relationship to the brake failure.
