Brake Disc Pads Problems of Dodge Durango

"brembo break pads" I purchased my vehicle in October of 2018, I was quoted for new brake pads all around at 9000 miles in June of 2019. After finding out about the manufacture warranty, I was told that I only need rear brake pads replaced now. (note: there is less then 1mm on rear pads currently and 4mm on the front pads) , I told the manager at rydell that, I believe the braking system is defective. I have never herd of replacing the brake pads on a brand new vehicle this soon. I called three different dealers and they find it weird that I have to change the brakes already with only 9000 miles on the car. Mind you, I am the first owner of this vehicle and when I purchased it, it had 300 miles on the car already. The manager, rick guzman at rydell in san fernando even went as far as to accuse me of racing my vehicle. However, shouldn't balding tires coincide with that accusation? everything on my vehicle is the same as it was when I drove of their lot in October of 2018. There is no way, after putting 8,700 miles on my own, that I should need to change all four brake pads on a brand new vehicle. And the dealer is now fighting me to only change the brakes in the rear. I believe all four pads should be changed out. With the rear pads at 1mm and the front pads at 4mm, something sounds really wrong. The vehicle is not even a year old yet !.

I have a 2002 Dodge Durango. It has rear antilock brakes. I have had numerous close calls in hard stop situations where the wheels lock up and the vehicle slides forward. I have taken it to a brake specialist who agreed after a test ride there was a serious problem but said I needed to get the dealer involved. I have taken it to several Dodge dealers over a period of about four years. They have made several recommendations to which I had the service done and it made no difference. Now they keep telling me there is nothing wrong. I got Dodge regional involved last year. They told me to take it back to the dealer and have them check it out. The dealer said that the abs was engaging early but did nothing to correct the problem. I recently reached Dodge regional again. He says he talked to the service manager at the dealership who told him they recommended the rotors be replaces and I refused. I told him that was a lie that I had the rotors and pads replaced. Dodge regional said there was nothing he could do to help. He said the service manager recommended I bring the car in for inspection again at another $90. I told him I refuse to keep paying these fees to have them tell me there's nothing wrong. I then put in a call to the service manager at the dealer and left him a detailed message asking him to please return my call. He never returned my call. I have attempted to reach Dodge regional for the last few days and his phone just rings with no voicemail picking up. I am out of ideas and patience. I love my vehicle but it is a severe hazard. It seems as though once again nothing will happen until someone is killed or seriously injured before anything gets done. I have plenty of documentation with my complaints to the dealers as backup. I hope someone there can help me get this problem resolved. By the way, I know another person who has the same year Durango as me and she complains of the same problem.

Dt:consumer noticed that vehicle started riding rough. Consumer replaced shocks, but the front end still seemed to ride rough enough to feel all bumps in road. Consumer had brake pads changed and the mechanic showed consumer that ball joints were bad. Mechanic checked both top and bottom ball joint on driver's side. Ball joints showed lots of wear. Then, mechanic checked passenger side to find that more slack was in passenger side than driver side. Mechanic told consumer that there were stories of wheels coming off of same type of vehicle. Consumer says that vehicle is not used for off road use. Vehicle is used for highway and city driving. Consumer is scared to drive vehicle. Consumer is aware of recall on newer models. Feels that same problem exists with this vehicle. Consumer has not yet replaced ball joints. Vehicle is serviced regularly about every 4500 miles at a quick lube.

Brake problems with my 2002 Dodge Durango XLT plus. At high or low speeds when you have to make a sudden stop and hit the brakes, they attempt to grab but then let go, and your only hope is to stop in time. I have had the brakes looked at by 2 mechanics other than the Dodge dealership(tim parker of hot springs) and both say that there is a definite problem with the brakes. However, after spending $300 for brake pads and several other visits to tim parkers, they keep denying a problem and tell me that is just how the brakes are on the Dodge. I asked them if when that 1 small child runs out in the street to catch his ball and I am the unlucky person to be traveling down that street and I apply the brakes but can not stop, if they would be ready to accept their responsiblility. I have copies of all reports from them stating there is nothing wrong with the brakes. I am afraid to drive it at all but traveleing 64 miles a day it is necessary. Can someone please help me? surely I am not the only person complaining of the brakes!.

I have had to replace my ball joints on my 1999 Dodge Durango twice in three years. I also found out today that I needed a new hub assembly. I know there are lot of people experiencing similar problems with this vehicle and want to know if there is anything that can be done to have daimler/Chrysler fix this problem. I also, know that there is a recall for 2000-2004 models, but what about 1999 models. It seems as though similar problems exist with premature aging of the ball joints and other front end components.

This problem happened more than once, and the consumer was concerned. While applying the brakes the pedal went to the floor , followed by a loud banging noise coming from the front of the vehicle. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that both brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Consumer informed the mechanic that this issue had not been resolved.

The vehicle in front of the consumer slammed on brakes. The incident was caused by pitted rotors. The brake shoes grabbed hard on the pitted rotors caused the abs to kick in which also caused the vehicle to jerk in stop and go motion.

While making urgent stop with heavy brake pedal application, brakes suddenly let loose for a moment and then resume braking action. Upon first incident, dealer replaced various abs components. Not solved. More checks, not solved. Eventually, front and rear brake pads were changed, even though they were not worn out. This solved the problem for another 30,000 or so miles. With slight wear on the brake pads, problem occurred again. Paid for new brake pads even though they were not recommended. This again solved the problem.

I purchased a new Durango 2 years ago, and at present the SUV has slightly over 14,000 miles. The dealer has informed me that the rotors must be turned and new brake pads installed. This type of work at 14,000 miles (7,000 miles per year) is unacceptable. At this rate 30,000 miles will require new pads and rotors. Apparantly, the brakes/rotors are undersized for the size and weight of the vehicle or the pads and/or rotors are defective, both safety issues in my opinion.

When applying the brakes vehicle pulsated/vibrated. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced due to corrosion.

See all problems of the 2001 Dodge Durango 🔎.

Front brake pads/rotors were causing the vehicle to pulsate when braking at any speed. Dealership repaired vehicle five times, but the consumer was still having the same problems.

While driving between 40 to 50 mph there was severe vibration in the front end of the vehicle. Dealer replaced rotors. And pads, but problem recurred.

While driving vehicle was hopping when braking. First, at high speeds and now at any speed. Owner took the vehicle to the dealer, and was informed that the rotors were made of a different alloy which was not compatible to the brake pads, causing the rotors to warp.

Had the ball joints replaced on a 2003 Dodge durgano and brake pads replaced and truck is still riding and handling badly. Dealers do not take the problem serious. What can I do.

My wife was travelling at 65 mph on a clear day, on dry pavement when traffic reduced speed ahead of her. She slowed by gradually applying the brakes. While applying additional brake pedal pressure, the vehicle continued to slow down, but not at a rate sufficient to prevent a collision. The 2000 Dodge Durango 4x4 is equipped with abs, which did not actuate at any time while attempting to slow. Prior to the collision, the brake pedal was pressing as firmly as possible. The vehicle was taken to a local Dodge dealer where the brakes and abs were checked. The initial response was that vehicles with abs do not stop the same as vehicles without abs; if pressure is gradually applied, the anti-lock feature will not activate. The brakes must be released and then applied rapidly to activate the abs. The dealer stated that the abs is operating properly but the front rotors were out of round. The rotors were causing the brakes to grab, causing the abs to activate. The front brake pads were replaced with oem pads, and the front rotors were resurfaced. Following repairs, my wife and I tested the vehicle to determine whether the initial condition of failure could be duplicated. During this test, the abs was activated several times. It should be noted here that the abs had never been activated in the 14 months of ownership prior to this test. I had my wife drive the vehicle to determine whether, under similar 'simulated' conditions, she would activate the abs, under sufficient brake pedal pressure. She was able to activate the abs each time the gradual increase in brake pedal pressure was applied. We believe there is still a reliability question of the abs on the Dodge Durango and that the vehicle may fail to reduce speed sufficiently to avoid a collision under conditions which should pose no safety concern and we are questioning the safety of continuing to drive our 2000 Dodge.

The ball joints wore out on the vehicle. The consumer also had problems with the rotors, drums, worn brake pads and bald tires. The consumer bought this vehicle two weeks ago and the dealer promised that various problems would be fixed but has not honored his promise (pe 03-032 front susp. Upper ball joint failure).

Dealer states that brake rotors are warped to the point of not being turned and that I will need to pruchase new ones at the cost of approx. $450. 00. The brakes pads are only slightly worn. Car shutters vigorously when brake is applied. Dealer states that this is not under warrenty and that this is not a manufacturers defect. I have contacted Dodge/chrystler waiting for a response.

The brake system on my 2001 Durango consistently has given me problems even after two changes on the pads. My Durango only has 30,000 miles on it and I keep it up to date according to the manufacture. The paint job on the vehicle which was brand new has faded near the fender walls and the door jams. I love this vehicle but am disappointed with the quality of the most important things in a vehicle; overall appearance.

I own a 2002 Dodge Durango with 35,000 miles that has always been properly maintained. I have already had the dealer replace 2 worn ball joints last week, I've had the brake pads replaced twice, and one rotor on one side (in front) turned, and I am still hearing strange noises. I would like an investigation done on my vehicle, as I am driving my daughter and myself around everyday, and my factory warranty is about to expire. Its obvious daimler Chrysler is not concerned with saving peoples lives, as I have just witnessed the March third evening edition of cbs news with dan rather. I am rather concerned that the transportation safety administration has let daimler Chrysler get away with not recalling these problems considering the large amount of complaints with these suspension systems. Please help me and contact me. Thank you. Email me at jcookie100@earthlink. Net or phone me (858)220-0419. Im not real sure what to do at this point. Thank you. Signed, a concerned parent and driver.

While driving in neighborhood another vehicle pulled out in front. Consumer slammed on brakes and front wheels locked up, vehicle skidded and slammed into the vehiclein front. Contacted dealer who said that brake pads never touched the drums. Also, rear arm actuator power windows will not go up or down.

See all problems of the 1998 Dodge Durango 🔎.

A technician serviced the truck. The technician inspected the brakes and noticed that the brake rotors were fine but the brake pads were pitted. The vehicle has less then 30,000 miles on it.

When the brakes were depressed suddenly or hard they would not hold and the vehicle would skid. The abs drums were warped but the pads were not worn per the dealership. .

Front brake pads experienced excessive wear and overheating, causing pads to separate from brake plate which separated from caliper. Consumer has contacted dealer. Pads were replaced every three months. Please provide any further details.

Dealership was unable to perform a front alignment. This was as a result of the upper/lower ball joints/ inner tie rod/ front shocks/rear shocks, and front brake rotor and pads being defective, and needed to be replaced.
