Engine Burning Oil Problems of Dodge Durango

The check engine light keeps coming on showing code p0430. This code shows bank 2 catalytic converter. I had the catalytic converter changed and short time later the code showed up again. I took it to the maintenance shop and they informed me that the engine valve seals are leaking oil into the combustion chamber causing the check engine light to come on. Also when the check engine light comes on the vehicle pours out blue smoke which is oil burning. Many others have had the same problem. No recalls on this issue.

At 41000 miles my 1999 Durango 5. 9l experienced spark knock and heavy oil consumption. Oil changed at every 3000 miles. Called Chrysler for help. They said too old and did not offer any help. I replaced all the valve seals. Did not fix. Replaced the plenum gasket as stated by the technical bulletin. Did not fix. Finally, tore down engine and found a broken oil ring on #8 cylinder. Replaced all rings and bearings. Finally fixed all at my cost. Chrysler did not offer help. Only one thing to say to Chrysler, you have one less customer.

My 1999 Durango started experiencing a spark knock and engine oil consumption due to bad intake gasket design. I have talked to a couple of other Durango owners who have experienced the same problem at the same mileage. The gasket can't be properly tightened and oil leaks into the intake causing a knocking under load. The fix costs around $1,000.

November 1, 2002 our 2000 Dodge Durango malfunctioned. It was towed into a dealership where an adjuster from our extended warranty company (north american) was sent. According to the mechanic at the dealership, an "upper plenum gasket" malfunctioned, causing oil to suck up into a part of the engine and burn up. We were told that the burned oil then dropped into the oil pan where it was then sucked up into the intake and became clogged. North american denied our claim stating negligence on our part. A representative with north american stated to me that they did not agree with the adjuster. We had to borrow over $4,000 to replace the engine in this vehicle. I have since found other people in the united states who are posting this same issue with Dodge Durango's (and not just the year 2000) consumer was asking how come there's no official investigation has opened regarding vehicle. Consumer has found 20 plus similar complaints.

The oil pressure dropped and all the lights on the panel had come on. While driving the vehicle had become sluggish and then had gone back to normal. The dealer was unable to remedy. The oil was burning every 200 miles. The ovt valley pan gasket was changed, and the intake gasket was replaced. There was a loud knocking and or clicking in the motor. The dealer found sludge in the motor, and found that it was blown. The seat wouldn't slide/hard to lift, and the a/c compressor was found loose. Ts scc.
