Within the first 30,000 miles I noticed an oily substance on the floor of my garage underneath the rear of my Durango. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the rear pinion seal was bad and had to be replaced. The seal was replaced and 13,000 miles later I noticed the same oily substance on the garage. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and was told the rear pinion seal had gone bad again. The first time was covered by the warranty and was at no cost to me. The second time was past 36,000 miles but still within my 75,000 mile warranty. I was informed that since it was past 36,000 miles I would have to pay a $100 deductible. I do not haul things with my vehicle and do not understand why the seal continues to go bad.

We purchased our 2001 Dodge Durango in Dec. 2000. In March 2001, my husband returned to the fullerton dealership in CA to have the vehicle looked at due to prob. With the steering wheel on the freeway, when he hit bumps. They could not find a problem wtih the vehicle, advised him that it was just due to the los angeles freeways. We have taken the car in on several occasions due to it feeling wobly and unstable, we have been told time and time that we need wheel alingments. Also, we were experiencing a prob. With the brakes reverbrating, only to be informed that it was part of the anti-lock brake system. Yesterday, I was driving home and nearly hit a pedestrian and several vehichles because I lost control of the vehicle, the steering wheel was "off-center" and I was not able to control it. When I made a turn, specifically, left the steering wheel felt like it was skidding or hydroplanning. I recently had tires put ont he vehicle and a wheel alignment. It feels like my wheel on the left (driver's) side is going to fall off. I am having the vehicle towed to the dealer today.
