NHTSA Complaint #10098506 — 2000 DODGE DURANGO

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING OUR (2 YEARS OLD @ THAT TIME)DURANGO, AS WE WERE DRIVING WE HEARD A LOUD SCREACHING NOISE, WE FOUND A PIECE THAT APPEARANTLY BROKE OFF, IT HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKES WE WERE TOLD. LATER OUR TRANSMISSION WASNT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, IT NEEDED NEW SENSOR. WHEN STEERING IT SCREACHES (HAD PROBLEM RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING) AND ITS BEEN GETTING WORSE, WE TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY FLUSHED POWER STEERING FLUID AND WE ALSO HAD TO HAVE RIGHT BALL JOINT REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN STEERING IT STILL SOUNDS BAD. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND A MONTH AFTER THAT OUR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $3700.00. WE TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, HOPE TO PICK UP TODAY FROM SHOP WILL BE PAYING $2570.00. *AK
