#95 of 718 load noise while driving by dmykula Mar 21, 2006 (10:02 am)
I have a '99 Durango that has been really great to me. no real problems ever. All of a sudden when i drive over about 30 miles an hour, I get a much loader sound and some vibration from what sounds like the front end. When I take a turn, the noise is greatly reduced. I thought it might be something with ball bearings....but not sure. Has anybody had this problem? I think its this part FRONT HUB and BEARING, Durango, w/Four Wheel ABS, Right + left Replies to this message: ceckert (Mar 25, 2006 4:48 am) howardc44 (Jun 05, 2006 4:48 am)
#96 of 718 Brake problem by paulg2 Mar 21, 2006 (5:33 pm)
2002 Durango. When I have to make sudden stop and slam on the brake padel, the truck slows down, but then it sort of lets go as if the brake is non-functioning for a second, and then the brake kicks in again, and then lets go... over and over until the truck comes to a stop. I noticed this as a brand new car. Is this Dodge's idea of anti-lock brake system, or is there something wrong with my brakes? Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

#100 of 718 Re: load noise while driving [dmykula] by ceckert Mar 25, 2006 (4:48 am)
Replying to: dmykula (Mar 21, 2006 10:02 am) My '98 has been doing the same thing for years and I have never been able to definitively isolate the cause, however mechanical problems have never surfaced that would be indicative of a noise. My starts at 45mph. I believe the problem is the flimsy plastic skirting under the front end and in the wheel wells vibrating after you attain a certain speed-this may explain why it goes away in a turn- the air flow direction changes as it passes by the skirting. If you live in an area where you blast through snow banks, or even large puddles, I have found this can dislodge the skirting which then makes the noise worse on the highway. Check the skirting and if it is dislodged, try temporarily using "Ty-wraps" to put it back in place and see if that changes the noise.
#101 of 718 Random Starting Problems with '98 by ceckert Mar 25, 2006 (5:22 am)
For the last 2-3 years, my '98 will randomly refuse to start--when this happens, it won't turn over at all. It seems like a contact isn't being made in the electrical system somewhere. The problem can occur cold or after it has been driven--there is no pattern. Usually, if I wait a minute or two(sometimes up to 10 minutes), it will start. Tricks to help it start include slipping the shifter into neutral, bouncing up and down in my seat, tilting the steering wheel, etc. The problem is getting worse. Any help/experience would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: starla (Aug 27, 2008 9:02 am) justincuti18 (Aug 27, 2008 2:27 pm) 2000dd (Mar 30, 2009 2:13 pm)
#102 of 718 Dumping Fuel by jmuehlstein Mar 26, 2006 (10:43 am)
I have a 2001 durango. Out of the blue it started running extremely rough and backfiring. While keeping it running, the converter turned blistering glowing hot. Talked to the dealership, they said sounded like either clogged muffler system or dumping of fuel. Had a quarter tank of fuel. I let it cool down, tried to start it again. Now I cannot hear the fuel pump turn on and the gas gauge shows completely empty. Put 5 gals of fuel in, and gauge still not registering. Where would the dumping of fuel possibly occur and I wonder what has happened to the pump and gauge. Really getting a bit frustrated, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
