1998 Dodge Durango

DUE TO TO UNEVEN DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED, OR TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SPIN AND NOT MOVE, AT WHICH THE VEHICLE IGNITION WAS SHUT-OFF. IT WAS ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE VEHICLE ABOUT 50 FEET TO A PARKING PLACE. ANOTHER PERSON OFFERS TO HELP, THEN PUSHES VEHICLE 25/50 FEET...ADVISES TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE WHEEL DOES NOT WANT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS USED A LOT OF POWER STEERING FLUID ALMOST DAILY(HAS A HISTORY OF SQUEALING AND HARD TURNING AT START UNLESS LUBRICATED). SO ADVICE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN REVERSE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE EVEN HARDER TO TURN, IF AT ALL. I REQUESTED HELP FROM THE BYSTANDER, WHO AT WHICH POINT COMES TO THE DRIVER SIDE WHERE I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALSO. IT'S UNKNOWN IF THE BYSTANDER HELP TURNED THE IGNITION ON, OR IF THE IGNITION SOMEHOW TURNED ON BY ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS OCCUPIED BY ONE ADDITION PASSENGER AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED IN REVERSE GEAR, WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WERE MINOR TO SEVERE INJURIES, AND DAMAGE TO 2 VEHICLES AND ONE STRUCTURE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 8/11/2015 AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON ROADWAY AND WAS IN MOTION MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN STRUCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE.

"TAKATA AIRBAG" I WAS IN A ACCIDENT WHERE A PERSON RAN A RED LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 45 MPH AND I T-BONE THAT PERSON'S VEHICLE, WITH ME GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE AIRBAG DELAYED ON DEPLOYMENT IN MY VEHICLE. I HAD MY SEAT-BELT ON BUT I STILL ENDED UP HITTING MY CHEST ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HITTING MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD BEFORE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF MY AIRBAG CAN GET DEFECTIVE OVER YEARS BECAUSE OF THE DELAY OF DEPLOYMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A TAKATA AIRBAG THAT ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST YET OR NOT. I STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAG PART ITSELF THAT I CAN GIVE YOU THE NUMBERS OFF OF. SOMEONE REMINDED ME ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS SO I FIGURED I ASK.

DODGE DURANGO 1998 BALL JOINT FAILURE AND FULL SEPARATION WITH NO WARNING, WHICH CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN AN ON-ROAD ACCIDENT TO SEVERAL VEHICLES. DODGE CORPORATION WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE HUNDREDS OF BALL JOINT FAILURES AND LOST LIVES DUE TO THIS POOR DESIGN AND DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS. MY VEHICLE HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT AND BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES! BALL JOINTS, ACCORDING TO TOP MECHANICS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST ABOUT 100,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT AND RARELY SEPARATE. THESE COMPONENTS USED BY DODGE ARE DEADLY, DEFICIENT, AND OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. HOW MANY MORE LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE THE ISSUE IS PROPERLY DEALT WITH?? *TR

MY WIFE PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO WALK INTO A STORE AND THE CAR JUMPED INTO REVERSE, MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD A BUSY STREET WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT. SHE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND DIVE IN, HITTING THE BRAKES IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION. HER ONLY INJURY WAS A BRUISE ON HER HEAD FROM HITTING THE DOOR FRAME, BUT HAD SHE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER IN TIME THE CAR CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE INDICATOR (TELLING WHAT GEAR I AM IN) IN THE PAST, BUT THE DEALER DISMISSED ALL CLAIMS OF DEFECT. WHEN I HEARD OF THE GRAND CHEROKEE PROBE I REALIZED THERE WAS SOMEHTING I COULD DO TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE OTHERS DO AS WELL.*AK
