NITTO TERRA GRABBLER. PURCHASED 4 TIRES ON 11/12/15. REAR PASSENGER TIRE FAILED / COMPLETELY CAME APART AND INTO TWO PIECES WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD (PCH) THE SAFETY BRAKE CABLE WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I WAS TOWED HOME. THE DEALER AND NITTO HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. INSTEAD OF KEEPING THE TIRE FOR INSPECTION, THE DEALER THREW THE TIRE AWAY. TIRE WAS GONE THE FOLLOWING DAY. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE. I WANT ALL THE TIRES REPLACED AS THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE WITH THESE TIRES THAT COULD RESULT IN GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. NITTO TIRES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST DUE TO FAILURE.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLICKING NOISE . I ALSO NOTICED THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK . I RECENTLY BOUGHT IT AND I LOOKED ONLINE ALMOST EVERYTHING I SAW WAS BAD . THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPAIR RIGHT .

MY 2005 DURANGO STARTED THIS ABOUT 2 WKS AGO; SEARCHING OTHER FORUMS AND MY MECHANIC SEARCHED HIS SITES, IT'S MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAVING TO DO WITH THE AC SHORTING OUT VOLTAGE TO THE TRANSFER CASE...I AM SENDING A LETTER OFF TO DODGE CORPORATE AS THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER DODGE DURANGO & RAM OWNERS, WHO LIKE ME, FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. I AM NOT ABOUT TO BRING IT IN ONLY TO HAVE A MECHANIC "TRY" TO FIX THE ISSUE AND REPLACE THE WRONG PART SO I HAVE TO GO IN REPEATEDLY AND SPEND MONEY I DON'T HAVE UNTIL (IF EVEN) IT IS SOLVED. I WOULD RATHER TRADE IT IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. HOPING BY SENDING A LETTER TO CORPORATE THEY WILL CONSIDER A RECALL NOTICE OR HELP ME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4X4 TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES ON IT. WE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS WE WERE IN DISCUSSING FINANCING. IT WAS BROUGHT OUT TO US TO TAKE HOME AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. ONE HOUR LATER IT WAS BROUGHT BACK OUT AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO EXACTLY DUPLICATE THE SPEED THAT CAUSED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND MAINTAIN THAT EXACT SPEED FOR 15 TO 20 MILES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET AND THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU ASK ME. WE NOW HAVE 800 MILES ON THE DURANGO AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON. I AM TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THEY HAVE CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTHING IS WRONG THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. HE OFFERED TO SEE IF THEY CAN DISABLE THE LIGHT, BUT THEN WHAT SAFETY AM I GETTING FOR THIS FEATURE? I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFECT OF SOME SORT IN THE TECHNOLOGY. MY SISTER HAS A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION 4X4 AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM
