Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Overheating of brake components, especially in a heavier vehicle like the Durango, can cause brake fade, reducing stopping power.
Warped brake rotors
Heavy braking or frequent driving in mountainous areas can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to pulsating brakes.
Engine misfires
The HEMI V8 engine can experience misfires due to issues with ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors.
Oil consumption
Some V8 engines, including the HEMI, are known to consume more oil, leading to frequent top-ups.
Cooling system issues
The V-shaped engine configuration can sometimes lead to uneven cooling, causing overheating or coolant leaks.
Exhaust manifold leaks
The HEMI engine can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
Throttle body problems
Electronic throttle control issues can cause poor acceleration or stalling.
Fuel pump failure
The fuel pump can wear out over time, leading to fuel delivery issues and engine performance problems.
Transmission problems
The 2006 Durango is known for issues with the automatic transmission, including hard shifting and transmission failure.
Suspension wear
Due to the weight and size of the Durango, suspension components like bushings, ball joints, and shocks can wear out prematurely.
Electrical issues
Older models like the 2006 Durango can experience problems with electrical components, including the alternator, battery, and wiring harnesses.
Rust and corrosion
Depending on the climate, the Durango can be prone to rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel wells.
