The ABS motor failed on my 2001 Durango with only 80 some thousand miles. I've been told it would anywhere from $800 to $1200 to have the motor replaced, which is what was diagnosed by a mechanic as failing. The cost does not balance with the value of the vehicle!! I've just been driving it with black tape over the idiot lights! It should NOT have failed with this low of miles!

I bought my 2001 durango used in 2002 with 26000 miles on it. I have spent over 2000.00 in repairs since on control panels and modules. The abs and parking brake lights continue to stay on after starting the vehicle. What is up with this?

Durango SL 5.2

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,000 miles

In 2003 I brought my 2001 Durango used from a Nissan Dealer with 57k miles. I brought a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty which expired last month. A year after I had my Durango, the ABS and Brake lights started to come on. I would start the engine, everything ok. Then I 'm driving on the highway and all of a sudden they come on. I stop and restarted the engine, the lights were off. I went back to the dealer, they could not find the problem. This past weekend at 70K miles, I got new tires. When the car was on the lift I looked at the rotors and brake pads. They looked a little worn. The lights were coming on and staying on. Could this be the ABS sensor? I'm thinking about a complete brake job? I also have small issue when I fill up the gas tank. The gauge show's empty? Then at 3/4 full the gage starts working? Wondering how to correct this problem?????.

Durango SLT

The abs light on the dash is constantly on, this occured February of 2006. The car was bought second hand back in October of 2005. I went back to dealer to complain. The dealer stated that due to the number of kilometers and that the vehicle was over four years old that they would not cover the repairs. Are there any other owners of a 2001 Dodge Durango experiencing the same problem of a failure of the ABS module?
