2003 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"Extremely poor manufacturing quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The remote keys have stopped working twice.
Power driver seat no longer works.
At 30kmiles the heads from the motor had to be taken out and cleaned.
The check engine light comes on if we don't run Shell V-Power. Don't ask how long and how we came to this conclusion!
The AC has gone out TWICE!
Most recently the Idle air motor has gone out.
General comments?
The spaciousness and style are the reasons we bought the vehicle. It looks good and drives well.
However, it has been in the shop, countless times. Which may not have been too bad if the dealership would have been semi-helpful or considerate of the inconvenience. But no, they didn't even offer to give me and my 2 small kids a ride home, while they kept my vehicle for over a week, 2 separate times.
Once the warranty was up, we stopped bringing it to the dealer... Dodge will never get any more of my money (at least directly from me)
They are smart though, b/c they put parts on the car that you can only get from the manufacturer. As often as the parts break, they should really be in the black!
