1999 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 25,000 miles. coolant leak, dealer charged warranty for water pump, timing cover gasket, thermostat housing gasket, this was of no cost to me. Dealer actually replaced o, ring at water pump. All the above work was done in less than (4) four hours. At the same time of the coolant leak I reported a transmission noise. Dealer claimed noise is normal.
General comments?
At 35,500 miles. noise in front end, dealer charged warranty for lower control arm package, (2) two ball joints, this was of no cost to me. Dealer actually replaced (2) two lower ball joints. Dealer also did front wheel brake job, $300. cost to me. At the same time of this repair I again reported transmission noise. Dealer claimed noise is nommal, road tested car, NO PROBLEM FOUND..
