1999 Dodge Durango review from North America
"Looks good, No brains"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I would agree that the Durango has a great look, but has major engine and internal problems.
I have replaced the intake manifold gasket twice, both times having to pay for it. To the tune of around 700.00 each time.
I have had 4 sensors go out, including the transmission sensor to tell when to change gears.
I also have a window motor that is bad and the window will not move.
I was also losing antifreeze, this was also fixed at my expense by fixing a small pin hole in the radiator and the gasket also had a very small leak.
I have also had transmission problems that were fixed at my expense.
I have also replace tie rods and bearings at my expense.
I have also noticed that the air conditioner does not work very well and the car does not run very well with the air conditioner on.
General comments?
Like most others all the things that have gone wrong with my Dodge Durango they have not had complaints on, therefore are not covered and the customer most pay for them. I would agree with most Durango owners that I will never buy another Dodge product for as long as I drive.
