1998 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"My first SUV and it serves our family well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The o-2 sensor went out at 81000 miles.
The transmission had a bad gasket on it leaking a quart of fluid a week.
Both of these items were repaired by the dealer under warranty during the first 30 days.
The rear passenger power window motor has now went out this week.
I did purchase an extended warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles with a zero deductible for $1,200 which will cover the window motor repair.
General comments?
Overall the SUV rides well and has been trouble free for a used vehicle.
The gas mileage is 13 city and 19 on the highway.
I love being able to fold the seats down to haul cargo compared to my Town & Country's complete removal to haul things.
