1999 Dodge Durango 4x4 SLT review from North America

I bought this SUV used from the biggest dealership in the Phila PA area in August 2002, with ~ 18,000 miles on it.)

Nov/Dec 02 - blows transfer case and chain goes through pan. replaced.

Jan 03 - water pump goes out. replaced.

March 03 - heater core goes. replaced, but heat never the same again.

June 03 - drivers window sometimes works, sometimes doesn't - still not fixed, as always works when it gets to dealership.

June 03 - air conditioner not working (won't blow). Takes 3 visits to dealership to figure out there is some grounding screw loose somewhere by the floor? fixed at end of summer.

Nov 03 - internal lights no longer go on when you open any door except drivers.

Feb 04 - water pump again goes.replaced.

Sept 04 - transfer case again blows a chain through pan. replaced. Problem is this time I'm on vacation 1000 miles from home, and have to sit in a hotel in Indiana with a 1 yr old for 3 days.

You tell me... would you buy another one of these for $32,000?

I have never seen a car with more problems. I have read that the main problems I had were common for this suv (transfer case and water pump). I fear inspection time. I fear keeping it past the extended warranty. I'd sell it, but 3yrs later and I still owe more on it that they want to buy it back for.
