1999 Dodge Durango SLT Plus review from North America

Since I've had the car, it has only been normal wear and tear.

I had to replace the 4x4 switch at about 132,000 miles, so that when I switched into four wheel drive, the light would illuminate on the dashboard; only cost $50.

I also had to replace the battery and alternator at about 135,000 miles.

Then it needed a full tune-up at about 142,000 miles; once again wear and tear.

At 147,000 miles I had to have the turn signal switch replaced, which was about $250.

Then at about 148,000 miles, I had to replace the heater core; the most expensive repair costing $900.

All the repairs I've made have been normal for a car that is almost 10 years old, and has that many miles. Other than that, only regular services.

Overall I am very happy with this car. Living in an area with rough winter weather, the four wheel drive is very nice to have.

I have been putting synthetic oil in the vehicle, which is supposed to prolong engine life, and it has made the car run really well.

The only thing I notice is now that it has 152,000 miles on it, the car is seeming tired and does not have the horsepower it once had.

I am not afraid to drive the truck long distances and it has never left me stranded.

I would love for it to get a little better gas mileage; I usually average about 13 MPG, and I'm a college student.
