1999 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"Giant waste of money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I used to be somewhat pleased with my Durango. However, I just had the engine blow on me. The dealer has told me that I did not take care and maintain my truck. That's a load of crap, I had the oil and filter changed every 3-6,000 miles.
I was told that they found sludge in the engine and that the only way that happens is if I didn't change the oil and filter. I have found others on the Internet with the same issue. There is a class action lawsuit regarding this issue.
General comments?
Do not buy this vehicle, unless you want to buy another engine for it. Chrysler is not warrantying this vehicle for a blown engine!!!
