2000 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"This is a costly mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gear has been changing from Drive into 2nd since we bought the vehicle.
The transmission started slipping at 40,000 miles. At 50,000 miles we have to replace the transmission. The warranty is 36,000 miles for a brand new factory transmission and the warranty is 70,000 miles for a rebuilt transmission. Somebody knows that there is a problem.
The engine started making knocking noises at 30,000 miles, but when we took it back to the dealer they said that nothing was wrong. The dealer also said that they did not hear any noises.
General comments?
There is a lot of room in the vehicle, the third seat makes it an attractive choice.
Not worth the money.
There should be something done about the transmission, since it is such a common problem.
