2001 Dodge Durango SLT Plus 4x4 review from North America
"A pleasing SUV and a decent buy when you compare with equal competition"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 3000 miles a small paint flaking was noticed under the passenger side front wheel flare. I dropped the car off at the Dodge service department had the wheel flare repainted in one day. No further paint issues other than stone chips in the front bumper.
Around the same mileage, slight rust was noticed around the front windows, but it is not from the door frame, just the window's metal retaining clips. The rust is barely noticeable. I scrape it away (from view every so often).
The interior plastic in the cargo area can be easily scraped by transporting large items that aren't secured, but that's why I bought it! I secure cargop now and have no further issues.
General comments?
I have NOT experienced any engine, transmission, seat/window motor, alarm, or other functional problems and am quite pleased with the vehicle.
I am curious to know which specific engines and transmissions have had difficulties and if it is limited to a specific model year (s).
