2000 Dodge Durango R/T review from North America
"A well priced bargain 'till it breaks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overall poor fuel economy.
Tonight coming home from dinner, It missed the 1-2 shift, banging into the red line 3 times before shifting into 2nd gear. Wife complains that the transmission "feels" like it is slipping. This is going to the dealership as soon as possible. Seems like all those rumors of piss poor transmissions are true.
I might as well drive a motor home for the gas mileage I get. I know it has the performance axle ratio, and all wheel drive. But really, my "hot rod" in high school ran 12's in the quarter and got better economy then this. What a piece. Last Sport Ute I EVER buy.
General comments?
Dodge. Seems like a good deal till you own one.
