1999 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"A 30-40,000 dollar rip-off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine had to be replaced with 56,000 miles on the car due to "sludge" in the engine. New (re-manned) engine has less than 15,000 miles on it and I am told it has "sludge" in it.
General comments?
All 1998, 1999, and 2000 Durangos need to be recalled and Chrysler needs to step up and help the folks out who had faith in their product.
