The only thing that has gone wrong with our Durango is we have had multiple problems with the windows. Three out of our four windows have not worked in the past, requiring a window motor replacement. That has been a real headache, especially when the driver side front window stopped working. Other than that... no problems.
We LOVE our Durango. You cannot beat the look and style. It's a vehicle that makes people take a second glance. The V8 engine never hesitates. It does all I ask of it... which is a lot :). You can't beat the sound system and the leather is exceptional. It is truly the best vehicle I have ever owned. Our lease is up this month and we are getting a brand new one.
You've been fortunate. We bought a new Durango in 1999 for $30,000. The oil and oil filters were changed every 3,000-4000 miles and we thought we could drive it for at least ten years.
We had no major problems, just a power window motor replacement.
At 69,000 miles the engine failed on I-40 outside of Asheville, NC. We have a $5000 engine replacement bill. The mechanic said the engine was clean and saw no reason for the failure.
We have bought two Chrysler products in the last five years-the Durango and a PT Cruiser, but there will never be another Chrysler product bought by our family.
I have had my durango for almost 2 years, and its been great, the only thing I have had to do is breaks, and now it needs new shocks, it as 110,000 kl on it.
