2000 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"At this point, I'm still happy with my Durango"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 19000 miles the Air Bag warning light came on. Dealer replace the Clock Spring.
At 21000 miles the rear end started making a noise when you made a right or left turn. Dealer serviced the rear end (Changed oil in the Diferential) and noise stopped. I feel they did more, but didn't want to tell me.
At 23500 the Air Bag warning light problem came back. This time the change the Clock Spring again, Sensor and finally the Air Bag computer. They had the car four days. Problem seems to be fixed. But I have not driven the car, but a few miles.
General comments?
The seats in my 2000 Durango are not very comfortable. I have the leather seats. The are hard on the butt.
The 5.9L engine gets an average of 16.7 highway. But I knew this before I got it.
