2000 Dodge Durango Sport review from North America
"Do not buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oil pressure in our 2000 Dodge Durango dropped to 0. Luckily we were within a few blocks of our service man. We dropped the car off for 1 days - we've just been informed that to to "oil sludge" in the engine, the car is undrivable with unrepairable damage to the engine. The engine will need to be replaced. $6,000! The car has 27,000 miles on it and we still owe $20,000! I called Auto west Dodge in fermont, ca to ask if they had heard of any similar problems and was told "no, never." I then started looking on line and have found numerous examples of the same problem.
