2000 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"Overpriced for the quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ring and pinion gear had to be replaced at 41,000 miles. One of the rear passenger windows has been repaired four times; twice the governor was replaced. The window is still not working properly. The window is having more difficulty in rolling up/closing than ever before. At 25k miles the truck had to be towed because the Air Bag light came on a day after I starting hearing a sound from within the steering wheel/column (sounded like sand in a bean bag.)
General comments?
Several mechanics I spoke with before having the ring and pinion gear replaced said that the gear typically does not need replacing before reaching the 100k mile mark. They also were surprised to find that this truck has never been used to pull anything.
