1999 Dodge Durango SLR review from North America
"We have mixed emotions on the car, some good some bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper and lower ball joints have failed twice.
ABS module went out.
MAP Sensor went out.
Throttle position sensor went out.
Rear wheel speed sensor went out.
Repeated check engine light goes on.
Paint peels when washed with high power washer.
Constantly pulls to the right.
Glove box latch keeps breaking.
General comments?
We love the truck, it has fantastic power and drives very well... when it is functioning correctly.
There always seems to be an array of lights on, on the dash.
A change of tires creates a disproportionate change in gas mileage.
We feel safe driving it and it is excellent on long trips, but worry about the constant mechanical failures.
