2000 Dodge Durango Sport review from North America
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 5 years and 325,000 Kms I really can't complain. Here's a list of problems I've had, mostly due to wear and tear:
- ABS Sensor (Replaced Under warranty)
- Front Brakes (Pads wore out after 250,000 Kms)
- Clutch Fan fell off (apparently I'm the only guy in Canada that had this problem?)
- A/C Compressor ceased and caused fan belt to snap. Occurred after 300,000Km.
- Radiator and Water Pump shot. Occurred after 310,000 Kms. I attribute this to wear and tear.
General comments?
Overall, I've been very happy with this vehicle. It's a tank in the winter, has never let me down. The 4WD is great.
The engine is running well and still doesn't burn any oil. I have religiously changed the oil, tranny fluid.
It is hard on gas and that's the only reason I'm considering a trade to a more fuel efficient vehicle. I will miss it once it's gone though.
