2000 Dodge Durango SLT review from North America
"I'm buying another one!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I own a 2000 Durango and am getting ready to buy my second; a 2003. I love everything about them (power, ride, room, comfort, stability,). But before I bought my first I checked all the auto review sites to see what people had to say about them, almost all the complaints I have read have something to do with the ball joints so with a quick Google search I found out that 2000-2003.5 ball joint have been recalled, I don’t know if people are paying little shops to fix their ball joint problem and paying for it or taking them to the dealer for the recall. I figured I would write this reply just so people know if they do have a problem with there ball joints or do not want to buy a Durango because of this problem, it is a manufacturer recall that will be fixed for free here is just one link I found that will explain it better than I can http://www.off-road.com/dodge/news/2005_01/recall.htmlb please don’t let this problem be the deciding factor in buying this vehicle, like any major purchase do your own research, but as far as I am concerned they are an awesome overall SUV the only gripe I have is the gas mileage, but they aren’t much different than any other 4x4 I have researched.
