1999 Dodge Durango SLT 2wd review from North America

O2 sensors (15,000 miles and 38,000 miles), differential (45,000 miles), ABS sensors (all the time), transmission governor (64,000 miles), transmission (67,250) and kept leaking and burning oil all the time (all seals replaced only to see the problem return)

Bought the car brand new September 1999. This car was a great vehicle when it was new. It had the most powerful engine I have ever felt in a modern truck (execpt a turbo diesel). But after a few problems the first three years the I woke up one day and the car felt like it was 20 years old. The differential just went out for no reason and all the exterior and interior parts started falling apart over the next few months. Then the tranny stopped shifting and only would shift when it red-lined and by the time it got in the shop it wouldn't up shift at all. Dealer fixed it, but like the differential the car was out of warranty leaving a huge bill. Never got totally fixed and tranny blew. Got rid of it and trade in was only $2,500 ($35,000 new). Terrible gas mileage too (12-15 MPG). This truck brings a bad name to American Trucks and SUV's and I hope Chrysler continues to fail in it's sales. They should consider the customer for once. Also Chrysler should not trust the Germans to restructure their company!
