  • Learning Experience - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I bought the Durango because it had 7 passenger seating and was NOT a mini- van. I wanted the security of 4x4 since we have ice & snow 9 mo out of the year. Turns out the Durango is quite squirly on the ice, the rear end swings out, and it comes standard with 4 ply tires which are no good in rural areas or mixed dirt & pavement. Lots of flats. Oh and no anti-lock braking if the 4x4 is engaged.

  • BEEN HAPPY SO FAR!! - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Bought used with 27K on it, now have 57K. Drivers window motor replaced, pinging (as others described) is obvious with mine too. Now have ABS light on?? Overall, Im happy with the truck 11MPG (5.2L) all South Florida city driving. Im just ready for something bigger, too bad Dodge doesnt make anything, their loss.

  • First New Dodge - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Purchased new (1999), delivery was excellent. Would have appreciated knowing that front wheel ABS is an option. Didnt really need 5.9L but has been a blast to drive, but not fillup! Biggest complaint has been the replacement of two of the four electric door lock motors (two months outside of warranty). Really liked the cargo capacity and the flexible seating arrangement (3 kids & own business).

    Has performed very well. Only problem has been the tailgate not locking with key lock. Fixed under warranty. Use it to tow, has ample power.

  • Not Bad - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    It is my second Dodge. First was the Colt, and I swore not to buy another Dodge after having it. But never say never... So I bought Durango in 99. Because it was the best for the price (3 row seats for around $30,000). Drive was fun, too. Well, 4 years and 96,000 miles later it still is. Yes, there is a slight problem with driver side window (intermitten). It was a problem with driver side lock (fixed). Oh, forgot to mention - I bought an extended warranty, so it was fixed under it. The pinging noice is because of the gas. I pull 92 now - no noice :). Mileage is a problem. I can get 15-16 MPG in city/highway, but I kind of expected that.

    I have owned my car for 4 years with no major problems and have loved every minute driving it

  • Whats the problem? - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Bought 2 identical Durangoes for my company at the same time. Weve had some problems, but all were relatively minor. I believe Dodge suffers from a bad reputation and this is reflected in some of the reviews. My fathers 2 new Chevy Pups had their transmissions replaced- one of them twice. My wifes Infiniti needed a transmission at 15k. But whod call a Chevy or an Infinit a piece of junk? As for gas mileage, yeah, I think its a little low but Ive got the 5.9 and Ive still gotten as much as 17.9 on the highway. Ive crossed the Continental Divide in my Durango and I was passing every car I had the chance to. How many other vehicles thatll haul 7 people can do that?

  • Fit the bill - and delivered - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I got what I expected. Purchased new off the lot. Needed 7 seatbelts. Only thing to go wrong in 4 years was the battery. Dealer arranged pickyup, replacement, and return. Bought for 31K, sold for 18K (held for just over 4 years).

  • So Far So Good - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I have recently purchased a 1999 Durango with 20000, great so far. I have had nothing but GREAT things to say about it so far but the mileage is low and so far so good. I find the vehicle to be comfortable, and a please to drive in the SNOW. Looking forward to making some improvement to extend gas mileage.
