  • Never again a Dodge!!! - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    At first, I fell in love with my Durango. Its power, stylish looks, big tires, good handling were all fun until: The rear tailgate latch broke, a psngr. door wouldnt unlock (no fix), a loud chirping from the rear couldnt be fixed, the a/c stopped working from some electrical problem (they managed to fix this 1), then the engine stalled on several occasions and the dealer (after having my Durango for 3 wks) couldnt fix this 1! This almost got me and a dealership mechanic in a few accidents! I traded it in ASAP. I should also mention that the dealership where I bought the Durango treated me like I was some kind of criminal. Never again will I buy a Dodge!

    Bought the suv on lease purchase plan and decided to keep it based on vehicle performance. Intake gasket replacement is the only issue that we have had and has over 40,000 mile on vehicle. Dont care for the gas mileage, but it WILL pull a load. Inside in comfortable, with plenty of room. Been a good family vehicle.

  • Best SUV - 1999 Dodge Durango

    I bought my Durango over five years ago and have had no problems. I service it every 3000 miles with AMSOIL. Ive put this vehicle to the test from day to day in town driving to serious off road mountain adventure.

  • Fun to Drive SUV - 1999 Dodge Durango

    I purchased my 1999 SLT Durango used with 46K miles. I now have 61k and the car has been flawless. I love the 5.9L V8 engine for get up and go. I like the size of this SUV, not too big and not to small. I love the way the Durango handles on the road and around town. The gas mileage is reasonable, about the same as my last SUV 15 miles per gallon average for city and highway combined. The Durango is one of the best used car values because they can be purchased for a reasonable cost.

    The Durangos are very affordable when shopping for SUVs. Ive had no major problems with it at all, only scheduled maintenance upkeep. The 5.9 liter motor is great scaling through mountains with lots of power to spare and fuel economy is reasonable

  • Frustrating vehicle - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    Bought the Durango for its looks, interior room, and power for towing my boat. Did not count on spending lots of money on repairs which still have not been solved. I have owned this vehicle for 10 months and have had to fix or repair the a/c, rear passenger window, clean fuel injectors and throttle body, tune up, rebuild the tranny, and the still unresolved surge in power when at cruising speed. Very frustrating. Two different dealerships on three different visits have not been able solve this problem. Cannot wait to get rid of this yehicle!

  • Maintenence Woes - 1999 Dodge Durango
    By -

    I adored my Durango and stood my ground when my father tried to tell me it was poorly built. I have seen the light, Dad is ALWAYS right! It is 5 years old now(and I am still paying payments!), and goes in the shop an average of once a month. If I get it out for less than $500, I am delighted. I replaced the transfer case($3000), speed sensors(3X $300), power window motors, water pump, radiator thermostat, etc, not to mention the typical expected things. Have I mentioned I am on my 4th serpentine belt? I was told they should last 3 years! I think the mechanic has the truck more than I do Anyway, they look good, but Ill never buy another one!

    Had my Durango for over 5 years. I have it serviced every 3 to 4 thousand miles and it hasnt had any mechnical problems.I have had several rear bumper fender benders with no damage being done to my Durango.We drive the family to the mountains at least twice a month it is one of the most comfortable rides Ive experienced.I like sitting up high and feel very safe. Ill keep it until it until it gives me its last mile.

    This is my second Durango. My first was a 2000 model year. Had to get rid of it. Tried other SUVs. Not the same. Only complaint I have is that air conditioning does not work. Always spending money on the A/C. Kids love it too!

    I love the roomy interior, the comfort and the drive. I have had only 1 problem and that being using a automactic car wash the water gets in the distibutor and the car has to dry out a few minutes before starting.
