  I must have the exception... - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By wilddaisy - November 21 - 2:58 pm

  I bought my Durango brand new in 2000. LOVED it for the most part. Routine oil changes and maintenance, ran great. After 100k miles, replaced water pump, heater core, radiator, transmission, fuel pump, catalytic converter, and multiple sensors. In 2008 found out it had major issues with wires corroding in wiring harness (reason for blowing sensors). Spent $2500 for temp fix (permanent fix $5000 plus labor) Chrysler told me this was common in the Durango but not enough for a recall. Just changed the alternator this week and still have lots of computer issues. It only has 157k miles on it now....Am beginning to despise it. Think its time to let it die and get something new Im afraid

  worst truck I have ever owned - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By Watkins - January 3 - 3:52 pm

  This was the worst truck I ever owned. At 45000 miles the front wheel bearings went out. I called and asked about a recall, and the dealer said no recall was planned. A month later a recall was issued. At 50000 miles the transmission started to slip. At 60000 miles the water pump was toast. at 105000 the engine was gone despite oil changes every 3000 miles. After looking in the engine block there was so much sluge it looked like the oil had never been changed. Also both power window motors when at 50000 miles. If you are thinking about this car think again. I will never buy a dodge again.

  DONT BUY ONE! - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By joe - March 7 - 4:23 pm

  I bought this truck new in 2000. I had to put a new engine in at 80,000 miles and just put in a new transmission at 102,000. Now its leaking fluid...probably the radiator needs repair. Water pump also just went out... expensive, but solid truck feel. Im selling it to buy a toyota or lexus... or honda... or... anything but a DODGE!

  gotta lotta problems - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By shouldaknownbetta - July 28 - 11:28 pm

  We bought this vehicle second hand from a lot. The gas mileage, according to the upper display, is abysmal. We have had many problems with reliability. We have had the PCM, (primary control module) replaced. This was done under the factory drive train warranty. We continue to have intermittent "Check engine" lights, fluctuating tachometer readings of 1000 RPM, without actual RPM changes, and miserable gas mileage. Our local Dodge dealership is unable to determine the cause due to "no codes" being registered. While this may be a good SUV in the eyes of some, mine sucks. For the record, I bought mine in 2005 for $16,400.00, The following year, it wasnt worth $7,400.

  Disaster waiting to happen - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By Sludge Monster - December 28 - 10:57 am

  I once read a Durango review that stated, "You never forget youre driving a truck" and that is a perfect description of this SUVs ride comfort. I wanted truck-like durability so I wasnt worried about the harshness of the ride I liked the high clearance and true off-road capability of this vehicle. However, there is a huge oil-pressure issue with this engine. Dodge blames "sludge" and poor maintenance but even meticulously maintained Durangos meet the same fate. Our engine literally blew up just before 60,000 miles. Replaced the engine only to discover more issues requiring money. I loved driving this SUV but warn used car buyers to steer clear of this potential money pit.

  Sad Experience - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By Mikep - December 11 - 5:45 pm

  Weve owned the Durango for roughly 2 years and it only has 54,000 miles. Overheating is very common and now the head gaskets are blown. Itll run $1,100 to $1,600 to repair. Save some heartache and dont go Durango. However, if you enjoy sitting in the 3rd seat while it cools down, this may be the gas guzzler for you.

  No, you didnt get a bad one - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By nomore dodges - November 14 - 8:07 pm

  My 4.7 engine blew at 74,000 miles with no oil pressure. Heater core failed at 40,000 miles, cost $800 to replace. If youre thinking of buying a Durango, my advice is dont!

  Thirsty car - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By smc in Colorado - October 2 - 10:34 pm

  This car is okay, and thats about it. You dont expect an SUV to get 25 mpg, but this thing is like Dudley Moore at last call - drink, drink, drink. It doesnt "hug" the road well, and it really feels only average in the snow (part of the reason for owning an SUV). It hasnt been a horrible experience, but no way I buy it again.

  Over the top - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By ccriderwa - July 5 - 9:18 am

  97K miles and it’s yard art. After taking care of the Durango with top quality service and fluids this puppy overheated driving up the hill to my house warping both heads. Steer clear of Dodge products they are poorly built and do not stand up to real word use.

  Crappy Service + Crappy R/T= Hell - 2000 Dodge Durango
  By Ohgodjimmy - July 19 - 2:00 am

  At about 7500 miles it misses a shift at redline and the engine does the cutoff routine. I take it into Suburban Chryser (Saint Paul, MN) to be looked at "for missing a shift at redline". The dealer has it all day, puts about 150 miles on it and tells me this is normal operation. B.S. I complain to Chrysler corp. they tell me to take it to another dealer. I have never owned a car with an automatic that doesnt shift at redline. Last dodge I will ever own. Very Incompetent people at Suburban Chrysler in Saint Paul, MN
