Great all purpose vehicle. It has four wheel drive.
The Durango has had minimal problems. The main problem was the fan went out for cooling and heating. The fan was very expensive to replace due to its position. Doing the oil changes and general maintenance keeps it running smoothly. It is comfortable and roomy for traveling with children. It is a great car for shopping and is roomy enough to carry things needed for home repairs from home depot. It sets high enough I can even do some minor off-road when necessary to get where I am going.

Its safe for your children.
No major problems, runs great windshield is cracked that's about it. Good on gas. It is the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, alarm system automatic. Performance is great, runs well in bad weather.

They should know that these kind of vehicles are built very well
It has a lot of room and it is very reliable we have had it for several years and we have only had it in the shop a couple of times

I love my dodge durango
After 20 years still runs like new. Like the ride and comfort. I thought that my trans was dying because it lost 3rd and 4th gear, but thproblem was input or output transmission preassure switches valued $20 plus $50 an installation. Mexhanics suggested a new transmission but I investigated the problem myself on dodge forums.
accountCircle Julia B
The most important thing that others should know about my car is that it is rather fuel efficient for its size.
My vehicle runs really well. I like that has 4 wheel drive. I don't like that it does not have a radio antenna. I also don't like that it does not have ac.
accountCircle Spring S
It has extended cab for more passengers than other trucks
I love my truck it gets from a to b. It is red extended cab so it has plenty of room for other passengers. It is a gas hog

Avoid Chrysler: Electrical problems.
Electrical issues. One brake light works when it wants too. Electric lock switch works intermittently. Have to hit the door panel for window motors to work. Must kick the inside of the floor panel in order for headlights to work correctly. Not all locks unlock.
accountCircle Nancy H
It runs, shifts smoothly, not difficult to drive for a 5-speed.
Loud pipes, mechanical issues, busted windshield, needs a paint job. That is why I hate my truck, oh, and did I mention, it is taxi cab yellow,
accountCircle Sandy H
It's really old but it gets the job done! The third row of seating is something that we really need.
We have a very old vehicle. It is starting to break down and costing more to maintain and keep running. But it does the job and I love not having a car payment every month. Nonetheless I am looking forward to getting a newer vehicle soon.

Unsatisfied
It rides it rides comfortable and is great for family but I have had this vehicle for 16 years and have had a lot of problem with the heating and cooling and the front driver side door just ridiculous and also at 69000 miles had to have the head gasket fixed even though I told the dealer that it was having issues they would continue to say that there was nothing wrong I think that they did not want to fix the problem while under the warranty I bought it at 32,000 miles and 2 years old paid $24,900 in 2002
accountCircle Sarah B
That it's sometimes will randomly shut off while driving.
Love the fold down seats and the tow package. Love the fact it's an USA made. I do wish it had more air vents and maybe the back windows rolled down.
accountCircle Joe W
Its very spacious. Very comfortable to ride in short and longer distances.
It doesn't handle well in the winter time. Has issues with shifting in the cold weather. The resale value is also very low.
accountCircle Destiny c
I think they should invest in a newer car.
It's very outdated. The airconditioning breaks sometimes. It's also bad on gas now.
accountCircle Sharon S
Good vehicle for driving in wintry weather.
Vehicle is not economically efficient when fueling. With gas prices so high your wallet takes a large hit from the pumps. The window motor stopped working on the passenger side which is bothersome. Good vehicle for winter travels through the snow.
