1999 Dodge Durango consumer reviews

This SUV is a low grade production of Dodge. There are numerous problems that come attached to this vehicle from mechanical to electrical. I avoid buying this vehicle and have purchased only 2 in the past 8 years that were in exceptionl condition and had less than 100K and still sold for less than 4000. At 164K this SUV has about reached its' lifetime. Do not be fooled by off focus picture with glare from the sun and foo foo rims that you can buy at a flea market for 400.

Bought used 7 months ago and haven't regretted it at all. Had 142K miles on it at the time. Since then I had to replace the water pump due to bearings going out, but that's the only problem. The vehicle was obviously well maintained by the original owner. The 5.2l engine provides good power. Changed to a K&N air cleaner and it boosted the hp. Gets poor gas mileage, but you can increase it some by being careful starting - keep it under 2500 rpm while accelerating. Very roomy and comfortable.

I bought this brand new in 1999 & have put over 115K on it. I had only needed to do standard maintenance until this year when I had to replace the freeze plugs. Its not the best on gas but it has hauled everything / everyone I've needed it to. It has held up better than most Chevy & Ford SUVs. I intend to drive it until the wheels fall off!!

Purchased this used a few months ago. Got a great deal so didn't really expect much. Ran a CARFAX Report and it checked out clean. Although a gas hog, it sure is fun. It has the 5.2l (318 cu in) engine which moves it along good enough. Options included rear AC which helps cool it off quickly on hot Texas days. All in all a good vehicle. I love it.

I bought a Durango in good old Michigan about a year ago. I LOVE it! My only beef is that it is a gas destroyer! We get snow in MI so the gas is kind of worth the drive ability it has. It handles the roads NICE. It doesn't like to shift into overdrive either unless I let it warm up a bit. When the temp. is below zero I can't be too upset though.

We replaced the computer, The head gasket, tail light, fuses, foglights, timing belts, water pump, and lots of antifreeze. It has been one thing after another and we haven't even had it a whole year yet. After doing further research we found out this was without exception the worst model year for most Dodge vehicles. The repair cost have almost totaled this SUV... We live on an incline and we were experiencing runability issues, but after we started parking it nose up they disappeared. I looked online and many people have tried to get Dodge to recall our brand of SUVs but Dodge insists there is nothing wrong with them.

I found a 1999 Durango SLT, 37K, for $9K...CLEAN inside & out. I had to see and drive it, purchased it, so far excellent. PLENTY of cargo and passenger space (front and rear). Not bad on fuel for a 318 V8.

I had this vehicle and loved it. I will own one again I guarantee it. The most comfortable vacation vehicle Ive ever owned!!
