So After I'm done with this Durango I am never buying another american vehicle again. After I got into imports, I swore I never would and I bought this Durango anyways to tow the Integra around and for a good daily driver/snow vehicle. It was fine for the first 5 months and recently started acting up bad.
First, the rear end blew out while on the interstate doing 80. That also took out the transmission. Trans was replaced and dif was rebuilt with all new parts.
That transmission never worked right and didn't like shifting past 2nd gear. Was replaced AGAIN a few days later.
Picked up the vehicle and the rear end started grinding like a bastard after approx. 200 miles with ALL NEW internals. Case was filled with metal shavings That was also repaired AGAIN.
It is now approx. 1300 miles later and now the transmission pump is going out. Back in the shop AGAIN.
Hopefully trans #3 works like it should. If not, I'm calling a scrap yard and telling them to come get this POS.
This has been apporx. $6500 out of pocket for repairs and rental cars over the past 2 months. I was hoping to put that money into the teggy and get that project started but this is setting me back drastically.
I will never buy another Dodge truck after this. These are common issues and Dodge will not accept that they are poorly designed and issue a recall.
Just wanted to get that rant over with. It's been bugging me lately.
