I got screwed by the dealership... The sold me a demo saying they were going to discount it $2k and then they secretly added it back in and smooth-talked me into believing they were honest until I went home and double checked the math. But this car has been reliable as hell even though it has been a gas hog. I blame the dealership and Dodge Headquarters for not responding to my complaint... but the vehicle itself is not to blame.

Our 2003 gave great service! It finally had a serious engine problem (needs a valve job), but only after 360,593 miles!!!

My First- And Last- Chrysler Product

I bought one of these in 2011 with 121,000 on it. For the most part, it was great...except for the leaking coolant. That was coming from a crack in the overflow reservoir, but it just so happened to mask a blown head gasket that- literally- blew up the engine. Still to this day, it's the only vehicle out of around 18 total that ever failed on me catastrophically, not counting classic Beetles.

It's a v8 so it does burn gas. But I would never give it up if I had descent income to support the gas and up keep! It needs a oil change an the front end needs aligned, and it needs a battery from where Iv had it parked for the past 6mo. It has heated seats!

Was concerned about buying a Dodge had heard there were quality issues. However found a great dealer, Oursiman Dodge in Alexandra, VA. Have now bought my second Durango, first one was a 2000. Have not had one problem with either one. My only complaint is the head room with the rear air. But I see they fixed it in 2004, guess I'll have to buy a new one.
