I own a 2004 Dodge Durango..bought it new and it's still going strong. I've never had any problems with it.! And I mean NEVER. It has always started in any kind of weather and is the BEST vehicle I have ever driven. It is reliable, dependable, great on winding country roads, it really has had no start up issues of any kind. I've never had to replace one thing on it since day one. I have 76,000 miles on it and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It still drives like new and other people who ride in it with me are really impressed with the ride. Lots of space, the radio sounds great and I've even towed a FEMA trailer behind it, around 8500 lbs. with ease up mountainous roads in Texas. The gas mileage is actually better NOW than when it was new!! I get about 16 miles to the gallon in the city. Cruise control works fantastic and it is truly a joy to drive.

Just purchased a used 04 Durango SLT Hemi. No problems so far. Just lousy mileage. I am covered for 3yrs/36,000 miles - just pray with me that I will get from under this one in one piece. These comments are very disheartening. Wish I would have read them before I signed on the dotted line. I hope and pray Chrysler will do what is right for all of us when and if we have mechanical problems.
