Dodge Durango 2008 Overview
The latest Durango has been redesigned, mostly with a minor facelift, and it appears to be a well-built light duty 4WD capable of transporting seven people almost anywhere in very comfortable surroundings, even though it is ultimately one of the ugliest vehicles on the road. The only engine option available here is the 5.7-litre, Hemi V8, which helps the two-and-a-half ton Durango move off with reasonable verve. It's interior design conserves space, which permits a 3rd row of relatively accessible seating. It is obvious that parent company Mercedes-Benz has had an influence on the lowly Dodge. The seams are tight and the materials are of a high quality. The ergonomics work well too, with all the minor luxuries, including a good sound system and a rear seat DVD-entertainment system. Excellent sound insulation means passengers aren't too distracted by road or wind noise, while the third row folds flat into the floor and the 2nd row folds up and out of way very easily. Standard features include air conditioning, power mirrors, illuminated entry lighting, front and rear power outlets, bucket seats, 40/20/40 folding second-row seat, AM/FM stereo radio with in-dash single-disc CD player, cruise control, tilting steering column, and remote keyless entry. Also available are rear climate controls, a power sunroof, AM/FM/6CD/MP3 player and a two-speed transfer case for off-roading.

Known Problems | Pre-2006 models had problems with brakes pulsating, requiring rotor and pad replacement. If vehicle has difficulty backing up on a steep hill, reprogramme the powertrain control module (PCM). Transmission may suffer delayed engagement after sitting overnight due to split in the filter in fluid cooler return line. Problems reported with power windows, cruise control, wipers, stereo and shifter locking up. Reports of ECU problems which cause car to shut down, largely in early models. |
