I bought my truck used and had them do a complete work up on it when i purchased it. everything was fine for 1 week. after that week my engine light came on. i took it back to the dealer and had them replace the canister because that's what they said was the problem. 1 week later it returned. i have had it cleared out about 100 times. it now keeps telling me i have a gas leak. my mechanic has looked at this truck more than the average time. now i am at 130,000 miles and my suspension is completely shot, power steering pump, automatic locks are slowly malfunctioning (they make a loud noise on 2 of the doors), and the drivers side window doesn't roll down. *jb | |||

The 2000 dodge durango driver's and passenger mirrors are so big and extend up so much that they will cause a crash or injury. every time i turn to the left of the driver side. the mirror is blocking the view and you will not be able to see the car to left of the driver. this is a manufacturers defect that in the works man design that i would like it to be replaced. i do not know if this is the 1st incident reported from dodge durango's owners. dt | |||

I have noticed a problem with dodge durango and full-sized dodge pickups. the size and placement of the exterior rear-view mirrors creates a huge blind spot for smaller drivers! taller men who would typically chose this vehicle may not realize that their smaller spouse or kids would not be able to see. the width of the door frame also compounds the problem. we just investigated another right-angle crash with this problem. the female driver, about my height (5'4), did not see the approaching vehicle and pulled into its path. i know of at least 2 others recently. when my husband and i purchased a pickup 4 years ago, i vetoed his choice of the dodge because of the visibility problem. a co-worker has noted the problem in her husband's truck. we do not have this problem on our gmc pickup, as the mirrors are placed lower. dodge has them directly in the sight line, especially when checking traffic to the right. while this may not be a recall issue, study and publicity about this issue should be done soon. thanks. | |||
