How leary would you be buying a used Durango that was in a accident.

Frankly I would be scared of buying ANY Durango. They have absolutely horrible reliability records and their value plummets like no other SUV on earth.

I know a few people that have had them and they were constant trouble. I would leery.

Sounds like a soccer mom backed into another car while backing out of a parking space in a crowded parking lot.

Are you referring to me?


I would stay clear of a Durango like the other 2 said.

I WOULD ABSOLUTLY NEVER EVER BUY A REPAIRED VEHICLE. But thats just me, If I ever had a bit of a wreck with any one of my new vehicles and it was repaired under insurance, I would have it sold before it came out of the repair shop! Nothing is ever the same afterwards!

I see em at auction and they go CHEAP! The only actual experience I have with them is a neighbor on the corner near me who owned one for about 2 years. He had nothing but hell with it and finally traded it off on a Chevy Tahoe.

The 4.7 is an engine to be scared of. It (like the 2.7 and 3.7) is a time bomb. The ultra thin cylinder walls in it overheat, cook oil, and deform and fail with great regularity. Frankly, the online reviews of a Durango would be enough to scare me off of one.

I'd stay away.

I liked the original Durango the best, but it had its fair share of problems (mostly front-suspension). All the Durango's suck for gas mileage. I just haven't been very impressed with them after the original. This particular style just looks too much like a mini van that basically has a lift and 4wd.


Oh, and as with any other Chrysler product, the trans will go....early.

I use Edmunds to check out Vehicles I'm interested in, New or Used. The owner reviews are very informative.

I must add, I haven't heard a lot of good things about Durangos. Hopefully the 2011's are greatly improved. They sure look better

The new one they are coming out with is getting good reviews in the press.
