well im actually suprised with my wife's 2012 durango, i thought it wouldve been a dog, but i got her going up to 110 once (which i thought the governer stopped you at 95) and besides the squeaky chairs the only problems ive had were bad ALT. and recalled brake booster. (though i will be getting an extended warranty soon)

It's only three years old, give it time, lol. They're beautiful, but I doubt I'll be buying another one.

The extended warranty isn't a bad idea on any vehicle, I worked at Carmax long enough to know that.

FordmanUGA

That's a good looking truck!

FordmanUGA

Lol, true. I wanted an Expedition EL but she wants something smaller and better gas mileage. We need something that will fit us, three kids, and a German Shepherd, and it has to be able to at least pull a pop up.

Hmmm now that is a conundrum. Does the durango do all of the above?

FordmanUGA

The one I have? Yes, it's got the 5.9 V8, has seating for 7 and fits my Shep. But it's got so many ghost issues it's going bye bye when I graduate college, lol. I love it's looks and how it drives, but all the little electrical issues and rust scare me. Long story on the rust, let's just say Dodge put clear tape in areas that water was meant to drain out of. They did it on all of that generation for shipping and the dealers would forget to take it off.

Oh wow that is actually pretty ridiculous. Take a look at the previous gen grand Cherokee. Im pretty sure they could be had with 3 rows and are a relatively good value right now.

Yeah i know, about it still being a young pup and extended warranty working at a ford dealership i've seen some expensive repairs havent to be paid competely by the customer......

FordmanUGA

Yeah I worked at Ford too, the Focus was my biggest headache. It got to where I would try not to even have a customer look at the Focus.

FordmanUGA

I'll pass on that vehicle too, those were also made by Daimler and I've heard their not like the old Grand Cherokees at all. I want a 4 door Wrangler, but the fact that Jeep is owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles kinda makes me not want one, lol.
