The vehicle would lose power because the computer was showing the engine was over heating. I can't believe the Dodge Engineers came up with this piece of crap design. I've had multiple cars with over 125K miles and never had to replace a radiator.

When we brought the Durango they told us if we had any problems they would fix it. They put on new brakes and rotors. Then the transmission was acting up, it needed a tune-up two months later but they wouldn't pay for it and we brought the Durango in July of 2007 and all of this took place within a few months of us purchasing the vehicle.
They would tell us one thing and do another one, We told them about the car overheating but they couldn't do anything about it. We took it to the Dodge dealer and they couldn't find the problem. So we are stuck with a lemon that know one can't seem to fix the problem or isn't sure on how to solve the problem. I just want them to take the Durango back and give us another car of our choice. They also said within the first six months we can come back and trade the vehicle in for another one, we went back about 9 months later and they said it would have to be 18 months. So i am not happy with purchasing a car from Drive Time they are a bunch of liars and aren't trust worthy.
Thank you

vehicle began overheating and leaking coolant. in one week, changed thermostat, relays, water pump, fan clutch, and radiator. leaking coolant stopped, overheating continued. check engine light came on. car is with dealer now who says the computer gave codes PO116 and PO300. vehicle needs head cylinder changed. this vehicle looks good from far but is far from good.
