The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

FUEL:FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY:ATTACHMENTS
|
|
Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. The fuel tank strap can separate due to fatigue during operation. If this occurs, the tank will be unsupported, increasing the risk of a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Dealers will replace the double toggle lock fuel tank straps with single toggle lock design. Note: Affected vehicles built through May 21, 1998, also require the rear brake tube inspection/repair. As a result, the fuel tank strap and brake tube repair will be performed on these vheicles in a single service procedure under recall 99V-341/DaimlerChrysler #841. Affected vehicles built from May 22, 1998 through September 25, 1999, only require the fuel tank strap repair, which will be performed under recall 99V-342/DaimlerChrysler #842.

Summary:
|
Big, bold and just right.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
Add this Dodge to your sport-utility shopping list. The Dodge Durango offers more room and better performance than the Ford Explorer and other so-called compact sport-utilities. It also compares favorably to the full-size Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon.While it may compare with other SUVs, it certainly doesn't look like them. Dodge Durango makes a statement. We think it's a bold, attractive statement. We think Dodge succeeded at its goal of producing a smarter SUV. The Durango is intelligently designed and easy to operate. And it's a smart choice for people who want to step out from the crowd. |
|
Overview:
|
We could not have attracted more attention if we'd been in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz. The well-dressed group was shivering in the damp Washington weather, waiting at the valet booth after seeing a musical at the Kennedy Center. BMWs, Audis, Grand Cherokees and other fine cars attracted nary a glance as they were delivered to their owners. Then the valet rolled forward in our freshly washed flame red Dodge Durango. Its big Ram grille and broad Freightliner fenders loomed out of the darkness and into the flood lights accompanied by the burbling V8. We had to smile at the soft "wows" and "ohs" from the upscale crowd as we tipped the attendant, climbed in and drove away. With its big-rig look, the Durango always looks ready, whether it's heading down a primitive road or parked at the shopping center. Based on the Dodge Dakota pickup, the Durango is bigger than the Ford Explorer, but not as big as the Ford Expedition or Chevy Tahoe. So if you're like Goldilocks, then you might find the Durango just right.
