1993 Dodge Dynasty

rather disappointing

By GD (CA) on Friday, November 18, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 105,000

Pros: "comfortable"

Cons: "did not give a long, low-cost life"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 3

"This car has had transmission problems all its life, starting from nearly new. Had a total transmission re-build at 70,000 miles for $2500. The ignition switch has had to be replaced about every 20,000 miles. We had frequent expensive repairs starting with the transmission rebuild, then $600 here, $800 there, etc. Every one of the power windows needed repair, weather stripping leaks, trunk leaks (without rust), and even the dealer couldn't make the glove compartment stay closed. The speedometer works if you slap the front of it hard after you get going. The windshield wiper linkages under the dashboard are apparently about to let go, even though we don't live where there's much rain. Had problems with A/C, radiator leaks, and plenty of other things. Has 105,000 miles now and is on its way to the junk yard."

My original Dynasty

"Runs smooth, shifts smooth, rides smooth. It's not a race car, but she will do 120 easily (3.3 liter). I had to replace the headlight switch, and control arm bushings. Nice paint after 20 years."

Best new car I ever bought

By jackif on Thursday, June 09, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 116,100

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I purchased my 93 Dynasty brand new. It still gets 25mpg and I am not looking forward to selling it, but no more room in the garage for it. I felt completely safe in this car and never had any major mechanical issues with it. This is a good family car, four doors, comfy seats and a great ride."
