The Indiana State Police has experienced multiple oil cooler failures with its recently-ordered Dodge Durango Pursuits.
The Dodge Durango has scored reasonably well in predicted reliability ratings in recent years, but the Indiana State Police aren?t having much luck with their fleet of the SUVs. The law enforcement organization said it had experienced an almost 20 percent failure rate with its 219 Durangos, noting that the problems could cost taxpayers almost $4 million and cause weeks of downtime for some vehicles.
?ISP has used Dodge as our primary police vehicle provider for the last decade and a half; it is unfortunate that we have found ourselves in this precarious position. We?re having to sideline brand new vehicles, losing out on their value and functionality. The citizens and taxpayers of Indiana are being shortchanged and deserve better.? Officials stated that the oil cooler issue can cause oil to leak into the coolant system, causing the engine to shut off.
