Oh no! I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems with your
Dodge Durango
. A smell like rotting eggs or sulfur is one of the signs that there might be a problem with your Durango’s catalytic converter. Here are some other indicators to watch out for:
  • Sluggish engine performance
  • Reduced acceleration
  • Dark exhaust smoke
  • Excessive heat under the car
If you notice any of these signs, you need to have a mechanic check your car. While the likely culprit is your catalytic converter, you might have issues somewhere else in the exhaust system, so a professional diagnosis is important.
If you need to have your exhaust system repaired, you can save some money by getting quotes from several repair shops.
