Dodge Durango Reviews

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi, and I love it, it's got 215,000 miles on it, some minor things to fix but engine sounds great.

I have owned Dodge for at least 15 years and bought a new 2024 Durango RT Tow & Go in 2024. At 20k miles both my front control arms went bad, caused my alignment to go out and ruined both front tires. Dodge warranty covered everything but the tires, which they said would not be covered. I understand that the original warranty doesn't cover tires but if your default part caused the damage, then you should. That is standing behind your product and good customer service!

Worst purchase I have ever made. I currently own 2008 Honda, 2002 Lexus GS430, 1994 GMC Sierra and none of these cars have given me as many issues as the 2017 Durango. Purchased vehicle at 10k miles by 70k replaced motor, AC went out, Door Hinges, Auto Start gave out, parking sensor, Radiator, Ac Condenser. The list is endless.

I own 2019 Durango gt bought new. Now 2025 with with only 66201 km nothing but trouble, actually line leak was not cover under warranty because of the location. No now cylinder miss firing. I own couple American cars nothing but headache. My Toyota with 200 plus just regular maintenance and still running nice and strong.

I purchased my brand new 2024 Dodge Durango in late July 2024 from Spitzer Dodge in Mansfield. I saw the vehicle online and called them as soon as they opened to let them know I wanted the vehicle and gave them the details for my bank approval. Within an hour they called back telling me someone else was interested in the vehicle and if I wanted it I would have to get it that day and not the next day like originally planned. This should have been a red flag but I went over right away anyway. When I arrived at Spitzer Dodge I met with finance and we began signing papers. At this time I had still not physically seen the vehicle because it was being ‘cleaned up.” As we were almost done signing papers, I was given one that I needed to sign because the vehicle had a window damaged and I would need to bring it back to the dealership to have it replaced (ding one on my CarFax). I finished signing papers and hopped in the car and left.

We will not recommend this company to anyone again. You don't stand by your product. We have a 2021 Durango with less than 100,000 miles that is misfiring! We get the runaround and no answers all while we continue to make the payments! TWO vehicles purchased by us, both Dodges, both have had major issues we have had to pay fix!!! THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AND NOT ONE ANSWER OR HELP!!!

I have had the worst luck purchasing Durango 2022 RT blacktop under my company limitless cleaning from Okeechobee Dodge dealership my own finacing. Number 1 day one since I drove it off the lot the Uconnect issue with radio service at dealer, they won’t fix it. I’ve tried numerous times, every time I drive by a government building or Dodge dealership the whole radio cuts out completely. It’s annoying then you have to reset it for it to connect. The updates don’t work. Chrysler won’t replace the antenna as needed. Second fuel pump went bad causing it not to not start up on initial start. Next subwoofers randomly cut out next famous Hemi tick lifter failure, had to get a whole new engine block!

The most dangerous vehicle on the market has stalled out on me on the freeway causing an accident from behind. I replaced alternator starter engine fuel pump tipm and now down to the pcm that caused all the damage of 12,500. I still owe money on it. Dodge won’t take accountability or help me because I am not the original owner.

Transmission problem 3 states away from home. Dodge customer service told me to rent a car and drop mine at dealer. I would get $40 per day. Now they are refusing. Car is back in for Trans again. I'm out $500 and still no car.

Have a 2020 Durango with extended warranty. Vehicle began to overheat. Vehicle has been in the Chrysler service department since 07 February 2022. The manager continues to push the expected completion date and has not given us confidence they know what they are doing. We have received excuses in the form of texts that they have ordered the wrong parts, Chrysler changed the hose design, and now they are having problems getting things back together. Tomorrow will be 30 continuous days for the same problem that we have been without our 2020 vehicle while making payments. At this point it becoming an issue and we are feeling we are being messed with or something else may be wrong that we are not being told of.

The 2021 Dodge Durango fresh has basically addressed all minor complaints I had. The interior is up there with the most competitive in the segment, LED headlights, revised suspension, 10" UConnect 5, and more. Combined with the R/T, SRT, and HC in particular, this is one well-rounded SUV that is able to check a lot of important boxes. Everything from performance to practical utility. It has 3 rows, lots of interior room, good reliability, and is easier to maneuver than a full-size SUV. Opt for one of the V8 engines and you can have all of the performance you could ever want.

The Dodge Durango is a great SUV at 3 rows, 7 passengers with a Hemi and AWD. Its capabilities are second to none. First off this suv drives like a car, it's roomy, comfortable and has plenty of power on demand. The 8.4 Uconnect is a touchscreen full of options including navigation, apps, Sirius XM, heated/ vented seat controls (available models). Durango comes in 3 trims SXT, RT and SRT with 3 years 36 thousand miles bumper to bumper, 60 thousand powertrain. Can two up to 8 thousand pounds with a Hemi V8 with 380 horsepower and 360 pounds of towing capability. In conclusion I would highly recommend Dodge Durango for anyone in need of a good suv or someone who has kids.

I have a Durango. It is a very cool car, easy to maneuver for a SUV, gas actually is great! Also they come with a factory warranty. They fixed any issue, even if the tail light burned out! Great powerful engine!

I bought a 2012 Dodge Durango in 2014 with with 77,000 miles on it and ever since then it's been nothing but issues. In 3 years of owning it I put over 6,000 dollars into it just to keep it running. I replaced Cylinders 3 times at 1,500 a fix. I replaced wiring harness 1 time at 4,200 fix. I replaced batter 1 time at 250.00 fix. I replaced alternator at 450.00 fix and now the cylinder has went out again so I decided get me a new vehicle instead and the really sad part is I would have owned it in 21 months. DON'T EVER BUY DODGE!!!

Rust has been developing on the bolts and hinges of interior doors for over a year on my 2015 Dodge Durango. The dealer attempted to change them out (one side) and they started to rust within 7 months of the change. I refused to have them change out the rest of the original bolts that of course are continuing to degrade. The service manager supposedly sent the pictures to Dodge corporation months ago but found out later that he never sent them until just recently because I called and filed a claim. Now the Factory Resource Department has denied the claim and will not repair nor will they send me a letter of the denial claim.

I've been driving a Durango since they were called the Ram Charger (with the big 8) back in the late 90's. 3 years ago I bought a used 2011 Durango Crew with the 6 cy. Leather heated seats, moonroof, had around 30k miles. Now it has 80k & so far so good. Had a few recalls...the remote start needed some work. My 2007 Durango shut down twice... both times on the highway going 65mph. It started back up right away - both times & never had that issue again. This 2011 has never shut down... best Durango I've ever had. Makes me wonder after reading so many bad reviews... did I luck out to buy a winner or the bad just hasn't happened yet.

I purchased a used 2003 Dodge Durango in 2017, nothing but problems. I've had oil changes, front end alignment, tune up, etc, the check engine light on (fuel emission or something), driver brake light doesn't work (have changed the bulb), abs brake system problems, garage opener, radio, turning signal goes off and especially when hit a bump in the road. First time buying a Dodge and maybe my last. I do love the space.

Dodge made excellent vehicles, especially with the 5.2 and 5.9 motors, I had several trucks and Durangos, would get 200000 miles with no trouble. Now they went to 4.7 and 3.7 motors with aluminum heads that fall to pieces the 1st time the heat hand gets close to the hot mark. I had a 2003 Durango with a 4.7, with 80000 miles, motor started knocking, pulled heads, and there it was a pile of aluminum from valve insert melted and laying in a pile on top of the piston. Went to my normal junkyard, he said his 5.2 and 5.7 sell for $500, but the 4.7 goes for $800, owner said, “I have 15 Durangos in a line and 5 Dodge pickups, all in a row, none are wrecked” he said, they either have a bad 4.7 or a bad automatic transmission, and none has 150000 miles and some have as low as 80000.

The Uconnect system for the 8.4 model - The unit doesn't come on sometimes. The GPS is off by miles. Heater doesn't come on for a few minutes. When it does it at 75 degrees the GPS says no phone service and the red light comes on in the review mirror.

It's nice. Ok on gas. I like the room inside and the optional four wheel drive. I also like the sound of the factory speakers. But the bolts that hold the tail light in are known to rust... And I'm having electrical problems currently but other than that and changing flat tires and routine maintenance, it's been a good car. Plus the dealership was friendly. I would recommend the Dodge Durango to others.

2011 Dodge Durango Crew - This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned... We purchased this car Brand new in Feb. 2011. Been serviced at the same dealer all the time. It only has 86000 miles on it and I have had engine heads replaced, wiring harness replaced, due to headliner caught on fire while I was driving. Because of a sun visor recall that had recently been done for the 2nd time. The car lost all power while driving home from work on freeway, at night. No lights, nothing opened up. The hood alternator was on fire...Could have caused an accident. This was another recall.

I have owned Dodge cars before and they tend to be good reliable cars. I love that we have a great variety when it comes to this brand. The Dodge brand is classic and I've always loved Mopar products... The overall dependability is good. I can't imagine owning another brand. The ride is smooth so that's a plus. The process of buying the car was pretty easy. Basically just signed on the dotted line and drove off.

It's a good car. I chose it because I could fit three car seats in the middle row. I like the cooled seats, blind spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, touchscreen, and all the other tech things it has. But I have had issues with the battery dying before 3 years old and then had to be replaced by 4 years old. In addition, the adaptive cruise control doesn't work sometimes and I had to have a control module replaced when I first bought it.

I have had Ford Flex for two years and then a Explorer for two and now this Dodge Durango for the last year and half. Overall for the price it does much better and has been maintenance free since new.

I have had nothing but problems with my Durango. I originally bought a brand new Dodge Journey and it shut off twice while driving so we turned it in for a 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel. Horrible. I'm scared everyday to drive it. I pray everyday before I leave the house. This too shuts off while driving and the steering wheel locks while I'm driving. When I bought the car the hazards didn't work on it so I can't even put them on when I'm stuck on freeway or road. I put down 10 grand on this car so I don't have money to trade it in. I've taken it in several times and I'm told they can't find the problem. Something needs to be done! I'd give zero stars if I could.

These reviews crack me up. Most of the complaints are on older model USED Durango's. You have no Idea how well previous owners maintained the vehicle. Maybe they commuted in it or thrashed it on back roads. You should expect to start having to do some repairs after 100,000 miles. If you don't keep up with oil changes, check your transfer case fluid, rear end fluid, etc. that's your deal. If your vehicle or any vehicle for that matter isn't running right you shouldn't keep on driving it. Many of these reviews specifically state they knew something was wrong but drove it anyway. Don't ** on Dodge because you're irresponsible.

I had this 2004 Dodge Durango for about a month. I was satisfied at first. Then my wife drove it. She said it cut off on her 20 times in a matter of 5miles! I tried it and it ran good. So we decide to put it on the highway in Indiana, cold, snow and ice. It kept shutting off on me. So I would put it in neutral and start it while the car was still rolling. Bad mistake. I lost control and hit a median with my kids in the car. Bad bad bad day!!!

I TOO OWN A 2004 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7 ALL WHEEL DRIVE HEMI, PD $6000 LAST YR 2016. NOT EVEN A YEAR YET, have taken great care of it too, (respecting that big motor 16 spark plugs). Well had a minor exhaust leak, then my radiator started leaking, (bought a new one $300) a week later water pump needed to be replaced, ($92 + $23 for antifreeze). Well took my auto to carwash (which I did this often) then just like other stories it felt like I had a flat tire, I started to get out and it stalled, (I'm like WTF) no power but only 2 blocks to our house. I couldn't believe what my engine sounded like, it sounded like somebody dumped a bucket of bolts under my hood and they were just flying around inside of there.

I will never own a DODGE AGAIN. My head rest deployed on its own while driving down the road. The vehicle has never been in an accident and it is only 3 years old. The deployment almost caused me to wreck but I was able to maintain my vehicle to come to a stop in the other lane. I have contacted the dealer and Dodge with no help. Their equipment malfunction and I have to pay $684 to have it repaired. Keep in mind it is suppose to deploy in a REAR END COLLISION and there WAS NO COLLISION. It was a spontaneous deployment. They are in no way willing to help. Their product malfunctioned and I am have to pay large fees to diagnose and repair it.

I was the owner of a 2003 Dodge Durango. Yes it was an older model vehicle but on January 27th 2017, for some unforeseen reason it became ablaze, causing a total loss to my home. Submitted information from the fire marshal in the state of Georgia knowing that the vehicle was the cause of the damages occurred. But the only thing that the Chrysler company cut off of me was an apology. Had never had any problems with this vehicle. Sure it was an old model, but due to the fact that I know that it was the cause of the total loss to my home. I felt that the company should have compensated me for at least some of the damages to my home.

In response to the 2002 Dodge Durango, I had previously purchased a 2002 Dodge Durango in 2007. In 2013/2014 I had a tie rod come clean away from the tire while parking the vehicle after a road trip, it had been making severely bad vibrations on the road while driving. On another occasion the Durango while driving would not go over 40 mph, or it would start making severe noise. Well we found out that it was the Drive Shaft had punctured right through the Transfer case Housing, so a new Drive Shaft and a new Transfer Case had to be bought. Did not perform right after installation.

February 2016 after test driving a 2013 Dodge Durango I fell in love with it and purchased it 2 days later. That love was as short lived as my marriage. After having the car for year the electrical issues started piling up. Sometimes the car would stall while in drive, headlights wouldn't work while on auto... and then the wipers stopped working in December 2016. I called all over the United States for a week looking for a multifunction switch off of a salvaged Durango. Every time I found one when they took it off the connections were melted to the steering column. Finally broke down and paid $330 for a brand new multifunction switch through a certified parts dealer.

I just wanted everyone to know that after taking my truck to the Dodge dealership, Midas and Tires Plus and none of them can figure out why I go through the car wash and downpours that my truck is shaking and running rough. Well it's been solve. It's the gasket around the intake valve is worn out and needs to be replaced. Thanks to Midwest Superdutys Greenfield Indiana 46140, they took time and solved the issue. They were very understanding of my issue of having different repair shop and no answers. Robert was the Best!!! If you have issues with your vehicle I would recommend them Highly.

Almost four years ago, June 2012 I bought a 2003 Dodge Durango SLT. Great rig. Love it. About a year and a half after I got it, I started having problems. Loud knocking in the engine. I had the check engine light tested, said cylinder 4 misfire. Not sure why. I replaced a few things, still nothing. Took it to Dodge dealership, they were going to charge me a diagnostics fee for looking at it. Not less than an hour later they called back and said I would need a new engine.

I purchased a new Dodge Durango Limited for nearly $45k. I was happy with my previous Dodge Durango (2006) and was hoping for the same experience. I was wrong!!! I have followed recommendations and at 16,000 miles the service technician reports to me that I will soon be needing new tires. WHAT??? What they don't tell you is that your tires on the OEM (new vehicle) are not warrantied by the manufacturer - Kumho. This KL21 tire is warrantied for 60,000 miles if you buy it from Kumho, just not on a new vehicle. This makes absolutely NO SENSE. It is poor quality and Dodge could care less. They are not helpful and wash their hands of it. Details such as this should be in BOLD print on the window sticker when shopping for a vehicle. I feel cheated & robbed!!! Shame on DODGE. Shame on Kumho.

We purchased our Durango November 2013 and were completely in love. Fast forward two years, we go to get in the car and it is completely unresponsive to the key. Will not lock or unlock, certainly cannot start the car. We call a tow truck driver who shows us how to override the key and we are able to drive it home. The next day we got start the car, same issue. Except now the car will not do anything. No lights coming on, like it has a completely dead battery. We take it into the dealership and they tell us it has a recall on the alternator. They make the repair and send us home.

I bought a new Dodge Durango a 1998 from the dealership. Drove it 305,000 miles and traded it in on my new 2013 Dodge Durango. All cars have issues but I have loved both of these models. Wished I had done something in the way of anti-rust on the "98". I fluid undercoat the 2013 every 10 months. Hope to get better results. The original 318 ci engine in the 1998 was a proven workhorse and never had any problems. I am concerned with the 5.7 hemi in my current ride. Just do not feel this motor has the ability to go 1/4 of a million miles and beyond without extensive support! I do not think I will find out. Most likely trade for a 2017 before I run the resale value to nothing!

2014 I bought a used 04 Dodge Durango limited edition w/ 5.7 hemi. I had car for 2 months, it only had 129,000 when purchased. At 133,000 miles I threw power steering pulley thru my radiator. Replaced pulley, belt, radiator, power steering pump. Ran great for about 3 months. Brakes went out, rotors cracked, replaced pads and rotors. Great again on road. Then started driving funny, rear end out. Replaced then rain came and tried drive thru car bath. Truck stalled.

Purchased vehicle in April 2013. Within first week had to have fuel pump replaced, thought it was a fluke. Had fuel pump replaced again in 2013 and 2014. In 2014 also replaced cowl as recommended by dealership and service bulletin. Water runs down the driver side windshield under the cowl. It is not routed away from the engine and the seal is not enough to keep rain out. Had the 4th and 5th fuel pump replaced in July 2015. As I type this, the truck is in the shop having the 6th fuel pump replaced. Cowl is no longer keeping the water out. I have paid for 3 fuel pumps and 3 were covered by warranty. This is an ongoing problem that needs to be addressed. I love the truck but I can’t continue to replace parts for the same problem.

I had a 2001 Dodge Durango given to me with no problems. It was spotless, nice, clean engine, looked brand new and passed emissions. Then a week later, after not even much use, the cooling system just stopped working. The electric fan, water pump and hoses leaked out, and the gasket was shot after standing in my driveway overnight. The most I drove it was about 10 minutes to a local Walmart for food shopping and not even hard driving. I drove maybe 40 mph since the car was new and I babied it right before that night. And of course... I knew would cost me over 980$ at the least to fix.
