Owner report 11461953 · 2022-04-24 (April 24, 2022)
On Friday, 04/22/2022, at 5:30 PM, I remote-started the vehicle, and let it run for 5 minutes, then my wife and I entered the vehicle. I put my foot on the brake pedal, pushed the engine start button to unlock all vehicle functions, and put my seatbelt on. I placed the vehicle in reverse. Then I released the parking brake and backed off the brake pedal. My driveway is slightly sloped downwards towards the garage doors, around three degrees and around five degrees or less where it connects to the street. This vehicle has enough power to back out…

Owner report 11461993 · 2022-04-25 (April 25, 2022)
On Saturday, 04/23/2022, the Dodge Durango ran fine. I was able to back out of my driveway without incident around 12:00 PM and go to Walmart. I drove to the Sheetz gas station from Walmart and topped off the fuel tank because we wanted to take a family trip during the weekend. At 12:40 PM, I arrived back home, turned off the engine, and went inside my house to pick up my son. We entered the vehicle around 12:50 PM. I put my seatbelt on, put my foot on the brake pedal, and pushed the engine start button. Then I placed the vehicle in reverse, re…

Owner report 11649643 · 2025-03-21 (March 21, 2025)
From manufacturing dodge put a clamp on a rubber hose that goes to the transmission heater. That clamped rubbed a hole into the metal antifreeze line above it. My car started over heating on a busy road. Luckily I was able to pull off without being hit. Dodge doesn’t wanna do anything about it but it’s a known issue for the Durango’s. But dodge won’t recall the issue. Instead their wanting to charge people anywhere from 2k up to 6k depending what state you live it. The issue is known to occur around 50k miles to around 65k miles

Owner report 11569393 · 2024-02-01 (February 1, 2024)
We have been to the dealership multiple times about the electrical issues that we are having with the vehicle. The dealership has not been able to correct the issue so we are pursuing the lemon law. We received an offer from Dodge to buy this vehicle back but they are not being reasonable with the amount they are willing to give. We would not be going through this if it wasn’t for the electrical issues that we are having therefore we do not feel like we should be penalized for something that we cannot control. We are scared that the vehicle wil…
