I owned my 2004 dodge durango SLT 5.7 Hemi for almost 9 years. I've owned over ten cars in my life and never had a better car than my durango. Only had to replace the battery, and the brakes but that's it.
I just hit 100 thousand today and still drives like when I bought it with 8 miles. This car could go for another 100 thousand without a problem!!
My sister just got a 2009 ford explorer and that has had more problems than my Durango.

I own an SLT 5.7L HEMI V8 4X4. Absolutely LOVE IT!! I bought mine in 2008 with 76,000 miles on it. It looked and ran like brand new. In my 5 years of ownership all I've had to replace is routine stuff. Battery, tires, brakes, serpentine belt, trans pan gasket at 110,000 due to small leak ($75). I have 151,000 miles on it and it runs the same as the day I purchased it. Only complaints: CD player stopped working and rust on rear tailgate by handle. I pull a large boat every summer with it also. I had a severe 50mph accident couple years ago in snow which smashed the entire passenger side. Not a scratch on me and drove the vehicle to repair shop. Extremely safe and reliable vehicle!!!

Love this vehicle, but there are some minor issues I've experienced.
My CD player quit working about 2 years ago. The manifold as a crack in it (so theres a ticking noise), there is a slow coolant leak but it doesn't overheat it I keep coolant in it, and when it rains my radio won't work for couple days, and this has happened twice while it rained the turn signals wouldn't work & all warnings light illuminated. This however is a safe vehicle. Last February during a bad snow storm I slid into a telephone pole & it crushed drivers door, windowdidnt shatter, but I wasn't hurt at all. Great winter/snow vehicle. I love this vehicle & happy I purchased it!

Stay away crom this vehicle.
After 70,000 miles, engines will throw a rod and destroy the engine block.
The Hemi 5.7 are notorious for this.
You have been warned!!!!
Google "hemi engine failure".
A new engine + installation will run over $7,000.

I bought my 2004 Durango used in 2006 with less than 20000 miles on it and regret it.
It has been a complete piece of junk!
Overheats constantly even after replacing thermostat & cooling fan, differentials went out after a couple of years, CD player doesn't work, 3rd row seat literally came detached from the floor, cheap plastic interior has multiple cracks.
Only gets 12 miles per gallon.
Very dangerous blind spot in front.
When I turn on the front window defroster, the power steering belt slips and makes a loud squeal and I lose power steering.
This thing is only 8 years old! I have read multiple reviews with these exact same issues. Do not buy this vehicle!!!

We honestly saw this beauty on the lot and I swore they were lying to me. The way it smelled, drove looked I thought it was a 2010 model. Unbelievable. Drives so smooth and love that HEMI!!! We have 3 kids and this is perfect for them and all the things we do. We are getting ready to go to the snow next month and look to have a blast!!! We test drove, the BMW X5, Grand Cherokee, Toyota Rav, Ford Explorer, Ford Escape, Ford Taurus Suv, Hyundai Santa Fe,Nissan Xterra, Dodge by far was the most impressive and funnest to drive and enjoy. Just exceeded expectations. I am trading in my eclipse for a dodge car next so we have 2 Dodge's. Grab life by the horns!! Go Dodge!!

I ordered my 2004 Durango while stationed overseas in Germany.
It was shipped to me there from the U.S., and we used it for 2 years traveling all over Europe.
We then shipped it back to the U.S. and then to Australia where we used it in the middle of the Australian Outback with the extreme heat, red dirt and dust.
We've recently moved back to the U.S. again and we still have our Durango and have never had any issues with it at all.
Matter of fact, we've only had it in the shop for routine maintenance.
This vehicle has been from the cold in Russia/Europe to the heat of the Australian Outback with out any issues at all.
We just LOVE it it!!!

Review
I had not ever owned an American car (and I'm 48 years old) because I thought they were not reliable.
so when we bought this one used with 37,000 miles from a dealership we also bought the biggest maintenance warranty available for $2500.00. Turned out the only repair ever needed in the last 3 years only cost about $360.
It was for a broken motor mount and some kind of a gasket on the exhaust system.
It has been very reliable and I would recommend it.
Ours now has about $80,000 on it and still going strong.

I bought my 2004 Durango in 2005. I now have 81,000 miles and I haven't had any major problems. I've only replaced the battery and brakes. I drive 50 miles each day and I love the smooth ride and reliability. The Infinity sound system is impressive! I can seat 7 people comfortably. The only negative thing is the poor gas mileage.
