2011 Dodge Durango Crew 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)

Bought my 2011 Durango crew awd used with 33k miles in good condition. At 67k miles the alternator went out and killed the battery with it. Left my wife and kids stranded in the middle of the road. There is not a voltage gauge on the vehicle to give any warning not were there any performance problems before hand to indicate an issue. Did research and found that the alternators on the 3.6 pentastar dodges had a recall. Contacted dodge and mine conveniently wasn't covered because it is 210 amp not the 160 amp that's covered. At 72k miles the front tires wore very badly and steering was all over the place. Had to replace inner and outer tie rods along with tires and alignment. There is a intermittant clunking noise while driving coming from the front end. Took a Saturday to investigate where the noise was coming from only to find oil pouring out of the top of the motor and several oil leaks in various places on the engine. Did more research and found that the genius engineers designed a plastic oil cooler/filter combo that sits under the intake manifold and is prone to failure on these engines. Had to order the part and spend two days fixing replacing the part because again the engineers placed the motor about an inch and a half too far under the cowl to make this a semi easy repair. Fast forward to 82k miles the starter went out again leaving my wife stranded at the store. Towed to the dealership... $1000 repair...to replace a starter. Attempted to do it myself but due to the position of the starter in conjunction with the motor mount and see made it a near impossible task on a garage floor. Still have a clunking noise in the front end I'm assuming is the cv axles, but am so frustrated with this vehicle that I'm looking forward to trading it in on a non dodge vehicle. Dodge has offered no support nor stood behind their product so I can no longer stand behind them

2011 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

A joy to drive. Great acceleration for a 5K Lb SUV. Still under the initial 1K mile first service and the MPG has been just about double that of my 99 Dakota 4X4 standard cab with the 318. Very little push in the corners, and less body roll than I had prepared myself for. (test drove a crew as there were no R/Ts available at the time of purchase). Only 2 options that I ordered were Trailer&Tow and Entry Level NAV.
95000 and still love it!

Crew 5.7 l engine bought new. Has been a work horse for pulling boats and is our family vehicle. Cruises on highway and very smooth and relatively quiet even w the big engine and big wheels. Driver seat is great, and Im a big guy. My wife likes driving it too. In 2011 the technology was great like auto bright lights, adaptive cruise . Cargo space is awesome and turning radius exceptional. Smallest most powerful towing car I know w room for 7. Problems have been minimal for a dodge but I do most of my own repairs and avoid dealers.Issues: 8 years and 95000 miles It has needed a new waterpump, exhaust manifold bolts, wouldnt start so dealer put in a jumper wire on the fuel pump at the tipm, rear heater core clips rusted and failed, transfer case chain stretched and needed replacing, parking brake cable rusted and broke...mileage sucks as expected for huge v8 ... been a great car for me. My acura, honda and toyota have all been similar in their repair needs yet this thing is a beast towing! Pulls my ski boat around the mountains like there’s nothing behind it!

Just took Delivery this month, what a great buy!. Citidal with v-6, loaded with everything under the sun. Looked at BMW, Merc, Audi, and you just can't beat what you get for the money. Love the way the car handles, very nimble for such a large SUV. Blackberry pearl/Tan interior combo is just outstanding. Quality is every bit as good as the others I looked at. Getting 25 HWY...all this and it seats 7.
Glad We Got It

We (still) have a 2011 AWD Dodge Durango Crew. Its duty cycle is a daily commute switch off between mom one day for 10 miles total and our middle daughter the next day with a 60 mile round trip for college. Errands and entertainment ventures on the weekends. In the 8 years we've owned it we've done 3x 2000+ mile and 2x 1000+ mile road trip vacations with NO problems. WE LOVE THIS VEHICLE. It's built like a tank nut doesn't look like one, drives like a car, luxurious as a Benz, quick as a sedan and most reliable out of 10 vehicles we've owned over 30 years. We've had this Durango the longest. Dodge: DON'T CHANGE THE FORMULA!
