2014 Dodge Durango Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
29 of 36 people found this review helpful
Been buying Japanese cars for decades - and when the wife's Honda Pilot was ready to be traded in - assumed we would just go with a Pilot. Unfortunately the Pilot's reviews kept talking about the EVO vibration that quite honestly was a deal killer for me - not to mention it is due for a refresh. When looking for 3 row SUV's, we tried a few of them - GMC Acadia, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Highlander and the Pilot. None of them came close in terms of looks, styling, functionality and muscle. Of course I am concerned about the long term reliability, but this model seems to have been greatly improved since being introduced, and reliability has been decent with the 2011 and up models.
Total let-down at first, but improves w/ age.

This car has been plagued with issues from week one of ownership when I was left stranded in an intersection two hours from home. Over my first year it spent over 45 days at the dealer for various repairs and has one electrical concern with the audio system that not only remains, but has no apparent fix available in the foreseeable future. The sad part is that it's a really nice vehicle to drive and has some nice design touches, but between some of the dealer experiences and all of the problems I simply cannot, in good faith, recommend it. Update (7/5/2018): Other than the still not corrected audio issue, the Durango has finally settled in and is performing well. Front struts had to be replaced at around 60,000 miles (not surprised - read that is pretty much the norm) and an ignition coil failed around 82,000 miles. Other than that, only regular maintenance has been required. Some sub-standard quality issues still remain evident, but overall it has been within what I would consider average for the age and mileage. All of that said I still remain hesitant to recommend.

We bought this vehicle new and it now has almost 70,000 miles on it. We need a bigger vehicle to accommodate a growing family and wanted something that would be low maintenance and last us a long time. I know dodge hasn't had the greatest track record on reliability, especially recently, but while researching this vehicle at the time there wasn't much we felt was a deal breaker (all cars brands have their issues). Overall, this has been a great vehicle for us. It's the base trim, which was fine for us, had all the things we needed. We haven't had any troubles with it at all. The only issue we've had is that the electronics will freak out while driving (dash lights and warning lights flashing randomly, speedometer and tachometer will jump around and transmission shifting randomly). This started at about 50,000 miles but is very infrequent and hardily ever happens. I like the V6 engine, I was actually a little surprised ate the power this engine puts down. It has pretty good acceleration when you put your foot into it. The throttle control and transmission is very lethargic, but that's how it was programmed for fuel economy. If you want to drive it bit more spirited, you have to use manual mode or really get your foot into the throttle. I like the sound of the engine, not really load but a nice, aggressive growl coming into the cab when you do get on the throttle (definitely not a HEMI though). Get pretty good fuel mileage for the size of this vehicle, we are averaging 21-22 mpg with mixed city and highway. That's over the entire life of the vehicle. Usually get around 24-25 on the freeway @ 80 mph. I like the exterior and interior design, a very aggressive and sporty looking family wagon. Some gripes that I do have are the lack of speaker in the 3rd row. The closest speaker to the 3rd row is in the bottom of the 2nd row doors (seriously?!). You have to crank up the volume so that they can hear the radio. The hands free texting feature for Uconnect is VERY limited and almost unusable, other than listening to received texts. Like I said, overall a great vehicle and has been pretty reliable for us.

My wife and I purchased this 2014 Durango R/T in Nov 2014. We absolutely love this vehicle so far. We wanted a 3 row SUV and deemed this best in class. The 3rd row is actually usable by adults unlike some competitors. We have had 1 issue so far, which is currently ongoing, the SD card reader sometimes won't recognize the card is in there and I have to do a soft reset of the Uconnect to get it to work. This has happened twice for no apparent reason. Other than that, all is good. I have mostly owned Toyota's of all kinds in my life so it takes a lot to impress me and I am impressed so far. If this vehicle remains reliable in the long run, I will consider another Dodge again.
Perfect Ride

2018 Review of my two 2014 Model Durangos. Yes me and my wife both had Durangos and we traded both in this year. I have nothing but positive things to say about those vehicles. Wife's 2014 had 115,000 on it and mine had around 95,000 miles. Neither Durango had any real maintenance issues. I really believe these are exceptional cars. They are built really well and the V6s have plenty of power and at the same time the gas mileage will surprise you for a 3 row seat SUV. Now my car was a company car and the company replaced it with a new Ford Edge. So, I am going to review that car also. But, if you are on the fence thinking about a Durango and other cars in its class, I would save the additional money and get the Durango. Durangos are a good value for what you get. Edmund's wanted another update. Again here it is. I own two 2014 Durangos. The SXT has 71,000 and I just got new tires. So, other than tires and oil changes...it has needed NOTHING. Rides as smooth as a Mercedes. My wife has 95,000. Wife's probably needs brakes. I find it amazing she hasn't needed them prior to 95,000 being that her vehicle pulls a horse trailer (with horses) many times a week. But, the bottom line is these are fine vehicles. Smooth, good looking, and reliable. And decent mileage for a 3 row SUV. Anyway that is the 2017 update. (2016 update) Edmunds kept emailing me asking for an updated review. Here it is. The 2014 Durango is a great vehicle. I have two of them. Mine (SXT), over 60,000 miles has NEVER needed any maintenance other than oil changes. My wife's (Rallye pkg or something like that) 80,000 miles has been to Dodge once for something minor (Cruise Control stopped working-was covered by warranty). Also the handle on the floor to the storage area behind the third row of seats broke off on hers. But, no real repair for her either. I will make one distinction. The SXT rides much smoother than the Rallye package my wife has. Hers is more of a truck type feel. I don't know if it is the lower profile tires or the stiffer suspension. It is a nice looking vehicle BUT I like the ride of the SXT. It truly is very smooth ride. The bottom line with these cars is they are very nice for the price. I have friends of mine with Audi SUVs, Mercedes SUVs, Acura SUVs, and whatever. They are nice cars too but they certainly do not have a better ride than my Durango. And I know this is a small sample but the Mercedes lives in the shop and the Acura is a rattle trap. The Audi seems nice but it cost as much as me and my wife's Durangos put together and I don't see any value in that. The main things I like about these vehicles is great ride, they ain't everywhere you look, great gas mileage for a 3 row SUV without sacrificing power, big gas tank - you go forever 500 miles on a tank, and great value for the price. Original Review Below from a couple of years ago. I was born in the 60's and grew up in the 70's when Chrysler didn't exactly have the best reputation among auto makers. I discovered the 2014 Durango because I use one very frequently for the company I work for. I couldn't believe how quiet and smooth the ride is. I used to joke around about the Durango being as smooth as a Mercedes. Then, I found out it shares the same platform as the Mercedes GL series. So, when my wife needed another vehicle I decided to get her a Durango. She picked out a 2014 Rallye package and loves it. The kids love it. The car is so quiet and smooth. The gas mileage is great. After 8000 miles we average about 22mpg. No maintenance issues.
