Beyond disappointed
In 28 years of marriage, this was our first new vehicle purchase. We have 11,000 miles on it and have had it for 6 months. We've had to have it in the shop six times and still our issues are not resolved. The back shocks had to be replaced, a sensor went out in the fuel system causing our check engine light to go on, which disables your remote start capabilities. We had the sensor replaced and was assured the check engine light would stay off and it came the next day. I have not been able to use my remote start for two months. With temps over 90 degrees, this was very disappointing. We then had a terrible grinding noise under our pedal and brake. It was put on the hoist in the shop and the audible grinding has quit, but the technician never stated that there was a problem. There is still a slight grinding feel in the brake. We are now going to a new Dodge dealer to have it looked at and hopefully get the check engine light off. The DVD player in the entertainment system is very touchy and at times doesn't work. I understand getting the kinks out, but this is ridiculous. Unless Dodge provides some kind of intervention (and we are contacting them) I would never buy another Dodge again. It's really a shame because the potential for this to be the greatest midsize SUV on the road is definitely there.

2015 Durange beat the competition. SUV X frame
I wanted a SUV ! No a CUV. Durango fit the bill !! Technology package is awesome. Pentastar V6 get great mileage and 8 speed tranny is smooth and auto stick adds a sport mode I enjoy. Comfortable ride with a long wheelbase. Negotiated a good deal . Hard to find a value these days with current sticker prices. Give it a try if you are in the market.

Great truck, SUV but
Great family truck, exceptional pretty much everything is great. But The traction control is very intrusive, as well as the abs! You will crash this vehicle if you drive it in the snow and try to stop even moderately to fast. 10 mph down hill will not stop! Turn the traction control off and it gets a bit better! I have extremely aggressive tires on ours, Goodyear duratrac wranglers. Goes great, will not stop! Even in non emergency situations! Im a professional driver, have thousands of hours in many different vehicles, and in all weather! And this by far is the worst ABS system ever!

Better than the competition
Dodge has come a long way during the last 15 years. A quality product with technological advances putting them on a par and in allot of cases ahead of the competition. They are listening to the consumers in what they want in a SUV. We get numerous comments on how nice the Durango looks and when people ride with us they can't believe it's a Dodge. Kudos to Dodge and their improvements over the years.

Durango is all that and a bag of chips
Great overall build quality and performance. Very happy with the vehicle as a whole but would have been happier if it were about 10% less cost to purchase. Don't feel like the price was over what it should have been though. Very safe and great performance for a vehicle of this size with a V6 engine.

Winner,Winner,Winner!
This vehicle is amazing. We bought it on impulse, believe it or not we drove it for less than 10 minutes and told the salesman we had to go back to the car lot. We got out of the car and said , we want the car but we need the third seat. He was a little shocked and said are you sure you don't want to try out more cars? Nope! It's my wife's car, she is obsessed with it. She loves all the funky features, especially the ACC and the safe braking system. We had a major accident with the vehicle, hitting a telephone pole head on ! We were fine, this is a great vehicle!! Here we are 4 years later and ew still love it, smooth , ride, amazing acceleration with a v6, super comfortable for birth my wife and I, she's 5 foot and I am 6'3". Some friends got in the car and started looking inside and said, so is this a BMW or Audi? Enough said! Go buy one!

Works for me!
When I went to buy this car in 2015, the thought was what was the most economical (purchase and operation) SUV that I could get and hold for 10 years that would give me a towing option? The Durango had more capacity in this area than other SUVs short of the likes of Expedition, Tahoe, and Suburban (which were more expensive and more gas thirsty). After a couple of years of heavy use, this persnickety customer is generally pleased. We have not yet hitched a trailer to this vehicle (for various family reasons), but we have used the hitch receiver for a cargo basket, put an additional cargo rack on the manufacturer-provided roof cross bars (can be placed or stowed for a cleaner roof line), and with this taken up to 6 adults and their luggage on extended road trips. Fuel efficiency has been good (over 20 mpg on the highway, fully loaded). Generally the vehicle is comfortable, a pleasure to drive, can get as far in the sticks as you want to go with a 4x2, and cleans up well. The biggest annoyance has been temperature control. The Chrysler engineers took the attitude that you tell the car the temperature you want, rather than just "hotter" or "more cool". I end up trying to out-think the controls to get what I really want, and become nostalgic for old-school slider bars that give "hotter" or "cooler". I haven't driven enough other vehicle built in the last 2 years to know if this is a Durango idiosyncrasy, a Chrysler idiosyncrasy, or a wider conspiracy by auto engineers at the expense of the car-buying public.

2015 Dodge Durango Limited AWD with V6 Engine
We loved this car the first 5 years we drove it, then the problems started. We had to replace the radiator (which wouldn’t be so bad if the front end didn’t have to be removed to get to the radiator). Then it started overheating. Our mechanic thought it was head gaskets and sent it to a machine shop. Two months and $7000 later, we have had to replace the engine because the aluminum block was falling apart. The car was bought new and had only about 70000 miles. Do yourself a favor and avoid this vehicle.
Racing RPM's in Second Gear
I don't know if we got a lemon, but the car races into high RPM's in second to fourth gears and we aren't moving forward. It is un-nerving especially when we are on interstate highways in large cities and even just driving at home. When it occurs, the D which is for Drive gear is replaced with a large white number showing the gear we are in. We have had it checked twice for any reports of trouble but nothing is showing up on the computer. Next week we take the car in for another check and will leave it with our dealer so they might drive it and have it do what it has been doing to us. Our dealer will also check with Chrysler and see if any other Durangos are having the same trouble. We enjoy the flexibility of our car and enjoy the smooth ride but this is a problem we need resolved. We trust our dealer will take care of us. Updating on what has transpired. We have decided that the levers on the top of the steering wheel to down or up shift have been bumped generally on turns or lane shifts. We don't believe it is due to a mechanical problem. Dodge has stood by us on this issue and given their attention to our problem and that has been very satisfying. We took the car back to the dealer yesterday. They are road testing it and we hope we will figure out what is causing the problem. They ran the computer for error messages to no avail. We did get an update on the computer but we won't know if that was a fix. Time will tell. We now have a loaner car to drive until something more concrete is found. It could be a bad sensor with the throttle or something more complex. I just want our service department manager to tell us the problem was found and repaired. I will post any updates as they occur.

Great Looks, Great Mileage For Large SUV
Although I love the looks, gas mileage (just over 27 hwy on long trips) and overall performance, there are a few issues. First, the fuel door can only be opened electronically and we have had multiple instances of not being able to get it to open. There is an emergency pull located in the cargo area that is hidden under a removable well. It was very difficult to get this to even work but after 5-6 hard tugs by my husband, it did open. I took it to the dealership and was told that since it was working properly at the time for them, that there was nothing they could do about it. One of the salesmen told my husband that he'd had the same thing happen to another Durango just that morning when he tried to gas up. After a bad customer survey several days later, we were contacted and given the offer to bring it back in for further evaluation (it's there now). Time will tell if they were able to detect and resolve the issue (I am not holding out much hope...). The other big complaint is that, for some illogical reason, attached to the right side of the steering wheel are wing-like protrusions that shift the transmission gears up or down. It is easy to accidentally push one of them depending on where your hands/thumbs are placed on the steering wheel. To get the transmission to return to normal operating function, you have to completely stop, shift into park and then back into drive. Why anyone would design a vehicle with an automatic transmission with gear shifting tabs on the steering wheel, is a mystery to me. I asked the service department if they could be disabled and was told that if there was a way to disable them, they were not aware of it. There is a strong lurch when it shifts from first gear into second, but otherwise shifting is smooth. As noted with quite a few newer vehicles nowadays, it does not come equipped with a CD player. I wish auto manufacturers would appreciate that there are still some consumers that would like to listen to their CD collections. It would also be nice if standard equipment included running boards as the ground clearance is high enough to need them and I am not a short person. It would be quite a drop down for someone who is short. The cargo area is quite spacious, especially when the third row seating is laid flat. Overall. It is a comfortable, good-looking ride and very roomy and well-appointed. A much more affordable option to a Chevy Tahoe, etc.
