Great car if you don’t like power steering

We purchased our 2016 Durango in 2017 with 18k miles on it because we loved our 2004 Durango. It drove well and handled well, it had power and was quite comfortable. Our issues began at 68k miles when my wife got a dash board message “power steering unavailable service required” and lost the power steering. We turned off the engine and restarted, and the problem went away. Fast forward a month later and it happened again. Concerned, we took it to the Dodge dealer and they diagnosed it with a burned up power steering module. True to FCA form, the module is integrated into the rack and pinion and one must replace the entire assembly to replace the module. Our cost to repair? $4,002 to fix the steering. I inquired about just buying the part and avoiding dealership labor rates and found the part alone is over $3,100. I contacted FCA about the astronomical cost of replacing the rack and pinion, and shouldn’t it last more than 68k miles and they told me the price was fair and I was on my own. No offer to reduce the parts cost. After a week the steering went out completely so I got on the internet to try to find some aftermarket options. The only resource I found that sold refurbished racks for the Durango told me he was completely sold out. He stated the Dodge racks were epic garbage and he sold them as fast as he rebuilt them and even offered to rebuild mine if I’d send it in. I also found an electric rack and pinion recall on the 2016 Ram trucks while I was looking around. I emailed FCA again and told them of my finding that the internet is rife with Durango trucks experiencing this issue and other vehicles of the same year were same brand had recalls on the same part. I asked them to step up and do the right thing and reduce the cost of the part. They doubled down on they’re decision to leave me hanging with a ridiculously high repair bill on a vehicle that has very little miles on it. We just traded the Durango on a different brand because there is no confidence in Dodge for me. Never again FCA will I buy another of your vehicles.

Purchased a "USED"... yes used 2016 Durango R/T with 65 miles on it (July 2016). With the addition of a second child (we opted for 2nd row captain chairs), our 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Prem Plus, S-Line just did not have enough interior room. Durango is a nice vehicle for its size. The V8 is a must for the weight of this vehicle. Coming from a supercharged V6 german CUV, my wife could not stand the Dodge V6. The 8sp is smooth. We tested other American SUV's that had the quad captain chairs as options and the Durango ticked all our boxes for satisfaction. We liked the turbo-6 on the Ford explorer but not much else on that vehicle. U-Connect is intuitive, I just hope the touchscreen lasts. I will update later on longevity. Noted....our Audi had 60k miles when we traded and was absolutely flawless....NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM during the ownership. Update....August 2018.....40000 miles. No problems...needed tires.....Durango still enjoyable. Had 2 software recalls that were updated at dealership with ease. We did receive a Water pump extended warranty letter from FCA for 7yr/unlimited mileage.

Make sure your not leaking oil from oil pan and rear main seal, got the Durango new with 56 miles the night I got it home it had two different leaks just check before you buy other then that great suv for your family, but Chrysler has been great in fixing the problem and also are offering a refund for the inconvenience so I would definitely recommend this vehicle just check before you buy that way you don't have to go through what I did.

I absolutely love this car! My lease is almost up and I am seriously considering leasing another. It has a roomy luxurious interior, great looking exterior, and enough power to hall your family or tow a load. With enough room for families large or small, room for luggage or tools and decent on gas.

We love it. 7 seats, comfortable. This is the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. I got one without the tow package. I wished I would have gotten the tow package the difference without the tow package capacity goes from 6500 to 3500. I like to boat. But overall I still love it
