Love the Durango… Hate the oil leak!

2023 Durango RT Plus Blacktop Edition I purchased this vehicle 4 Months ago and had it back to the dealership twice now! The 5.7 engine developed an oil leak at (only 4,500 miles) at the oil filter adapter that attaches to the block. The dealership replaced it with a new one with new gaskets. Drove it for two weeks with no issues then the other night I smelled oil burning, looked under the front and the whole bottom side of the engine and transmission are covered in oil. The adapter started leaking again! Added two quarts oil and drove it to the dealership the next morning. Dealership tried to repair the gasket by using “approved” Mopar sealant and it started leaking again after running 5 minutes. Now it’s been sitting for two days at the dealership waiting on another new adapter and gaskets. The dealership replaced the rubber trim on the back drivers door on the outside of the window. The rubber had turned a spotty white/gray looking color. The dealership also order new exhaust because the right side exhaust tip is pointing inward toward the center of the bumper. It was that way on the showroom floor when I purchased. 4 other Durangos on the lot had the same thing. Awesome quality control at Dodge!! Update 12/7/2023… After three failed attempts to fix the oil adapter leak, Dodge has granted to replace the whole engine with a new one. They determined the engine block was not milled correctly causing the oil adapter and engine block not to mate evenly which caused the leak after the engine warmed up. Build date on the Durango is 7-23 Update 4/5/2024, The new engine developed another oil leak after only 4,000 miles on it. The leak was towards the rear of the engine and Dodge claimed the oil pan gasket failed when the engine was put together at the factory. We had that repaired and two hours later smelled oil burning on the exhaust and also oil dripping onto the ground in the same area. Dealership claims it’s now a rear main seal that needs to be replaced along with another oil pan gasket. As much as I hated too because I’ve always been a Mopar guy, we got rid of this lemon!! Total mileage on the Durango 12,000 miles. We traded this Durango on a new Ford Explorer ST and haven’t looked back at Dodge since!!

Horrible car

Horrible car, bought it brand new 2023 with 69 miles on it, after 2 weeks it shut down in the middle of the road had to tow it to the dealership they said it was the starter they fixed it, and continues to have problems now I’m taking it in again for a second time and this car has not even hit 1000 miles, I haven’t even made my first payment. Horrible car it lunges forward when I let go of the gas pedal, when I accelerate it jerks, I bought a brand new car in hopes of not having any problems for years and here I am taking it in a second time and only had this car 1 month, horrible car will be doing a buy out or trading in very disappointed with this car

Very impressed with our new Durango! Like it way better than the Wagoneer which is a electrical nightmare. The HEMI is awesome and all the tech works great! Very FUN to drive!

I personally like the styling, the tow & go package is a must. Rumble at start up gets me going. Looks great, smooth riding responsive V8 power. Fun car with lots of room.

It is a good drive comfortable. However no safety features that you'd expect in a 2023 car. Major flaw and drawback if you are looking for this.
