Beautiful, SUV I have and will never trade it in!!

This vehicle is reliable and perfect for me, my husband and kids. Meets all of our need on and off road. Just what we were looking for in a vehicle. I will never let it go.

By far the worst car I ever owned

I would not recommend this car to anybody. The dodge family does not back their Product at all. They sell a bad engine to you and forget about you as a customer.

Most comfortable car I have ever owned.

We loved the heated bucket seats, Stereo and navigation. Kids loved the DVD with headphones. Rolling up in this car looks fab with alloy wheels and shiny blue exterior. Great in the road with all wheel drive.

Most reliable car I've owned

This car met all my needs and is overall best in its class. The 5.7L Hemi is a great engine and the handling is amazing for an SUV. Has no problem in the snow with its low gear setting and stability in the rain. I have am so impressed that I will be buying another.

Hate to sell this solid reliable Durango

Have really enjoyed owning this SUV and would not sell it if I had not retired. But we only need one car now. This is a solid, reliable, well-lbuilt vehicle and the only issue has been that the Pentastar 3.6 Litre engine had a smail design flaw which was recently fixed under warranty because the left half of the engine has a 150,000 mile 10-yr warranty. Only those Pentastar engines build before August of 2012 are elligible for this extended warranty and FCA is not advertising this, you have to search it out using Google.

Electrical gremlins continue

I love the design, power, and size of this vehicle. I have the R/T and it is a good value for the money. However, reliability has been spotty. It is now down with the engine locked by the security system immobilizer. In the past, the cruise control and audio systems have been glitchy. Issues that have been difficult to diagnose. This combined with a terrible local Dodge dealer have me thinking of a Toyota or Honda next. Sad.

Amazing Vehicle

Drives like a 80K SUV. My first Dodge and will not be the last. I have spent a lot more for a lot less. I only wish I had popped for the supercharged version.

Great car... day one

Great running v8 in a wide stance suv. Fun to drive but everything just fell apart. First the passenger front widow just fell and would not roll up or stay up unless held somehow. Then within a month the other 3 windows followed suit. Followed by the starter and then a head gasket leak. Maybe I was unlucky. Maybe this vehicle has flaws. Maybe both.
