The only things I have found with my Durango that could be considered issues are that the PS fluid reservoir was at the min line and one of the trim pieces has started to come unstuck from a door. It was bought used so I can't fault the truck for it, I checked the PS lines and there's no leaks so I filled it to max and haven't seen any disappear. The trim piece will get fixed under warranty when I get time to take it in because my wife is afraid of the service department. The washer fluid was also low (and that reservoir is HUGE btw, took an entire gallon to fill), but...bought used.
I also have a 2013 Ram 1500 that I bought new in May of that year with 8 miles on it. It has probably been overloaded a few times, and off roaded, maybe hot rodded once or twice (everyone is a hoon once in a while), and has 58,400 miles on it as of today. All I have done to it other than mods and routine maintenance (oil changes, spark plugs...) was replace a windshield (not the truck's fault) and a bumper (my fault). My parents had a 1992 V6 Plymouth Grand Voyager that went 275,000 miles without any reliability problems before they sold it because mom wanted something new. We also had a 1995 Neon that went to about 80k with no issues before it was totalled when my dad t-boned some idiot who pulled out in front of him to cross a highway when he was going 70 MPH. He and my brother both waled away with seat belt bruises and cuts in dad's forearms from the airbag in the steering wheel deploying.
They have also had Hondas, which have been reliable as well, but not as reliable as the Mopars (not that you can really beat a flawless record). There are very few vehicles on the road that are actually bad vehicles; sure you can get one with a production flaw once in a while, but most of the turds are considered to be so because they lack performance or features that competitors have. There are still the people that tout Toyota as being reliable because they are Toyotas, and American vehicles as unreliable because they are American, but they are typically the people who know little to no actual information about cars. This is not 1973-Ford no longer makes the Pinto, Chevy no longer makes the Chevette, and the foreign competitors are not any more reliable.
I have always found foreign vehicles to be overpriced and boring, the Asians typically follow the same pattern of bland styling and FWD 4 cylinder powertrains with the option of a V6 as the "big engine". Worse, they are starting to use CVTs in some of them. The Europeans have performance but they have no soul to them if that makes any sense. They are also very difficult to work on and expensive to have worked on.
Think of all the legendary powertrains like the Mopar Hemi, 440, 340, and 360; the Ford 302, 460 and 429; the Chevy 454, 427, and 350-which has the best aftermarket for any engine ever bar none. People don't even call them 350s half the time, they call it an SBC and nobody asks which small block Chevy you're talking about-they know its the 350.
Most vehicles anymore aren't a whole lot more reliable than others as long as you take care of them. I still like that the Hemi is an iron block pushrod design and there are several people who have taken their Eagles past 300,000 miles without a rebuild. A lot of dudes come on forums to get help with a problem, not to talk about their vehicles or learn about mods and technical info so there is a response bias aspect to basing reliability info off of forums.
