Mine was:

1-car shakes after braking- fixed under warranty.

2- blue smoke when inclined- dip stick recall- fixed under warranty
actually stopped on it’s own after 3000 miles.

3- unbalanced rear suspension- fixed under warranty- recall.

4-sounds from alternator - fixed under warranty.

5-Right ac vent stuck - fixed under warranty.

this is my list , as you see they’re minor, what is yours? why i am starting this is to show people who say durango aren’t reliable are wrong. despite of these fixes i enjoyed every moment in it ,

My list of repairs in the first year of ownership:






Moving on to the first 100K miles (in 3 1/2 years), other than scheduled maintenance, a set of tires, and body work from a deer strike, the only time it saw the shop was at 2 1/2 years and 75K miles when the radio frequency module needed to be reset after it stopped reading the key fobs.

It's not unheard of to have zero issues for quite a while. Our '15 Caravan has not had one single issue in coming up on three years. The 09 was a different story... Never bought a brand new D so nothing to report there.

Coolant leak, had to replace hose and O-rings. Only had 700 miles. Fixed under warranty. Going strong so far. Only 6k miles on the Big D, so we shall see what the rest of the year holds.

honestly, these repairs are done from the first service, 18000 miles later no issues whatsoever except the alternator diode went bad right before 25000 miles service , and the service was 600$ regular service.

Had the door trims replaced and re-glued under warranty because they were sticking out a bit... most D's have this, look if you havent already. Also, the cowl cover was replaced due to it being warped from factory, replaced under warranty (common problem apparently). Other than updates and usual maintenance, its been a VERY reliable vehicle, love driving it, even for being a V6, its pretty quick. Have a couple of very minor issues since the first year that have yet to be sorted out, a "click" feel in the steering along with a slight drift to the right on highway speeds, Im going to have them change the intermediate steering shaft under warranty because all they have done is rotate my tires all over the place and tell me they cant replicate the issue... but thats just a service center issue, and not a major problem.

When new from delivery, an oil leak at the transmission cooler line. Took 3 attempts to fix it right.
( I shouldn't say it but, the mechanical aptitude of some techs is less then desirable )
One rear license plate LED replaced. ( water condensation )
Left front signal lamp out. Replaced socket and bulb.
Rear tailgate race track LED replaced for condensation.
Software flash for the key fob, done automatically at the dealer without asking. ( I didn't have any issues before )
All warranty items.

In 2 years and 21,000 miles, it's been a good vehicle except for what I call minor issues.
No squeaks, no rattles, no major repairs.
