2022 Dodge Durango Reliability Report

Recall repairs under campaign 24V436000 stall because the part is unavailable, and this makes up most of the reports. Owners say the wait has gone past a reasonable time, and dealers confirm the shortage. One owner describes the instrument panel going dark at times at about 35,000 miles. A single crash report describes the car accelerating on its own in heavy rain as it came to a stop at a light. Automatic braking did not engage, no warning appeared, and the car hit the vehicle ahead.

Long cranking ends in a failed start, and the car then starts on the second try. This is the most repeated complaint, and a strong fuel smell sometimes follows. Dealers often cannot reproduce it, and owners say it gets worse over time. One SRT owner reports a catastrophic engine failure on the interstate at 24K miles with no warning, leaving the car coasting without power. That owner says other SRT owners report the same. Another report describes fueling that keeps stopping, making the tank hard to fill, and hesitation when pulling away.

The first start attempt fails and the engine catches on the second try. One owner reports this on about 50% of starts within the first month, and the selling dealer could not replicate it. A fuel pump failure causes slow starts and an engine that shuts off. Owners worry about being stranded. These reports match the hard-start complaints under the engine category and the fuel pump stall noted under the electrical system.

The brake pedal goes to the floor before the car stops. One owner reports this twice in 9 months with no warning lamp, and the dealer confirmed the failure. The other report concerns recall campaign 24V415000, which covers stability control and service brakes. The repair part is unavailable and the owner says the wait has gone past a reasonable time. No failure occurred in that case.
