Hardware replacement

"Head unit was malfunctioning, and as a result, the GPS navigation was incorrect."

"U connect unit malfunctioned replaced under waranty"

Anonymous, NY (2017 Dodge Durango SXT 3.6-L V6)

In-dash navigation system (GPS)

"Failure of the telematics module. System replaced under warranty. Problem showed up as loss of position data. This is pretty specific to telematics module failure but the dealership insisted on wasting my time attempting to update the system. Of course with a malfunctioning module the update was unsuccesful and I had to return a second time since they had to order the replacement. I consider this a burn-in issue but would have hoped for better coordinated and timely service."

Wind noise

"My 2014 Durango had the windshield washer hose going over top the rubber moulding by the firewall and this one is designed exactly the same way. When you shut the hood it's squash the rubber moulding and then let's wind through so I had to move it down a couple inches on the hood just like the last one and it seems to fix the problem . But you would think dodge would've figured this out by now because I've driven three Durangos and they all whistle the same until you move that hose"

What Owners Say

Exterior lights (other than headlights)

"Driver front signal burnt out. One of the two lights that illuminates the license plate looked burnt out and then another day I noticed it was still working but it's dimmer than the other one. I had the same issue with my 2014 Durango except it kept burning out that same light and I had to get a whole new light to repair one bulb"

Kelly J., SK (2017 Dodge Durango Citadel 3.6-L V6)

"The left led light that illuminates the rear licence plate has burned out 3 times in the couple years I had exact same problem with my 2014 Durango. What I have read on the net is that water gets inside the big light bar and runs down into this light and shorts it out"

Kelly J., SK (2017 Dodge Durango Citadel 3.6-L V6)

"the turn signal housing that holds the bulb shorts out and causes the turn signal to not work"

Headlights

"The Durango has two "modules" that have the projector beam head light, the turn signal I believe and a few other items in the module. They replaced it "goodwill" for free as it was two weeks past the thee year warranty. I'd hate to know how much it would have cost if it wasn't?"

Gear selector or linkage, leaks, transmission computer, transmission sensor or solenoid, clutch adjustment, rough shifting, slipping transmission.

What Owners Say

Gear selector or linkage

"Trans would lock into PARK if I tried to shift from DRIVE to REVERSE without coming to a COMPLETE stop first. Also, trying to shift from PARK to REVERSE to back uphill into my garage would cause a lockup if I let the car roll forward even slightly. This is really hard for those who do not brake with their left foot. Release procedure is very unhandy."

Ronald K., NE (2017 Dodge Durango Citadel 3.6-L V6)

"After I come to a. Full stop and then start up again when the car goes between first and second to third it switches to neutral. I have to turn the gear knob to neutral and then turn it back to drive to get the car going again"

Anonymous, VA (2017 Dodge Durango GT 3.6-L V6)

Rough shifting

"when the vehicle is first run, it pauses before it can find a gear. Once it is warmed up the problem goes away. I've noticed on websites that this transmission is very touchy when it comes too temperature. Also on the subject of the auto stop feature, It would be nice if you could disable it permanintly in the system. Its probably great for city driving, but if you drive in the country, not much use for it"

Anonymous, WI (2017 Dodge Durango GT 3.6-L V6)
