The best and worst Dodge Durango years, by the numbers
Short answer: among Dodge Durangos old enough to judge (2005–2022), the 2010, 2019–2020 and 2022 have the fewest owner complaints per 10,000 sold. The 2011–2014 have the most.
We counted every owner complaint filed with the federal government (NHTSA) for each model year and divided by how many were sold that year, so a year that sold more doesn’t look worse just for being popular. Years newer than 2022 are shown but not ranked — they haven’t been on the road long enough. How this is calculated.
