Reliability verdict for the 2022 Dodge Durango
With a 72/100 score against a 73/100 segment average, the 2022 Dodge Durango lands near the class norm, pointing to mixed reliability rather than a clear strength. The data doesn’t suggest a standout advantage in overall dependability, and buyer risk reads as moderate for the segment.
Complaints are not spread evenly. They cluster most heavily around exterior lighting, with additional concentration in the electrical system and powertrain, indicating the main reliability pressure points are electrical-related and drivetrain-adjacent rather than scattered across many unrelated areas. Recalls are elevated, which adds to the ownership uncertainty despite the otherwise near-average score. As a year-12 model in its generation, the record here still shows notable issue concentration.
Overall risk level: moderate, with elevated recall activity and focused complaint areas.
