Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.

What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.

Owners filed 4,841 complaints with NHTSA about the 2004–2009 Dodge Durango, and 3,960 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 45,450 and 117,000 miles. The median is 77,000 miles.

The most-reported areas are the fuel system (22.6% of complaints, typically around 60,000 miles), the electrical system (11.9% of complaints, typically around 71,000 miles), the engine (10.5% of complaints, typically around 115,000 miles).

7 recall campaigns cover this generation. 4 of them carry a severe NHTSA advisory.

If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.

How many miles does a 2004–2009 Dodge Durango last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2004–2009 Dodge Durango were filed by 77,000 miles and 90% by 152,000 miles — figures drawn from 3,960 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

101 reports (2.6%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Durango reached that mileage, not that it died there.

Before you buy a 2004–2009 Durango: the 3-minute check

Generated from 3,960 mileage-tagged complaints, 7 recall campaigns, 4 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. A DO NOT DRIVE recall covers part of this generation. Run the VIN before you drive it home — the fix is free at any dealer.
  2. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 7 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  3. Check engine. 5.7L Hemi with MDS cylinder deactivation: camshaft lobe and roller lifter wear producing a tick, then metal in the oil and bottom-end damage.
  4. Check engine. Hemi exhaust manifold bolt breakage causing an exhaust leak with a cold-start tick.
  5. Check electrical. Totally Integrated Power Module faults producing no-start, stalling and phantom electrical behaviour.
  6. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  7. End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.

For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 45,000 and 117,000 miles, with a median of 77,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.

On inspection, the fuel system and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The fuel system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 60,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 77,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The fuel system accounts for 22.6% of complaints (1,092 reports, 984 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 45,000 and 80,000 miles.

The electrical system accounts for 11.9% of complaints (574 reports, 452 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 71,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 35,000 and 120,000 miles.

The engine accounts for 10.5% of complaints (509 reports, 467 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 115,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 90,000 and 140,000 miles.

The engine and its cooling system accounts for 10.3% of complaints (499 reports, 446 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 55,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 19,000 and 92,000 miles.

The fuel and propulsion system accounts for 8.7% of complaints (422 reports, 346 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 90,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 65,000 and 124,000 miles.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 8.2% of complaints (398 reports, 357 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 107,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 69,000 and 150,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2005 model year drew the most — 2,001 complaints — while 2008 drew the fewest at 127. The median year sits at 1,039.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 7 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

4 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.

The campaigns cluster around the airbag system (5), equipment (1), the transmission and driveline (1). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
