Example complaints
Electrical system: “Bought the car brand new, the radio and navigation system will reset/ stop working completely in the middle of a trip. Sometimes it won’t even come on have to turn the car off and on again to get the navigation screen to come on. We have taken it to the dealership multiple times and all they have done is updated the software and told us nothing is wrong with the electrical system. Now it’s saying we have a U-connect box error”
NHTSA complaint #11765674, filed 2026-09Fuel system: “The contact owns a 2025 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving at various speeds or while coming to a complete stop, the vehicle occasionally stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that during the failure the contact had to restart the vehicle to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the fuel canister and the radio were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28.”
NHTSA complaint #11672832, filed 2025-07, 28 milesBack-over prevention (rear camera): “The infotainment system always reboots. The screen will stay black or frozen. The system is constantly needing to be rebooted by holding the power button until the dodge logo comes up. The back up camera gets stuck when in reverse then going to drive. The picture stays frozen in time for about 4 minutes and the rcta doesn’t work during that time. The backup camera is always delayed to convert back to standard infotainment mode.”
NHTSA complaint #11724254, filed 2026-03Brakes: “I purchased the vehicle brand new in October 2025. Before there was even 3000 miles on the car the brakes had formed a wobble. The brake wobble has worsened with the use of the vehicle. I reported the problem through the Team Dodge website around April but no one responded. I reported it again in May and received a return response. I’m bringing the vehicle in to Team Dodge for inspection this June 12. It’s clear that this issue is a warped rotor. It’s a very common issue with Dodge vehicles.”
