What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2025 Dodge Durango, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
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.
The ACC will just turn off without warning. A yellow warning light turns on to signal driver it is not operational. This has happened many times. The warning light also occurs when the system is NOT turned on. The FCC warning comes on intermittently and states like the ACC service immediately. Both of the systems are meant to be safety features however it recommended that the driver pull over turn off the vehicle and restart to restart or reboot the system. Our safety and the safety of others has been put at risk when the system turns off without warning especially when we are driving in heavier traffic areas like when we go to SC to visit family. Terribly hazardous and anxiety inducing. Not at all reliable. The systems warning lamps and failure have been concurrent and began shortly after the vehicle was purchased in March. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but supposedly NO CODE found to authorize repairs. I have copies of all work done on my Durango as well as pictures of the warnings one multiple dates. Am unable to upload at this time.

Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
My fuel tank was practically emptied by "gas thieves". The fuel filler compartment remains unlocked regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. And the filler tube where the gas nozzle is inserted is capless, with just a rubber seal that expands when the nozzle is inserted. In previous models Dodge used to have a button inside the cabin right below the headlights switch to release the fuel filler door, and a safety puller string in the back of the vehicle, should the button fail to release the locked door. Not anymore, and this appears to be a cost saving change/decision in detriment of the consumer. This lack of safety feature is also true for RAM 1500 pick up trucks. Dodge does not offer a locking cap option for the capless fuel filler tube, nor could I find an aftermarket one. A major concern of mine is what would happen should the vehicle roll down or lay on a side? Would the fuel in the tank come gushing out, and possibly cause a fire or even an explosion? Will appreciate your further investigation and response to this issue.
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.

Brakes
Reports naming service brakes, the antilock braking system, brake hoses, master cylinders or the parking brake.
From owner reports, verbatim
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.

Visibility
Reports naming windshields, glass, wipers, defrosters and mirrors.
From owner reports, verbatim
I am a police officer and this is in regards to my police department vehicle and another one on the department. The windshield has a deformation in it and causing a "ghosting" issue. It is mainly an issue at night but it affects my vision. To best describe the issue it feels like you are not able to properly focus and go cross eyed. When sitting still and moving your head around can see images distort. Headlights appear as 4 with the second set of lights ghost like. We received 4 new Durango's this year and two of them have this issue. James Chrysler in Cedar Lake Replaced the windshield and the windshield issue is the same. They are looking into getting another windshield to hopefully fix it. I have spoken with other agencies and the same issue is also in other Durango's. The term ghosting I learned after google defined it as that. This is a risk as it causes excessive strain on the eyes of the operator. The other officer on the department has been through several contacts after I brought up my issue she realized that her windshield had the same issue. The image shared with this is how all lights look through the windshield. The further you are from the source the greater distance between source and ghost image.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
