What is your Durango doing?
Each one opens a sheet built from the owner reports of that problem on the 2014 model year.
Is the 2014 Dodge Durango reliable?
The 2014 Dodge Durango has 754 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, 2.1 times the median of 366 for 2014 SUVs on this site. Of the 12 Durango model years since 2014, it has the most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- Seat belt leads with 215 of the 754 complaints (29%), ahead of tail light failure at 159. A quarter of the 125 owners who gave a mileage for seat belt saw it by about 56,000 miles, and half by about 72,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 73 of the 754 complaints (10%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 23 reports mention a crash, 9 mention a fire and 60 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 8 of 23, fall under rollaway.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Seat belt has a recall on the same system (14V-643). Tail light failure and airbag have none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2019 at 153 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 28. So far in 2026, 12 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.
When each problem shows up

How this compares
754 complaints is 2.5 times the median 2014 model on this site and 2.1 times the median 2014 SUV. Among the 8 Durango model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Service bulletins for the 2014 Dodge Durango
Dodge filed 372 bulletins and other notices with NHTSA that list the 2014 Dodge Durango. 43 of them deal with a problem owners have reported on this car. Newest first.

Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
