Body SUVEngine 5.7LTransmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2014 Dodge Durango 5.7L is a WD-platform SUV that pairs its 5.7-liter engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 14/22/16 mpg. Service specifications call for 7.0 quarts of 5W-20 API engine oil, the kind of detail that anchors any technical reference for owners and technicians. Within the model's long complaint arc from 1997 through 2026 — a range that runs from a low of 4 owner complaints in 1997 to a peak of 2,043 in 1999 — this generation records 781 total complaints and 11 recalls, with exterior lighting the most frequently cited issue, placing the 2014 model year well below the Durango's historical high-water mark for owner dissatisfaction.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2014 the Durango recorded 781 complaints, 11 recalls, 7 investigations, and a sharp rise to 372 technical service bulletins (TSBs), positioning it above the declining complaint trend seen after the 2008 low of 97 complaints and well above the modest rebound of 502 complaints in 2015. Compared with the early‑2000s, where recalls hovered between 4 and 10 and investigations rarely exceeded 5, 2014’s recall count (11) matches the peak levels of 20122013 and exceeds the post‑2009 average of 3‑5. The surge in TSBs—doubling from 207 in 2013 to 372 in 2014—marks the highest annual total in the generation, indicating a concentration of manufacturer‑issued fixes that year. Complaint categories focus heavily on exterior lighting (204) and seats (127), while crash‑related complaints total 23 and fire‑related complaints are 9, showing no extraordinary safety spikes. Overall, 2014 sits at the apex of the generation’s complaint/recall arc, suggesting a comparatively higher service burden; prospective buyers should weigh the elevated TSB volume against the vehicle’s features, but the data does not point to a systemic safety defect.
