Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Durango 3.6L.
The 2019 Dodge Durango is a WD-platform SUV driven by a 3.6L engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, returning EPA figures of 18/25/21 mpg from a powertrain that requires 6.0 quarts of 0W-20 oil. Generating 138 owner complaints predominantly focused on exterior lighting alongside four recalls, this model year occupies a relatively moderate space within the nameplate's broader 1997-2026 reliability timeline. When contrasted with the model's historical extremes—ranging from a low of just four complaints in 1997 to a peak of 2,043 in 1999—the 2019 Durango stands as a comparatively stable and matured iteration of the platform.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2019 Dodge Durango sits in a relatively stable portion of the third generation (2011–2023), with 138 complaints—far below the 2011–2014 peak of 640–797 complaints per year, and only slightly above the 2020 low of 53. Its four recalls are moderate compared to the 8–11 recalls seen in 2011–2014, and the single investigation is the lowest of any year in the generation. However, the 397 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are among the highest in the generation, indicating that while major safety defects are rare, the manufacturer is actively issuing guidance for many smaller, non-safety issues. The top complaint area—exterior lighting (29 complaints)—is a specific, non-critical concern, and the four crash and two fire complaints are very low. Overall, the 2019 represents a well-refined, low-risk choice in the Durango lineup, with the caveat that you should verify lighting function and check for any open TSBs before purchase.
All 138 complaints on record, top 8 components.
