2022 Dodge Durango

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Durango.

The 2022 Dodge Durango's engine specifies 6.0 quarts of 0W-20 oil, a lubrication profile consistent with contemporary Dodge powertrain engineering. With 53 total owner complaints and 6 recalls on record—exterior lighting being the most frequently cited problem area—the 2022 sits firmly on the quieter end of a complaint history that spans 1997 through 2026 and includes a dramatic peak of 2,043 complaints for the 1999 model year. That relatively modest complaint volume suggests the Durango has matured well beyond its most troubled early generations, though the presence of six recalls indicates the current iteration is not entirely without its issues.

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; spark plugs every 96,000 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.

The current Dodge Durango generation experienced its highest federal complaint volumes between 2011 and 2014, followed by a general downward trend that was interrupted by an uncharacteristic 2021 spike to 185 complaints and 7 recalls. The 2022 model year returns to the lower end of the generational arc with just 53 complaints and 6 recalls, aligning with 2020's complaint volume and faring significantly better than the preceding year, though it remains slightly elevated compared to the 33 complaints and 2 recalls seen in 2023. For the 2022 model, Exterior Lighting is the dominant reported issue with 18 complaints, followed by the Electrical System (4) and Powertrain/Engine combinations (3 each), though the data does not specify the root causes for these clusters. Sitting firmly in the mature, stable phase of the generation's lifecycle, the 2022 Durango benefits from years of prior refinements that have largely resolved the early and mid-generation spikes. Consequently, the 2022 Durango is a favorable used buy, provided you verify that its six recalls have been properly addressed.
