2015 Dodge Durango: check engine light

Filed Apr 16, 2026 · Engine · CA

Engine light came on, no warning. Took to garage to check diagnostic system, went through system, did some work and light went off. Week later, light back on..took back to garage - they documented all they saw within diagnostic system and sent me to dealer. There was no indication of failure, drove fine but dealer made appt. Did some research and found out this year/make/model had complete engine failure at low mileage. No recall ever made. 3.6L Pentastar V6. Dealer took apart manifold, ran compression test, intake/exhaust valves leaking, engine block flatness - had to replace engine block. No precipitation of this issue other than engine light. A complete engine failure without an accident, at low mileage and a known issue without a recall on a specific engine is quite concerning. I basically paid $14, 400 for a new engine where I could have bought a used Durango . My 2000 Durango had well over 100k miles when I donated to charity and purchased this 2015 in 2016 off lot as used with 22 miles on it. I am not sure how to reconcile this damage and out-of-pocket expense for a known issue when no recall was made. Did I buy a lemon? Given the same engine was put back in, will I have to replace again in another 50k miles? I feel like I am due some type of refund given this problem is a known problem but no recall was issued. Thankfully it did not overheat, blow the engine while driving or cause an accident given this issue was a ticking time bomb.

60,000 mile garage kept durango with p0455 (evap purge hose crack) check engine light. Warranty is out (so much for my extended warranty- wont cover) and dealership wont repair without charging me. There are numerous tsb 25-002-15 regarding this problem. Issue a recall.. Rear taillights all leak water. Moisture and water is visible and the car hasn't been wet in some time. My complaint matches the others out there. Facory lights leaking causing damage to the lighting aspect and safety of my vehicle and other around me. Dealership wont replace, warranty wont cover. Pricing is absurdly high to replace. This is a safety issue and a recall need to issued. I bought this vehicle in good faith that dodge and warranty people would take care of issues that are manufacturer related. Not so!!

Check engine light will not go off. Had the vehicle checked three times with smoke test and shows no leaks. The computer shows a leak in the fuel line and clears the check engine light but comes back on a couple days.

Check engine light is coming on for evap problem. I don't have a gas cap. The dealership supposedly fixed the issue, 1 week later...it's on again. Seat inside packing is no longer in place. Driving over bumps sounds like the suspension is broke.

Check engine light on, due to evaporative emission system leak. Had vehicle in once a month for repairs, but problem still persists. Replaced fuel filler tube, as well as other parts involved. Vehicle isn't a year old yet, and still under factory warranty.
