The 2007DODGEDURANGO carries 241 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 16 crashes, 1 fire, 33 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 DURANGO is fuel system, gasoline with 37 filings, followed by air bags (32) and fuel/propulsion system (28). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 4 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle, the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 5 investigation files overlapping the 2007 DURANGO. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page, a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.

2007 DURANGO RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN TBE HIGHWAY. IT HAS STALLED AS MANY AS 3 TIMES IN 12 MILE TRIP FROM HOME. IT STALLS WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD AT TIMES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL STALL. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 60MPH. I KNOW OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION ON SOME DODGE FORUMS. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANK SENSOR, IGNITION COILS, PCU AND ASD RELAYS. SOMETHING US DANGEROUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND MY LIFETIME WARRANTY WAS VOIDED BECAUSE THEY SAID I TOOK IT IN TOO EARLY TO HAVE IT CHECKED. NO ONE CALLED OR LET ME KNOW I NEEDED TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BUT THEY CAN CALL ME EVERY SINGLE DAY TO TELL ME THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL. IT ISN'T MPORTANT WHEN YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DAN

VEHICLE IS SWITCHING INTO 4WD LOW WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE ACTUATOR ACTIVATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING AND WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BASED ON RESEARCH THAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES FOR DODGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM COULD CHANGE INTO 4WD OR 4WD LOCK AT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.
