I wouldn't be too concerned. They aren't common and if you do end up with some issues, you've got 5 years and 100k miles to get them sorted out. That's the benefit of buying new.

Agreed! Test drove them all...Acadia, Traverse, Explorer, Armada, Lexus, BMW, Tahoe, Honda, and even some mini-vans. The ride quality of the 14 Durango was on par with the luxury models. To be honest we weren't even considering a Durango until we just turned around in a Dodge dealership to make it back to the Nissan dealership and decided we might as well drive one to see. It was love at first sight and drive for my wife and I. Took a few week to weeks of back and forth but we got exactly what we wanted at the price we wanted.

The ride quality far exceeds the Acadia and Traverse in my opinion. The 8 speed transmission made a noticeable difference in our opinion. The technology is second to none. With out a doubt the best bang for our buck.

14 Limited fully loaded minus dvd and safety features. customer preference 23e package and the second row tumble option.

Sounds like you got about the same one we are. Limited with tow package and Preferred Premium 23E Ours pulled into the dealer last night and I am going up to look it over as soon as the kids are on the school bus this morning. If all goes well I should have it tomorrow or Friday!!
