Dodge Durango Automotive Locksmith

The Dodge Durango was produced 1995–2009 and again 2011–2027. A nameplate that ran, stopped and returned is worth flagging when you call: the two runs are usually different vehicles underneath, with different key systems, and the model year decides which one you have. It is a current SUV or crossover, so parts availability is generally good and the security procedures are the current-generation ones.

The Durango’s 1995–2027 run crosses three key generations: model years 1995 predate transponder immobilizers in the US market, so a replacement there is usually a cutting job rather than a programming one; 1996–2006 sit in the transponder era, where the key carries a chip and often a remote head, so the work is cutting and programming together; and 2007–2027 are the proximity era, where push-button start and smart keys spread across trims — and where all-keys-lost is a security operation that can involve a timed wait or erasing keys the car already accepts. Which one applies to a particular Durango is decided by its model year and trim, not by the nameplate, so have the year ready when you call.

On a vehicle this recent, most "key" faults turn out to be the fob battery. Before assuming a failed key, try the vehicle's backup start position — usually holding the fob against the start button or a marked point on the steering column — and see whether it starts.

Eligibility for the Dodge Durango is confirmed against the exact model year and trim before a job is treated as scheduled, and proof of identity and vehicle ownership or written authorization is required before any key is originated or programmed.
