The 2024 Dodge Durango continues to deliver three-row SUV performance with proven engine options. When a P0304 code appears indicating a cylinder 4 misfire, understanding your powertrain configuration helps target effective diagnosis on this capable family hauler.
Understanding P0304 in the 2024 Durango
Cylinder 4 location varies by engine. In the 3.6L V6, cylinder 4 is on the rear left bank. In HEMI V8 engines, cylinder 4 is on the right (passenger) bank. The engine control module monitors each cylinder through crankshaft position analysis.
New Model Year Considerations
Misfires on new 2024 models are uncommon and typically indicate component issues covered under warranty. The proven engine options have established reliability, and failures on new vehicles are exceptions. Software updates may address calibration refinements.
Diagnostic Process
Identify your engine and access cylinder 4 accordingly. Inspect ignition coil and spark plug condition. On 5.7L HEMI models, note whether misfires correlate with MDS operation.
Resolution Path
Warranty coverage applies to component failures on 2024 models. Have your Dodge dealer diagnose using factory equipment. Component failures causing P0304 should be covered under powertrain warranty.
