2011 Dodge Durango SUV RWD

All current recalls have been performed on this vehicle. While making left and right hand turns after coasting down from a highway speed (55MPH or greater) the vehicle will stall. We will loose all power steering and brakes. No warning lights come on and everything appears normal except the engine is not running. Something in the fuel or electrical system is intermittently failing. I suspect it to be a "Dumb" device. Something that is told to turn on or off but there is no feedback to the computer to set a code when it fails. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. This started occurring after one of the fuel pump relay recalls. It happens at random and is hard to duplicate, while we do have video of it, the dealer has been unable to duplicate it. The vehicle shows no codes, or anything wrong when it happens. Once the vehicle is stopped, shifted back into park, it will restart and run just fine. This has placed us in unsafe conditions in the middle of the opposing lane, in a turn, trying to restart the vehicle before another car comes around the turn. It is also hard to steer and stop a large SUV when power steering and brakes have been lost. There have been several close calls of getting the vehicle stopped prior to going off the road. The dealer has checked the vehicle over with no solution found for the issue. There has never been any warning lights associated with the vehicle stalling while driving. The vehicle does not know anything is wrong.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that after start-up, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was informed that the wiring on the inside of the driver’s side belt buckle was defective. The contact was informed that the defect was related to the air bag failure and that the buckle needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle and that she would be responsible for repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 224,000.

While driving lights on dash all flash, windshield wipers come on, horn won’t work, windows won’t work, headlights will turn off, speedometer drops to zero. Problem started a year ago. Took it to dodge and 2 independent auto repair places, with no fix. We were without the car for 4 months while waiting to see if anyone could find a fix-as far as we were told there was none. Car drove fine for a couple of months with some “minor” issues-lights flash speedometer drops- pull over turn car off- everything ok. Today full electric failure! EVERYTHING stated above happened at once, in addition to feeling like I could not accelerate.

While at speed, the FCW light goes off and the vehicle looses the ability to accelerate. I usually have to pull over, shut down the vehicle, and restart it to continue. I have had all of the recalls completed as soon as possible, and the last one was completed several years ago. Similar things happened previously with this car but seemed to be fixed by recalls. This has only started happening again recently, say within the last month or two, and is happening with greater frequency.

Every so often, while I’m driving, my vehicle totally shuts down in the middle of traffic as I slow down for a turn or to stop. The steering wheel becomes very difficult to maneuver, forcing me to stop exactly where I am, to shift it to park and crank it up again.

The vehicle cuts off when you slow your speed down.

We were sitting in the driveway, getting ready to go, and all of the sudden the passenger side airbag exploded open, without any warning hitting my passenger in the head. There was no warning at all, it just deployed. Apparently this happens quite a lot and now I am concerned about the driver's side doing it.

We received notice, by mail, of a safety recall (19V-813) on our Dodge Durango in Jan 2021. We made an appt for 1/13 at Bob Baker Dodge in Carlsbad, CA. Upon arrival, we were told the part was backordered and they would call us when it arrived. Juan Gonzalez was the service advisor we spoke with. In May, after no call, our vehicle began showing signs of the problem. Hesitating, failing to start. We called Juan who stated there were still no parts and he wasn't allowed to keep a list of customers waiting for parts since it would be too extensive. We called Dodge (maybe Mopar) corporate (800-853-1403) on 6/1. Aby gave us a few other dealers to try. After no luck with them, we called back. Tim claimed he would escalate our case and promised someone would call us within 24 hours. After receiving no call, we called again on 6/3. Pam said that our case was never escalated. And had no solution for us. Given the safety recall states "A vehicle stall while driving can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning" we've now rented a car since we're not comfortable driving our Durango. I feel both Dodge/Mopar and our local dealer are simply dragging their feet on this safety recall.

ALTERNATOR FAILURE

MY 2011 DURANGO HAD FUEL RELAY RECALL FIX DONE 01/11/2021. 01/22/2021 10:25PM I WAS NEGOTIATING 'IN MOTION' A LEFT TURN AND ENGINE TURNED OFF LIKE IT HAS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OFF TRAFFIC. I WAS LUCKY YET AGAIN NOT BE KILLED

FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH. VEHICLE CAN STALL AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE POSSIBLY WILL NOT START. ENGINE LIGHT ON, CANNOT USE REMOTE START. CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES TO OVER A YEAR AFTER RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM DODGE, WAS TOLD NO CURRENT FIX

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (IN MOTION). HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF NOT STARTING AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES(STATIONARY). AFTER MANY SERVICE REPAIRS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT THE CAR STILL WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE RECALL CAME OUT NOVEMBER 14, 2019, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T AN AVAILABLE PART FOR THIS RECALL AS OF 12/5/2020.

ON AUGUST 22, 2020 WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM A RESTAURANT MY CAR COMPONENTS NOTIFIED ME OF A BATTERY ISSUE WITH THE RED LIGHT ON. I THEN KEPT DRIVING TO PARK THE CAR AND WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IT STARTED TO STALL UNUSUALLY BUT THE ENGINE CAR DID NOT STOP COMPLETELY. THEN THERE WAS HEAT COMING IN FROM THE AIR CONDITION VENTS WITH A RUBBERY SMELL THEN I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I DID NOT WANT TO OPEN THE HOOD BECAUSE THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. I WAS AFRAID OPENING THE HOOD MIGHT HAVE CAUSED A FIRE FEEDING OXYGEN TO THE ENGINE. I CALLED USAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDED ME WITH A WRECKER WITH ASSUMED NAME SALLY'S TOWING SERVICE. THE WRECKER WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START THE CAR AND MOVIE IT NEUTRALLY. HE HAD TO FORCIBLY PULL THE CAR WITH THE TIRES LOCKED ONTO THE FLAT BED. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AT USA MOTORS. OUR MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND FOUND A RARE OCCURRENCE IN WHICH THE ALTERNATOR WAS OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY CAUSING THE BATTERY AND THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE TO MELT THUS CAUSING THE SMOKE AND FOUL ODOR AND THE CAR LEFT WITH NO POWER OR CONTROL.

IF IT GETS BELOW FREEZING, MY CAR WILL NOT START. MY VEHICLE WILL SIT OVERNIGHT AND IN THE MORNING IT CANNOT START. WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. IT TURNS OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS EFFECTING MY WORK SCHEDULE. WE NEED A SOLUTION. BECAUSE WAITING FIVE HOURS FOR IT TO WARM UP OUTSIDE IS NOT CUTTING IT

MANUFACTUER RECALL NOV. 2018. SENT RECALL CARD BY MAIL

RECALLED 11/14/2019 V62/NHTSA 19-V813. NO AS OF THIS DATE. DIFFICULT STARTING, HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN CITY TRAFFIC. HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES AND PRAY IT STARTS. AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WILL NOT START, STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE AUGUST AND TODAY AS WELL. NO RESOLUTION AND I AM SCARED

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 25 MPH, THE NUETRAL LIGHT AT THE AWD HIGH AND LOW SHIFT KNOB LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE STUCK INTO LOW. UPON TRYING TO GET IT TO SHIFT INTO HIGH THE TRANSMISSION STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT MOVE.

I HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACED IN 2015, AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF SMALL PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVER THE YEARS. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED 80,000 MILES THIS YEAR ALL KINDS OF THINGS STARTED HAPPENING. THE COOLING SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE AND MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE HESITATING TO START LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL, AND HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING SO I CANNOT PULL OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC UNLESS THERE IS A GOOD BREAK WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS HAVING A HEMI V8 ENGINE! I'VE BEEN TOWED TWICE THIS YEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL BUT THEN IT ENDED UP STARTING WHEN IT GOT TO MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP OR THE DEALER. I WAS NOT ONLY EMBARRASSED BUT WASTED TIME AND MONEY. MY MECHANIC DID A LOT OF DIAGNOSTICS AND RULED OUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL SO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO APPLY THE FIX. THEY HASSLED ME AND SAID THEY 'CAN NOT TRUST YOUR MECHANICS' AND MADE ME PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE RECALL. THEY ENDED UP FINDING ANOTHER PROBLEM BASICALLY TELLING ME MY MECHANICS WERE WRONG AND CHARGED ME OVER $800 FOR A NEW PCM. THEY DID INSTALL A NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY AT MY INSISTENCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE ORIGINAL PART AND NOT A FIXED PART. IT RESOLVED THE STARTING ISSUE AND I STOPPED GETTING ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T ACCELERATE OR HANDLE PROPERLY AND NOT EVEN FOUR MONTHS LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN! THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS OBVIOUSLY FAILING AGAIN AND I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE PCM HAD A PROBLEM IF I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME ISSUES. COULD IT BE THE TIPM I KEEP READING ABOUT? THE DEALER DIDN'T MENTION THAT. I'M AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE STRANDED WITH CHILDREN OR WORSE THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC!! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISK!

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING MY DODGE DURANGO ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS MULTI LANE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY EXPERIENCE A STALL CONDITION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES. PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE IN MOTION TO ATTEMPT A RESTART WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AS I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK FOR A RESTART. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING ON THE MULTILANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH SPEEDS, AS THE POTENTIAL FOR COLLISION WITHOUT POWER IS OF GREAT RISK TO ME. HAVING TO PLACE A VEHICLE IN PARK IF UNABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER OR CURB LANE PUTS EVERYONE IN THE AREA AT RISK OF COLLISION AND EXPOSING MYSELF AND FAMILY TO A REAR END COLLISION AT INCREASED HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ON CITY STREETS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHILE MID TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION RESULTING IN ME BLOCKING THE INTERSECTION WHILE ATTEMPTING A RESTART. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS. OF NOTE MY FAMILY MEMBERS WITH LESS DRIVING EXPERIENCE COULD BE AT RISK OF COLLISION/INJURY SHOULD THE ENGINE DIE SUDDENLY. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED APPROXIMATELY TWENTY OCCURRENCES WHERE MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START. I HAVE NOTED THAT THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER A SHORT DRIVE WITH AN ATTEMPT TO RESTART AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINS WHICH RESULTS IN THE NO START CONDITION. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE A TRIP TO A GROCERY STORE. FRUSTRATING BEYOND BELIEF. CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER UNABLE TO HELP AS NO PARTS OR REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE ORDERED RECALL. CONTACTED FIAT/CHRYSLER REP BUT HE WAS OF NO ASSISTANCE. THE REP INSISTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE. HIS REMEDY IS TO TOW THE VEHICLE AT MY COST TO THE DEALER UPON EXPERIENCING STALL BUT I FEEL THAT DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO FAILURE IS GROSSLY NEGLIGENT.THIS DODGE DURANGO IS NOT ONLY UNRELIABLE HAVING EXPERIENCED SO MANY NO START CONDITIONS BUT THE STALL AT SPEED IS CERTAINLY UNSAFE.

IT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT NEXT TIME I HAVE THE ISSUE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ANCHORAGE CHRYSLER DODGE. MY VEHICLE WILL AT RANDOM NOT START OR WILL START AND STALL OUT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID STATE THAT IT WOULD START AND STALL OUT FOR THEM.

THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. AFTER DIAGNOSES, IT TURNED OUT THE LIFTER FOR THAT CYLINDER HAD FAILED, AND THE CAMSHAFT LOBE WAS GROUND DOWN, CAUSING A MISFIRE. SADLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. WE HAVE ONLY 90K MILES ON OUR VERY WELL MAINTAINED DURANGO.

MY CAR GETS STUCK IN 4LOW WHEN IN AWD. CAR STALLS ALL THE TIME THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THAT RECALL AS OF YET. MY CHECK ENGINE COMES ON AND TIRE SENSORS TO 0 ON ALL SIDES WHEN TIRES ARE FINE. I CAN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT CLUNKING JERKING. DODGE DEALER KNOWS THE TRANSFER CASES HAVE ISSUES BUT NO RECALLS. THE DODGE FORUM IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO LEAST 20 OTHERS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR. I'M BEING CHARGED ABOUT $5000 TO CHANGE TRANSFER SWITCH AND CASE NOW. BUT WITH SO MANY OF US WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED. I THINK THE WHOLE PROBLEM IS OUR COMPUTERS ARE FAULTY. I HAVE ALL KINDS OF LIGHTS FLASHING UP AT TIMES FOR NO REASON AND NO CODES ARE FOUND WITH CEL ON. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A STORE CAR PARK WHEN LIGHT FLASHED AND CAR GOT STUCK IN 4LOW NOW I LIVE ONLY TO GET TO IS FROM A HIGHWAY AND WHEN THAT IS 55MPH AND I CAN ONLY GO 20MPH WITH WIDE TURNS WE HAVE AN ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS AND WILL NOT START AT TIMES.

RFUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, SEPT. 2019. NO PART AVAILABLE, OR KNOW WHEN PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. VECH. HESITATES BUT HAS NOT DIED OUT YET. TIRED OF WAITING. WILL BUY A FORD NEXT TIME.

A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS ISSUED 8 MONTHS AGO AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE YET. THE LETTER I RECEIVED STATES THAT IT CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE STALL RESULTING IN A CRASH. DOES THE MANUFACTURER HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITHIN A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME? ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 8 RECALLS. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE CAR STALLED SHORTLY AFTER THE ETC INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING NEXT TO A "FCW OFF" AND ORANGE TRIANGLES APPEARED IN MY SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ACC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG SIDE WITH THE ESC LIGHT. IT STARTED BACK UP SO I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, THEY SAID IT WAS SOME MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FIXED FIRST AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDNT DO ANY TRANSMISSION WORK.THEY REFERRED ME TO A-TEAM TRANSMISSIONS, TOOK IT A GOT A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT SUGGESTED IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM. THEY SAID THEY DIDNT WORK ON IT SO I TOOK IT TO A THIRD AUTO CARE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. HAD IT CLEANED AND THE PROBLEM STILL RESULTED IN JERKING, LOSING COMPRESSION, AND OCCASIONALLY WANTING TO STALL. I COULDN'T GET A STRAIGHT AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR ANYMORE DIAGNOSTICS. HOOKED UP MY OBD II DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND THE ONLY CODES I GOT WERE P0113, P0300, P0304, AND P0340. PARKED MY CAR IN MY BACK YARD AND TRIED TO AVOID USING IT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN FIXED.

HAVE TRIED THREE TIME TO GET MCKENNY DODGE TO FIX SAFETY RECALL FOR TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE BUT CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THE PARTS FOR A FIX HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY LOST POWER AND THEY REPLACED THE OIL PUMP ($1432). NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED CAM POSITION SENSOR ($280) BUT 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' STILL ON AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS SO NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND OIL FILTER HOUSING FOR OVE $1,000. BUT WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. COULD THE RECALL ISSUE WITH YHE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY BE CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION. WHY WOULD THIS RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE 'AN INTERMITTENT OR FAILED FUEL PUMP RELAY' THAT COULD 'CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING' NOT BE FIXED AFTER BEING IDENTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO.

UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), HOWEVER HER VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED TO THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT WILL SWITCH FROM AWD INTO LOW WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING TOUCHED BY DRIVER. THIS WAS WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN FORWARD MOTION AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING AND OCCURRED ABOUT W 20-30 MPH. IT WILL NOT SWITCH OUT OF LOW NO MATTER WHAT WAS TRIED UNLESS VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND RESTARTED (SOMETIMES RESTARTED A COUPLE TIMES). POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH TRANSFER CASE. WILL BE NOTIFYING DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF FARMINGTON HILLS (38123 W 10 MILE RD, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48335) HOWEVER THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN STOPPING CAR STALLS EVERY SO OFTEN. EVERYTHING STAYS LIT UP DO NOT EVEN REALIZE IT STALLS. VERY SCARY. *TR

ITS BEEN ABOUT 5 MONTHS I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER . EVERY TIME I CALL THEY STATE THERES NO FIX AS YET. I LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES MY SUV HAS STALLED OUT ON ME .ESPECIALLY ON THE EXIT RAMP OF THE L.I.E HERE IN NYC. A FEW TIMES I HAVE STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND I MENTIONED THIS THE MY DEALER . ON APRIL 7 2020 I TOOK MY SUV TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY PUT IN ANOTHER FUEL PUMP RELAY BUT MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE POINT OF STALLING OUT. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER HAS A FIX ON THE RECALL. I AM VERY AFRAID OF STALLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED .PLEASE HELP. MY HOPE IS THAT IN CONTACTING YOU THAT THERE WILL BE PRESSURE ON THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING WHEN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, AND I COULD NOT SHUT THEM OFF. I ALSO CAME TO REALIZE MY STEERING WHEEL AND DASH ACCESSORIES WERE INOPERABLE (INCLUDING MY HORN AND BLINKERS). MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH FCW/ ACC SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT. I BROUGHT MY DURANGO TO THE RAINBOW DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. SINCE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART, I ORDERED THE PART MYSELF AND HAD IT REPLACED. CHANGING THE PART DID NOT FIX MY PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW I CHANGED THE PART, AND IT DID NOT FIX MY PROBLEM. I ASKED THEM HOW DID THEY KNOW IT WAS THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, AND WHAT DID THE SCANNER SHOW... THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT PUT MY VEHICLE ON A SCANNER TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. (WHICH THEY CHARGED ME $147 FOR THAT DIAGNOSIS.) I HAVE TO PLUG IN/PULL OUT MY WIPER FUSE TO USE WHEN NEEDED. I DO NOT HAVE BLINKERS OR A HORN. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SIMILAR RECALL ON THE ESC IN THE 2013-2014 MODELS WHERE THERE IS A DEBRIS COVERING DISABLING PROPER CONNECTION TO MY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WITHOUT BLINKERS AND A HORN AND FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPERS.

MY CAR CUTS OFF SOMETIMES WHEN I'M COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ALSO DOES IT WHEN BREAKING TO MAKE A TURN. CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. AT FIRST IT WAS INFREQUENT BUT ITS HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, HASN'T HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY YET.

MY FIANC AND I WERE HEADED TO HIS PARENTS HOUSE AND WHEN MY FIANC STARTED TO GO LEFT TOWARDS OUR TURN AND THE DURANGO JUST DIED. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WERE STILL ON BUT NO STEERING, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ONCE HE GOT THE DURANGO STOPPED HE PUT IT IN PARK PUSHED THE START HITTING AND IT STARTED UP JUST FINE. CAN THIS BE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

SAYS INCOMPLETE RECALL, NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY OR BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE A PROBLEM CURRENTLY WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH MY VEHICLE SPUTTERING TO START OCCASIONALLY. NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF ASAP! CAR SITS ON SPUTTERING AFTER PUSHING THE START BUTTON AND SOMETIMES WON'T SHUT OFF FROM THAT UNLESS I RELATEDLY HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON AGAIN

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE AFTERNOON AFTER WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD LIT UP. I TURNED THE CAR OFF RESTED FOR A MINUTE THEN RESTARTED IT AND PROCEEDED TO THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TO GET MY CAR AN OIL CHANGE THINKING THAT WOULD DO THE TRICK. FAST FORWARD TO FRIDAY OFF THIS SAME WEEK MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR LIGHTS BLINK FOR A SECOND OFF THE CAR COMES ON BUT OTHERWISE IT HAD NOT FULLY STARTED IN 2 DAYS.

THE WIPER DELAY DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CONTINUOUS NORMAL OR FAST CYCLES ARE SELECTED, THE WIPER WORKS CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, WHEN ONE OF THE THREE DELAY WIPER CYCLES IS SELECTED, THE WIPER MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN ONE OF THE THREE DELAY WIPER CYCLES IS SELECTED THE WIPERS ONLY MAKE ONE COMPLETE CYCLE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SELECT DELAY WIPER SPEED 1, 2, OR 3, THE WIPERS ONLY MAKE ONE PASS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THEY GO TO THE HOME POSITION AND DON'T MOVE AGAIN UNLESS THE WIPER CONTROL SWITCH IS AGAIN MANIPULATED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME AND STAYS IN WHILE DRIVING SCARY TO THINK IT MIGHT COME OUT ON ME.IT SAYS TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP SO I'D THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS

PERIODICALLY NO START WHICH LEAVES ME STRANDED VERY FAR FROM HOME WHEN TRAVELING FOR SP. MED. CARE. THIS SUMMER I WAS CROSSING AN OVERPASS TO ENTER THE ON-RAMP TO MAJOR INTERSTATE WHICH MAKES ME CROSS IN FRONT OF 4 LANES ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MY CAR JUST DIED!! I WAS HEADED DIRECTLY FOR THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH MY FAMILY ONBOARD. I WAS STRANDED IN 100+ DEGREE WEATHER BEING DISABLED WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME NOW WITH 2 TEENS NEEDING DRIVING HRS FOR PERMIT I'M TERRIFIED TO ALLOW THEM TO DRIVE MY ONLY CAR. DODGE YOU NEED TO RECALL MY ENTIRE CAR AND REPLACE THIS WITH SOMETHING SAFE FOR MY FAMILY!

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO HAS TROUBLE STARTING ON THE FIRST START. MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN REGARDING THE ISSUE AND INFORMED ME THAT WE SHOULD TRY UPDATING THE SOFTWARE. THAT DID NOT WORK. DURANGO CONTINUES TO SPUTTER WHEN IT IS STARTED. IT EVENTUALLY DOES START EITHER ON ITS OWN OR AFTER ANOTHER TRY. WILL ATTEMPT ANOTHER SOLUTION AT NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED SERVICE.

SINCE MY CAR HAS HAD 74,000 MILES I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR "ABRUPT SHUTDOWNS". MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 1/2 A DOZEN TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHETHER IT BE ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY (LITERALLY HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE DURING TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY) OR TURNING A CORNER, IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND "FSW" FLASHES. ALL POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE OFF TO THE SIDE (IF I AM ABLE TO), OF I JUST SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROUTE, PUT IN PARK AND CONTINUE ON MY DRIVE. I HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOS THAT I HAVE TAKEN OF MY DASHBOARD, SHOWING THIS "FSW" (SHOWING MILEAGE). LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS DECEMBER 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION ON DECEMBER 24, 2019. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3068 RIVERSIDE DRIVE, MACON, GA 31210, 478-345-8899) AND WAS INFORMED THAT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE DASH AS WELL AS CHIMES NON-STOP. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. SCARY TO HAVE HAPPENING CAUSE CAUTIOUS THAT AIRBAG MAY GO OFF WHEN DRIVING .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH OR MORE, THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES FOR THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY START. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED RICK HENDRICK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1468 SAVANNAH HIGHWAY, CHARLESTON, SC, 843-352-6931), BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A REPAIR OR LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND VERIFIED WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,000.

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STOP RUNNING WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR WHEN MAKING A SLOW TURN. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HIT THE CURB.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY BEGIN TO STALL WHEN DRIVING AND POWER OFF. ONCE YOU LET YOU SIT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP KIND ROUGH AND THEN DRIVE FINE. THEN COUPLE DAYS LATER IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. MY WIFE WAS MAKING A TURN WHEN IT STALLED AND ALMOST GOT T BONED. WE TOOK IT IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT NO PARTS HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT FOR THIS RECALL NOR HAVE BEEN MADE. THEY TOLD.US TO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT EVEN THOUGH ITS ASKING G FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR AND WAS DENIED AND WAS TOLD I CAN TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER BUT THEY SAID THE SAME THING.

TRANSFER CASE SWITCHES FROM AWD TO AWD LOW ON ITS OWN WHICH CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSFER CASE WILL NOT SWITCH TO AWD LOW WHEN BUTTON IS ENGAGED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT ALL THE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING OF YOUR VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE SIMPLY BROKE UPON REGULAR DEPLOYMENT. THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON A LOW GRADE HILL, NOT A STEEP HILL. THE DEALERSHIP, KING'S DODGE, CINCINNATI, REPORTED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS WEATHER CORROSION TO THE COMPONENTS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD AN EMERGENCY BRAKE FAIL ON ANY OF MY PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLES.

TRANSMISSION COOLER IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV AND THE TRUCK JUST SLOWED TO A STOP WITH SEMI TRUCKS FLYING PAST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY

MY DURANGO HIT 130K MILES AND THE RPM WHERE GETTING TO ALMOST 5K BEFORE SHIFTING AND THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON FREEWAY AND IN TOWN . THEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A P306 CODE IS WHAT IT WAS GIVING ME . THAT'S A CYLINDER NUMBER 6 MISFIRE SO I HAD ALL PLUGS AN NEW COIL ON CYLINDER 6 AND PUT BRAND NEW INJECTORS IN AND IT RAN GOOD FOR ABOUT 5K MILES AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN SAME P306 . I'VE REPLACED PLUGS AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM . MY DURANGO IS A 3.6 I'VE READ A LOT ON THIS AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS ONE THAT HAS DEFECTIVE L HEAD ? I'VE PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN THIS SUV IDK WHAT ELSE IT IS I CANT DRIVE IT FOR TO LONG BEFORE ITS STARTS THE MISFIRE AGAIN .

I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE. MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT NOTHING FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IT HAPPENS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKS UP MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DIRECT THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO BUT I'M PUTTING THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AS THE DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH IN A DRIVE-THRU, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR AND THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE THE BATTERY WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE JUMPSTARTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. MAC HAIK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (11000 NORTH FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77037, (281) 301-5150) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 159,000.

NOTICED A "TAPPING" NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE ON RIGHT DRIVER SIDE. ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTED. TAPPING NOISE WOULD GET LOUDER AT IDLE AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE INCREASINGLY MISFIRING AT TIMES. THIS ISSUE AFFECTED DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE DIAGNOSED PROBLEM: CYLINDER 3 MISSFIRE/SEIZED LIFTER ROLLER, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO CAMSHAFT DAMAGE. AFTER REVIEW/INTERNET SEARCHING, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 5.7L HEMI ENGINES AND ATTRIBUTED TO EXCESSIVE IDLING. I NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH MY HEMI UNTIL MOVING TO VIRGINIA AND SUBSEQUENTLY SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON I-95 (EXCESSIVE IDLING). IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY ARE CONSUMERS NOT MADE AWARE AND MOREOVER, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM? THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO SPAN ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT USE 5.7L HEMIS, SPECIFICALLY DODGE MANUFACTURED VEHICLES.

IN THE LAST MONTH INCLUDING TODAY 10/28/2019 THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ABRUPTLY IN MOTION LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALL INTERIOR ACCESSORIES LIGHTS AND GAUGES REMAINED ON NO ACCELERATION VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED PUT IN PARK AND RE STARTED AFTERWARDS EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO WARNINGS NOTHING WE WILL BE TRADING IT IN AS WE FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OUR CHILDREN

RIGHT @ ABOUT 10 MILES AND HOUR THERE IS A CLUCK NOISE @ THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. DODGE TECHS CAN PIN POINT THE CAUSE. IT CAUSE SOME PERFORMANCE ISSUE BETWEEN 60 AND 75. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN MULTIPLE TIME AND THEY FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT. AFTER FIXING IT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. ALSO @120,000 I HAD A WORN CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS

IT GOES INTO 4LOW WITHOUT TURNING THE SWITCH ON. MAKES IT UNSAFE TO TURN SHARP AND FAST. WE REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCH AND IT STILL DOES IT.

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF DURING TURNS AND WHEN SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP. IT IS FRIGHTENING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER WHO TELLS ME THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL YET I HAVE READ SIMILAR CONCERNS AS MINE ON THE INTERNET WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING IT. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS BEFORE IT COSTS ME MY LIFE? IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT ONCE IS TOO MUCH.

THE 4WD MESSAGE STARTING DISPLAYING ON MY DASHBOARD, THE AWD/LO NEUTRAL LIGHT WAS ON, I TRIED FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL TO TURN IT OFF, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I TRIED AGAIN TO GET THE MESSAGE TO SHUT OFF BY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS THEN MY CAR BEGAN TO GO IN REVERSE, MY BREAKS WOULD NOT WORK, AND I HAD TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON. EVEN WITH THE CAR SHUT OFF THE CAR WILL ROLL, I HAVE KEPT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON AND WAITING FOR A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DURANGO'S AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL THESE FAULTY SWITCHES. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS I COULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL CAUSING DANGER FOR ANYONE AROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS SWERVING FROM LANE TO LANE TO IGNORE FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE HOWEVER, CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 233,000. *DT *DT *TR *DT *TR

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED EXITING THE SAME EXIT ON A RIGHT SHARP TURN AT THE SAME PART OF THE TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAD TO FORCE ALL MY WEIGHT TO TURN IT AND PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE SIDE. DODGE DEALER CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT WANTED TO KEEP CAR TO INVESTIGATE. I FILED A COMPLAINT AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH FIRST OWNER FOR THIS HAPPENING AND IT WAS SUPPOSIVELY FIXED, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ENTIRELY FIXED. I AVOIDED THAT EXIT THINKING I TEMPORARILY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIRD TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS ON A LEFT HAND TURN. NO ONE WAS BEHIND US SO WE AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED. CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY RESTARTED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN USING SAME CASE NUMBER FROM BEFORE BUT I WAS TOLD THERES NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. 4TH AND 5TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED TODAY , FIRST WAS AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC, NO TURN. I PRESS GAS AND REALIZED MY ENGINE WAS OFF WHILE ELECTRICAL STAYS ON, SO MY AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO WEREN'T EFFECTED. AND LAST I TURNED RIGHT INTO A DRIVE WAY AT WORK, ENGINE TURNED OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. THE FIRST TWO TIMES HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY EXIT. I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR THAT MY CHILDREN RIDE IN AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WANT TO HELP WITH PROBLEM. I DON'T MIND PITCHING IN TO HELP PROBLEM. I TRIED TRADING IN TO DODGE BUT DIDNT HAVE DOWN PAYMENT FOR NEW ONE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND, LOST POWER AND IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I GOT IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. I CUT ENGINE OFF AND THAT WAS IT. I TRIED TO RE START AND IT JUST KEPT TURNING OVER. IT IT ONLY HAVE 61,522 MILES ON IT. MANCANIC CAME OUT AND SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.

HAD THE FUEL PRESSURE RELAY RECALL REPLACED. IS NOT HAVING STARTING ISSUES AGAIN. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THE TICM AND IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE. CAR WILL SPIN AND NOT START OR START, RUN POORLY AND DIE.

THE ACTUATORS FOR THE AIR CONDITION GOING OUT.

HEMI V8 CAM & LIFTERS FAILURE DOE TO DESIGN FLAW HAD TO ALSO CHANGE OIL PUMP DOE TO METAL SHAVINGS GETTING IN THERE COSTLY REPAIR MINE HAPPENED AT 144,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WOULD HESITATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 501 N WEST END BLVD, QUAKERTOWN, PA 18951, (215) 536-0946), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

OIL FILTER ADAPTOR HOUSING RECALL - WHEN I TOOK THIS TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC HE STATES THIS HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR 6 MONTHS. PER THE INTERNET THIS AFFECT MODELS FROM 2011 TO 2019. THIS IS CAUSING AN OIL LEAK. THIS CAN CAUSE THE WHOLE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO THE EXHAUST.

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. BEFORE I WAS AT A PLACE TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY (TWO MILES) THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. SO THERE I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE 220 AMP ALTERNATOR HAD THE FAULTY DIODE LIKE THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE DIODE FAILED AND CAUSED A DEAD SHORT. THE ALTERNATOR SHORT RUINED THE BATTERY AND THE PCM. THIS IS THE T36 RECALL TO A 'T' BUT DODGE SAYS MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS IT'S NOT RECALLED. THE PARTS AND LABOR WERE 1411.88. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE TOW SERVICE BILL OR THE RENTAL CAR THAT I HAD TO USE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS BEING ALLOWED TO RIP PEOPLE OFF KNOWING FULL WELL ITS THEIR WORTHLESS PARTS AT THE ROOT OF IT ALL. NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY SHOULD SIT BY AND BE A SPECTATOR AS CHRYSLER ROBS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT OVER 1000 EACH. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND QUIT STICKING IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BUY THIS GARBAGE.

VEHICLE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TWO MILES LATER SHUT OFF WITH NO CONTROL OVER STEERING OR BRAKING. VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY THE T36 RECALL. ALTERNATOR OVERHEATED, RUINED THE BATTERY AND PCM. THE ALTERNATOR WAS SENDING REVERSE POLARITY WHEN TRYING TO JUMP START. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MODEL YEARS. IT SHOULD BE COVERED IN RECALL AND ISN'T. THIS PART HAS RUINED MY WHOLE MONTHLY BUDGET AND IS CHRYSLER'S FAULT.

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A RANDOM MISFIRE UNDER LOAD. MISFIRE IS INTERMITTENT, CAUSING DRIVABILITY ISSUES. POSES AS A POTENTIAL DRIVING HAZARD WHEN MANEUVERING AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY. FOUND OUT IT WAS COMMON FOR THE CAM AND LIFTERS TO FAIL AND THE V8 HEMIS FROM 2011-2012 ON ALL PLATFORMS.

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY NOT EVERYDAY BUT I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES A YEAR. WE ARE DRIVING JUST NORMAL DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WE HAVE NO STEERING LOSE ALL POWER HAVE TO COME TO A STOP AND RESTART VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED LUCKILY WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC PUT HIS SCAN TOOL ON IT NOTHING CAME UP. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW HAS BEEN TESTED ALTERNATOR TEST GOOD. MECHANIC SUGGESTED COMPUTER PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DODGE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL AWD AND IT WONT START I PUT MY KEY ON THE IGNITION AND TRY TO STARTED IT ONLY CRANKS AND NEVER STARTS

2014 RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE 14V-530 P54 WAS ADDRESSED ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, BUT WE KEEP ON HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING SUBSEQUENTLY SHUTTING OFF POWER STEERING ASSIST MAKING STEERING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, WE HAVE BEEN IN REAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS TWICE NOW, CHRYSLER DOES NOT FURTHER WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE TRYING TO START , THE VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING AND FUEL WHILE DRIVING AND WILL PREFORM A JERKING MOTION AS I CONTINUE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TRYING TO GET SOME FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY.THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM RELAY , I HAVE DONE RESEARCH OVER A DOZEN TIME TALKED TO CERTIFIED VEHICLE MEN AND IT IS A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S.

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM JIM PEACH FORD IN BREWTON ALABAMA FROM A GUY NAMED REGGIE I I WANT TO GET MY OIL CHANGE AND ME AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE KNOCKING NOISE GOT LOUDER AND AS I DROVE IT FOR A FEW WEEKS IT STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BAD TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A FURNACE ENGINE FOR $8000

'ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING, NO CRANK, NO START, FUSE M28 KEEPS BURNING OVER AND OVER,'

DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE, FUEL PUMP WILL NOT ENGAGE, VEHICLE STALLS, OR WILL NOT START

MY VEHICLE HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. RECENTLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE FOR WHATEVER REASON SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUSH THE IGNITION BUTTON TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT RUNS FINE. IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN JUST SHUT IT'S OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION AND THERE IS NO RECALL. HOWEVER; THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE VIA THE INTERNET THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT. I THINK FODGE SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. FUEL RELATED..ELECTRICAL?? LOTS OF QUESTIONS, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! SCARED FOR MY SAFETY!!

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A MISFIRE AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE FLATTENED THE CAM AND LIFTER IN NUMBER 2 CYCLINDER CAUSEING MOTOR DAMAGE. VEHICLE HAS 107,000 MILES ON IT WITH OIL CHANGES DONE BETWEEN 5,000 AND 6,000 MILES WITH MOBIL 1 5W-20 AND MOLAR OIL FILTER. VEHICLE WAS ESTIMATED AROUND $4,000 TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START IN THE MORNING. THE CONTACT JUMPSTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

5.7L HEMI ENGINE DEFECT: AT 105,665 MILES THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A FLATTENED CAM ALONG WITH DAMAGED LIFTERS AT NUMBER EIGHT CYLINDER. I SUSPECT THAT THE ADJACENT LIFTERS AND MORE THAN ONE LOBE OF THE CAM IS DAMAGED. DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE GROUP IS REQUIRING $1000 DEPOSIT TERADOWN FEE TO CONFIRM SUPECT AILMENT, TO BE APPLIES TO REAIR, IF AUTHORIZED. RANGE QUOTED BETWEEN $2000 AND $4000. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND SOME COST AS HIGH AS $4800. RESEARCH HAS ALSO SHOWN THIS DEFECT OF THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE IS NOT A RARE OCCURENCE. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCT FROM DODGE, IT WAS DENIED. VEHICLE IS IN SHOP. I WILL HAVE TO MOVE IF NOT FIXED TO AVOID STORAGE CHARGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT CRANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TRONCALLI CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (818 ATLANTA HWY, CUMMING, GA 30040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) IN 2014. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT OR THE PEOPLE HANDLING THE RECALL REIMBURSEMENT. I SENT IT IN ON SEPT 7TH AND NOW 90 DAYS LATER, 12 CALLS, PUT ON HOLD FOR 30 MINS EACH, AND NO ONE KNOWING ANYTHING. STILL NO ANSWER ON MY REFUND. WAS TOLD ON DAY 88 THAT THEY NEEDED SOMETHING ELSE AND NOW NO ONE CAN EVER ANSWER WHAT IT IS THEY NEED. SUPPOSEDLY THE CK IS CUT BUT NOT MAILED AND IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE NOV. I ALSO SENT IN PAPER WORK FOR MY PCM WHICH THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND AND I JUST GAVE UP ON THAT 1500 DOLLAR REPAIR. MY PCM HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS ONLY WHEN SOMETHING GOES OUT ON MY CAR. HOWEVER I AM TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM SOLVED ON GETTING MY REFUND FOR THE RECALL FIRST. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE WITH DODGE. NEVER TALK TO MORE PEOPLE THAT PLACED YOU ON HOLD AND DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP THEY JUST GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR EXIT THE ROAD VIA OFF RAMP OR TURN, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL CAUSING BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY. IT ALWAYS APPEARS TO BE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT A ROAD OR TAKE A TURN. I HAVE TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPS AND PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO START IT AGAIN. IT WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

HEAT SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPELLY. RIGHT SIDE REMAIN OFF , WHOLE SYSTEM STARTING DELAYED AND SUDDENLY STOP .

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THEN DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TURNING ON AN OFF RANDOMLY, THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT OUT. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. TRAVELING 45 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. STEERED THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. UNDER THE HOOD, IT LOOKED LIKE THE ALTERNATOR AND/OR BATTERY WERE SMOKING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO FOR A FAULTY ALTERNATOR BUT MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO MY DODGE DURANGO BEGAN LEAKING FLUID. AFTER SOME TAKING MY FRONT END APART I HAVE DETERMINED IT TO BE THE A/C CONDENSER-TRANSMISSION COOLER ASSEMBLY. DURING MY RESEARCH FOR DIAGNOSING THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED DOZENS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF OTHER PEOPLE SUFFERING THE SAME EXACT LEAK, IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE ON THE SAME EXACT MAKE AND MODEL OF A/C CONDENSER/TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER UNIT. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS PART.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO ABOUT 45 MPH, MY BATTERY LITE CAME ON, WITHIN A MATTER OF APPROX 2 MINUTES, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND WERE BLINKING AND ALARMING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, MY AC TURNED OFF, MY FASTEN SEAGHT BELT LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALARMED AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST POWER AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I QUICKLY TRIED TO HANOVER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ONTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKES WENT OUT THEN THE ENTIRE DASH/PANEL WENT OUT AS WELL AS MY HEADLIGHTS. THIS WAS 6 AM AND IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE. I GOT OVER THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND GET OFF THE BUSY STREET. I THEN HAD TO WAIT TILL THE CAR STOPPED ON ITS OWN AS THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. ALSO NO HEADLIGHTS. I TRIED TO TURN ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND THE WOULD NOT GO ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND GOT OUT AS I COULD SMELL BURNING OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ELECTRICAL WIRES. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I COULD NOT EVEN LOCK THE CAR AS THE KEY FOB DID NOT WORK. IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW AND I AM WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE INCIDENT WAS VERY DISTURBING AND UNSAFE AS I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. LUCKILY DUE TO THE TIME OF DAY, THERE WAS LITTLE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD NOT ENTERED THE FREEWAY YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNT ELECTRICAL ODOR. ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS SURROUNDED BY FLAMES. UPON A SECOND EXAMINATION OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT REMOVED THE BATTERY COVER UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED WITHIN THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD NOT SPREAD ELSEWHERE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED ITSELF (FIZZLED OUT). A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CROSSROADS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4510 WHITEHILL BLVD, PRINCE GEORGE, VIRGINIA 23875, (877) 360-5755) AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH REFERENCE NUMBER: 352-462-90. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,500.

CAR BEGAN MISFIRING WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN WOULD NOT MOVE ONCE STOPPED AND THEN PUT BACK INTO GEAR. ENGINE LIGHT AND FCW INDICATORS CAME ON. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS. PROBLEM RETURNED AFTER REPLACEMENT. NEXT DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE ALL 16 SPARK PLUGS WITH BOOTS. STILL DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS CHECKED TO FIND ANY LEAKS, NONE WERE FOUND, BUT A NEW CODE ORIGINATED TO RE-FLASH COMPUTER. COMPUTER WAS PULLED AND FOUND TO BE TAKING ON WATER AND CORRODING TERMINALS. COMPUTER WAS CLEANED AND RE-SEALED TO FIX PROBLEM. BUT COMPUTER IS LIKELY TO TAKE ON MORE WATER AND CORRODE AGAIN. TOTAL REPAIR WAS OVER 1600.00 AND 20 DAYS IN SHOP. INCLUDED DOCUMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE INITIAL SENSORS AND PLUG REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC INDICATED THAT BASED ON OBSERVATION, WIRES CONNECTING TO COMPUTER HAD BEEN WORKED ON IN THE PAST, LIKELY TO ADDRESS SIMILAR PROBLEM

WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY HEARD A LOUD POP, THOUGHT I HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING. CHECKED AND SAW NOTHING. PROCEEDED AND HEARD ANOTHER POP AND THE BACK TIRES BEGAN TO RUB. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION HAD SEPARATED FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THAT THE BOLTS WERE INTACT BUT THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE CARRIAGE CAUSING THE SUSPENSION ROD TO SEPARATE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IN 30 YEARS HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. COST OF REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO BE IN THE THOUSANDS.

THE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP AND THE WINDSHELD WIPERS WILL START TO GO WITH OUT DOING ANYTHING, THEN THE DASHBOARD FAILS AND POWERS DOWN AND THEN TRIES TO START BACK UP. IT CAUSED MY DURANGO TO LOSE POWER THEN POWER BACK UP. I DO HAVE A VIDEO THAT I WILL TRY TO INCLUDE PLEASE EXCUSE THE LANGUAGE IN IT.

FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IN THE STREET. I HAVE TAKEN THE CARE TO THE SHOP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THE CARE STILL STALL WHEN DRIVING.

VEHICLE IS STILL STALLING AFTER I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE RECALL HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE DEALER FIXED THE RECALLS AND THIS IS THE SECOND DAY MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL.

I HAD JUST STARTED DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY DASH STARTED DINGING AND MY TEMP WENT FROM COLD TO EXTREMELY HOT SO I PULLED OVER.THERE WAS PLENTY OF OIL AND WATER IN IT(I DOUBLE CHECKED).I STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT WENT COLD AGAIN,AS I STARTED DRIVING TO THE NEAREST EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY A FEW NOMENTS LATER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT,IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WOUNDNT LET ME GIVE IT GAS.IT SLOWED WAY DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY.I GOT IT OFF THE FREEWAY EVENTUALLY IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL THEN QUICKLY STARTED TO MAKE AN AWFUL SOUND.I STOPPED THE CAR AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND OPENED THE HOOD AND HOT SMOKE VAME OUT.AFTER I LET IT COOL FOR 2 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WOUNDNT START.IT WANTED TO BUT NO FUEL WAS GETTING TO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TOO.I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NO BLOWN ROD.THEY SAID OT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SOMETHING OR OTHER.I HAD IT TOLLED TO MY HOME 335 MILES AWAY WHERE IT SITS BROKE AND IT COST ME 300.00 THU AAA.TWO DAYS LATER ON 8/17/18 I GET A RECALL NOTICE ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE.THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR ALMOST CAUSED A HUGE MULTI CAR COLLISION ON I 30 IN TX. AND IT STRANDED ME IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD..

CAR HAS BEEN STALLING BUT THEN STARTING RIGHT BACK UP FOR NO REASON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES OR MAKE A SLIGHT TURN.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE STOPPED OR SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE STOPPED ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE WHILE MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.

THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL & SMOKE COMING FROM MY CAR. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF IT WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR $640. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR DIED ON ME AGAIN IN THE TURNING LANE OF A BUSY STREET AT 4PM. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A BOOST. I HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN WITH A RECALL ALTERNATOR BUT IT WAS FOUND THE ALTERNATOR ALSO BURNED OUT THE PCM. I HAD TO PAY $700 TO HAVE THE PCM REPLACED. DODGE/CHRYSLER RECALL DEPT ASSURED ME I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY & PCM. IT HAS BEEN 2.5 MONTHS & NO REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE SUBMITTED RECEIPTS 3 TIMES BY EMAIL & FAX. THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. IN 2015 THE TPM & BATTERY WERE REPLACED. I WAS NOTIFIED BY PHONE OF A SUN VISOR LIGHT RECALL BY A LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER IN MARCH BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THE MAJOR RECALLS WITH THE TPM, ALTERNATOR OR BRAKE BOOSTER.

THE ALTERNATOR CAUSES MY TRUCK TO STALL AT TIMES, AND NOT START AT OTHER TIMES, I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO BATTERIES AS A RESULT OF THIS. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, I COULD TELL THAT IT WAS SLUGGISH, AND THIS MORNING WOULDN'T START, THEN, NEXT THING YOU KNOW, IT STARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING) AND 17V572000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A COMPLETE LEMON, HEADLINER CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, DUE TO RECALL ON VISORS WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. ALTERNATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO RECALL THEY HAD NO FIX FOR..ENGINE HEADS REPLACED, RECALL...TOTALLY UNSAFE, AS MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTS STEERING, WHEN ALTERNATOR WENT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A "TAIL LIGHT OUT' MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FREQUENTLY, AND THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS WOULD FAIL TO ILLUMINATE DUE TO THE WIRING OVERHEATING AND CONDENSATION WITHIN THE CASINGS.

ALTERNATOR SMOKING AND WINDING NOISE AND BATTERY LIGHT AND ALL DASH LIGHTS ON LOSS OF ALL POWER AND DRAINED BATTERY WHILE DRIVING

MY CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 50 MPH. A LIGHT COMES ON SAYING FCW OFF AND MY WHEEL LOCKS AND MY CAR STOPS. I AM CURRENTLY 8 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR. I HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I TURNED MY CAR ON THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME MOVE IT UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT'S FINE. THIS IS A LARGE CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK EVERYDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP AND CRASHED INTO A BARRICADE POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED KNEE INJURIES; HOWEVER, MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED STEW HANSEN DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP AT (515) 331-2900 (LOCATED AT 12103 HICKMAN RD, URBANDALE, IA 50323) AND WAS ADVISED TO HAVE HIS INSURANCE COMPANY TEST THE AIR BAGS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SPECIALLY WHILE TAKING A TURN. THIS CAUSE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER IN THE CAR INCLUDING THE BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPENNING IN THE LAST TWO YEARS CAUSING A BIG RISK OF LOSING MY LIFE IN A CRASH. THE CAR DEALER AUTOCENTRO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR IN THIS MATTER. THIS MAKES MY CAR VERY DANGEROUS AND IMPOSSIBLE TO SELL, I NEED HELP.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD. WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. NO POWER. NO POWER STEERING. MANAGED TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER AND RESTART. WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE PROPER MONTH FOR THIS RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW

ON 4/16/18 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO PHILLIPS CJDR TO TAKE CARE OF A MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE RECALL IS FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE (T36/NHTSA 17V-435.) WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED THAT NO SAFETY INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO IT BEING RELEASED BACK TO ME. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND IT DIDN'T SEEM AS IF IT WAS DRIVING RIGHT, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT JUST NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN. THE NEXT TIME WE DROVE THE VEHICLE WAS 4/25/18, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO DROP MY CHILDREN OFF AT SCHOOL WHICH IS ONLY 7 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. IT APPEARED TO BE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING NO POWER. AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE IT STARTED WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE HAD NO ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS AND WOULD NOT START. 5/5/18 MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED WHAT HAD BEEN GOING ON. I INFORMED HIM THE VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR AN ALTERNATOR RECALL. WHEN HE SAW MELTED WIRING AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS HE TOLD ME TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO DODGE. 5/11/18 I CONTACTED PHILLIPS DODGE AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AT HAND. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER GARY INFORMED ME TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK THERE ASAP. 5/14/2018 I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE TIPM AND PROVIDED ME WITH A QUOTE TO REPLACE THE PART. I ASKED HIM WHAT WENT WRONG WITH IT AND HE NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINE WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IN THE TIPM. BUT THEY COULD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS A REPAIR I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND NOT LINKED TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR A RECALL ON A PART DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING.

THE LAST RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS THE P54 FUEL RELAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHERE IN THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE REASON I SUSPECT THIS IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS LOTS OF INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, POWER LOCKS OPEN ON THEIR OWN, VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING AT TIMES AND THEN STARTS RIGHT UP MOST OF THE TIME, AND ALL WITHOUT A WARNING OR ERROR CODE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY THIS MORNING AS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AGAIN NO ERROR CODES OR WARNINGS. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPENED BECAUSE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE CAN TURN OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND WITHOUT WARNING.

TODAY'S DATE IS APRIL 10, 2018. OUR 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL BEGAN STALLING AND THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON FEBRUARY 25, 2018. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 8TH, 2018 AND THEN AGAIN ON APRIL 9, 2018. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THERE IS NO WARNING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED MY WIFE WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND ALMOST ENDED UP IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS MAKING A STOP AFTER GETTING OFF AN EXIT RAMP. AND THE MOST RECENT TIME, 4/9/18, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THE LAST TWO TIMES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER, INCLUDING BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, WHICH PROVES A LITTLE CHALLENGING IF MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. I CALLED CHRYSLER IN THE US BUT BECAUSE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WAS NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY SHIPPED AND TITLED IN CANADA, THE US COMPANY PROVED NOT TO BE HELPFUL. ULTIMATELY, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE OWNED 4-5 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (2005 AND 2011 DODGE DURANGOS, 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WITH AN ENGINE ISSUE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, POOR CUSTOMVER SERVICE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM THE TPIM CONTROL MODULE, THE ALTERNATOR, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, ETC.

RECALL T36 2011 DODGE DURANGO WHILE DRIVING, MY DURANGO BEGAN LOSING POWER. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND LIFTED THE HOOD, SMOKE WAS POURING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR BURNED UP AND MY 3 MONTH OLD BATTERY WAS NOW DEAD. AFTER THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE REPLACED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS FRIED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS BURNED AND WERE EMITTING SMOKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE GWINNETT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (5054 US-78, STONE MOUNTAIN, GA 30087) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114, 000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES. STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

T36 ALTERNATOR. I GOT A RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE MY ALTERNATOR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY ALTERNATOR WAS NOT LISTED AS AFFECTED FROM MY VIN. A WHILE AFTERWARDS, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FRIEND IN THE CAR AND MY CAR SYSTEMS SLOWLY BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED BY TRIPLE A TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY CAR'S ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. I PAID $638.60 OUT OF POCKET FOR A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR. MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE EXACT REASONS FOR THE T36 RECALL. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING OVER FROM A CITY STREET AS MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. BUT HAD I BEEN GOING 60-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I COULD'VE EASILY LOST CONTROL OF THE FAILING VEHICLE AND PERSONALLY DIED. I HAVE TALKED WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY INSIST THAT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. AFTER HAVING MY CAR DANGEROUSLY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND CATCH FIRE, CHRYSLER PHONE OPERATORS DON'T SEEMED BOTHERED WITH MY SITUATION BECAUSE THE T36 RECALL IS "VIN SPECIFIC AND DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE." I'M WONDERING IF I NEED TO HAVE A LAWYER LOOK INTO THIS TO SAVE OTHER DRIVERS FROM DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS LIKE THE ONE I WAS PUT IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PREMATURE LEAK DUE TO THE POWER STEERING LINES THAT HAD FRACTURED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER (BOB BRADY AUTO MALL, 4025 E BOYD RD, DECATUR, IL 62521, (217) 876-3800) WAS CONTACTED TO ORDER THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED ONE TSB FOR THE EPS, BUT THERE WAS NO STEERING RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TO MEADOR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (9501 SOUTH FWY, FORT WORTH, TX 76140). THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER A 30 MINUTE COMMUTE AND ENTERING STOP AND GO DOWNTOWN MORNING COMMUTE TRAFFIC, (SLOW, DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) MY DURANGO BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INTO THE CABIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. ALL TEMP GAUGES SHOWED NORMAL. THE CAR BECAME INCREASINGLY HARD TO DRIVE, FEELING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. MORE SMOKE CAME FROM OUT OF ALL SIDES OF THE HOOD. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE AND CHECKING THE HOOD, I COULD SEE FLUID COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT - TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, THE ENGINE WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES. I DROPPED THE HOOD CLOSED AND RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. WITHING 15 MINUTES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS BURNED OUT, HOOD AND VARIOUS OTHER PARTS MELTED. CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE AGENCY.

THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE VERY SAME ISSUE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE REPAIR COSTED OVER $3000. THE ISSUE HAS STARTED AGAIN AND UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE $3000 TO GET THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM FIXED.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. I BOUGHT IT IN 2012. SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. I THINK IF I'M BOT MISTAKEN ITS BEEN SERVICE MORE THEN 10 TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TIPM IN THE PAST. WELL IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT RECENTLY IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THE GUAGES ON THE DASHBOARD WENT CRAZY. TURNING OFF AND ON ALL THE WARNING LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON AND OFF ALSO. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON ALSO. THE HEATER TURNED ON I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. AS I WAS DRIVING I COULDN'T EVEN CONTROL THE STEERING. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING LIKE MY CAR WAS POSSESSED. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A VECHICLE YOU SO MUCH MONEY CAN JUST DO THIS. I WAS SCARED FOR MY AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I TRIED MY BEST TO STAY CALM AND I JUST FOCED ON GETTING HOME. WHICH IS WHERE I WAS HEADED. I MADE IT HOME PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. NY CAR BARELY CLEARED TGE SIDEWALK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND WOULDN'T MOVE ANY FARTHER. IT WAS MAKING AN UGLY LOUD RUMBLING NOISE. AND IT STARTED SMOKING ALOT OUT IF THE EXHAUST. IT SHUT OFF AND HASN'T TURNED IN SINCE THEN. I SAT THERE TRYING TO CALN DOWN BECAUSE MY ADRENALINE WAS GOING FROM BEING SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN. AND ALSO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED SO ANY REPAIR COST WILL HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. I REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD MY HUSBAND I WANTED A DODGE DURANGO. BECAUSE IT WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE. NOW IT'S MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE. IF MY FRIENDS ASK IF I LIKE MY DURANGO AND IF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY BUY ONE I TELL THEM NO. THIS IS SAD BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DODGE FAMILY.. AND NOW IM SITTING AT HOME WITH NO VEHICLE TO GET MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. AND I CAN'T EVEN GET TO WORK EITHER. MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN. YOU WOULD THINK DODGE WOULD MAKE A DEPENDABLE CAR FOR THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT. MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED, BECAUSE OF HEADLINER FIRE, DUE TO SUN VISOR RECALL. SO, I PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, ALL KINDS OF STRANGE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER, NO LIGHTS NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS, NOTHING! LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. CALLED CORPORATE SAID IT WAS A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND PAY FOR REPAIRS AND BE REIMBURSED BY DODGE. IT ALSO RUINED MY BATTERY. CAR IS STILL BEING SERVICED SO DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED AS OF YET. I WILL UPDATE.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLINER. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING WIRING HARNESS, THAT WAS DAMAGED DUE TO SUN VISOR RECALL. IT WAS IN SHOP FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED. THE TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COLLISION WARNING CAMERA ALSO FAILED AND THE COLLISION CAMERA WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COLLISION WARNING SENSOR FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE COLLISION CAMERA SENSOR WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY CAR LOST ALL POWER!! WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT. WOULD NOT EVEN LOCK. NO LIGHTS, NO POWER AT ALL. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE MY COMMUTE HOME ABOUT 20 MILES AT NIGHT .

"DURANGO RECALL" MY DURANGO HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK OF A TRANSLUCENT/LIGHT GREEN SUBSTANCE. ONE SHOP INITIALLY DIAGNOSED IT AS A POWER STEERING LEAK, BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO AAMCO, THEY RECOMMENDED A NEW RADIATOR. NOI ONE HAS WANTED TO TAKE OFF THE GRILL WITHOUT CHARGING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, AND SO IU DECIDED TO REVIEW COMPLAINTS OF OTHER DODGE/JEEP OWNERS ON YOUTUBE. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF RESEARCH AND DISCOVERING DOZENS OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE, I HAVE DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE AC CONDENSER/TRANSMISSION COOLER UNIT. APPARENTLY, COOLANT WEEPS FROM THE UPPER RIGHT (AS YOU LOOK AT IT) OR FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE IF YOU ARE IN THE CAR, AND THE OIL FROM THE CONDENSOR/COOLER THEN SATURATES THE POWER STEERING LINES , THUS GIVING RISE TO INITIAL FALSE DIAGNOSES. BASED ON THE FACT THAT MY POWER STEERING LEVELS HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED WHILE PUDDLES OF TRANSLUCENT/GREEN SUBSTANCE GATHERS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND OIL PANS, I AM CONFIDENT THE CONDENSER/COOLER UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AND OUT TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO A SHOULDER LANE AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER (LAKELAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2875 MALL HILL DRIVE, LAKELAND, FL, 33810) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

2 SEPARATE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AFTER MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD 2 OTHER RECALLS REPAIRED. THE FIRST ONE IS T59 REGARDING A BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD. I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND IT JUST STATED 'IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL'. I START MAKING PHONE CALLS TO DEALERS AND EVEN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE PROVIDED PHONE NUMBER AT HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. WHEN I SHOWED UP TO MY APPOINTMENT, THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS RUDE AND ENDED UP TELLING ME THAT HE JUST PUT HIS LAST PARTS ON ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT. I SHOWED UP FOR NOTHING. SO I CALL AROUND SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2017 TO FIND A DEALER WITH THE PARTS. NOBODY HAD THEM AND NOT ONE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO BE IN A HURRY TO REMEDY THE RECALL, TELLING ME 'IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL'. WELL IT IS ACTUALLY, BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THE CARFAX REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST 7 MONTHS SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW IT WAS IN OKLAHOMA USED AS A RENTAL CAR FOR 17,000 MILES UNTIL IT WAS SOLD. IT WAS ALSO IN OKLAHOMA DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHERE IT'S RAINING AND SNOWING, FALLING PERFECTLY IN LINE WITH THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE TO THIS DAY HAS YET TO BE INSPECTED FOR NUMEROUS REASONS INCLUDING ALL CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS MISSING THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPLACEMENT AND LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. LOW AND BEHOLD, A WEEK AFTER RECEIVING THAT RECALL NOTICE, I ENDED UP IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN IN TIME AND HAD TO TAKE A POINT ON MY DRIVING RECORD AND POTENTIALLY HAVE MY PREMIUMS RAISED. NOT ONLY THAT, THE CALIFORNIA DMV HAS ISSUED ME A MANDATORY HEARING IN WHICH I HAVE TO RETEST IN ORDER TO DETERMINE MY ABILITY TO DRIVE. A FEW DAYS AGO, I RECEIVED A DIFFERENT NOTICE THAT NOW READS 'URGENT RECALL' AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, WHILE I DRIVE WITH ADEFECT

FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, RUNNING OUT OF CHARACTERS AND FILES NOT UPLOADING. THE VEHICLE HAS SLOWLY BUT INCREASINGLY BECOMING HARDER TO SLOW DOWN. DAY BY BY, THE VEHICLE REQUIRES MORE AND MORE BRAKE PRESSURE. NOT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP HAS PARTS FOR BOTH OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE (T59- BRAKE BOOSTER WATER SHIELD AND T-36 - ALTERNATOR AT EXCEPTIONAL RISK OF CATCHING FIRE.) MOPAR HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE EITHER. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA POLICY FOR AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS WHO ISSUE RECALLS, THEY MUST DO SO IN A TIMELY MANNER. FOR T59, THE WATER SHIELD AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY BEING ISSUES IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, COMING INTO JANUARY OF 2018 STILL WITH NO PARTS IS ABSURD EVEN MORE ABSURD THAN THAT IS THE T36 RECALL OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS, STATING THAT THE ALTERNATOR CAN POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE WHICH COULD ALSO LEAD TO A VERY DEVASTATING SITUATION. THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2017 AND IT IS JANUARY OF 2018 AND THOSE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATORS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. MY CAR HAS BECOME A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST WAITING TO GO OFF AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE DODGE IS TAKING THESE RECALLS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. I DO FEEL LIKE THE BRAKING ISSUE RECALL HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MY ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER, CREATING A POINT ON MY DRIVING RECORD, AND NOW A DMV HEARING FOR DRIVING COMPETENCY. THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED SEVERELY, WHICH COMPROMISES MY SAFETY, MY PASSENGERS SAFETY, AND ALL OF THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. DODGE/MOPAR SEEMS TO NOT CARE VERY MUCH ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND KEEP REFERRING ME TO THE DEALERSHIPS. IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN SINCE NOVEMBER BEFORE MY ACCIDENT TO HAVE THE WATER SHIELD EVALUATED AND BRAKES AS WELL FOR DAMAGE. AND GIVEN THE HISTORY OF RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ALONE, THE OTHER 2 RECALLS FOR VANITY MIRROR WIRING POTENTIALLY CATCHING FIRE AND ALSO FUEL PUMP FAILURE, MY DODGE MET THE CRITERIA FOR BOTH.

THE NEUTRAL BUTTON HAS BECAME STUCK WHICH SENDS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH TO SHIFT IN NEUTRAL FOR TOW MODE OR TO DRIVE 3-5MPH TO PUT IN LOW AWD SO I DID ACCORDING TO OWNERS MANUAL AND NOW THE TRANSFER CASE IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL FOR TOWING BEHIND RV NEUTRAL BUTTON IS STUCK SO NOW IT IS UNAVAILABLE TO DRIVE, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE A FAULTY NEUTRAL SWITCH IF YOU READ DODGE FORUMS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT: TELEGRAPH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM,LOCATED AT 12000 TELEGRAPH RD, TAYLOR, MI, 734-947-2300. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT: SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF GARDEN CITY, LOCATED AT 32850 FORD RD, GARDEN CITY, MI, 734-421-5700. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE DEALERS WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, SO THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO TO THE STORE THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO O'REILLY TO HAVE THEM TEST IT, IT SHOWED THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, I PURCHASED A NEW ALTERNATOR FROM THEM AND WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF LEAVING O'REILLY MY DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. SOME PASSER-BY'S HELPED PUSH MY CAR INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE MY HUSBAND MET ME AND INSTALLED THE NEW ALTERNATOR, STILL THE CAR WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE HOUSE AND KEPT IT ON A CHARGER (ADVICE FROM THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER) AND STILL THE NEXT DAY NOTHING, MEANWHILE RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND SAW THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG DODGE DRIVERS. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR ALTERNATOR HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE CAR SAID KEY NOT DETECTED THE FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER BEING CHARGED ALL NIGHT. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC, THEY SAID THE PCM AND THE BATTERY WERE FRIED AND HAD TO TOW IT TO DODGE FOR THE NEW PCM. SO A NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW PCM AND BATTERY, THEN FINALLY MY CAR WAS RECALLED 8/2017. I WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE STATING IF I HAD ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND TO SEND IN MY RECEIPTS AND I WOULD HAVE PAYMENT IN 60 DAYS. AT DAY 78 I CALLED THE FCA ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD EVERYTHING TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK, I CALLED BACK IN A WEEK THEY WANTED MORE DOCUMENTS WHICH I HAD ALREADY SENT, BUT UPLOADED AGAIN, I CALLED THEN EVERY OTHER DAY FOLLOWING UP JUST TO BE TOLD YESTERDAY MY REQUEST IS DENIED. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THE FAILED ALTERNATOR CAUSED THE PCM AND BATTERY TO FRY, SO THEY ARE NOT REIMBURSING ME FOR ANYTHING. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK WISHFUL THINKING OUT $1779 FOR NOW

MY ALTERNATOR SHORT CIRCUITED AND SMOLDERED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET WITH MY 3 YR OLD IN THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SON AND I OUT OF THE CAR LUCKILY. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC IT WAS REPLACED FOR OVER $1100! HOWEVER, MY ON-BOARD COMPUTER MAY HAVE POTENTIALLY FRIED AS WELL SO IT IS CURRENTLY AT A CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALER. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THE ALTERNATOR WAS RECALLED. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER'S SERVICE AND THEY STATED THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL "ANY DAY" SINCE I NEVER DID. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT FOR THE REPAIRS AS WELL AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED "IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO." THIS RECALL WAS ON 6/9/17. IT IS DECEMBER! THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS AS STATED BY MY DEALER AS THEY SAID "PARTS FOR THIS RECALL WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST OF THE YEAR." THIS IS NEGLECT AND LAZINESS ON THE PART OF EITHER THE DEAL OR CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE! IF MY SON AND I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN WORSE! HOW, AFTER 6 MONTHS, IS THERE NOT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS MAJOR RECALL?!?!?!?!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON, THE INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE AGAIN. THE DAY AFTER THE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED, WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REVERSING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED, THE LIGHTS FLASHED, AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER.

THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V572000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER (ALL AMERICAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT OF SAN ANGELO, 4310 SHERWOOD WAY, SAN ANGELO, TX 76901, (325) 284-3032) INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ON 11/27/17.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE TO PARK IN A PARKING AREA, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204, (425) 267-9000) AND THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART AND THE BATTERY. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE AND STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS OUT SEPTEMBER AND HERE IT IS NOVEMBER AND I HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I FOUND THE RECALL ON LINE.

UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION THESE IS A RATTLING/ VIBRATION FROM FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. TYPICALLY BETWEEN 1000-3000RPM IN ANY GEAR OR ROAD CONDITION. SOUND IS EASILY AUDIBLE FROM INSIDE FROM ALL PASSENGERS. HAVE REPLACED WHEEL BEARINGS, STRUTS, SWAY BARS TRYING TO FIX WITH NO LUCK. 5.7 HEMI, AUTOMATIC, AUTO AWD/4LOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CRISWELL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT IN GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND 20878 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT IN THE TRUCK CAUSING IT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP WHICH WAS FIRESTONE ON CENTRAL IN SOUTH PHOENIX. DODGE REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL THAT THE ALTERNATOR MAY CATCH FIRE. AFTER 5 MONTHS, PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ON A LONG TRIP.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY JUMPS INTO 4LO, SO I TOGGLE WITH THE AWD TRANSFER CASE SWITCH, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DOING SO IT FINALLY STARTS DRIVING RIGHT. IT HAPPENED WITH MY WIFE AND SON, AND THEY WERE ALMOST WIPED BY A 18 WHEELER WHEN IT JUMPED INTO 4LO AND SLOWED DOWN ABRUPTLY AND THEN JUST DIED ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, NOW THE TRANSFER CASE IS DAMAGED, AND THE TRANSFER CASE SWITCH IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY. IT GOT SO BAD THAT IT STOPPED CHANGING GEARS, IT WOULD ONLY GO TO PARK, BUT IT WOULDN'T ENGAGE BECAUSE OF THE SWITCH CANCELLING OUT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR.

MY DODGE DURANGO GOT AN ERROR ON THE DASH, INDICATING A CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING BURNING. SINCE THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (T36) FOR A FAULTY ALTERNATOR I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK YET. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LIKELY THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD FAILED. THE TECHNICIANS SUBSEQUENTLY TOLD HER IT WAS LITERALLY SMOKING AND THAT IT HAD DEFINITELY FAILED, AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER OF THE SUSPECT ALTERNATORS AS THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE NEW ONES FROM DODGE YET. DURING THE 5 DAYS THEY HAD MY CAR THE TECHS REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, BUT THE SYSTEM WAS STILL NOT CHARGING. THEY THEN FOUND THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED, PRESUMABLY DUE TO THE FAULTY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS SHORTED INTERNALLY. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE CHARGING SYSTEM WAS STILL NOT WORKING SO THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PCM (PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER MODULE) HAD ALSO FAILED. THE SERVICE ADVISER CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER REP TO GET APPROVAL FROM CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THIS EXPENSIVE PART UNDER THE RECALL. THE REP CLAIMED THAT, SINCE THE INLINE FUSIBLE LINK ON THE CABLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE PCM HAD NOT BURNED UP, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD CAUSED THE MODULE TO FAIL. (THERE WERE ZERO ISSUES WITH MY CAR PRIOR TO THAT ERROR LIGHT COMING ON.) HE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THAT ALL THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WERE A HUGE COINCIDENCE AND DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T AGREE AND WAS CERTAIN THE ALTERNATOR HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE. THEY WENT AROUND THE REP AND GOT IT COVERED UNDER AN EMISSIONS WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I HAD TO PAY A $150 DEDUCTIBLE WHICH IS WRONG. THIS RECALL POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF CAUSING A FIRE, LOSS OF ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DENY SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE RECALLED ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $150.

WHEN I SHUT OFF ENGINE AND EXIT THE VEHICLE, I LOCK THE DOORS. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN MY POCKET AND WALK AWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL EITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK JUST BY WALKING WITH THE KEY IN MY POCKET. MOST RECENTLY, WHEN WALKING WITH IN POCKET, THE FRONT WINDOWS ROLL DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO BE MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (4807 KIRBY DR, HOUSTON, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PREVIOUS REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE TRANSFER CASE IN MY VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE. THE INTERNAL CHAIN WOULD SLIP ON ACCELERATION AND THE RATE OF ACCELERATION WOULD BE LIMITED BY THIS EVENT. IT WOULD OCCUR ON MILD TO HARD ACCELERATION BUT SLOW ACCELERATION IT WAS NOT NOTICED OR DID NOT OCCUR. MY THEORY IS ON MILD TO HARD ACCELERATION MORE POWER IS TRANSFERRED TO THE FRONT WHEELS THUS PUTTING MORE ENERGY INTO THE FAILING CHAIN CAUSING THE SLIP. YOU COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE DEEP THUD/CLICKING NOISE AS THIS HAPPENED. BECAUSE IT LIMITED ACCELERATION THIS IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS WHEN CROSSING FREEWAYS WITH CARS GOING 50-70 MPH AND YOU NEED TO MAKE A CROSSOVER. MY FAMILY DOES THIS DAILY. THE REPAIR WAS DELAYED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC COULD NOT OBTAIN THE PARTS. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE MOPAR DEALERSHIP NETWORK ANYWHERE. THE MECHANIC EVENTUALLY HAD TO LOCATE A USED PART, ARRANGE DELIVERY, AND REBUILD A FUNCTIONING TRANSFER CASE FROM MY OLD ONE AND THE SALVAGED PART. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE AND THAT IS WHY THE PART WAS DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN, THE COST WAS CONSIDERABLY MORE, AND THE REPAIR RAN SEVERAL EXTRA DAYS. HIS INITIAL ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR WAS $1600. THE FINAL BILL WAS $2500. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED ON THE THURSDAY MORNING 8/17/17 WITH AN EXPECTED DIAGNOSIS BY THE END OF THE NEXT DAY. ON 8/18/17 THE EMPLOYEES TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE PART. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON 8/14/17 APPROXIMATELY 2 DAYS LONGER THAN EXPECTED BECAUSE OF THE PART AVAILABILITY.

DRIVING ABOUT 1 MILE AND AIR CONDITIONER BY ITSELF WENT TO A LOWER SPEED, KEPT DRIVING FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MILES AND PROCEEDED TO GET ON FREEWAY WHEN DID SO, DRIVERS SEATBEALT FLASHING THAT WAS NOT BUCKLED THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE FLASHING AND THE AIR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT WAS HOT SO PROCEEDED TO ROW DOWN WINDOWS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO, ALMOST LIKE LOST POWER.. GOT OFF FREEWAY ( THANK GOD) AND GOT TO A STOP IN A SAFE PLACE, SMELT SOMETHING BURNING, TURNED OFF CAR WHEN DID SO WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT CRAZY AND THEN SAW SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE. WAITED FOR AAA IN MEAN TIME TRIED TO START CAR BACK UP AND WOULDN'T BUDGE CLICKING SOUND (LIKE ALTENATOR) TRYING TO START CAR THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, COMPLETELY DEAD!!!

YESTERDAY I STARTED MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO UP ON MY LUNCH BREAK. THE VEHICLE THEN OMITTED A HIGH PITCH SOUND. IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE SIRENS, AND THE SOUND GOT LOUDER AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE. ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER THE NOISE, MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY WORK 5 MINUTES LATER, I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ALTERNATOR ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED A LITTLE OVER 3 HOURS WHEN HE ARRIVED TO MY WORK. HE POPPED THE HOOD, AND SMOKE HAD FILLED UP IN THERE. HE COULDN'T TELL WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM BECAUSE IT WAS EVERYWHERE. HE EVENTUALLY GOT INTO THE VEHICLE UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY. AT THAT POINT WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TRIED TO GET THE KEY FOB INTO THE IGNITION, IT WOULD NOT GO IN WITHOUT FORCE, AS SOMETHING HAD MELTED INSIDE THERE AS WELL. I CHECKED THE NHTSA DATABASE FOR ANY PROBLEMS, WHERE I DID FIND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, AFTER ENTERING MY VIN#, THE RECALL SAID IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER, AS THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT TO BE A DEADLY SCENARIO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, THE STEERING SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHAMPLAIGN DODGE (LOCATED AT 1906 MORELAND BOULEVARD, CHAMPAIGN, IL 61822, (217)352-4273) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,500.

ON AUGUST 19TH I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ALONG WITH MY SEATBELT WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO GO ON AND OFF. MY RADIO AND MY CONTROL PANEL STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. ALSO THE AC STOPPED WORKING, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS RUNNING BUT NO AIR FLOW WOULD COME OUT. THEN I BEGAN TO HAVE NO ACCELERATION. WE RESEARCHED THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATORS FOR MY 2011 DURANGO BUT BECAUSE NOTHING HAS BEEN RELEASED DODGE TOLD US WE ARE ON OUR OWN. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD NO WARNING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND MY KIDS ARE WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING, A LOAD WHINING NOISE STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SHORTLY AFTER, THE A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. WE STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND IT WAS VERY HOT. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REMOVED AND THE BATTERY POST HAD A SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE DURANGO WITH 53000 MILES ON IT. THE ALTERNATOR HAS WENT OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V435000 THAT DESCRIBES MY VEHICLE PERFECTLY, YET MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. LUCKILY I GOT MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF DURING DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, ENGINE, ALTERNATOR THAT IS IN THE RECALL, YET THEIRS IS NOT INCLUDED. I REALLY HOPE DODGE/CHRYSLER EXPANDS THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT ISN'T JUST LIMITED TO THE VINS THAT THEY HAVE NOTIFIED. THE SYSTEM IS DEFINITELY MORE WIPESPREAD AND CAN BE PROVEN EASILY BY ALL THE COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. I HAVE CONTACT DODGE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL SO FAR. THIS WILL END UP COSTING ME ALMOST $900 ON A PART THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WESTBURY JEEP, CHRYSLER, DODGE, RAM (100 JERICHO TURNPIKE JERICHO, LONG ISLAND,11753 (888) 571-6211) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR MALFUNCTIONED AND OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND AN UPCOMING RECALL TO BE ISSUED ON AUGUST 24, 2017, BUT WAS NOT SURE IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS AWAITING A CALLBACK TO VERIFY IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE UPCOMING RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,300.

DRIVING HOME FROM A FAMILY TRIP 220 MILES AWAY MY 2011 DURANGO DASH LIGHTS AND GAGES WENT HAYWIRE FLICKERING ON AND OFF, WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN, AC WENT OUT BUT HEAT WAS BLOWING, LOUD HIGH PITCH SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE, RADIO WENT OUT, WIPERS GOING ON FULL SPEED AND COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF. FINALLY WE LOST POWER STEERING, PARKED AND THE CAR SHOOK BAD AS WE TURNED IT OFF. WENT TO TURN ON AND NOTHING IT WOULDN'T START. AAA CAME OUT SAID ALTERNATOR WAS TOAST, REPLACED THAT THEN IT SAID BATTERY WAS DEAD,( COULDNT EVEN GET THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO TOW), SO REPLACED THAT. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 3 MILES AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN BUT THIS TIME A BAD SMELL (BURNING SMELL) CAME FROM UNDER THE PASSENGERS SEAT, BATTERY WAS MAKING A SOUND AND WAS EXTREMELY HOT! I HAD MY 3 LITTLE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS THING COULD HAVE BLOWN SO WE HAD IT TOWED! IT HAS 79000 MILES ON IT, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE, AND JUST HAD THE RECALL DONE ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR THAT SUPPOSEDLY PREVENTS THIS! THE DEALERSHIP HAS IT NOW. IVE JUST DUMPED $700+ AND IT DIDNT EVEN FIX IT! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS OR WORSE CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH US IN IT! THIS WAS MY FIRST DODGE AND WILL BE MY LAST ESPECIALLY IF DODGE DOES NOTHING TO FIX THIS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE A/C FAILED THEN THE RADIO AND THEN THE VEHICLE LOSS ALL POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. AN EYEWITNESS (FAMILY MEMBER) WAS CONTACTED AND ABLE TO ASSIST AND NOTICE THE BATTERY WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND THE POWER CABLE TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE EYEWITNESS DISCONNECTED THE ALTERNATOR, REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND DROVE TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE DEALER (RAM COUNTRY CHRYSLER, PLYMOUTH, DODGE, JEEP, LOCATED AT 36111 US -90, DEL RIO,TX, 78840) WAS CONTACTED AT 888-636-1505 WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL), HOWEVER THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE SCHEDULE TO BE BROUGHT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HOWEVER THAT SHE WOULD ESCALATE THE FAILURE BUT NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND STARTED SMOKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR LOST ALL POWER LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COST TO SAFELY AND GET OFF THE ROAD. MY PROBLEM IS I SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE BUT MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS MY FAILURE WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. NOT ONLY DID MY ALTERNATOR SHORT OUT AND ALMOST CATCH FIRE IT FRIED MY PCM. NOW IT SITS IN THE SHOP AND IS COSTING ME ALMOST $1500 TO FIX. HOW IS IT OK FOR THEM TO ONLY RECALL SOME CARS AND MINE HAS THE EXACT SAME SAFETY RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED

ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND I NOTICED THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. I TOOK PICTURES OF THIS WHICH ARE ON MY PHONE IF NEEDED. IT TOOK OUT THE BATTERY AS WELL RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE THERE BECAUSE ALL SYSTEMS WERE OUT.

I HAVE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, THE AIRBAG WARNING SOMETIME COMES ON, THE CAR DOESN'T START SOMETIMES AND STALL TOO. THE BACK DOOR OPEN WHEN NOBODY IS IN THE CAR. BACKUP CAMERA DOESN'T TURN ON SOMETIMES. THE LEATHER CRACKED IN ALL SEATS. LAST SUNDAY JULY, 23 2017 @ 2:00PM GOT ON FIRE. TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE.

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT MY WIFE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD, WHEN SHE PULLED OVER SHE FOUND THE ALTERNATOR SMOKING. SHE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF , BUT PARTS OF THE ALTERNATOR ARE BURNT. THE BATTERY WAS EXTREMELY HOT AS WELL TELLING ME IT WAS OVERCHARGING.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2011 DODGE DURANGO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BATTERY LIGHT HAD COME ON. WHILE WAITING IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED, LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF, ETC. THERE WAS A FAINT BURNING ODOR AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. COULDN'T REMOVE KEY AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULDN'T EVEN WORK! HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. ALSO BLEW BATTERY, ENGINE COMPONENT AND OTHER THINGS. SO FAR, IT IS NOT SHOWING UP UNDER ANY RECALL BUT HOPING .., I HAVE CALLED FAC AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT WORK. I GOT OFF WORK CAME TO VEHICLE ENTERED AND STARTED ENGINE AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE, A BUZZING SOUND CAME FROM UNDER THE DASH, THEN I BEGAN TO SMELL SMOKE LIKE BURNING WIRES OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL UNDER THE DASH. THEN I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (UNDER THE VEHICLES FRONT HOOD). BY THIS TIME ABOUT 1 MINUTE HAD PASSED WITH THE ENGINE IDLING IN PARK. I OPENED THE HOOD AND LOOKED IN TO SEE THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING AND RED HOT INSIDE. I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE IGNITION BUTTON, THEN CRAZY ELECTRICAL THINGS HAPPENED WITH LIGHTS DASH WIPERS AND ETC., THEN THE ENGINE DIED, AND THERE WAS NOT ANY POWER OR BATTERY EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR HAD THE FAMILY WITH ME. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUBURN TRANSMISSION AND AUTO REPAIR. PH. (253)737-5913 IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE ALTERNATOR WENT TO A DEAD SHORT AND KILLED THE BATTERY SO FAST, IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE. I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE SOME KIND OF FUSEABLE LINK TO PREVENT SUCH A THING FROM OCCURRING. THAT IS A MOST DANGEROUS DESIGN, FIRE PRONE.

FACTORY WIRED TOW PACKAGE NOT SETUP CORRECTLY. BUILT-IN BRAKE CONTROL WIRING HARNESS NOT RECEIVING VOLTAGE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED/NO VOLTAGE RECEIVED FROM STOP LIGHT SWITCH TO PORT/WIRING HARNESS.

ON JULY 3 I WAS DRIVING OUR VEHICLE ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. WE HAD BEEN ON VACATION AND FIGURED THE CAR HAD SAT FOR 10 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN AND JUST NEEDED A CHARGE. THE LIGHT INDICATOR CAME AND WENT BEFORE THE CAR STARTED DOING WEIRD THINGS: HAZARD LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, SEATBELT LIGHT, ETC. THE CAR QUICKLY LOST POWER AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP LEAVING US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A GRAVEL ROAD. WE COULDN'T EVEN RELEASE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT, IN TURN BURNING UP THE EMS SYSTEM. THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW. THE RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR WAS FOR A SMALLER AMP. OURS IS A 220AMP. THEY ARE TELLING US PRODUCTION OF THE PART MAY TAKE UP TO 10-12 MORE DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY. UPON DOING SO, I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I PULLED INTO AN AUTO ZONE IN SALLISAW, OK. I ASKED AN EMPLOYEE TO TEST MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. WHEN THE HOOD OF MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL WAS LIFTED, IT APPEARS MY 220 AMP ALTERNATOR WAS BURNING. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM IT AND IT HAD THE SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY ALTERNATOR DID BURN AND IT ALSO FRIED MY BATTERY AND THE PCM MODULE. ALL 3 REPAIRS AND LABOR COST ME $1,600, NOT INCLUDING THE TOWING OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT I'M NOT HE ONLY CUSTOMER WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE RECALL IS ONLY ON THE 160 AMP. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED. THE SERVICE GUYS STATED THAT THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION AND THAT MY CAR COULD'VE EASILY CAUGHT FIRE TRAPPING US IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ALTERNATOR CAUGHT FIRE AND THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTO-EXCEL IN AKRON, OHIO WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

ALL GAUGES RADIO AND LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT WAS OFF WHILE ACCELERATING TO SPEED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (DAVE GRIMMS) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO THE AMP BEING A 180 NOT A 160. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

ON JUNE 14, 2017 I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO HOME FROM WORK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A MALL PARKING LOT AND SUDDENLY THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR BECAME EXTREMELY HOT, SO HOT, I COULD NOT STAY INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I STARTED TO SEE AND SMELL SMOKE, SO I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD; AS I IT OPENED THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE AND I CLOSED IT TO SNUFF OUT ANY FIRES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY ALTERNATOR HAD GONE BAD. THE EXPLANATION I WAS GIVING WAS: THE SILICONE DIODES IN THE ALTERNATOR RECTIFIER BRIDGE MAY EXPERIENCE THERMAL FATIGUE DUE TO CYCLIC LOADING FROM THE ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING (EHPS) SYSTEM, EVENTUALLY RESULTING IN NO OUTPUT, REDUCED OUTPUT, OR A FULLY SHORTED TO GROUND CONDITION. THESE FAILURE MODES VARY IN THEIR TIME TO FAILURE AND WARNING TO THE DRIVER. DEPENDING ON THE FAILURE MODE AND TIMING, SYSTEM VOLTAGE MAY DROP TO CRITICALLY LOW LEVELS, DISABLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM/ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE/CENTRAL BODY CONTROLLER, OR A TOTAL VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN (IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT TO GROUND FAILURE MODE). I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. THE ALTERNATOR NOT ONLY FAILED BUT SHORTED OUT MY BATTERY, FUSES AND COMPUTER MODULE. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE AND ONLY RECEIVED AN APOLOGY.... DODGE HAS A RECALL P60 RECALL WHICH APPLIES TO 160AMP ALTERNATOR. THIS RECALL WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS A 180 OR 220 AMP ALTERNATOR BUT IF IT IS FAILING LIKE THE 160AMP ALTERNATOR THEN DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART.

MY CAR HAS BEEN UNEXPECTEDLY BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF ROADS FOR AT LEAST THE PAST TWO YEARS. MAYBE ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW. AND NOW HAT I THINK OF IT, AT LEAST TWO OF THOSE TIMES I WAS TURNING OR ATTEMPTING TO.TOOK IT IN WHILE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS VALID AND THEY SAID IT ISN'T COVERED. EVEN IF NOT, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS! IF I HADN'T OF RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM THIS MORNING, I WOULD HAVE BEEN CREAMED BY ABOUT TEN CARS COMING MY WAY. THE FCW LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. I HAVE DONE THE CLEANING THING AND OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS AN ISSUE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE BEING PLOWED INTO IN ORDER FOR THEM TO HAVE TO FIX IT?

BURNING SMELL COMING FROM FRONT VENT AREA.NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. CAR IS NOT HEATING UP..THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A POOF OF WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT FROM FRONT DASH SOMEWHERE? DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE AS I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT THE TIME. IT STOPPED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. GOT HOME AND BUTTON TO OPEN GARAGE NOT WORKING.ALSO BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING. DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL AND UNSAFE.SMELLS LIKE WIRES BURNING

MAY 2017 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2011 DODGE DURANGO WITH 68K WITH TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY DEAD SHORTLY AFTER. WE GOT IT TO AN ELECTRICAL SHOP TO FIND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR HAD STOPPED OPERATING. AFTER SOME RESEARCHING I FOUND A RECALL (P60) AND IT ONLY APPLIED TO 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER (CASE #31556595) TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP AND WAS DENIED. WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH COST ME $400.44. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK WITH NO SPECIFIC TIME OF DAY, HEAT OUTSIDE, DRIVE TIME ETC., MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO WILL ACT LIKE IT WILL START AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO TURN OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPS. EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT WILL START. WE CHANGED THE BATTERY THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THAT, BUT NOTHING...I HAVE READ A FEW "COMPLAINTS" THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS A TIPM PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL LIST, BUT IT IS WITHIN THE YEAR THEY ARE RECALLING IT.

ON 06/23/17 WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WITH IN THE NEXT MILE I TURNED TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO ENSURE EVERYTHING WAS OK MY DASH LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE AND EXCESSIVE HEAT STARTED COMING OUT OF MY VENTS AND A BURNING SMELL STARTED THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING OR RESTART. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY IS DEAD, THE ALTERNATOR IS DEAD AND THE PCM IS FRIED..... WHILE DO SOME RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS A RECALL THE P60 RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR FIR THE DODGE DURANGO YEARS 2011-2014 WHICH WOULD BE THE SAME VEHICLE I HAVE OTHER THAN THE ALTERNATOR IS 160 AMPS AND MY DURANGO HAS A 220 AMP ALTERNATOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED TO INCLUDE THE 220 AMP ALTERNATOR UNDER THE SAME RECALL AS THE P60, BECAUSE THE VEHICLES ARE THE SAME AND IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE I HAD IS THE SAME AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR.......

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHATSOEVER. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER, BRAKE, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, ROLL DOWN WINDOWS, UNLOCK DOORS, OR HAVE MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND HAD NO WAY TO SIGNAL TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT, WHICH IN TURN FRIED THE BATTERY AND POWERTRAIN MODULE. THE DEALER AGREED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN MODULE AT NO COST TO ME BUT THE REMAINING REPAIRS COST ME $1300. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT AS OF OCTOBER 2014 MORE THAN 435,000 VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED BY AN ALTERNATOR RECALL, INCLUDING CARS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MY OWN. I FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF CAR WHO EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR BREAKDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I CALLED CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE WORK. HAVING A CAR STOP DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. KNOWING THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE INDICATES TO ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL CARS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES AND TO BE SURE THAT OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR CRASH.

2011 DODGE DURANGO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE NOT BEING REPAIRED PROPERLY BY DEALERSHIP. *LD UPDATED 06/21/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN THE RAIN, WATER WAS NOTICED ENTERING THROUGH THE OVERHEAD MAP LIGHT UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING) AT DRIVER'S VILLAGE (5885 EAST CIRCLE DRIVE CICERO, NY 13039 (855) 254-5196). THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A SUN ROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE LEAKAGE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,326.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MARCH, THE ALARM OF BATTERY APPEARS AND IN SOME SECONDS THERE STARTED APPEARING SYSTEM ALARMS OF ASSISTANCE OF PARKING, AIRBAG, BRAKE, ETC. WHAT FORCED ME TO STOP ME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE ALTERNATOR FAILED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT GIVING ANY PREVIOUS INDICATION OF THE FAULT. ON HAVING CHECKED YOUR PAGE THE FAULT THAT HAPPENED IS THE SAME OF THE RECALL P60. NEVERTHELESS THE HAPPENED ON HAVING CHECKED SAFETY CAMPAIGNS OF MY VEHICLE FOR NUMBER OF VIN DOES NOT APPEAR ANY SLOPE.

ON THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 2017 I HAD JUST EXITED A MAJOR FREEWAY AND WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. AS I MADE MY LEFT TURN TO HEAD HOME ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON (SAYING SERVICE PARK ASSIST, DRIVER SEATBELT UNBUCKLED, ABS, AND MANY OTHERS) AS I CROSSED 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND IN TO A PARKING LOT I LOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE. I PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, OPENED MY HOOD AND IT WAS FULL OF SMOKE AND YOU COULD SMELL THE ELECTRICAL BURN FROM A FIRE. MY VEHICLE WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET LOADED ON TO A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT INTO NEUTRAL TO LOAD, THE WIPERS BEGAN GOING OFF, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS AND THE SMOKE BEGAN AGAIN AND STARTED TO FILL THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. BY THE TIME WE GOT IT HOME TO DROP IT OFF THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE AT ALL.

STARTED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND THAT'S WHEN MY TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAD ZERO PRESSURE. PULLED OVER, CHECKED IT, AND IT WAS STILL FULL. SO THEN I CALLED A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A BAD TIRE SENSOR. A FEW DAYS LATER MY PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED TO SHORT CIRCUIT WHEN TRYING TO ROLL IT UP OR DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THEN YESTERDAY MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THIS WOULD COME AND GO INTERMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING. NOW TODAY, AFTER PARKING AND TURNING IT OFF, I CAME OUT TO A COMPLETELY DEAD CAR THAT BURNS UP BATTERY JUMPER CABLES WHEN TRYING TO JUMP IT OFF ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR TWICE AND I'M NOW AT A REPAIR SHOP PREPARING TO REPLACE IT A THIRD TIME. THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD MY CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR - RC-P60-14. I'VE READ THE DESCRIPTION ON THE RECALL BULLETIN AND DISCUSSED WITH SERVICE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALER AS WELL AS THE SHOP I'M AT NOW. THEY BELIEVE MY ISSUE IS THE SAME YET CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY VEHICLE QUALIFIES. CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

FAULTY VEHICLE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND MY PASSENGER AND OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING BEHIND ME THAT REQUIRED A SHERIFF TO KEEP OTHER VEHICLES FROM WRECKING WHILE TRYING CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD AND ALL ELETRICAL FUNCTIONS STARTED GOING HAYWIRE ALL AT THE SAME TIME WHEN DRIVING ON A VERY WINDING CURVY BUSY BACK ROAD, LOST STEERING CONTROLL, ALL MESSAGE CENTER LIGHTS FLASHING AND WIPERS GOING ALL AT THE SAME TIME HOT AIR BLOWING THROUGH AC VENTS, THEN VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPS WHILE SMOKING ACTING AS IT SEEMED TO BE OVER HEATED OR SOMETHING BURNING. HAD TO MANUALLY GET DOORS UNLOCKED TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE QUICKLY BEFORE ANOTHER VEHICLE WOULD HIT US. VEHICLE KEY STAYED STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED OR PLACED IN REVERSE OR NEUTRAL TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY TO MAKE SURE OTHER DRIVERS WOULD NOT CRASH WHERE THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED, THIS HAPPEND WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WITH NO WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO HAPPENING. HOW CAN DODGE ONLY RECALL 2011 160 AMP ALTERNATORS AND NOT THE 2011 180 AMP ALTERNATORS THAT ARE CLEARLY PUTTING THE CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS LIVES IN DANGER FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED. THIS FAULTY ALTERNATOR ISSUE IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO ALL 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND COSTING DRIVERS TO ALMOST BE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND LOTS OF MONEY FOR REPAIRS. WHEN PURCHASING VEHICLES WE ARE TRUSTING THAT THEY ARE SAFE

TAMARA RECALL VEHICLE WON'T START WIPER KEEP GOING ON AND THEY ARE OFF IT HAS A BAD TIPM THE BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND SMELLED A BURNING ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, BLACK SMOKE APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT OBSERVED FLAMES; HOWEVER, AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER, THE FLAMES EXTINGUISHED ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THEM TO NHTSA. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN RT 18 NORTH IN THE COLTS NECK AREA OF NJ. WITHIN 10 MINUTES AFTER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MY CAR ACTED POSSESSED. THE STEERING LOCKED, BRAKES LOCKED, WIPERS CAME ON MOVING SLOWLY, THE HEAT CAME ON, ABS BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE PARK ASSIST CAME ON. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY AROUND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STOPPED ON ITS OWN. THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR WENT AND ALSO FRIED MY PCM. I AM CURRENTLY PAYING OVER $200 TO RENT A CAR. I AM BEING TOLD MY BILL WILL BE ABOUT $2000 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND PCM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE AND A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR IS ALREADY RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUES. DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEED AND YOUR CAR SUDDENLY COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH. THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR ISSUE I'VE RAN INTO AS I ALSO HAD MY BATTERY DYING MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL. ALSO, I LOST MY BRAKES SUDDENLY AND HAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE RECALL. I DO NOT THINK I WILL EVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN AS THEY DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ISSUES. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.

PASSENGER SIDE CONTINUES TO BLOW HOT AIR NO MATER WHAT THE SETTING IS ON. NO COLD AIR WILL COME OUT WHEN IT IS SWITCHED TO AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT TEMP CANNOT BE REGULATED.

MY GPS/RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS ARE HAVING TO BE CONSTANTLY REPLACED. MY TAIL LIGHTS I HAVE TO HIT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION AND WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED TEN TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED BUT THE SOFTWARE RELATED TO THE RADIO AND THE HANDS FREE MODULE WERE UPDATED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER TO DETERMINE A REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE PAID OVER $3500 IN REPAIRS ON THE DODGE DURANGO. I WAS TOLD AND HAD TO REPLACE BOTH CATALYST CONVERTERS AND ALL 4 O2 SENSORS. THEN THE STARTER WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO REPLACE IT. NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 3 WEEKS, I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED AND NOW IT APPEARS THE ISSUE MAY BE THE ALTERNATOR. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2011 DODGE DURANGO 3.6L, 160 AMP ALTERNATORS AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT AMP MY ALTERNATOR IS BUT MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE ALL THE SAME ISSUES AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE UNDER THE RECALL, YET MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCED FOR 3 WEEKS NOW HAVING TO GET RIDES TO AND FROM WORK AND HAVE HAD TO CANCEL DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND SCHOOL MEETINGS DUE TO THE FACT THAT BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I NEED A VEHICLE AND ARE HAVING TO SHARE 1 VEHICLE WITH 5 KIDS. OUR MOST RECENT ISSUE OCCURRED ON EASTER SUNDAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH ALL OUR CHILDREN, THE BATTERY SIGNAL APPEARED ON OUR VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. TO AVOID INJURY, WE HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR REVIEW. WE HAVE HAD 2 DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS GOING ON A 3RD AND NO ONE IS CATCHING ALL THE REPEATED ISSUES. WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYST CONVERTER 2 TIMES (NOVEMBER 2016 AND APRIL 2017), O2 SENSORS (NOVEMBER 2016), BATTERY (JANUARY 2017), STARTER (APRIL 2017) AND NOW OUR NEWEST ISSUE HAS YET TO BE REVEALED BUT IT APPEARS IT WILL BE THE ALTERNATOR (APRIL 2017). AT WHAT POINT WILL CHRYSLER TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE ISSUES WITH THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO. REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL WE HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR FAULTY ISSUES WITH THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO WOULD BE APPRECIATED. ALL THESE ISSUES DEVELOPED AFTER THE FAULTY TIPM THAT WE HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR 2X AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON DASHBOARD. VEHICLE THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. SOMETHING OVERHEATED, BECAUSE I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN OR EVEN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. THERE IS A P60 RECALL FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE THAT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MINE. THE RECALL AS OF NOW IS FOR ALTERNATOR WITH 160 AMPS AND I HAVE 180 AMPS. THIS TOO NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES.

DODGE DURANGO WAS STARTING WITH ISSUES 1 MONTH AGO WITH TURNING ON. WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON IT WOULD MAKE THE SOUND AS IF TRYING TO TURN ON BUT COULD NOT TURN ON COMPLETELY. AFTER 4 TO 5 TIMES OF CONTINUOUS PUSHING THE START BUTTON, IT WOULD FINALLY TURN ON, BUT THAN AT TIMES IT WOULD SHAKE AND SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO SUNDAY, I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN, MADE A COMPLETE STOP, THAN PUSHED THE GAS TO GO, BUT THE DURANGO WOULD MOVE. I PUSHED THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE DURANGO OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON ANYMORE. VERY UNSAFE. THE MECHANIC SAID HE BELIEVES IT IS THE TIPM BUT WILL BE RUNNING MORE TEST. I'VE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE FAILS TO START AND STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER TO ISSUE SAFETY RECALL TO INSTALL EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT ISSUE AND VEHICLE STILL FAILS TO START AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR, EACH TIME I CONTACT A DEALER THEY ARE STATING THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY ON A VERY BUSY STREET WHEN THE CAR MADE A WEIRD SIREN NOISE; THEN MY SEATBELT LIGHTS WENT OFF, MY PARK ASSIST STARTED FLASHING, MY TRACTION CONTROL OTHER LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, THE RADIO FLASHED OFF AND ON, THEN WENT OUT. THEN MY WIPERS WENT ON, AND THEN I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, AND THE CAR SLOWLY DIED. MY HAZARDS DIDN'T EVEN WORK, SO I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY STREET AND I HAD NO HAZARDS TO WARN ANYONE! A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR.

THE ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AT A GROCERY STORE AND IT JUST DIED LIKE TURNING OFF THE KEY. I TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD DO NOTHING. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WHAT THEY FOUND WAS A SHORTED ALTERNATOR. THE SHOP CHECKED FOR TSB'S AND RECALLS AND FOUND A RECALL FOR LIKE CONDITIONS ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND ISN'T COVERED. MY QUESTION IN THIS MATTER IS. DID THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR USE THE SAME RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR?

SUDDEN AND COMPLETE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WITH ENGINE FAILURE DURING OPERATION. FOR THE PAST YEAR WE HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL, AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD FLASHING AND FAILING WITH LOSS OF POWER.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. A FEW MINUTES LATER ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, THE WIPERS CAME ON, AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THE CAR WAS LOCKED, AND NOTHING WORKED. I TRIED TO JUMP START THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND DROVE IT HOME 3 MINUTES AWAY, AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I COULD SMELL A BURNING WIRE SMELL, AND THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE VERY HOT. I READ ONLINE ABOUT NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, AND THAT MANY HAD BEEN RECALLED. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR MYSELF AND THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG, BUT HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE AND IT BLEW EITHER THE FUSE PANEL, OR A PCM. THIS IS THE 3RD ELECTRICAL ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE BETWEEN 0 AND 57,000 MILES.

TIPM PROBLEM. ALL SORTS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY THE CAR ALARM GOING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I'VE READ COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ONLINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO REMEDY THIS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS AT LEAST $1,000. WHICH IS AN OUTRAGE SINCE CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 33,OOO MILES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!THIS HAS GONE ON EVER SINCE A SUN VISOR RECALL REPAIR.

VERY UNCLEAR HOW MY DURANGO WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MASS RECALL OF ALTERNATORS THAT IMMEDIATELY STOP WORKING AND START TO BURN. MINE DID JUST THIS, STOPPING MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO SMELLED BURNING AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP WHEREUPON THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE STILL DID NOT OPERATE. IT WAS THEN TOWED TO GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE AND THAT ALTERNATOR REMOVED AND ANOTHER PUT IN. THE VEHICLE ALSO INCURRED COSTLY REPAIRS TO THE COMPUTER (PCM) SYSTEM FAILING DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AT 85K MILES. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST, CLAIMING I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED BEFORE CALLING THEM. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER GAVE ME AN INDICATION THAT I SHOULD PROCEED THIS WAY.

2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL (63,365 MILES) JUST LIKE MANY OTHERS I'M HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE . MY WIFE HAD JUST PICKED MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL AND JUST AS SHE STARTS TO PULL OFF THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED GOING HAYWIRE AND SHUT DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY SHOWED UP TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION, OPEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR TO A SMELL OF BURNING WIRES. I THEN CALLED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. I GOT ON THE LINE (INTERNET) AND SEARCH AROUND ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY OTHERS BEEN HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME YEAR/MODEL CAR . THIS VEHICLE IS PUTTING FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH BEING DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT INCLUDE MY CAR IN THE P60 RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR'S ALTERNATOR WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE APART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS THE RECALL IN WHICH SOME OF THE DODGE DURANGOS HAVE A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT EVENTUALLY FAILS, UNEXPECTEDLY AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF YOUR ABS, ECM, PCM, BATTERY OR OTHER PARTS OF YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ON DEC. 26TH, 2016, I WAS DRIVING WHEN I BEGAN TO SMELL AN ELECTRICAL-LIKE, SMELL. WE FOUND OUT THAT MY ALTERNATOR FAILED AND THE NEXT DAY, IT BEGAN SMOKING AND SHOOTING SPARKS WHILE AT THE MECHANIC'S SHOP. I CALL DODGE, ASKING ABOUT THE RECALL (AFTER THE MECHANIC THAT WE HIRED DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES) AND DODGE SAID THAT MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT AMPHERAGE OF ALTERNATOR TO BE INCLUDED (THE RECALL INCLUDES 2011 DODGE DURANGOS WITH A 3.6 L ENGINE AND 160 AMP ALTERNATORS ONLY). HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR THAT THE MECHANIC REMOVED AND REPLACED WAS THE CORRECT # OF AMPS FOR THE RECALL (160 AMPS), EVEN THOUGH THE FACTORY SPEC SHEET FOR MY TRUCK (WHICH WAS READ TO ME BY A STAFF MEMBER AT DODGE CORPORATE'S RECALL LINE) SAYS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT # OF AMPS (MY TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 220 AMP ALTERNATOR ON IT, BUT WHEN THE ALTERNATOR FAILED, THE MECHANIC REMOVED A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR OFF OF IT). NOW I HAVE ABOUT $1500 WORTH OF REPAIRS FOR THIS TRUCK AND NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. MY TRUCK EITHER HAS A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR THAT THE PRIOR OWNER OF MY TRUCK PUT ON IT WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY CREATED THE P60 RECALL PROBLEM OR DODGE SCREWED UP AND PUT THE WRONG ALTERNATOR ON (A 160, INSTEAD OF A 220) OR THE WRONG INFO ABOUT MY ALTERNATOR IS INCLUDED ON THE FACTORY SPEC SHEET. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN CUSTOMER WENT TO START VEHICLE MADE A TIPPING NOISE WHEN WIPERS TURNED ON THEMSELVES. DRAINED FIRST BATTERY (INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS CONCERN). TIPM SHORTED INTERNAL TO ASD RELAY POWER PCM SHORTED ON GROUNDED SIDE TO TIPM.

WIFE WAS DRIVING AND BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON AFTER FEW MILES SHE STOPS ON MY DAUGHTER WORK ( GHIRARDELLI WAREHOUSE IN LATHROP CALIFORNIA ) SHE CALLED ME SAYING THAT VEHICLE WAS SMOKING, SHE AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR WAS BURNING, WHEN IT WAS CHECKED ALSO THE BATTERY WAS DAMAGE AND THE FUSE BOX, I ASKED MANTECA CA CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAN REPAIR THE VEHICLE IN MY OWN COST BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT I KNOW THAT THIS HAPPEN ALREADY IN OTHERS DODGE DURANGOS THAT'S WHY IM WRITING THIS COMPLAIN. MY VEHICLE DODGE DURANGO CREW ALL AWD 2011. *TR

AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ACTIVE. CODES BEING GENERATED ARE B1C2D AND B1D9B54. PERTAINING TO DRIVERS SIDE SEAT THORAX AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED RAPIDLY AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE POWER SEIZED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN ONCE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE REMEDY FROM THE RECALL CAUSED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50MPH ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE HEATING SYSTEM TURNED ON UNEXPECTEDLY. APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A TURN LANE WHERE THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DIED SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. SEVERAL VEHICLES ALMOST COLLIDED WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT MY 180 AMP ALTERNATOR (NOT COVERED UNDER THE OTHER ALTERNATOR RECALL) FAILED WHICH DAMAGED THE SERPENTINE BELT, IDLER, AND TENSIONER PULLEYS, BATTERY, AND PCM. ALL THESE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ADDED UP TO $2400. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME SINCE AUGUST 2016- SO 3 TO 4 MONTHS TIMEFRAME- MY DODGE DURANGO HAS DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THIS MEANS A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING, LIGHTS, POWER, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN BARELY MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT CRASHING. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED UP REGARDING THIS. THEY HAVE RECALLS AGAINST THE ALTERNATOR BUT ARE NOT HONORING THEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAS HAD CAMPAIGN 14V530000 (AND ALL OTHER RECALLS AND POWERTRAIN TSB'S) PERFORMED. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND RURAL ROADS, ENGINE SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AND ONLY A COUPLE BRAKE ACTUATIONS BEFORE BRAKE ASSIST IS LOST (OCCURRED BEFORE TIPM CAMPAIGN, STILL SHUTS OFF AFTER CAMPAIGN). TYPICALLY OCCURS DURING COASTING OR MILD BRAKING WHEN PREPARING TO ENTER A TURN (DOES NOT MATTER IF RIGHT OR LEFT TURN). NO "CHECK ENGINE," ALTERNATOR, OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH (AS THEY WOULD IF THE ENGINE STALLED) -- IT IS AS IF IGNITION SWITCH WERE IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF. OCCASIONALLY WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GIVES A FORWARD COLLISION WARNING DISABLED WARNING (BUT THE FCW DOES NOT BEEP, ALERT, SIGNAL, ETC. BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, AND THERE WAS NO OBSTACLE TO SET OFF OR BLOCK THE FCW). SINCE ENGINE SEEMS TO SHUT OFF, THERE ARE NO CODES ACTIVE OR STORED AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. REPEATED TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE, OR CAUSE THE ISSUE TO OCCUR. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THURSDAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHY I WAS DRIVING MY DURANGO THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND EVERYTHING KEPT BLINKING AND MESS UP. WHY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BATTERY SO 4 PEOPLE GAVE A JUMP. THE CABLES WIRES START BURNING MELTING OFF. IT HAPPEN FOUR TIMES. I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW THEY TRYING TO MAKE ME COME OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THE FACTORIES MESS UP ON. I DON'T THINKS THIS IS FARE. THE DODGE DURANGO IS DANGERS. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT I WOULDN'T PURCHASE IT IF I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS OR KILL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE AND FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V879000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INTERIOR LIGHTING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING A COUPLE TIMES. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

THE LIFT GATE WILL NOT STAY OPEN. IT HAS INJURED A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING STRUCTURE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND THE COOLING SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

ON NO 1, 2016 WHEN I WAS GOING AT WORK, I WAS DRIVING ON WEST PARK HWY (HOUSTON, TX), AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ALL THE SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING, AND THE FRONT CAR STARTED SMOKING (BURN, & FIRE). AND I SURVIVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. I CALL THE TOWING SERVICES SO AS TO MOVE THE CAR FROM THE HWY TO MY HOUSE. AND I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. BUT THE CONSTANCY IS, MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE UNTIL NOW. AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT SOME EXPERT SO AS TO ASSESS THE RISK, AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED IS THE DEFECT OF THE CONSTRUCTOR (CHRYSLER GROUP LLC), BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE THAN 300 HUNDRED CASES OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR WITH MY EXPLANATIONS. AND FROM THIS DAY TO NOW, I AM TRAUMATIZED BY THIS INCIDENT. IT IS THE REASON THAT I AM WRITING TO YOU SO AS TO SOLVE THIS HAZARD OR MAIN ISSUE. AND ACTUALLY MY CAR IS PARKED AT HOME (15770 BELLAIRE BLVD, #2107, HOUSTON, TX77083). MY INSURANCE CLAIM NUMBER IS: STATE FARM: 53-0079-5S5. N.B.: I ALSO ATTACHED THE TOWING RECEIPT ISSUED BY THE TOWING SERVICES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT OBSERVED AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,682. UPDATED 01/26/2017*CT UPDATED 07/06/18*JB

ALTERNATOR CAUGHT FIRE, STALLED ENGINE, AND DESTROYED THE COMPUTER CHIP, BUT MANUFACTURER SAID IT WAS NOT THERE FAULT.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND OUR BATTERY LIGHT TURNED ON I IMMEDIATELY EXITED AND SINCE THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT AT WAS JUST ABOUT A MILE AWAY I DROVE IT THERE AS SOON AS WE HIT THE CORNER ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE DEALER MY DASH STARTED FLASHING MY SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING RADIO DISPLAY WENT OUT PARK ASSIST WENT OUT WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR THE DEALER SAID IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY PAID 1500 TO GET IT FIXED DROVE IT HOME AND 2 HOURS LATER WENT TO RUN SOME ERRANDS AND HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN POWER STEERING GOOD THING I WASN'T ON A BUSY STREET OR IT COULD OF BEEN PRETTY BAD HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED HOME SINCE DEALER WAS CLOSED NOW MONDAY MORNING SERVICE DEPARTMENT SENT A TOW TRUCK FOR MY VEHICLE LET'S SEE HOW MUCH THIS COSTS ME NOW

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO, 3.6L/V6 WITH 180AMP ALTERNATOR - ALTERNATOR RAPIDLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING ("IN MOTION"), CAUSING COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE AND DISABLING BOTH THE BATTERY AND THE CONTROL MODULE REQUIRING THEM BOTH TO BE REPLACED. THIS COMPLETE SHUT DOWN CAUSED THE ABS AND STEERING TO LOCK UP AND ALL MY ELECTRICAL INCLUDING MY FLASHERS TO NOT WORK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND IS IDENTICAL TO THE P60 RECALL OF THIS SAME VEHICLE BUILT WITH THE 160AMP ALTERNATOR WHICH IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME AS MY VEHICLE. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE P60 RECALL AND BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE AND ALL OTHERS LIKE IT SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL! FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT DRIVING IN A LOCATION WITH HIGH SPEEDS OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT MOMENT BUT HAD IT FAILED ONLY MINUTES LATER SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. CLEARLY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND JUST BECAUSE THE ALTERNATORS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AMP THEN THAT OF THE CURRENT RECALL THOSE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS INFORMATION, INCLUDING ANY FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING MY RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK LATE ONE NIGHT, THE DURANGO STARTED ACTING UP LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, THE WIPERS WENT ON AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF, SEATS WENT BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING!, RADIO, HEAT, AC. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND FINALLY MANAGED TO MOVE OVER TO A SECURE LOCATION OUT OF HARMS WAY NO SOONER DID I PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN THE DODGE COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TO COAST DOWN A HILL. TRIED TO TURN IT OVER AND NOTHING. NO LIGHTS NO RADIO NO NOTHING. IT WAS DEAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS THE BATTERY, INSTALLED A NEW ONE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. FAST FORWARD TO LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER- SAME PROBLEM. DRIVING TO DROP OFF MY 5 YEAR OLD AND IT STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN COMPLETELY POSSESSED. HOW IS THIS SAFE? I MADE IT TO WORK WITH IT GOING CRAZY. AT LUNCH, I WENT TO START IT AND CHECK IT OUT. DEAD. BRAND NEW BATTERY DEAD. 400 BUCKS DOWN THE DRAIN- WHEN THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THE 200 BUCKS TO TOW. I BROUGHT IT TO A LITTLE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AND THERE IT SITS. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT OVER THERE. IT IS REALLY PATHETIC. SO NOW ADD'L TOW CHARGES-$200, NO VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND CHILD'S STROKE THERAPISTS, AND HAD TO BREAK DOWN AND PAY FOR A RENTAL. WHAT A JOKE THANKS DODGE. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE TIPM ISSUES AND REFUSE TO RECALL ANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. EVERYTHING JUST DIES.. THE ENGINE THE BRAKES DON'T WORK NOTHING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT MY ALTERNATOR FAILED AND COULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE, WHICH CAUSED MY BATTERY AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO FAIL. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO RECALL (# P60 / NHTSA 14V-634) DEALING WITH A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ALTERNATOR. ALTHOUGH, THIS RECALL SEEMS TO MATCH MY VEHICLE DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL LIST AND THERE MUST BE NO RELATION. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MY CAR'S PROBLEMS MATCHED THE RECALL EXACTLY AND BASED ON THAT RECALL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE $2,000 SPENT ON REPAIRS. *TR

UPON STARTING MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE. DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT FOR ANOTHER FOR A MINUTE TO SEE IF THE NOISE WOULD STOP, I PARKED THE CAR TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I DROVE THE CAR TOWARDS MY HOME, THE NOISE STOPPED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST AUTO STORE FOR THEM TO TEST THE BATTERY. UPON OPENING THE HOOD OF MY CAR SMOKE CAME POURING OUT WITH AN AWFUL BURNING SMELL. I WAS ADVISED THAT I WAS NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT WAS CAUSE MORE DAMAGE DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR BEING VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH AND SMOKING. MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED, THE PROBLEM WAS THE ALTERNATOR, MY VEHICLE HAS 72,000 MILES. THIS IS THE 4TH MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE.

THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL FOR THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. WE HAVE A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALLED 160 AMP. OUR VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AFTER A SHORT DRIVE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO INCLUDE THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR INTO THE EXISTING RECALL. A SHORT INTERNET SEARCH WILL REVEAL COUNTLESS OTHER VICTIMS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE APROX 75MPH 10/25/2016 THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. SUV BEGIN TO LOSE POWER AND TACHOMETER WAS REVVING HIGH. MADE IT TO MY LOCAL TIRE SHOP UPON PULLING THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE ALTERNATOR BLEW UP AND A SMALL FIRE STARTED. UPON REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR THE SUV STILL WILL NOT START. *TR

PULLED INTO A SHOPPING MALL HAD A WEIRD BURNING SMELL SHUT OFF CAR LIFTED HOOD A LOT OF SMOKE COMING OUT OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAR COMPLETELY DEAD HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP THEY INFORM ME THAT ALTERNATOR, BATTERY DEAD. AFTER FIXING THEY FIND OUT ECM IS FRIED! NOW COME TO FIND OUT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR! I WAS JUST AT DEALER FIXING THE FUEL THING THAT WAS RECALLED CAUSE CAR DIED THEN TOO HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED! WHY DIDN'T DEALER FIX ALTERNATOR THING TOO WHEN I WAS THERE NOW I HAVE TO PAY $1500 TO FIX??

I WAS AT THE MALL PULLED INTO PARKING LOT SMELLED A BURNING SMELL SO I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND OPENED HOOD SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT NO FIRE THOUGH TRIED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN CAR COMPLETELY DEAD. SO HAD CAR TOWED OF COURSE WAS IN PARKING STRUCTURE AND STRUCTURE WAS SO SMALL NO TOW TRUCK COULD FIT INSIDE SO HAD TO CALL A MOBILE MECHANIC TO COME OUT AND HE BYPASSED SOMETHING TO GET CAR STARTED DROVE CAR TO OUTSIDE PARKING LOT SO CAR COULD BE TOWED. MECHANIC SAID ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY FRIED. SO REPLACED THEM. COME TO FIND OUT THAT PCM WAS ALSO FRIED SO NEED NEW BRAIN FOR CAR! LOOKED ON WEBSITE DODGE/CRYSELER HAVE RECALL ON ALTERNATOR....YOU GUESSED IT NOT ON MY VEHICLE THOUGH!! THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO ALTERNATORS BUT NOT ON MINE YET MY ALTERNATOR GOES OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON!! RIDICULOUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A BURNING ODOR ENTERED THE VEHICLE. AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE, THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR CAUGHT FIRE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THIS MORNING I STARTED MY CAR AS USUAL TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. I GOT ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM MY HOUSE AND COULD SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING TYPE SMELL. I PULLED OVER BUT COULD SEE NOTHING. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. I PROCEEDED ABOUT A MILE TO THE SCHOOL WITH THE SMELL STILL THROUGHOUT THE CAR. JUST BEFORE I PULLED BACK TO MY HOUSE GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY MY BATTERY LIGHT. THE RADIO WENT ALL HAYWIRE AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL UP TO THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND HAD MY HUSBAND COME TAKE A LOOK. HE OPENED THE HOOD AND SMOKE CAME OUT. IT SMELLED VERY HOT LIKE THERE WERE WIRES ON FIRE. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND NOTHING. I CAN'T EVEN GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. HE TOUCHED THE ALTERNATOR AND BURNED HIMSELF. I HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP. IT SAT FOR 2 HOURS WAITING AND WHEN THE TOW DRIVER CAME HE COULD STILL SMELL THE BURNING AND WHEN HE TRIED TO TOUCH THE ALTERNATOR HE STILL COULDN'T SAID IT WAS VERY HOT. HE TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR AND SPARKS CAME SHOOTING OFF THE BATTERY TERMINALS ALSO. I HAVE NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND NO RECALL???? ONLY THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS??? LAST YEAR MY CAR HAD TO SIT FOR 4 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE TIPM RECALL AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE. NOW THIS! I AM ALSO CONTACTING DODGE/CHRYSLER TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL ALTERNATORS.

VEHICLE QUIT WITH NO WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. NO FLASHERS!! COULD NOT GET CAR OUT OF GEAR TO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO MOVE VEHICLE. NO SHOULDER AS IT WAS ON AN OVERPASS. HAD TO ABANDON VEHICLE IN TRAVELED PORTION OF INTERSTATE 29. HAD SOME NEAR MISS WHERE OTHER DRIVERS HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES LEAVING TIRE MARKS ON PAVEMENT IN ORDER NOT TO HIT OUR CAR. HUSBAND HAD TO DIRECT MORNING TRAFFIC AROUND CAR TILL POLICE COULD GET THERE. WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WOULD HIT IT AND GET HURT/KILLED. HUSBAND HAD NO SAFETY GEAR AND WAS PLACED IN A VERY UNSAFE POSITION TRYING TO KEEP OTHERS FROM HITTING OUR VEHICLE SITTING THE TRAVELED PORTION OF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT SLOWLY TO FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, REAPPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY DID WORK CAUSING ME TO HIT THAT CAR AGAIN. THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY FOOT WAS DEPRESSING BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE SO II USED MY LEFT FOOT, RESULT THE SAME. I DID THIS MANY MORE TIMES AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PULLED OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I WAS SURE IT WAS SAFE. THIS HAPPENED IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, I MANAGED TO AVOID HITTING ANY OF THE WORKERS AND THE 3 TRUCKS THAT THEY WERE USING. ONE OF THE WORKERS ASKED WHAT HAPPENED, I EXPLAINED TO HIM AND HE TRIED THE BRAKES, THEY WENT WERE SPONGY AND WENT SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED TO SEE IF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF SHE HAD ANY INJURIES, SHE SAID SHE WAS ALRIGHT. THE IMPACT WAS NOT HARD BECAUSE WE WERE BOTH GOING THE SPEED. CALLED THE MICHIGAN STATE POLICE (REFER TO INCEDENT # 31-10985-16 AND CRASH REPORT S/N 228890) NO TICKET ISSUED. CALLED FOR WRECKER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER WAS GARBER, 5330 BAY ROAD, SAGINAW MICHIGAN 48604, PHONE # 989-399-8550, SERVICE ADVISOR LARRY COOK. THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER ENGINEERING. LEFT VEHICLE OVE NIGHT, CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. BRAKES WORKED FINE, BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP GASKET AND BEARING HOUSING FAILED. THE WATER PUMP, COOLANT, AND THERMOSTAT WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,600. UPDATED 12/20/16*LJ

2011 DODGE DURANGO RECALL# 14V634000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ALTERNATOR. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT OUT, CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR, AND THE BATTERY TO BE DISABLED. DODGE REFUSED TO REIMBURSE FOR THE 2K WE PAID IN REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RADIO STARTED GOING OFF AND ON ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED STARTED SMOKING UNDER HOOD AND THEN WOULD NOT START AT ALL HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GARAGE. GARAGE ALTERNATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE ORDER NEW ALTERNATOR ALSO IT RUINED THE BATTERY NEW BATTERY PUT IN STILL WOULD NOT START HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER NOW I HAVE A BILL FOR $1500.00 I HAVE TRYING TO PAY AS MUCH AS I COULD AFFORD EACH WEEK BUT NOT GETTING FAR I NEED SOMETHING,I REALLY NEED MY CAR BACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THREE MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE WAS A PRESENCE OF SMOKE THAT EMITTED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO CAUTIOUSLY COAST THE VEHICLE DOWN AN EXIT RAMP AND ONTO A LOCAL ROADWAY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION UNDER THE HOOD, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY AND THE BATTERY WERE BURNT. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO A DEALER WHERE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY WERE REPLACED. THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL, BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED BECAUSE IT ONLY ADDRESSED THE 160 AMP AND NOT THE 180 AMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

LOST TOTAL BATTERY POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. IT STARTED WITH A BURING METAL SMELL COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. DROVE VEHICLE 5 MILES ON A STATE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE ANOTHER 10 MILES ON THE SAME ROAD AND SPEED, AND RADIO SHUT OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE TURNING ON AND OFF, POWER WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THIER OWN, DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF UNTIL FINALLY LOSING POWER STEERING AND THEN VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED. LUCKILY I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND HAD A PARKING LOT TO COAST INTO AFTER TOTAL POWER FAILURE. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD, WHICH CAUSED A SHORT TO THE BATTERY CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BECOME COMPLETELY DEAD AND DAMAGED, WHILE BLOWING THE FUSE PANEL. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS THIS AGE WITH SIMILAR MILEAGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY WIFE AND THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CREW I OBSERVED A SMELL OF SMOKE FROM THE HOOD COMPARTMENT. SECONDS LATER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT HAYWIRE AND EVERY LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. HEAT BEGAN BLOWING FROM VENTS, WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES. THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED AND I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AS WELL AS BRAKING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. WE REMOVED THE KIDS FROM THE CAR SO THEY WOULD BE SAFER. WHEN THE KIDS WERE OUT OF THE ROADWAY I POPPED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO HAVE MY DURANGO TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC REBUILT THE ALTERNATOR BUT ONCE IT WAS REBUILT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. MECHANIC PERFORMED TESTING AND DETERMINED THAT THE PCM WAS FRIED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THE PCM AND ALTERNATOR FOR THE 2011 DURANGO WAS UNDER RECALL. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY DURANGO WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THEIR ARE THREE SIZES OF ALTERNATORS IN THE 2011 DURANGO 160AMP, 180 AMP, AND 220AMP. ONLY THE 160 AMP IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS THE DURANGO'S COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE AS MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR WORSE YET KILLED. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES. WAY TOO EARLY TO BE PAYING FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

EVEN AFTER THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IT WAS REPLACED , THE ENTIRE TIPM WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY

VEHICLE IN MOTION TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL POWER. NO LIGHTS OR INDICATORS ON DASHBOARD. NO POWER STEERING. LIMITED BRAKING POWER. COASTED THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. SHIFTED VEHICLE INTO PARK AND WAITED 5 MINUTES. AFTER 5 MINUTES ELECTRICAL POWER RETURNED AND WAS ABLE TO START VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT HOME. FOUND COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 26TH 2016, I WAS DRIVING TO RICHMOND, VA FROM NEWPORT NEWS, VA WHEN MY BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON. I DECIDED TO MAKE A STOP IN WILLIAMSBURG TO THE OUTLET STORES AND THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WHILE TURNING INTO THE STORES' PARKING LOT, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED FLASHING. RIGHT BEFORE PARKING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN/OFF. THE VEHICLE SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, BUT NO OBVIOUS FIRE. THE OUTLETS SECURITY CAME OVER AND HOOKED UP A JUMP BOX TO THE BATTERY. HE STATED THE BATTERY APPEARS LOW. HE TRIED TO JUMP THE BATTERY WITH THE JUMP BOX, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. HE TRIED WITH HIS SECURITY VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE AND THE CONNECTIONS STARTED SMOKING. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS, WAITED ON A FRIEND TO ARRIVE, CALLED TRIPLE A AND THE REPRESENTATIVE CONNECTED HIS JUMP BOX TO MY VEHICLE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT AS SOON AS THE JUMP BOX REMOVED, THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE BACK DOWN. THE TRIPLE A REPRESENTATIVE AND MYSELF DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO POMOCO DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA. RESEARCHED INFORMATION AND THERE IS A RECALL NAMED P60 FOR 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 220 AMP ALTERNATOR. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DODGE AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN DOESN'T QUAILITY, BUT THEY WILL LOG MY INFORMATION. AFTER CONDUCTING MORE RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ON ALL 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S NO MATTER THE ALTERNATOR AMP (160, 180, 220). THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL THE 2011 DODGE DURANGOS AS IT IS VERY COMMON, VERY DANGEROUS, AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATED W/ MY DAUGHTERS

WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO, THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND HEAT STARTED COMING OUT OF THE FLOOR VENTS. PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS NON-RESPONSIVE. WHEN ATTACHING JUMPER CABLES TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE TOWED, THE CABLES GOT VERY HOT VERY QUICKLY AND THE TOWING COMPANY SAID THAT INDICATED THERE COULD BE A "DEAD SHORT" IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS WAS A REPORTED PROBLEM AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 DODGE DURANGOS, BUT WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE DATABASE, IT DID NOT INDICATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE RECALL. TO ME, THIS IS CLEARLY A MISTAKE OR OVERSIGHT AS MY VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY DIED WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING IT. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THAT FURTHER REVIEW OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BE COMPLETED AND REIMBURSEMENT BE MADE FOR REPAIRS COMPLETED AT MY EXPENSE.

THE CAR HAS AN INTERMITENT THAT DURING THE TRANSITION FROM COLD ENGINE OPERATION TO WARM ENGINE IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE GAS (TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR TO MAKE A TURN) THE ENGINE WILL STALL, LOSING POWER STEERING. IT IS INTERMITTENT IN THAT IT MUST BE AT A CERTAIN POINT IN THE WARM UP CYCLE. I AM UNABLE TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR AS SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

68000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON, A BURNING SMELL WAS PRESENT, COMING FROM THE ENGINE. A MILE OR TWO DOWN THE ROAD, SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER, TURNED VEHICLE OFF. LOOKED UNDER HOOD, ALL LOOKED NORMAL, SMOKING STOPPED. TURNED VEHICLE BACK ON, BATTERY LIGHT WAS NOT LIT, PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ANOTHER HALF A MILE FINE. WHEN I GOT BACK IN LATER ON THAT DAY, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS INITIALLY, THEN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT A MILE OR SO, BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THEN A/C STARTED BLASTING HOT AIR, DASH BOARD STARTING GOING HAYWIRE WITH LIGHT INDICATORS AND MESSAGE APPEARING, WIND SHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON ITS OWN AND ACCELERATION WAS DIFFICULT. PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. TURNED IT BACK ON, LIGHTS WERE STILL PRESENT. MADE IT ANOTHER 2 MILES AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREET AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT, AND AS A RESULT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED AS WELL. $1350.00 LATER!!! THANK GOODNESS TOWING WAS COVERED UNDER MY INSURANCE POLICY, BECAUSE DODGE CLAIMS THIS REPAIR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY! IT SHOULD BE!! VERY UNSAFE AND TOO YOUNG OF A VEHICLE FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIR! THERE IS CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FOR 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, IT SHOULD BE FOR 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AS WELL!!! P60 IS CHRYSLER'S RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS GETTING OUR DAY STARTED. I TURN ON WITH REMOTE START WAS MAKING LOUD SCREECHING SOUND. LOADED UP KIDS AND STARTED TO TAKE OFF. WE COULD ALL SMELL A BAD BURNING SMELL. I CHECK ALL TEMPS ON CAR AND NOTHING READ HIGH TEMPERATURE. I DROVE ON MY WAY TO DAYCARE WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. AND IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DID THIS B4 LIKE 4 MONTHS OR SO AND A RECALL OF FUEL PUMP WAS DONE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE TILL THIS DAY. I TRIED STARTING IT A FEW TIMES NOTHING. FINALLY TURN ON AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT TO DROP OF MY 3 KIDS AT CAMP WHEN IT KEPT FEELING LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN OF. STILL SMELLING BURNING. FINALLY I'M HEADED TO WORK AND IT STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME AND NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED. I HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC BECAUSE DEALERSHIP IS AND HOUR AWAY. HE SAID ALTERNATOR GAVE OUT. PUT NEW ALTERNATOR IN STILL NOTHING. 600 DOLLARS DOWN DRAIN. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TOWING TO GET TO DEALERSHIP WHICH WILL MEAN JUST MORE MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN WHICH I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY AND USE THIS CAR FOR WK SO HOPEFULLY I DON'T LOSE MY JOB. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I HAVE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS AS ANOTHER 2011 DURANGO UNDER RECALL BUT MINE AIN'T ONE OF THEM. DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED TO HAVE A RECALL. IF NONE OF THIS IS RESOLVED PROPERLY I WILL BE HIRING A LAWYER. I HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE FOR 2YRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONING BLEW HOT AIR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING WENT HAYWIRE. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ALLOW THE ENGINE TO REV. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FAILURE AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. HOWEVER, AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES LONGER, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME WHERE IT HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE FROM HOME, VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING AND A HOLE BURNED THROUGH THE HEADLINER AT THE SUN VISOR. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO HUFFINES LEWISVILLE FOR REPAIR. RELATED RECALL 15V-879

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD 4 KIDS IN THE CAR. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR RECALL P60. BUT MY TRUCK JUST HAD TO BE TOWED DUE TO BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON AND ABOUT 20 MINS LATER SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD LOSS OF POWER STEERING THEM A DEAD TRUCK WITH A KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION . WHILE DRIVING BEFORE ANY OF THIS HAPPEN THERE WAS A LACK OF MOTION ON THE TRUCK IT DID NOT WANT TO GO . THE COMPUTER SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION FLASHING ON AND OFF TELLING ME TO BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT , WHICH I HAD MINE ON AND SO DID MY CHILDREN! NOW I'M HAVING TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE MINE VIN IS NOT LISTED WITH THE RECALL P60 . ALL THE SIGNS POINT TO THIS RECALL I AM NOT HAPPY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE.

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO STARTED TO MAKE A "WHINING" SOUND WHEN ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MILES, AFTER THE NOISE STARTED, A LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. LUCKILY, WE WERE JUST PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. MY ALTERNATOR FAILED AT 56.8K MILES. APPARENTLY, THE ALTERNATOR ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WAS NOT PART OF RECALL P60. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR EVERY OTHER PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH A 2011 DURANGO. HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE AN ALTERNATOR IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED WITH A LOT MORE MILES THAN THIS ONE. SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN JUST A COINCIDENT.

WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, FIRST MY RADIO WOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN, THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ALL THE SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON FILLED BY MY ACCOUNT BLOWING OUT HOT AIR AND THEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME NOT ALLOWING ME TO REMOVE MY KEY OR PUT MY CAR ON NEUTRAL OR ALLOWING ME TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. IT FOLLOWED BY A BURNING SMELL UNDER THE HOOD.

MY ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT AT 78K MILES, THE 160AMP ALTERNATOR HAS A RECALL P60, HOWEVER THE 180AMP THAT I HAVE IS NOT COVERED. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN IT FRAYED THE DRIVE BELT FILLING CABIN WITH SMOKE, THEN LOST POWER STEERING AS LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN INTO PARKING LOT. SHOP I WENT TO WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR A 2011 WAS ALREADY FAILING.

I HAD A BATTERY LIGHT IN THE MORNING, BUT MY BATTERY WAS NEW. AS I WAS DRIVING MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING, MY RADIO SCREEN FLASHED, WENT OFF AND THE ENTIRE CAR DIED WHILE IN MOTION, I BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN TRY, AND ME AND MY TWO INFANT CHILDREN WERE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET IN 100 HEAT. THE POLICE OFFICER HAD TO HELP US, WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE US HOME. THE MECHANIC WHO LOOKED AT THE CAR SAID THE ALTERNATOR INTERNALLY GROUNDED AND FRIED THE COMPUTER AND THE BATTERY AND EXPLAINS THE BURNING SMELL JUST PRIOR TO THE CAR DYING.

ALTERNATOR SUDDENLY FAILED, RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE AT 50MPH, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND EVENTUALLY TOTAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 800 YARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A SIMILAR RECALL AS IT HAD A HIGHER AMPERAGE ALTERNATOR, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM AND CORRESPONDING SAFETY ISSUE WAS IDENTICAL TO THE PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES.

I AM DISAPPOINTED IN HOW DODGE STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. A VEHICLE CAN BE REPLACED BUT A LIFE CANNOT. I DROVE MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CREW 3.6L V-6 (102,980 MILES) FROM MY HOUSE TO THE DENTIST OFFICE (LESS THAN 2 MILES). I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL WHEN I PULLED UP AT THE DENTIST OFFICE. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER MY DAUGHTER NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE WE WERE SITTING IN THE DENTIST OFFICE. I WENT OUTSIDE AND RAISED THE HOOD AND IT WAS SMOKING. A PERSON PASSING BY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES BECAUSE HE FEARED IT WOULD CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE ALTERNATOR($425) WAS DAMAGED. WELL THAT ALSO FRIED MY BATTERY ($162). THE HEAT ALSO DAMAGED THE COMPUTER ($1,000) WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW MY NEW ALTERNATOR TO HOLD A CHARGE. THERE WAS NO LIGHT, NOISE, OR ANY WARNING WHEN THE FAILURE HAPPENED. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY IT STILL HAD A BURNING SMELL. BEFORE THE MECHANIC WOULD RELEASE THE VEHICLE HE TEST DROVE IT. POWER STEERING FAILED, WIPERS COMING ON, AND ENGINE IDLING UP AND DOWN. THAT IS WHEN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER HAD BEEN DAMAGED. MY DURANGO HAS THE 220AMP ALTERNATOR SO DODGE DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM UPSET BECAUSE MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ONLY AFTER SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE? IT WAS SITTING AND BEGAN TO PUT OFF HUGE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE WITH NO WARNING.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND THERE IS NO FIX THAT HAS BEEN FOUND TO STOP THIS ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME (CITY, LOW TRAFFIC), I HAD JUST HAD MY 2 MONTHS OLD BATTERY TESTED AT ADVANCE AUTO, WHEN MY BATTERY INDICATOR TURNED ON AGAIN. IT HAD TURNED ON YESTERDAY FOR 1ST TIME. I TURNED OFF THE RADIO AND I COULD HEAR A HIGH PITCH WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR STALLED. GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SMELLED SOMETHING BEING BURNT. OPEN UP THE HOOD AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ALTERNATOR.

MY VEHICLE PUSH TO START SYSTEM STICKS AND THE VEHICLE TAKES LONG ATTEMPTING TO START. MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING HAS GONE DEAD ON ME ALTHOUGH THE DASH IS STILL LITE RADIO PLAYING. THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS AND THE BRAKES GET HARD. I HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP IN ORDER TO PLACE THE CAR BACK IN NEUTRAL OR PARK IN ORDER TO START IT AGAIN. IT HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT, WHILE MAKING A TURN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF OTHER CARS, CURBS, AND DITCHES. I USE THIS CAR EVERY DAY TO TRANSPORT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, HAVE HAD THE TIPM BYPASS AND THE CAR STILL HARD STARTS AND STALLS DESPITE THE RECALLS. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SITUATION THAT IS A DEFINITE HAZARD. MOST RECENT COMPLAINT, MY CAR HAS BE IDLING HIGH AND NOW FINALLY IT OVERHEAT AND THE WATER PUMP HAS TO BE REPLACED. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

ON AN INTERMITTENT, BUT REGULAR BASIS, THE VEHICLE (2011 DODGE DURANGO) STALLS WHEN SLOWING INTO A TURN OR APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT. ONCE THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND EVEN OBJECTS (CURBS, LIGHT POLES, ETC.) I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS AND AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AS WELL AS MY OWN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM (ARRIGO DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP RAM) IN WEST PALM BEACH FL. EIGHT (8) TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED VARIOUS PARTS, AND EVEN BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ONCE, HOWEVER, EVERY TIME WE GET THE VEHICLE BACK, WITHIN A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS IT STALLS AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, INCLUDING ONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITHIN THE TIPM-7 AND ONE FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BOTH OF WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I HAVE INCLUDED AS MANY OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE REPORTS AS THE UPLOAD WILL ALLOW. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT ONE POINT, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ANSWERS AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY I A CHECK BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH, I PLANNED ON CHECKING INTO IT AT THE UPCOMING GAS STATION WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 MILES AWAY, AS I APPROACHED THE OFFRAMP TO THE GAS STATION ALL KINDS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND ABS AND YOU NAME IT STARTED SHOWING IN MY DASH FOLLOWED BY THE WIPERS AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE CAR DIES OUT. LUCKY FOR ME THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD OR LOCKED, I MANAGED TO PULL OVER JUST BEFORE THE GAS STATION AND SENSED THE SMELL OF BURNED WIRE, I NOTICED I WAS NOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD SO I TRIED PUTTING VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS LOCKED IN PARK, ALSO MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. LOCAL MECHANIC CHANGED THE BATTERY FIRST AND STILL HAD THE CHECK BATTERY LIGHT ON SO HE RECCOMENDED A NEW ALTERNATOR AS WELL WHICH I BOUGHT IMMEDIATELY, 900.00 LATER HERE I SIT WITH NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATERRY BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE STALLING AND CHECK BATTERY LIGHT ON. DEALER SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE P60 RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE/HAD THE SAME 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH CAN BECOME DEADLY IF NOT FIXED ASAP. IM SURE OF ONE THING, NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL ME OR MY FAMILY BUY A DODGE AGAIN.

OUR DURANGO HAS HAD MAJOR ISSUES SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. WE HAVE NEARLY DIED IN THREE OCCASSIONS DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE FOR ISSUES THE MANUFACTURER WAS WELL AWARE OF AND DID NOT ADDRESS IN A TIMELY FASHION. WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS INCLUDING REPLACING THE TIPM, ALTENATOR (TWICE), BRAKE BOOSTER, #2 ENGINE CYLINDER, TRANSMISSION INTERCOOLER, AND DOZENS OF OTHER ISSUES. WE HAVE HAD TO DO THIS OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE DODGE WONT ASSIST UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL MADE AND THEN FORCES US TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT PARTS FOR THE RECALL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IF NOT A YEAR. THIS RECENT ISSUE THE CAR KEPT BUCKING AND KICKING DRIVE DRIVING. VERY CLEARLY THERE ARE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IN ALL THE FORUMS, IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND YET AGAIN DODGE DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. THERE IS CLEAR EVIDENCE DODGE KNEW AND CONTINUES TO KNOW OF MANY FAULTY LEAKING SEALS AND MISSING SEALS FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND AC CONDENSER, YET WILL NOT COVER THEM. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BC IT WAS LEAKING FLUIDS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUCKING AND KICKING. WHEN THEY EVALUATED IT, THEY FOUND A BAD ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY AND A POWER STEERING LEAK PLUS A TRANSMISSION LEAK. (SEE ATTACHED INVOICE). SOME WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (AS WE PREVIOUSLY PAID OUT OF POCKET OURSELVES TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR SO THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON IT) AND THE REST WAS NOT. AGAIN WE HAD TO FORK OUT MORE MONEY FOR KNOWN DEFECT ISSUES OF DODGE. THE BUCKING AND KICKING OCCURRED RANDOMLY WITHOUT NOTICE AS WE DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WERE ALSO ELECTRICAL OUTAGES RANDOMLY AS WELL AND PERIODS OF UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION WITH NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: WE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE AC AT ALL. IT WOULD RUN COLD AND ONLY HAVE ISSUES WHEN RANDOM ELECTRICAL OUTAGES OCCURRED.

MOMENTARY LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION AT ALL SPEEDS. LOSS OF ALL DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES. TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MOMENTARILY. THIS CAUSES A MOMENTARY STALL. DOES NOT LAST LONG ENOUGH TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AS THE POWER IS IMMEDIATELY RESTORED. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES WEEKLY, ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION, HAS NOT OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT IDLE. POSSIBLE IGNITION OR TIPM FAULT.

ALTERNATOR FAILED OVER HEATING ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CAUSING BATTERY AND COMPUTER CHIP FAILURE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE ROAD BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A PARKING LOT. I DID SMELL SMOKE AND FELT HEAT BUT THERE WAS NO IGNITION OF FIRE. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED. NO ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY. THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS RECALL #14V634000.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT, A DEAD SHORT PERMANENTLY DAMAGED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE ALTERNATOR PERMANENTLY DAMAGED THE BATTERY. THIS ISSUE WAS SUDDEN AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE. THE SHORT WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A FIRE, ALTHOUGH A FIRE DID NOT OCCUR. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A FORTUNATE BIT OF LUCK. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME. I HAD TO PAY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THIS ISSUE (DIAGNOSIS, PARTS AND LABOR).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF BLACK SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO FLAMES PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE RECALL REMEDY PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,694.

THE HEADLINER NEXT TO THE MAP LIGHTS COUGHT ON FIRE. MY WIFE HAD PARKED IT AND SMELLED SMOKE. AFTER SHE BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE FLAMES STARTED UP AND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS USED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT WATER ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND FUSE BOX WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND, WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS, THE STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO A MAIN ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,045.

THE ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT WITH 48000 MILES ON IT. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY WIFE DROVE IT 1.5 MILES HOME. ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING AND COMPLETELY SHORTED OUT/FRIED. WHILE SHE MANAGED TO GET IT HOME THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED AN ACCIDENT HAD SHE DRIVEN IT LONGER. I AM SHOCKED THAT A FAILURE LIKE THIS CAN HAPPEN ON A CAR IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP TESTED TIPM AND OTHER PARTS AND FOUND NOTHING BUT I'M STILL HAVING AN ISSUE STARTING MY CAR WHEN MY VEHICLE SITS LONGER THAN 5 HOURS. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD NEW TIPM FOR $1200. I UNDERSTAND TIPM ISSUE IS PENDING CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO DODGE DEALER TO PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNT SO THAT I CAN REPLACE TIPM OF MY VEHICLE.

2011 DODGE DURANGO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL NOT COMPLETED AS STATED BY DEALERSHIP WORK ORDER. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THREE RECALLS WERE COMPLETED ON HER VEHICLE FEBRUARY 3, 2015. NINE MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. WITH SOME ASSISTANCE, THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HER LOCAL MECHANIC, HE SUGGESTED SHE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE HE NOTICED IN THE COMPUTER THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FROM A RECALL, HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC, IT WAS REPLACED IN FEBRUARY 15, 2015, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE THREE RECALLS PERFORMED. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED AND THE COMPUTER READ AS INCOMPLETE. THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL HAD TO BE ORDERED. *JB

FRONT BRAKES NOT CATCHING

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CAUGHT FIRE. THE ROOF ABOVE THE PASSENGER VISOR BURN SIGNIFICANTLY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE PASSENGER SAID SHE SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. BOTH OF US HAVE RETIRED FROM THE ELECTRONICS FIELD. NOT REALIZING THE SEVERITY OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, I PARKED THE CAR. WE WENT AWAY FROM THE CAR FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. UPON RETURNING WE OPEN THE DOOR AND ENTERED THE CAR. THE CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE. WE COULD HEAR THE FIRE BURNING IN THE ROOF. WE BOTH JUMPED OUT. WE FLAGGED DOWN SOME PARKING ATTENDANTS. WE OPENED THE HOOD TO GET TO THE BATTERY OR FUSE BOX. I MONITORED THE LIGHT IN THE VANITY MIRRORS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS, WHILE THE ATTENDANTS WITH BOOK MANUAL IN HAND, PULLED FUSES UNTIL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE FIRE SLOWED TO A STOP. ONE NOTE IN SPITE OF THE FIRE BURNING OUR HANDICAP STICKER ON THE ROOF SIDE, BLISTERING THE PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE ROOF, AND THE INTERIOR ROOF ON FIRE ON NO FUSES BLEW! MY EXPERIENCE IS TELLING ME THAT THE WIRES INVOLVED HAVE BEEN DRAWING TO MUCH CURRENT FOR MANY YEARS. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WIRES INVOLVED, CHANGED WITH HEAT AND TIME. FINALLY THE WIRES GOT TO RESISTIVE AND HEATED TO THE POINT OF IGNITION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO PAPA'S DODGE IN NEW BRITAIN, CT. AFTER INVESTIGATING FOR 3 DAYS, THEY TOLD ME A WIRE IN THE A-PILLAR WAS COMPROMISED AND THAT CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY NOT OPERATE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I WAS GIVEN TWO OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST WAS TO ORDER A NEW WIRING HARNESS THAT WOULD PUT THE REPAIR COST CLOSE TO $800. THE SECOND WAS TO HAVE THE WIRES SPLICED AND REPAIRED WITH NO GUARANTEE FOR $450. I OPTED FOR THE SECOND OPTION AND THE REPAIR HAS HELD UP NOW FOR A MONTH. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN THAT COULD PUT MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THESE WIRES ARE COMPROMISED BY SIMPLY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT REIMBURSING ME FOR THE REPAIR, I WAS GIVEN 4 FREE OIL CHANGES AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SIXTH CYLINDER SPARK PLUG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

2 DIFFERENT EPISODES OF UNEXPECTED VEHICLE SHUTDOWN/STALLING. FIRST EVENT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF A LEFT HAND TURN. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN PARTWAY THROUGH THE TURN. LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. STRUGGLED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DITCH. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, AND CONTINUED HOME UNEVENTFULLY. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED UNEVENTFULLY AND I CONTINUED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE WORKING NORMALLY OTHERWISE. ACCELERATION AND FUEL ECONOMY ARE NORMAL, AND THERE ARE NO EPISODES OF HESITATION/STUTTERING/MISSING. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THE STALL EITHER TIME. BOTH EPISODES WERE APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MOSTLY WARMED UP EACH TIME, BUT PERHAPS NOT ALL THE WAY. THE "EXACT" MOMENT OF THE STALL SEEMS TO COINCIDE WITH REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, ONCE TO TURN AND ONCE TO ACCELERATE. THE DURANGO WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THAT SAME DAY EACH TIME, AND THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT ERROR CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, A STRANGE RESISTANCE WAS FELT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FIRE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,303.

AFTER HAVING THE CAMPAIGN COMPLETED TO REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FROM THE TIPM, MY FOG LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS BEGAN OPERATING SPORADICALLY, THEN EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW WEEKS STOPPED WORKING. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THIS HAPPENED AT DUSK, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS TRIED TO COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. I TRIED TO REPLACE THE BULBS, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WEREN'T RECEIVING POWER FROM THE TIPM, AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AT ABOUT $1,200 COST. THIS PROBABLY IS SO OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS CAMPAIGN, BUT I CANNOT GET THE DEALERSHIP TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COST. PLEASE HELP!

I PURCHASED MY 2011 DODGE DUANGO CITADEL IN AUGUST 2015. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BOTH WEEKS AND MONTHS APART, MY HAZARD LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF AND ON JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO THINK YOU'RE CRAZY AND SECOND GUESS IF YOU SAW THEM. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT TURNING OVER AT THE START AND BECAME INOPERABLE. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE MANAGER DETERMINED THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR REPORTED TO HAVE ALREADY HAD THE TIPM REPLACED, IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT. THE ORIGINAL TIPM WAS STILL IN THE CAR, MEANING THAT THE CARFAX REPORTING THAT THE TIPM RECALL HAD BEEN EXECUTED WAS FALSE. AFTER MY TIPM WAS REPLACED, MY CAR OPERATED FINE UNTIL ONE DAY WHILEI WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I WAS COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN, AND WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN MY CAR STALLED. ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE RADIO STILL FUNCTIONED, BUT I LOST COMPLETE POWER STEERING AND MY HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO CUT THEM ON TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT SUCCESSFULLY. I TOOK AROUND 3 WEEKS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE AN APPT. FOR MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT. DURING THIS TIME MY HAZARD LIGHTS SPORADICALLY CAME ON FROM TIME TO TIME, LASTING NO LONGER THAN A COUPLE OF SECONDS. MIGHT I MENTION THAT WHEN THE CAR STALLED MY FCW OFF LIGHT AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYMBOL CAME ON. AFTER A THOROUGH REVIEW AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM DETECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE CONNECTIONS WERE CHECKED AND THAT NO TROUBLE CODES WERE COMING UP WHEN RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS. I LEFT THE DEALERSIHP HOPING MY PROBLEM HAD BEEN A FLUKE. BOY WAS I WRONG! SINCE THEN, MY HAZARD LIGHTS HAVE STILL BEEN SPIRATICALLY GOING OFF AND HAS STALLED AGAIN, THIS TIME WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO MY ROAD WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 62 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH EVERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FAILED TO REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO JUMPSTART THE BATTERY FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THE JUMPER CABLE CORD BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

PURCHASED NEW 2011 DODGE DURANGO IN 2011, I WASL DRIVING TO WORK THIS WEEK LOCALLY AND DEC 22,2015 BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON I WAS DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE CARD AND SMELLED BURNING IN CAR THOUGHT IT WAS EXHAUST FROM OUTSIDE TRAFFIC. ANOTHER DAY MY MOM WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME GOING SHOPPING AND SHE SAID SHE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. BATTERY WENT BECAUSE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD AS PER THE AUTO PLACE THE WIRES WERE BURNED ACCORDING TO AUTOPLACE ALTERNATOR BAD,I CONTACTED DODGE AND PROVIDED RECEIPT COPIES FROM THE AUTO PLACE THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD BUT THEY SAID BECAUSE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES THEY WONT REIMBURSE ME AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, I HAVE SEEN OVER 400 COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY ISSUES, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THEY WANT TO GET INJURED BEFORE THEY RECALL? DEALERSHIP IS NO LONGER AROUND. IF DOES NOT GET RECALLED I WILL MAKE SURE TO TURN THIS ONE BACK AND NEVER PURCHASE FROM DODGE AGAIN AND WILL CONTACT THE MEDIA TO EXPOSE DODGE FOR PUTTING NOT RECALLING THIS ALTERNATOR AND PUTTING THE SAFETY OF FAMILIES IN HARMS WAY. I HOPE NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS, I AM ALWAYS IN THE TRUCK WITH MY KIDS AND I AM REALLY NERVOUS DRIVING MY TRUCK NOW AND WORRIED IF SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE IN THE CAR. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED TO A BRAND NEW TRUCK. I HAVE HAD USED CARS LONGER THAN THIS AND NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY ISSUES WITH THE CARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND HOPE IT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE FAILING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, ENGIN SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO EXPLAINABLE REASON

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE (I-70) WHEN DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND SIGNALS STARTED GOING OFF. SEAT BELT SIGNAL. AIRBAG SIGNAL. ABS LIGHT SIGNAL. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING. MY 12-YEAR OLD WAS WITH ME AND SCARED TO DEATH AS CARS WHIZZED BY AT 70 MPH. I LUCKILY WAS AT AN OFF RAMP AND TOOK IT AND MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE MAIN ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT TURNOVER WHEN I TRIED IT AGAIN. GOT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. BATTERY WAS REPLACED FIRST. THEN THEY HOOKED UP THE ALTERNATOR TO THE NEW BATTERY, AND THE ALTERNATOR DRAINED THE NEW BATTERY BY HALF IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. AND STARTED SMOKING PROFUSELY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH WAS A 220 AMP. AFTER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR BLEW THE PCM, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE COMPUTER PCM REPLACED TOO. DEALER SAYS THERE MAY BE MORE ISSUES THAT ARISE FROM THE BAD ALTERNATOR. HE WAS SURPRISED MORE WIRES AND FUSES WEREN'T MELTED OR DAMAGED BECAUSE OF HOW BAD THE ALTERNATOR WAS. MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE A 220 AMP. BUT ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS THEY DESCRIBE FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR. I AM JUST THANKFUL MY SON AND I, NOR ANYONE ELSE, WAS HURT OR KILLED IN THIS INCIDENT. ALL ALTERNATORS NO MATTER WHAT AMP NEED TO BE RECALLED. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY HAZARD!

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO ALTERNATOR WENT OUT AND MY PCM. NO WARNING CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. YOU NEED TO DO A RECALL ON ALL NO MATTER THE AMP!!! I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN!
