2012 Dodge Durango Engine Problems

Your check engine light came on, and about three weeks later your vehicle accelerated on its own while stopped at a traffic light. After multiple trips to mechanics, technicians found and repaired several issues including a blown timing chain, faulty oxygen sensors, a cracked intake manifold, head gasket failure, and a misfiring cylinder. Despite these repairs, the problem kept returning. Fixing this will likely require a thorough diagnostic scan to identify the root cause, which may involve replacing the oxygen sensors, timing chain, head gasket, and intake manifold.

Your vehicle randomly stalls while driving, sometimes under braking, which causes the steering to lock up even though the dashboard electronics appear normal. Dodge has attempted multiple fuel pump relay replacements since you bought the car in 2012, but none have permanently fixed the problem. The dealership and manufacturer have refused to take further action despite your repeated requests, leaving you with a vehicle that could lose power and steering control without warning.

Your engine may suddenly misfire and hesitate during acceleration without warning, which nearly caused you a collision. A mechanic found a stuck valve on the driver's side of your 3.6L engine, an issue that Dodge has documented in a technical service bulletin for similar engines. This loss of power during critical moments like highway merging creates a serious safety risk. The fix will likely involve inspecting and repairing or replacing the affected valve and cylinder head components.

Your engine starts but shuts off after just 2-3 seconds of running, and you have to turn it off and restart it to get it going again. This happens randomly when you first start the vehicle. The issue likely involves the fuel system, ignition system, or engine sensors.

While driving at about 35 mph, your Durango suddenly stalled and lost power steering. You were able to restart it by shifting to park. No warning lights came on before this happened. The dealer replaced the fuel pump, but the stalling problem continued to occur even after the repair.

Sudden loud knocking then pop, started smoking pulled over immediately. Due to rod bearing failure rod went through block and all oil came out. Vehicle is available for inspection. Drivers safety was at risk because vehicle lost power and was unable to exit the roadway in a timely manner. No warning was given other than heard a couple of clicks then immediately followed by a loud pop.

While driving at various speeds, upon slowing down the vehicle stalled. This occurred 50+ times. This occurred while my family was in the vehicle on many occasions. Vehicle was serviced for fuel pump recall, however the stalling continued. My mechanic pointed out the ticking noise, referring to the manifold needing repair. Most recently, the car barely wanted to turn over. Struggling for almost 3 days, thankfully I just pulled into my driveway and turn the car off. Then something told me to try to start the vehicle…well that made something smoke in the motor? Repaired the alternator, battery, and starter. Two days later, check oil light comes on, Back to shop to tell me the cam shaft/lifers need to be replaced!!! Quoted $35-4000 if can find a cam shaft repair kit!!!

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started overheating. The contact pulled safely off the highway and turned the vehicle off and waited for nearly an hour before restarting the vehicle and driving back to her residence. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the thermostat needed to be replaced. The failure persisted. The thermostat and water pump were replaced by an independent mechanic. The vehicle continued experiencing the overheating failure. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where the thermostat and water pump were replaced a second time. The failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,400.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle started lagging. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated.

The contact stated coolant was added. The contact stated the coolant was low again shortly after filling the reservoir. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

My check engine light came on for my engine oil filter housing ! I had it repaired a total of 4 times already ! This recent time it put my vehicle into limp mode while doing 65 mph on the highway I had loss all power to my car ! Now even after repair my check engine still comes on with code and sends my car into limp mode until my PCM gets reflashed

DURING SUMMER 2017, 5.7L HEMI STARTED TO MAKE A NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE AT 70,000 MILES ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. IN SEPT 2017 AT 72,000 THE ENGINE FAILED WITH A GRINDED CAMSHAFT DUE TO A ROLLER/LIFTER FAILURE. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY BY SPECIALTY HEMI ENGIEN SHOP PRO ENGINES LLC IN ELON, NC. TODAY, I AM REALIZING THAT THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I HAVE FOUND MANY TESTIMONIES ONLINE AND IN PERSON OF 5.7L HEMI OWNERS HAVING EXPERIENCED SIMILAR DRAMATIC AND COSTLY FAILURES OF THEIR ENGINE CAMSHAFT DUE ROLLER / LIFTER FAILURE AS EXPLAINED CLEARLY FOR EXAMPLE IN THESE VIDEOS: HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=INPUZ3PCHA0), HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LG5QX9QOJGO) OR HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=_2CX11TUTIC) LUCKILY THIS ENGINE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE INJURY AS IT FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, BUT I CONCUR THAT IT COULD HAVE IF THE FAILURE AT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND I THINK THAT DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS TRYING TO HIDE IT I CONCUR THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD CORRECT AND FIX UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AS REPLACING THE ENGINE WAS VERY EXPANSIVE AND IS TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS FOR A LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD AND 72,000 MILES PERFECTLY MAINTAINED TRUCK.

THE ENGINE REGULARLY WILL NOT START WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON. IT STALLS OVER AND OVER. SOMETIMES LEAVING US STRANDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AT LEAST 2016 AND I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS REPAIRED. THE MATTER HAS NEVER RESOLVED! NOW I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE INITIAL RECALL REPLACEMENT PART WAS FAULTY AND DODGE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A FIX.

ENGINE HAS CUTOUT (TURNS OFF) WHILE DRIVING ON 4 OCCASIONS. ON ALL FOUR OCCASIONS IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS EXITING A ROAD/RAMP. WHEN VEHICLE CUTS OUT POWER STEERING ALSO DOES NOT WORK. IN ALL OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD OR STOP BEFORE THE ROAD ENDS. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON.

TWICE IN THREE YEARS TIME THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY THE CLOSEST PULLEY ON THE ENGINE. WHEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY THERE IS LESS THAN 1 INCH OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE HOSE AND PULLEY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW ON THE HEMI 5.7.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE DURANGO WITH 110000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING GOOD. IT TURNED OUT THAT THREE OF MY LIFTERS WERE BAD WHICH ALSO MESSED UP THE CAMSHAFT. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME PRICE TO FIX IT, IF THE OTHER SIDE WE'RE BAD TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT

BAD CAMS IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. ENGINE MISFIRE ON 5TH CYLINDER, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. $4,700 REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE AND FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. A FUEL STATION ATTENDANT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FIRE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK, AND WE DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS A BIG DEAL MAYBE A BROKEN SEAL. I NOTICED THE LEAK WHEN I USED MY REMOTE START IN THE MORNING.TURNS OUT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPED AND BROKE BOLTS! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HADN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO. I LOOKED AT OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNER SITES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING THIS ISSUE IN 2015. MY VEHICLE HAS A LONG CRANK AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT TURN OVER. IT WILL ALSO TURN OVER, THEN SPUTTER OUT AFTER RUNNING FOR 20-30 SECONDS. IN 2015, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING ON/NOT TURNING OVER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED DEALER AND THE TIPM MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HAD THE ISSUE TURNING OVER, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. IN 2016, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON, AND THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE TO FACILITATE A TOW. UPON OPENING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARED AS THOUGH THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND FUSES (OF WHICH I HAVE VIDEO). I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS CALLED BY A SERVICE ADVISOR THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT MY WIN MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHICH I PAID FOR. IN ADDITION, MY BATTERY HAD DIED, AND I PAID TO REPLACE THAT. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I HAD VIDEO OF THE ALTERNATOR AND FUSES MALFUNCTIONING AND THEY STATED THEY DID NOT NEED THE VIDEO AS THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS POINTED TO AN ISSUE WITH THE WIN MODULE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER. I REQUESTED A TOW AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SUGGESTED I USE THE ACTUAL KEY INSTEAD OF THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION, WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN IN OCTOBER, AS THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN TO HAVE THE LONG CRANK ISSUE AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY ALTERNATOR, BUT A REPLACEMENT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY ALTERNATOR, BUT INFORMED ME THAT IT STILL WOULD NOT BE THE IMPROVED/RECALL PART. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK IN THREE (3) MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EVERY TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

VEHICLE STALLED TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITY WHICH CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. VEHICLE DID RESTART AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. VEHICLE RECALL R09 WAS ALLEGEDLY ADDRESSED BY ROUTE 46 DODGE IN NJ IN 2015.

RECALL T36/NHTSA 17V-435 FCA STILL HAS STATUS AS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS.

CRANKED THE CAR ONE MORNING AND WHEN STARTED DRIVING ,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND WAS LOOSING POWER. THE CAR WAS STALLING AFTER 20 MINUTES DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME WITH A MISFIRE CYLINDER #5. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC REVEAL BROKEN CAM SHAFT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 66773 MILES. THE REPAIR WAS DONE IT WAS LONG AND EXPENSIVE ABOUT $4500.

CAR WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS. CRANKED IT TO GO TO WORK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FIRST TEST INDICATED A MISFIRE IN #5. CHANGED PLUGS AND FILTER. NO CHANGE IN CAR. BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND $150 DIAGNOSTIC TEST REVEALED BENT CAM SHAFT.

THE FRONT MAIN CRANK SEAL BEGAN TO LEAK AND EJECT OIL ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. LUCKILY DISCOVERED BEFORE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING SEVERELY. LUCKILY NOTICED BEFORE OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION.

WE HAD A RECALL FIXED ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING.DIDN'T DO THAT BEFORE THE WORK

MY DODGE DURANDO 2012 HAVE TO MANY PROBLEMS MY CAR STOP WITHN IS RUNNING SEVERAL TIMES A TAKE TO DEALER THE CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP AND THE NEX DAY HAVE ENEGINE LIGTH TAKE BACK TO DEALER NOW THE SAID IS CATALYST , AND ARENT BUT MY CAR 2012 I BELIEVE IS NOT TO OLD TO HAVE TO MANY PROBLEMS I BELIEVE IT'S ALL FACTORY DEFAULT.

IN DECEMBER 2011 I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL FROM NORTHTOWN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (NDCJR), IN TONAWANDA, NY. I AM HAVING AN ISSUES WITH PERIODIC STALLING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IN APRIL 2016 WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT RIGHT VIA A THRUWAY RAMP THE DURANGO STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO NDCJR ON 4/30/2016 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE 'UNABLE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE'. IN JULY 2016, MY HUSBAND EXPERIENCED THE STALLING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. MY MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE CAME IN AUGUST OF 2016 WHEN I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD IN BUSY EVENING TRAFFIC, SLOWING DOWN TO MERGE INTO THE LEFT TURNING LANE, AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I CONTACTED NCDJR TO INFORM THEM THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND THAT I NEEDED MY VEHICLE SERVICED. NORTHTOWN HAD MY VEHICLE FROM 8/6/2016-8/30/2016 AND I WAS AGAIN TOLD, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE 'THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM'. ON THE EVENING OF THURSDAY, 9/29/2016 I WAS GETTING OFF AT AN EXPRESSWAY RAMP AND WAS SITTING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE, AND WHEN I ACCELERATED THE CAR MADE NO MOTION, I WAS AGAIN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. PER THEIR INSTRUCTION, I CONTACTED NCDJR AND TOLD THEM I WAS BRINGING THE VEHICLE RIGHT OVER. THEY AGAIN COULD NOT "DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" HOWEVER THEY DECIDED TO PUT A TRACKING DEVICE ON THE CAR SO THAT WHEN IT STALLS AGAIN IT CAN BE RECORDED. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP 6 DAYS LATER ON WEDNESDAY, 10/5/2016. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE PROPER CHANNELS, HOWEVER, I AM BEING ASKED TO CONTINUE TO PUT MY FAMILY, MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK BY DRIVING A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO HAVE ON THE ROAD IN THIS CONDITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

RECENTLY THE STARTER HAS FAILED 2 DAYS AFTER THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AT THE DEALERSHIP RELATING TO THE ALTERNATOR AND THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE SUV ONLY HAS 24,271 MILES ON IT. THE VECHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FAILED

ALTERNATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH BATTERY. PLEASE SEE RECALL P60 (NHTSA ACTION # PE14022) FOR SIMILAR RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BUT, RECALL MIGHT NEED TO BE EXPANDED FOR MY VIN. CAR WITHOUT WARNING WOULD NOT START. COMPLETELY DEAD EVEN ELECTRICAL. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. CAR HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES, LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD AND WELL MAINTAINED.

I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT CRANKS OVER FINE BUT WILL NOT FIRE. I HAVE TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, AND THEN IT STARTS FINE WHEN I RETRY IT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ( R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 ) BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I AM WORRIED THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY.

FOR THE PAST WEEK OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON SOME TIMES THE ENGINE IS GOING BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON. TODAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING 65-70 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO WARNING HE WAS ON THE FAST LANE SO HE HAD TO SAFELY GO TO THE RIGHT LANE TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST ANYMORE SPEED AND CAUSE AN MAJOR ACCIDENT. HE TRIED TURNING IT ON AND DID WITH TROUBLE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE STATING IT WILL TAKE 1- 12 MONTHS TO GET THE PART FOR THE RECALL FOR A PERMANENT FIX OR WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A TEMP. FIX. WHAT CAN WE DO?

OCTOBER 15, 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO CREW TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING ME TO DRIFT INTO A CONCRETE RETAINING WALL. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE BODY SHOP AND WAS INSPECTED BY MY GEICO INSURANCE. THE DAMAGE TOTALED $5500, $500 OF WHICH WAS MY DEDUCTIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY, A PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE BODY WAS UNAVAILABLE, SO I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR AN ESTIMATED 3 MONTHS UNTIL THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FROM DODGE. I WAS CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I KNEW IT MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE CAR DIRECTLY FROM THE BODY SHOP TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE NOTE ***GEICO INSURANCE DEEMED THE CAR "SAFE TO DRIVE" AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL. I TOOK THE DURANGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 24 HOURS AND DISMISSED ME TELLING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. NEITHER MY HUSBAND NOR I WERE SATISFIED BECAUSE IN MY 17 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND KNEW SOMETHING WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE STARTED THE CAR A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND IT WILL IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. I JUST RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NUMBER R09/NHTSA 14V-115. THIS SAFETY RECALL RELATES EXACTLY TO WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DURANGO. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE WITH IN THIS CAR, REFUSE TO GET ON ANY HIGHWAY WITH IT FOR FEAR OF IT SHUTTING DOWN AT 70 MPH, AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE PROOF OF THE $5500 IN REPAIRS, I HAVE PROOF OF THE $500 I SPENT ON MY DEDUCTIBLE, I HAVE PROOF THAT I TOOK IT TOOK A DODGE DEALERSHIP, AND I HAVE PROOF THAT MY CAR INSURANCE RATE HAS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED BECAUSE OF THIS CLAIM. I'M STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, NO ONE ACCEPTING BLAME, INCREASED INSURANCE RATE, $500 LESS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT, AND A CAR THAT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE I CAN'T RE-SELL. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY DIRECTION TO GET THIS INJUSTICE FINALLY SOLVED. SINCERE THANKS. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE USING THE PUSHBUTTON, THE VEHICLE WILL START TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT NEVER START. ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN VEHICLE IS TRYING TO TURN OVER, THE VEHICLE WILL START SHAKING VIOLENTLY LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO COME OFF. I HAVE CAUGHT THE WHOLE SCENARIO ON VIDEO. IT WAS EVERY NOW AND THEN IN THE BEGINNING, BUT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE AS IT GOES ON. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON. *TR

THE CAR HESITATES TO TURN ON AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED, THE FUEL PUMP REMAINS RUNNING WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START IT WOULD JUST KEEP TURNING OVER BUT NEVER CRANK EVENTUALLY STOPPING. I THEN WOULD ATTEMPT TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER THEN CRANK SHAKE VERY BADLY THEN SHUT OFF. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT IT WOULD FINALLY START AND STAY RUNNING. WHILE RUNNING OR IDLING ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH VIBRATING/SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT 2' WEEKS. I COULD REMOTE START IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM BUT WHEN IT CAME TO PUSH TO START IT ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM. I CALLED TO SET UP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND IT WAS TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN I FINALLY HAD AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR THE APPOINTMENT THE CAR HAD NOT DID THIS IN 3-4 DAYS. HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IT WAS. NOTHING WAS DONE. 4 DAYS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT AND HAVING 2 RECALLS FIXED ( ONE OF WHICH WAS BRAKE BOOSTER THAT THEY HAD ME HOLDING ON FOR 3 MONTHS ONLY DID THEY FIX IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE WATER PUMP,AND PULLEY. I WAS TOLD THE SAME ONLY 2-3 PARTS WERE COMING IN EACH MONTH. IF THERE IS A RECALL GET IT FIXED IN A TIMELY FASHION NOT ON YOUR OWN TIME SEE ARE PEOPLES LIVES!)AND SOME COMPUTER SYSTEMS REPROGRAMMED AND WATER PUMP AND IDLER PULLEY WERE REPLACED THE CEL CAME ON IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED THE CODE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. A DAY LATER BEFORE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD REOPENED THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND HAS NOT CAME BACK ON SINCE. I SEE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SEE THAT THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THIS.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 45 PER HOUR, WHEN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO JUST SHUT OFF IN STAGES, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT HOWEVER IT DID NOT WANT TO START FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE PUSH BUTTON, IT WOULD NOT START.ALSO IT HAS SINCE BEEN TURNING OVER, BUT NOT STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AND HAS DONE THIS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS INCLUDING WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING, AND AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN. *TR

CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN ONCE STARTED, WAS SPUTTERING, THEN CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TO DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE HAD A FAULTY TIPM. *TR

TWICE IN EARLY FEBRUARY, 2014, THE ENGINE (V-6) STOPPED RUNNING AND THE CEL POPPED UP. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CRUISING AT 50 MPH AND THE CEL CAME ON AND THE RPM WENT TO ZERO, BUT AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE RESTARTED BY ITSELF AT ABOUT 40 MPH, SO IT WAS OFF FOR LESS THAN 10-15 SECONDS. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AFTER MOVING ABOUT 6 FEET THE ENGINE DIED AND THE TACH WENT TO ZERO AND THE CEL CAME ON. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND CONTINUED WITH MY ERRANDS. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE ENGINE WAS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE FUEL TANK HAD AT LEAST 10 GALLONS. THE DEALER CHECKED THE CAR BUT FOUND NO CODES TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

PUSH START BUTTON, CAR GURGLES, SPITS AND SPUTTERS. TOLD TO TRY TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY NEED A CODE. PUT CAR INTO GEAR INSTANTLY DIED. NOW AT DEALERSHIP, COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ONE MONTH AGO, HAS HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE IT DIED ON THEM. ORDERING A NEW TIPM AFTER WE FOUND ONLINE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES! *TR

DURING ABOUT 1/3 OF ALL ENGINE STARTS, HOT AND COLD, THE ENGINE WILL RUN BRIEFLY (LESS THAN 5 SECONDS) AND THEN STALL.

PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE". WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SITTING IDLE ON A DRIVEWAY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND SMELL. PUNCHED GAS THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME HUGE WHITE BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE PUSHED OUT. SMELL OF BURNING METAL CAME WITH CLOUD OF SMOKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AT FIRST COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE AND STARTING IT UP THEY TOO GOT THE SMOKE, AND NOT JUST FROM MINE BUT FROM ANOTHER ON THE LOT. THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS THE OIL PAN DESIGN IS FAULTY AND THAT MY VEHICLE WILL SMOKE WHEN ON AN INCLINE, DRIVEWAY, HILL, STUCK IN TRAFFIC AT A SLOPE. THE EMISSIONS ARE HORRENDOUS AND I AM SHOCKED THAT A 57 HEMI ENGINE WOULD DO THIS. SHOCKED MORE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET FIXED IT. *JS

BRAND NEW VEHICLE LEASE. AT DEALERSHIP WHEN VEHICLE WAS PUT IN GEAR ENGINE STALLED 4 TIMES. SALESMAN ENTERED VEHICLE AND ACCELERATED ENGINE THEN PUT IN GEAR AND VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN AND STATED VEHICLE WAS OK. ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY WHEN COMING TO A STOP BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 50MPH INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY A ONCOMING TRACTOR TRAILER. AFTER LOCKING UP HIS BRAKES AN ACCIDENT WAS JUST BARELY AVOIDED. IT TOOK 4 TRIES TO GET THE DURANGO TO MOVE AGAIN WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER NOW AND THEY DO NOT KNOW AS OF YET WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND REFUSE TO GIVE ME A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR
