2011 DODGE DURANGO Unknown Or Other Problems

Car dies while driving at speed. Also will die at low speeds such as when turning or parking or waiting at a stop light. Sometimes have to wait before restart if dies at speed. If dies at low speed will start right back up. Dealer says no codes. Even when it died while on the techs computer he could not see a problem. These cars have been notorious for electrical problems due to Totally Integrated Power Module. Fuel relay recall did not solve the issue.

When slowing down the FWC warning comes on and the vehicle completely shuts down. I have to put it in park and restart it. This is very unsafe, as it happens at intersections, turnpikes, sometimes when turning causing BIG SAFETY ISSUES and we are lucky has not caused a crash yet.

The alternator suddenly failed with no warning lights or lamps indicating a problem. I was driving when the car suddenly stalled and I managed to get home . Heavy smoke was coming from under the hood and when I raised the hood heavy smoke was coming up out of the alternator and I could smell burning wires. I had it towed to Elder Dodge and they confirmed that the alternator was burnt out and it fried the PCM and other electrical components. The safety issue was it could've caught the whole engine on fire and it could have caused a wreck with traffic behind us. I contacted the FCA and sent all information that they requested for reimbursement but they refuse to reimburse me for a faulty alternator that short circuited and caught on fire. I am contacting you for help with this matter so they will reimburse me for damages done to my Durango.

The engine valve stem failed prematurely due to poor quality manufacturing. Due to this low quality product it has created low compression in the engine. This has triggered multiple codes such as misfire, ETC, and has affected the acceleration of the vehicle as well as performance and at times from even starting. My family's safety has been put at risk due to stalling of the vehicle in traffic.This was inspected by a proper mechanic who looked into my engine with a camera and used diagnostic tools. There was no lights active during fault..

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.

ALTERNATOR FAILURE

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION THESE IS A RATTLING/ VIBRATION FROM FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. TYPICALLY BETWEEN 1000-3000RPM IN ANY GEAR OR ROAD CONDITION.

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.

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.

Mileage: 60,000

CAR WONT RUN I SWITCH THE KEY ON IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE ENTIRELY SHAKING AND IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO START BUT IT DOESN'T IT SHUTS OFF ON IT'S OWN. I GOT THIS CAR FROM CARMAX SUMMER OF 2014 I'M STILL PAYING FOR IT EVERY MONTH I'VE FIXED IT OUT OF POCKET FOR THE ALTERNATOR. WHICH WAS ONE OF THE RECALLS IT HAD. I TOOK IT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO TO THE CHRYSLER CENTER NEAR BY AND HAD EVEN MORE VARIOUS RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF. I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS TIME I CALLED AND CHECKED IN WITH THE CHRYSLER CENTER I TOOK IT TO IS SAYING THERE'S NO NEW RECALLS ON MY CAR. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MONTHLY FOR A CAR THAT I CANT DEPEND ON ITS NOW SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I NEED HELP.

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?

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.

Mileage: 68,000

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mileage: 115,060

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).

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.

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!

I OWN A 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL WITH 53,000 MILES. WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE WHEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINE, TURNED AROUND WENT BACK HOME, TURNED OFF THE CAR, COULD SMELL BURNING WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR (220 AMP) WAS SMOKING. IF I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN ANY LONGER THE ALTERNATOR MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND COULD HAVE BURNT MY CAR TO THE GROUND.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COME ACROSS A ROUGH SPOT THAT IS UNAVOIDABLE (WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADS) MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS ROCKING AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT RESEMBLES A FLAT TIRE. I HAVE TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY NOTICEABLE RATTLE/NOISE/VIBRATION UNDER THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS HELPED.

WE HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SUV SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. OUR LATEST ISSUE IS THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT STAY OPEN AND IT JUST SLAMS SHUT AND OVER RIDES THE SAFETY FEATURE OF IF AN OBJECT OR PERSON IS IN THE WAY IT WOULD GO BACK OPEN. CURRENTLY AS IT IS IT WOULD CRUSH A PERSON, THE ISSUE MAKES IT SO WE CAN NOT EVEN USE OUR REAR HATCH. THERE WAS A NOTICE SENT OUT BY THE TSB ON FEB. 1, 2013 NUMBER 08-005-13 ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOW IT NEEDS A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR IT TO BE LOOKED AT. FIRST THAT IS SO NOT RIGHT AS IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO THEM AND THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SECOND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THIS SUV FROM IS 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME THEY REFUSE TO WORK OUR SUV AND WANT US TO DRIVE 80 PLUS MILES TO HAVE IT WORKED ON., THIS IS NOT RIGHT AS I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM WHY SHOULD I ENDURE THE TIME AND EXSPENSE OF FIXING AN ISSUE WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. WE ASK THAT YOU GUYS STEP IN AND MAKE THEM MAKE RIGHT BY THIS AND FIX THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS COMMON FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC I COULDN'T PULL TO THE SIDE. I GOT FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ALTERNATOR BUT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECENT RECALL SINCE I HAVE THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR. THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I WAS SHOCKED SINCE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR (WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) THAT CAUSED THE RECALL OF THE 160AMP ALTERNATORS. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING CONCERNING THIS. ONCE AGAIN THEY HAVE FAILED ME. CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING AN AVERAGE OF $1400 TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH NO RECALL OR WARRANTY. I HAVE 4 PICTURES OF MY SOOT COVERED ALTERNATOR ( I AM A FIREFIGHTER I KNOW WHAT ELECTRICAL SOOT LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE). THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO THINK I COULD LOSE MY DURANGO COULD CATCH FIRE, LOOSE POWER AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE MY WIFE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THIS.

TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING FROM THE AC CONDENSER OF MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THERE IS PURPLISH FLUID ON MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CONDENSER IS COVERED IN FLUID. WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CONDENSER, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART AND THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS OUT. THEY WANT $110 JUST TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHERE THE FLUID IS COMING FROM. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BECAUSE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE 2015 DODGE DURANGOS. VEHICLE IS RUNNING A LITTLE SLUGGISH AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY ALSO BE A FIRE HAZARD.

I COULD NOT GET ANY OF THE RECALLS FIXED! 2 DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WOULD ONLY LOOK AND NOT CORRECT MY BRAKE ISSUE. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE MY DURANGO THERE!

MY SUV STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I KEPT DRIVING IT FOR 2 DAYS. THE STALLING CONTINUED DAILY AND IT TOOK A FEW ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. ONE NIGHT WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED, IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, THE SOUND OF AIR BEING RELEASED WASN'T ANY OF MY TIRES. THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM UNDER NEATH THE CAR LIKE WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTEREY AND TESTED IT OUT OVER THE WEEKEND. I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND MY CAR STARTED MAKING A HUMING SOUND WHEN ON AND AS I WOULD DRIVE IT. THE DAY THAT I WAS DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A BUNCH OF SMOKE WAS COMING IN FROM THE AC VENTS WITH SMALL PARTICALS. I HAD TO TURN OFF MY AC. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK NOW AND SO FAR THEY FOUND THAT THE ALTERNATOR ISN'T WORKING.
