2012 DODGE DURANGO Power Train Problems

Electric problem

While picking my son up from religion my vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. Thankfully I was pulling into the church parking lot and was in no real danger. I tried to jump start the vehicle with no success, but did notice the insulation on the jumper cables had started to melt. Towed to mechanic and was told the alternator had failed, in turn fried the battery. He replaced both, but then discovered the PCM was fried as well. Took it to the dealer here and was told faulty alternator again, which was replaced again, only to be told the PCM was fried. Now I'm into this for $3000 and I have no faith in the vehicle, the manufacturer, or the dealerships.

I bought this vehicle second hand and was not warned of any recalls. I started having problems in April of 2023. Windshield wipers would turn on by themself, car would randomly shut off. I brought to several shops and nobody could figure out why it was reading “high voltage”. The car then started having occasional problems shifting. I eventually got on MOPAR website to be made aware there were 3 recalls and alternator was one of them. I called musson patout dodge in new Iberia, LA and made an appointment to fix my car. On the morning of our appointment the car died in the road on the way to dodge and wouldn’t restart without a jump. I brought it in and over the son of 3 days the fixed all the recalls. On my way to pick it up they called and made me aware it would need a new battery I told them I will go replace it as soon as I get the car. Since I picked up the car the shifting problems have not stopped. I have had a code reading “implausible data from tcm”. I have had a mechanic TELL me this recalled alternator going out is what cause this tcm to go out and Musson REFUSES to take it in and even diagnose it without over $170 that I don’t have to spend anymore. This is consequential damage that dodge should be held liable for and they are giving me the most difficult time, it’s my only vehicle for me and my 2 kids and I cant even drive it anymore.

This family car had recall back in august fuel module for powertrain check engine light got it fix and few days later check engine turn on and has turned off since car slows down on freeway wont pick up speed and stall on me twice already with kids in car was going 65 and all sudden slow down wiuldnt pick up acceleration and turn off has run good since still having issues dealership says noting wrong with it

upon approach to a left turn yield, I attempted to accelerate into traffic when the automatic transmission failed into 4th gear ( transmission shift solenoid) and was unable to shift up or down through the gears and was unable to shift into the drive position. there were no other indications of failure prior to this point, I.E no engine or transmission warning lights. if there would have been oncoming traffic at the time of entry into the flow of traffic it may have caused a catastrophic rear end accident due to the vehicle inability to accelerate as usual. will have the vehicle serviced immediately. this has happened once before with the same vehicle approximately 2 years ago and the transmission shift solenoid was the issue and had been replaced by a local service center at the time.

Lifter and limp mode problems. There is noise comming from engine. Took to shop and found out reason for noise and low power was lifters and is a very common problem. What brought the safety thing up is wife was in accident in March because couldn't get out of way quick enough. Had vehicle towed to shop from accident site and body repair. Thought was just a fluke and had damage repaired and noticed a ticking and power problems immediately after accident repair. Took to dodge dealer and found out common problem with the lifters cam and limp mode. Had at same repair shop for other recall 2 months prior for recall and inspection with no noise or issues.

2012 DODGE DURANGO HAS HISTORY OF STARTING AND STALLING PROBLEM. WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, IT WOULD STALL RIGHT AFTER YOU START IT. THE DEALER PERFORMED FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, AND PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE NEXT DEALER REMOVE THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY AND REPLACED TIPM, PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT FIXED. DEALER THEN RE-COMPLETED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL, PROBLEM STILL NOT FIX. NOW THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (T36) BUT DODGE IS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THAT RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IS CAN/WILL LEAD TO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHEN WE CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AS IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THE 4WD LOW LIGHT COME ON WITHOUT HAVING SWITCHED TO THAT SETTING. THE CAR ENGINE WAS RACING. I CAME TO A STOP AT A SAFE SPOT, SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SWITCHED THE 4WD LOW KNOB TO THE NORMAL POSITION OF AWD. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS; THE CAR WAS OPERATIONAL. THEN, I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH IN 2WD ON A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY. THE CAR SHIFTED INTO AWD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS ON A MUDDY SPOT, THEN THE AWD OFF LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING IN 2WD AND I DIDN'T SWITCH IT TO 4WD LOW. THE REPAIR PERSON SHIFTED IT INTO 4WD LOW AND IT GOT STUCK THERE. THE REPAIR PERSON SAID IT WAS THE TRANSFER MOTOR CASE OR A SENSOR, WITHOUT 100 CERTAINTY. I'M CONCERNED THAT, EVEN IF REPLACED AND REPAIRED WITH CURRENT MODELS OF THE TRANSFER MOTOR CASE, THE CAR WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFT INTO 4WD LOW WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AND CASE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO I NOTICED MY GEAR WOULD SHIFT TO MANUAL IN THE 4TH GEAR WITHOUT ME HAVING TO MOVE THE GEAR STICK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS COMMON IN A LOT OF DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER VECHILES. I TAKE MY CARE IN FOR REGULAR INSPECTIONS AND MAKE SURE MY CAR IS RUNNING. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURING MISHAP AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION CYCLOID.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO GO.I NOTICED THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO TAKE OFF AND LOOKED DOWN AND REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4TH GEAR.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING (VERY INTERMITTENTLY). DOES NOT LOG ANY ENGINE CODES AND MAINLY HAPPENS ON DECELERATION. BUT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY AND ALSO AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BUT ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS KEEP WORKING RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC... I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER CARE OPENED A CASE, WHICH THEY ASSISTED IN SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER. THE CASE WAS CLOSED BY CHRYSLER SINCE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS 76,000 AND HAS STALLED ON US SEVERAL TIMES I WOULD SAY (12) OVER THE 26,000 MILES WE HAVE POUT ON IT. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS COMPLAINT/PROBLEM WITH THE 2011/2012 DURANGO IT IS WIDELY KNOWN AND A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE TO BE IGNORING, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS.

MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO PURCHASED BRAND NEW HAS BEEN HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE THE MOTOR WAS POWER WASHED AT COVERT DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NORTH AUSTIN. THEY HAD AN INEXPERIENCED CAR WASHER CLEAN UP THE OIL THAT WAS ON THE MOTOR FROM A HOSE CHANGE. HE USED A VERY HIGH PRESSURE, PRESSURE WASHER AND IT SHORTED THE ELECTRONICS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT 3 DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON 9/22/2016 THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE GOING 75 ON THE HIGHWAY. I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF ELECTRICAL BURNING AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON, THE BLIND SPOT ALERT SYSTEM WAS STATING IT WAS INOPERABLE, THE AC STOPPED WORKING, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND BUZZER STATED TO GO OFF EVEN THOUGH MY BELT WAS FASTENED AND THEN THE DURANGO JUST SHUT OFF, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOLL ROAD HIGHWAY STRANDING ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT EVEN WORK. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO TRY TO RESTART IT BUT IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD, NOTHING WORKED AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK! I COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE HIGHWAY, SEVERAL CARS DID NOT REALIZE I WAS STOPPED AND LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES NEARLY MISSING ME. I WAS SO AFRAID SOMEONE WAS GOING TO RUN RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF ME AND THE CAR. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED THE MOPAR WARRANTY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND 1 HOURS LATER I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE 102 DEGREE HIGHWAY. AS A RESULT OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES, WHICH SEEM TO HAVE STARTED WHEN COVERT DODGE POWER WASHED THE ENGINE BAY, I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT THE VEHICLE CAN BE TRUSTED AND BE RELIABLE NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY FACTOR. AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE VEHICLE HISTORY, I FEEL I HAVE BEEN PATIENT AND COOPERATIVE IN ALLOWING CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIND A RESOLUTION. UPDATED 08/07/2017*JS

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES OR BRAKES AND THEY FOUND A LEAK. AT FIRST THEY QUOTED ME ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND ALL OF THE HOSES. IT WAS AROUND $1,100. MY HUSBAND BROUGHT IT BACK AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS ONLY LEAKING FROM THE ACTUAL COOLER AND THE HOSES DID NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED. IT IS LEAKING WHERE THE TUBE IS SAUDERED TO THE END CAP ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLER. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NOT COST ME OVER $900? THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I AM OVER THE 36,000 MILE MARK BUT THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. SHOULDN'T DODGE COVER FOR THIS REPAIR OR IT EVEN BE A RECALL SINCE IT'S FROM A DEFECT AND NOT ANY THING THAT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING? *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I HAVE VIDEO TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND READ THIS ISSUE WITH MANY PEOPLE SAYING IT IS THE TIPM DEFECT. ALSO, WHEN USING MY RIGHT BLINKER INSTEAD OF THE FRONT BLINKER WORKING MY FOG LIGHTS FLASH. FOR THE VEHICLE TO NOT START OR STALL IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND LIABILITY. *TR

I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION/ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER FROM "P" (PARK) TO "D" (DRIVE) THE NUMERAL "4" IS DISPLAYED IN THE EVIC (ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER) WHERE ONE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE LETTER "D". AT THIS POINT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD BUT WITH A DISTINCT LACK OF POWER. WHEN MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER TO THE LEFT -- THE ERS (ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECT) FUNCTION OF THE SHIFT LEVER IN NON-FUNCTIONING -- THE VEHICLE STAYS IN 4TH GEAR AND THE NUMERAL IN THE EVIC WINDOW IS STILL "4". THE VEHICLE IS "STUCK" IN 4TH GEAR. THE ONLY WAY TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO "NORMAL" FUNCTION IS TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. UPON RESTART THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER REPEATED ITSELF. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED (VIDEO USING AN IPHONE) ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
