2014 DODGE DURANGO Engine Problems

Dodge Durango Rt has developed the Evap system failure. After stopping to refuel the gas tank the engine will not restart till after several attempts and even after restarting it idles erratic and sputters even to point of a miss and shuts off. Then it will restart and slowly clear up, and operate normal till the next refuel. I've had it into several repair shops and dealerships only to have to purchase parts and pay for repair and experience the issue again. Considering it's fuel vapor related and could cause a explosive or flash fire event in the dry summer season possibly if the vapors become a large enough volume under the hood or in a closed space.

Car has stalled several times recently on the interstate at least 5 times. Randomly just shuts down. Once stopped the dash says shift in to park to start. Then it will start.

A new 3.6 Pentastar engine was installed in my 2014 Dodge Durango in July 2019, this repair was over $5,000 and FCA only granted a $1300 goodwill towards the cost. After maintaining the vehicle with a new engine in it, this engine is now failing too. The problem is due to the right cylinder head being damaged. This has caused a knocking noise emitting from the engine and rough idling whenever the vehicle is on. A tune up was done last year in December when check engine light came on, with new spark plugs and filters put in but this has not solved the issued. Taking the vehicle back to mechanic to do further diagnostic, a pressure test was done showing the 6 cylinder had no pressure. A damage head with possible damage to crankshaft rods and rocker arms. This vehicle is our main vehicle for our family, and the price to repair this damage on the second engine this car has had is too high. If we continue driving this vehicle, we would result in total power failure, worst case a blown engine. Complaints have been filed with Attorney General of the state of Florida along with the Better Business Bureau.

Rackin pinion, does not through engine light when issues arise, jerking, Lumbar in drivers set stop working, 120v outlet came out, water in back lumanis lamps, radio and all dash components do things on its own.

Manifold bolts regularly break on Dodge Durango V8 vehicles. Mine are broken, which results in exhaust leak and interferes with the exhaust system, leading to engine check lights and potentially other performance or emissions issues. Symptoms include a loud ticking sound that comes from the engine bay at startup. FCA issued a service bulletin on this known problem and many customers have reported this issue on internet forums dedicated to this vehicle. Several customers have had these bolts break multiple times. The engine block and the manifold are different materials so they expand at different rates with increase in temperature. This places excess stress on small diameter bolts, which eventually fail due to this defect.

Replace oil filter housing and sensor 3 times on vehicle within 2 years. This was completed twice at the dealership and once at a body shop. Driver side window motor control Button fell off and inside Spring broke.

The engine was making a loud clicking noise as soon as I started it up. I towed it to the dealer (Sports Durst) and the diagnostic said the engine needs rebuilding. The SUV has only 80.041 miles on it and the engine has deteriorated is a common problem with this mileage. There are comments all over the internet about the Hemi 5.7 engine failing around 80,000 miles. I should not have to pay to repair an engine this is already defective when it leaves the factory.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. The knocking had increased over time. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the lifters, camshaft, and valve cover needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

1st ALL of the interior lights won’t turn off no matter what you do. Doors all closed locked still stay on while driving can’t manually switch them off 2nd yesterday I went to pick up my daughter at school and the car all of a sudden just stopped running. It won’t start. Before it would do that and I had to exit the vehicle and use the remote start. Tried it this time and it said fob deactivated and just beeped. Then the alarm went off and wouldn’t turn off. When the alarm finally stopped the radio turned on for no reason but the car still won’t start. Fob has a new battery still won’t start. This car isn’t even old and only has 60,000 miles on it. Lucky I was pulling over and parking I could have died. Apparently this is a known issue it had to happen to me for me to find out about it. You’ll do a recall for cruise control but not this!!!’ Crazy this car is a defective death trap. It’s sitting on the curb in front of the house now since I had to have it towed home. I’m NOT driving it ever again.

THIS SPECIFIC MODEL I'M CURRENTLY LEASING IS A LIMITED MODEL. I'VE HAD IT FOR MAYBE 3 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, WERE ONLY TO USE E85 FUEL SO THAT IT COULD RUN SMOOTHLY. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MANY GAS STATIONS WHERE I LIVE CARRY THAT SPECIFIC GAS TYPE AND NOT MANY GAS STATIONS IN FLORIDA AND OTHER STATES ALONE, PROVIDE E85 FUEL WE ARE GIVEN NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE ALTERNATIVE GAS. IT'S BECOMING A NUISANCE WHEN WE WANT TO TRAVEL. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST APPEARED THE GAS GAUGE ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE TRUCK ISN'T ABLE TO REACH A FULL TANK. SOMETHING IS PREVENTING IT. THIS IS BECOMING AN INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO HAVE TO SEARCH AND GO TO JUST 2 GAS STATIONS MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER TO BE ABLE TO PUT GAS IN! MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE GAS STATIONS THAT DO OFFER THIS TYPE OF GAS ARE DOWN DUE TO MAINTENANCE. SINCE I'VE BEEN PUTTTING IN THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL WHICH IS THE 87, THE TRUCK ISN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND NOW I'M STARTING TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. IT'S A HEADACHE. I REALLY LOVE MY TRUCK AND DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY MY FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE COSTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.

2014 DODGE DURANGO, WITH 125,000. HAS RECENTLY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL/COOLAND HOUSING, WHICH HAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND COST $1800 (MEINEKE). NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF ROCKER/LIFTERS/CAM AT A COST OF $4,200 (RAMSEY DODGE, CHRYSLER JEEP). BOTH REPAIRS ARE KNOWN DEFECTS, BUT NOT WARRANTIED OR SUBJECT TO RECALL BY CHRYSLER DESPITE THESE WELL KNOWN ISSUES AND A RECENT LAWSUIT.

1. WHEN I WANT TO START MY CAR IT CRANKS MORE AND LONG AND DOES NOT START IN FIRST ATTEMPT, SECOND ATTEMPT IT STARTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD FUEL PUMP, AND WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED ITS JUST ONLY 110000KMS. SEND THE MESSAGE TO FCA THEY DOES NOT CARE THEY TOLD THE CAR FINISHED MANUFACTURER WARRANTY WE HAVE TO REPAIR AND ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THEM. FUNNY PART IS MY FRIEND ALSO TOOK THE SAME CAR SAME MODEL WITH ONE WEEK DIFFERENCE HE ALSO FACE THE SAME ISSUES ON SAME MONTH ON 2020 OCT I BELIVE. I ALREADY REPORTED BUT NO RESPONSE. THIS FUEL PUMP CAN CAUSE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ALSO IF PRESSURE FAILS AND NO SUPPLY OF FUEL THEN ITBCAN CAUSE ACCIDENT. THE OTHER THING IS SOME OTHER MANUFACTURER FOR AMERICAN AND GERMAN CARS ALREADY CALLED FOR RECALL DUE TO FUEL PUMP ON JAN 2021, STILL FCA MANUFACTURER DOES NOT CARE THEY JUST IGNORE THE COMPLAINT AND ISSUE TELLING WARRANTY FINISH. 2. MY SECOND ISSUE HAPPEND WHEN AROUND 65000 LMS ENGINE IS GIVING NOISE TICKING, DEALER TOLD TAPPET ISSUE WARRANTY FINISHED CANT DO ANYTHING. U CAN DRIVE ITS JUST GIVE SOUND ONLY. NOW THE SOUND IS INCREASED AND I INFORMED MANUFACTURER THEY TOLD Y I DID NOT TELL BEFORE MY WARRANTY FOR CAR IS FINISHED, AND IF WE GO AND CHECK 2014 MODEL DURANGO THE PROBLEM OS COMMON AND THEY DONT WANT TO FIX THEY JUST WANT US TO PAY HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR OUR OWN, THEY KNOWS THEIR CAR HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY NEVER BOTHERED. ON MY VIEW THEY HAVE TO TAKE INITIATIVE TO RECALL TO FIX. IF U GO TO COMPLAINT FORUM THERE IS LOT LIKE THIS PROBLM. FCA JUST DONT CARE AFTER THEY SELL THEIR CAR AND WANT TO PAY HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AMD DOES NOT GIVE RELIABLE CAR. NHSTA HAVE TO INVOLVE AND TAKE ACTION. HOPE I WILL GET POSITIVE ACTION FROM NHSTA WHERE MANUFACTURER IGNORED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A TICKING NOISE OCCURRED COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLICKERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE TICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT IT COULD BE THE LIFTER OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR, SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL PACKS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED JIMMY BRITT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (12114 US-301 S, STATESBORO, GA 30458) AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TICKING FAILURE HOWEVER, HER VEHICLE YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. I WAS MADE AWARE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM ON ALL DODGE DURANGO MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING OVER $1K FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH THE COMPANY SHOULD COVER.

I HAD SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAKS IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT 105,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET SERVICED. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID (PURCHASED AT DODGE DEALERSHIP) AND SERVICED ANY OTHER AREAS. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AND NOTICED IT WAS STILL LEAKING A GREAT AMOUNT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THINKING THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED. THE MECHANIC THEN ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS AN OIL LEAK NEXT TO THE OIL COOLER AND WHEN PARKED AT AN INCLINE, IT BEGINS TO LEAK PROFUSELY. HE SAID THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH DODGE DURANGO'S AND REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALLS. THEY INDICATED THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE SELDOM DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE PANDEMIC AND HAVE UPKEEP THE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016.

1. RECENTLY 2 WEEKS BACK MY CAR DURING STARTING IT CRANKS MORE TIME AND AFTER SWITCH OFF AND SECOND ATTEMPT IT STARTS. WHEN STARTING WITH REMOTE THE ENGINE STARTS NORMAL WITH NORMAL CRANKING. BATTERY VOLTAGE EVERYTHING CHECKED ALL OK. DEALER IS TELLING MAY BE FUEL PUMP TO CHECK EVEN THEY ASK MORE MONEY. MY CONCERN IS MY FRIEND ALSO BOUGHT SAME MODEL CAR ON SAME WEEK PURCHASED AND WHEN I CHECKED WITH HIM HE ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND PROBLEM CAME SAME TIME. THAT MEANS THE COMPONENT HAVE SOME MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH WILL RESULT IN SAFETY. MANUFACTURER SHOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND RECALL FOR THE DEFECT AND FIX DUE TO SAME BATCH CAR HAVE SAME FAULT OR DEFECT. 2. MY CAR ENGINE HAVE SOME TICKING NOISE WHICH WAS NOTICED JUST AFTER FINISHED THE WARRANTY. SO WHEN CHECKED WITH DEALER HEY TOLD WARRANTY FINISHED THIS IS VALVE LIFTER ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE CHANGED WHICH THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH AND I ASKED FOR JUST CROSSED WARRANTY KILOMETER OF 60000, IT CAME AROUND 65000 KM AND WHEN I TOLD DEALER THEY ADVISE TO CHANGE AND NOTHING CAN BE REPORTED I HAVE TO PAY FULL AND IT WIL NOT HARM YOU CAN DRIVE, NOW CAR DROVE AROUND 118000KM WITH THAT SOUND AND NOW I CAN HEAR THE SOUND IS MORE THIS ALSO SOME MANUFACTURER ISSUE WHICH DEALER DID NOT NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER TELING JUST CHANGE THE PARTS VALVE LIFTER AND MAY BE CAMSHAFT ETC. IF THIS ISSUE US COMING JUST AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD THE COMPANY SHOULD TAKE UNTI ACCOUNT THE ISSUE AND FIND SOLUTION BY RECALLING AND FIXING THE ISSUE.

INTERMITTENT NO START CONDITION/START AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME WHICH STARTED AFTER VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER TO COMPLETE TRANS COOLER CONDENSER/MOTOR MOUNTS/RADIO REPLACEMENT. CAN HAPPEN AT COLD START OR AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN A COURSE OF ALMOST 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO SCOTT ROBINSON DODGE IN TORRANCE, CA 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. HAD ME REPLACE BATTERY AND STARTER. CONDITION STILL EXISTS. DEALER IS PLAYING GUESSING GAMES WITH THE REPAIRS NEEDED FOR MY VEHICLE. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK FUSES AND WIRES TO TIPM. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS BEING AFFECTED BY THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 AND OTHERS WHICH AFFECTED 2011-2013 DURANGO'S. OTHER 2014 DURANGO OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. A RANDOM NO START/STALL CONDITION IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THAT INCREASES MY CHANCES OF A STALL, CRASH AND BEING STRANDED. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR SCARED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IF THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND COMPLETE REPAIRS, THEN WHO CAN?? I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND NO LOANER GIVEN BY THE DEALER. IF IT WEREN'T FOR COVID, I'D REALLY BE OUT OF LUCK WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. CHRYSLER NEEDS REVIEW AND EXPAND THE CURRENT RECALLS TO INCLUDE 2014 MODELS OR MAYBE A NEW ISSUE NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED AND BROUGHT TO LIGHT. VEHICLE ISSUE STARTED 09/05/20 AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. SUV TAKEN TO DEALER 10/09/20, 10/21/20 & 11/04/20 FOR ISSUE. THEY ALSO ADVISED ON MY 10/21/20 VISIT THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN WHICH IS CAUSING A TICKING NOISE AT START UP. THIS WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED AT PREVIOUS VISITS AND NOISE HAS BEEN THERE. I HAVE ATTACHED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL TAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED ONLINE BY OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS THAT THE DEFECT WAS RELATED TO THE ENGINE LIFTERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND TRANSFERRED TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TICKING NOISE WHEN ENGINE WAS RUNNING. MECHANIC WAS FAMILIAR WITH NOISE. STATED IT WAS A BAD ROCKER ARM.WHEN IT WAS TAKEN APART FOUND THAT THE BAD ROCKER HAD ALSO DAMAGED CAM SHAFT . ENDED UP REPLACING ALL ROCKERS AND CAMS AT A COST OF 2400.00. MECHANIC ALSO STATED THIS WAS A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE MOTORS

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE 80 MILES FROM HOME THE COOLANT LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE TEMP GAUGE RAN HOT. PULLED OVER AND COOLED DOWN; LIGHTS WENT OFF. PULLED UP INFO FOR A NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND TRIED TO DRIVE TO IT . ONLY GOT ABOUT A MILE AND LIGHTS AND GAUGE WENT OFF AGAIN. TRIED TO FIND A SAFE SPACE TO PULL OVER ON INTERSTATE; THE SHOULDERS ARE VERY NARROW ON I45. WHEN PULLED OVER ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND I TURNED ENGINE OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. CALLED TOW TRUCK, DEALERSHIP REPLACED WATER PUMP BUT THEN FOUND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. FCA KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH WATER PUMP BECAUSE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON IT BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY ON ENGINE BECAUSE THEY SAY I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON WHICH I DIDN'T. IF WATER PUMP HAD BEEN RECALLED I NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING IN PARK YOU CAN HEAR A CLICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. WHEN IN PARK AND YOU EXCELERATE THE GAS THE CLICKING SOUNDS GETS FASTER. WHEN IN DRIVE THE SAME THING HAPPENS. NO ACTUAL ISSUES WITH ENGINE YET, BUT WITH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HIGHER MILEAGE. RESEARCH AND BRINGING IT TO A MECHANIC HAS COME TO THE CONCLUSION OF A BAD CAM SHAFT AND ROCKERS. TOTAL PARTS AND LABOR WOULD TOTAL CLOSE TO $2,000.

WHEN CRANKING UP MY VEHICLE I HEARD A TICKING NOISE, AS I STARTED TO DRIVE THE NOISE BEGAN TO GET LOUDER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A BAD LIFTER IN THE ENGINE IT WILL COST OVER $2000 TO GET FIXED OR MORE. I ONLY HAVE 135,000 MILES ON MY DURANGO CITADEL THAT IS A 2014. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF ENGINE ISSUE THIS SOON. I AM HIGHLY UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS, I BARELY HIT 40K AND I AM EXPERIENCING A LOT OF LIFTER NOISE. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED FOR THIS PURPOSE. WHEN IT'S STATIONARY THE SOUND IS A LOT LOUDER THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

Mileage: 39,000

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON SHOWING CODE P0430. THIS CODE SHOWS BANK 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AND SHORT TIME LATER THE CODE SHOWED UP AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE MAINTENANCE SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE VALVE SEALS ARE LEAKING OIL INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. ALSO WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE VEHICLE POURS OUT BLUE SMOKE WHICH IS OIL BURNING. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE.

I WANTED TO ADD TO THE MOUNTING NUMBER OF NOISY LIFTER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MY 2014 DURANGO HAD THE 100K MILE WARRANTY AND AT APPROX 96K STARTED HAVING LIFTER NOISE. DELEARSHIP WAS AWESOME (SANDY SANSING IN MILTON) WITH FIXING THE VEHICLE. NOW AT 122K MILES I AM HAVING THE ISSUE AGAIN. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE AWESOME A SECOND TIME. MY COMPLAINT IS THEY ONLY REPLACED MY #2 ROCKER AND LIFTER ALONG WITH THE EXHAUST CAM. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. BUT I GET IT, YOU CANT MAKE MONEY THAT WAY. DODGE FIX YOUR PROBLEM PENTASTAR! OH YEAH DEALERSHIP PROVIDED A RENTAL AND EVERYTHING DURING MY WEEK LONG REPAIR.

Mileage: 121,628

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF. ALL ELECTRICAL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL AND NO WARNINGS APPEARED. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE." I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AT VARYING SPEEDS UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHO HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS AND WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE OR DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. NO CODES WERE STORED IN THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 109,000

MECHANIC STATED IT WAS A BAD LIFTER IN ENGINE CAUSEING A TICKING SOUND. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, IT HAS SHOWN ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH ALOT OF YOUR DURANGO MODELS AND ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS NOT BEING A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE LESS THAN 88,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS WITH FAR LESS MILEAGE HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE AND DODGE/CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 87,740

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT AS MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HAD AN OIL LEAK. OIL ENDS UP ALL OVER YOUR GARAGE, ROAD, DRIVEWAY IN THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL ON THE GROUP AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. AFTER TAKING TO LOCAL MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE "COOLING ASSEMBLY OR A SENSOR WAS LEAKING". IT TURNS OUT MY CAR THE ENTIRE COOLING ASSEMBLY WAS BAD. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT 3 OTHER CHYSLER/DODGE PRODUCTS WERE IN HIS SHOP OVER THE PAST WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, WHEN HE RECEIVED THE PART FROM THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER, THEY ORIGINALLY HAD 5 IN STOCK THAT WEEK AND I GOT THE LAST ONE. SO, THIS APPEARS TO BE A FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURED PART THAT LEAKS OIL AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE, ILLNESS, ETC. PART AND LABOR COST ME $650.00. MY 2014 DURANGO HAS 65,000 MILES AT TIME OF POSTING.

Mileage: 65,000

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC (NOT A DODGE DEALERSHIP). THEY DID A SCAN AND THE CODE SAID MISFIRE, SO THEY RECOMMENDED A TUNE UP. $500 LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MY SON TOOK IT TO DODGE WHO SAID MISFIRE, LEFT HEAD. THE V6 ENGINE I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM UP TO 2013 AND DODGE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE LEFT HEAD TO 150K MILES. THEY TOLD US I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 5 WEEKS OR 3K MILES, SO THE REPAIR WOULD COST $2700.00. I CALLED DODGE CORPORATE FOR HELP AND WAS TOLD TOUGH, WE CANT HELP YOU. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN EARLIER YEARS. NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AS THEY SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE 2014 V6 PENTASTAR ENGINE.

ON JULY 8, 2019, FROM A STOP, LIGHT ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING AS IF IT WAS MISFIRING OR NOT GETTING FUEL, UP AND DOWN SHIFTING, HARD UP SHIFTING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING MAYBE 10 TIMES THEN STAYED OFF. CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND RAN AS IF NO PROBLEMS OCCURED. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP TO SCAN THE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND NO ENGINE CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER AND STATED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, THEN TO BRING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2016. THE A/C WHEN TURNED ON BLOWS HOT AIR. AFTER I START THE VEHICLE AND LET IT RUN A MINUTE THE AIR IS WARM. IF I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION FOR 5 MINUTES OR MORE THE AIR IS HOT AS IF THE HEATER IS ON. NO ISSUES CAN BE FOUND AS FAR AS LEAKS OR ANYTHING ELSE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. THE A/C WAS NOT USED IN OCTOBER SINCE IT IS HOT BUT WHEN I USE THE REMOTE START THE AIR WILL TURN ON BUT NEVER GETS COLD.

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AROUND 65K MILES. WHEN I SCHEDULED MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT MY DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY CAM LIFTER AND ROCKER ARMS REPLACED. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH 65K MILES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $1,800 TO HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IF I HAVE THE 60K MILE CHECK UP FOR $800 ON THE VEHICLE THAT DODGE WILL COMPLETE THE REPAIRS FOR FREE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND SPEAKING WITH OTHER DURANGO OWNERS I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2014-2015 DODGE DURANGO AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DURANGO BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. IT IS CURRENTLY IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT THAT I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON 3/9/19. IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY UNTIL MY WIFE DROVE IT TO WORK THE FOLLOWING MONDAY MORNING. ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK SHE STARTED TO SMELL AN OVERWHELMING BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. I DROVE IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE OIL CHANGE TOOK PLACE AND THEY OUTRIGHT LIED TO ME TELLING ME IT WAS A PLASTIC BAG BURNING ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY COULD NOT PROVE IT WHEN I ASKED THEM TO SHOW ME. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR THIS TUESDAY. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS HAD THE ISSUE AND THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THESE VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT IN A FE INSTANCES THE ISSUE WAS DUD TO A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IN THE NHTSA SITE, IT DOES NOT COME UP AS A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS THE RECALL COMPLETED. WHY WOULD MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO BE PART OF THAT RECALL? VIN [XXX] AND ALSO IF THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE WHY WOULD I AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE.

MY 2014 DURANGO HAS BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FOR OVER 3 YEARS NOW. I TOOK MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME STORY, 'WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING' I EVEN HAD ONE DEALERSHIP TELL ME 'SORRY WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, IT'S LIKE TRYING TO FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.' ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 5TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED. NOW IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THEIR HAIR, JUST WHAT THEY WANTED. I NEED TO HELP ON WHAT TO DO IN THIS SITUATION. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THEY FIXED SOME PROBLEM I HAD A FEW YEARS BACK, THEY ACTUALLY BROKE MY GAS TANK DOOR AFTER WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS ONCE AGAIN COME BACK WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. TODAY MY CAR WON'T START AND IS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD A MECHANIC COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP ONCE AGAIN. WHO'S WORKING ON THESE CARS? DRUNKS? I NEED HELP ASAP. I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE KNOCKING NOISE OCCURS EVERY TIME I'M DRIVING. NO MATTER THE ROAD CONDITIONS. SMOOTH, BUMPING, RAINING, THE KNOCKING SOUND IS THERE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A ROCK HITTING UNDER THE HOOD. IT'S NOT CONSTANT BUT HAPPENS EVERY 3-5 MINUTES AND I KNOW IT'S NOT THE LIFTERS BECAUSE I'VE ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM ALREADY AND IT'S BEEN FIXED. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. .

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A VERY BAD RAINSTORM AT NIGHT ON JANUARY 16TH, 2019. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 50 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE NUMBER THREE LANE, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF, WHERE I LOST COMPLETE POWER TO MY ENGINE. MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED FROM 50 TO 30 MPH IMMEDIATELY, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER, TO BARELY MAKE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. NO POWER, NO BRAKE, NO STEERING-NOTHING. MY HORN WAS ALSO HONKING, MY HEADLIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ATTEMPTING TO MOVE BUT UNABLE TO, AND SPEAKERS MAKING WEIRD NOISES. AND TO MAKE THINGS EVEN MORE SCARY, MY 9 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND POSSIBLY ISSUE A RECALL. I FEEL THAT I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT MY SON AND MYSELF WERE NOT SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED, WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT WARNING. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO CRUISE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, NO DOUBT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK AT A STANDSTILL BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AVERAGING 50-60 MPH. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED, AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FROM THE RAIN AND IT SHORTED OUT MY ELECTRICAL. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT? THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER EXPLANATION, AND ACTION TAKEN TO PREVENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING. THAT CAR SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING FROM 50 MPH TO 0 MPH ON A FREEWAY COULD HAVE COST MY SON AND I OUR LIVES. I AM EXPECTING TO HEAR BACK FROM DODGE REGARDING THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED, AND I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE DURANGO, SO I KNOW THIS IS NOT A FLUKE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU.
