2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

Water gets into track lights, short circuiting entire tailgate lighting including license plate light, back up camera, and tailgate panel lighting.

The front passenger and third row passenger seat belts are locked and unusable. I can't have anyone sit in the front seat as it is locked at a position that it will not click in and will just dangle. The third row passenger seat belt also will not retract or come out.

In October 2014, a recall was called for some 2014 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees because a electrical issue where the air bag light intermittently comes on and turns off repeatedly. My vehicle was not included but it is having the same issue which almost seems like a short in wiring. This is an issue that widely discussed in the Durango chat as other people are told as well that their 2014 is not included but they have the same issue.

Randomly car will flash shifter issue, brake issues, no bus, and many others. Wipers will then turn on and will go off by beeping horn. Then dash goes black. Sometimes during these frequent episodes transmission won’t shift out of low gear. Turn car off and it’s dead. Randomly restarts and acts normal for a bit. A month ago fuel pump went and paid $800 to repair. Been happening for a year. Today car is dead in driveway but randomly wipers began moving. Beep horn turns wipers off. This car is not right. Chrysler needs to be accountable and recall the TIPM box in these vehicle.

Driver side third row seat belt will not retract. It came out and stayed out all of the way. It is unusable . I've tried everything to get it to go back in.

The active head restraint system deployed on passenger side while sitting at a traffic light with no warning or impact to another vehicle.

Front passenger’s headrest airbag deployed while parked. Nothing hit us, my daughter was in the seat.
