2011 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF DURING TURNS AND WHEN SLOWING TO COME TO A STOP. IT IS FRIGHTENING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER WHO TELLS ME THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL YET I HAVE READ SIMILAR CONCERNS AS MINE ON THE INTERNET WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING IT. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS BEFORE IT COSTS ME MY LIFE? IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT ONCE IS TOO MUCH.

THE 4WD MESSAGE STARTING DISPLAYING ON MY DASHBOARD, THE AWD/LO NEUTRAL LIGHT WAS ON, I TRIED FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL TO TURN IT OFF, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I TRIED AGAIN TO GET THE MESSAGE TO SHUT OFF BY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS THEN MY CAR BEGAN TO GO IN REVERSE, MY BREAKS WOULD NOT WORK, AND I HAD TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON. EVEN WITH THE CAR SHUT OFF THE CAR WILL ROLL, I HAVE KEPT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON AND WAITING FOR A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DURANGO'S AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL THESE FAULTY SWITCHES. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS I COULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL CAUSING DANGER FOR ANYONE AROUND.

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED EXITING THE SAME EXIT ON A RIGHT SHARP TURN AT THE SAME PART OF THE TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAD TO FORCE ALL MY WEIGHT TO TURN IT AND PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE SIDE. DODGE DEALER CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT WANTED TO KEEP CAR TO INVESTIGATE. I FILED A COMPLAINT AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH FIRST OWNER FOR THIS HAPPENING AND IT WAS SUPPOSIVELY FIXED, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ENTIRELY FIXED. I AVOIDED THAT EXIT THINKING I TEMPORARILY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIRD TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS ON A LEFT HAND TURN. NO ONE WAS BEHIND US SO WE AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED. CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY RESTARTED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN USING SAME CASE NUMBER FROM BEFORE BUT I WAS TOLD THERES NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. 4TH AND 5TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED TODAY , FIRST WAS AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC, NO TURN. I PRESS GAS AND REALIZED MY ENGINE WAS OFF WHILE ELECTRICAL STAYS ON, SO MY AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO WEREN'T EFFECTED. AND LAST I TURNED RIGHT INTO A DRIVE WAY AT WORK, ENGINE TURNED OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. THE FIRST TWO TIMES HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY EXIT. I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR THAT MY CHILDREN RIDE IN AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WANT TO HELP WITH PROBLEM. I DON'T MIND PITCHING IN TO HELP PROBLEM. I TRIED TRADING IN TO DODGE BUT DIDNT HAVE DOWN PAYMENT FOR NEW ONE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND, LOST POWER AND IT STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I GOT IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. I CUT ENGINE OFF AND THAT WAS IT. I TRIED TO RE START AND IT JUST KEPT TURNING OVER. IT IT ONLY HAVE 61,522 MILES ON IT. MANCANIC CAME OUT AND SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.

HAD THE FUEL PRESSURE RELAY RECALL REPLACED. IS NOT HAVING STARTING ISSUES AGAIN. ALL INDICATIONS ARE THE TICM AND IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE. CAR WILL SPIN AND NOT START OR START, RUN POORLY AND DIE.

HEMI V8 CAM & LIFTERS FAILURE DOE TO DESIGN FLAW HAD TO ALSO CHANGE OIL PUMP DOE TO METAL SHAVINGS GETTING IN THERE COSTLY REPAIR MINE HAPPENED AT 144,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WOULD HESITATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 501 N WEST END BLVD, QUAKERTOWN, PA 18951, (215) 536-0946), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

OIL FILTER ADAPTOR HOUSING RECALL - WHEN I TOOK THIS TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC HE STATES THIS HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR 6 MONTHS. PER THE INTERNET THIS AFFECT MODELS FROM 2011 TO 2019. THIS IS CAUSING AN OIL LEAK. THIS CAN CAUSE THE WHOLE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO THE EXHAUST.

THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. BEFORE I WAS AT A PLACE TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY (TWO MILES) THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. SO THERE I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE 220 AMP ALTERNATOR HAD THE FAULTY DIODE LIKE THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE DIODE FAILED AND CAUSED A DEAD SHORT. THE ALTERNATOR SHORT RUINED THE BATTERY AND THE PCM. THIS IS THE T36 RECALL TO A 'T' BUT DODGE SAYS MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS IT'S NOT RECALLED. THE PARTS AND LABOR WERE 1411.88. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE TOW SERVICE BILL OR THE RENTAL CAR THAT I HAD TO USE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS BEING ALLOWED TO RIP PEOPLE OFF KNOWING FULL WELL ITS THEIR WORTHLESS PARTS AT THE ROOT OF IT ALL. NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY SHOULD SIT BY AND BE A SPECTATOR AS CHRYSLER ROBS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT OVER 1000 EACH. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND QUIT STICKING IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO BUY THIS GARBAGE.
