2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MIENTRAS ESTOY CONDUCIENDO (EN MOVIMIENTO) EL VEHCULO EN AWD AUTO CAMBIA A LOW RANGE, ENCIENDE LA LUZ AWD Y SE PONE PESADO, AL DAR REVERSA SE TRANCAN LAS GOMAS HACIENDO UN RUIDO FUERTE Y SE TORNA PESADA AL DAR CURVA Y AL CORRER.

LIFTER AND CAMSHAFT FAILED ON 3.6 V6 ENGINES. HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE ON 2011-2015 DODGES THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND ALSO POSES A SAFETY CONCERN IF ENGINE FAILS WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AS STATED BY THE PRIOR RECALL, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOUGH MY CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING AT ANY TIME. IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK THAT I AM DRIVING A 'FIXED' CAR AND AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE. MY CAR NOW UNLOCKS AND LOCKS AS WELL, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I CANNOT KEEP SAFELY ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN MY VEHICLE OR PREVENT IT FROM BEING BROKEN INTO. THE INTIAL RECALL REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. I AM WAITING FOR IT TO STALL OUT.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2020 11TH, IT DROVE LIKE IT HAD BAD GAS IN IT. IT WANTED TO GO WHEN I ACCELERATED BUT SLOW TO MOVE. I WAS NOT TOLD BY THE DEALER NOR GIVEN CAR FAX ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE DANGEROUS IT COULD POSE TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I HAD A LEAK, WHICH HAD TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION AND I REPAIRED IT OUT OF OUR OWN EXPENSES BC IT WASNT COVERED. IT ALSO STOPPED TURNING ON AS WELL. MY HUSBAND WAS VISITING HIS SISTER, AND IT CUT OFF WHILE COMING ONTO THE ON THE RAMP OF A LOCAL STREET. EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAID AS NOTIFIED IN DECEMBER 2020 HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY ROAD. I AM THANKFUL IT WAS MY HUSBAND AND NOT ME AND MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. THAT DAY WAS JANUARY 1ST 2021, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOME, AAA ONLY ALLOWS ONE TOW. AND GATE OF DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. IT IS STILL THERE. AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS ON BACK ORDER THE PART AND WONT BE IN UNTIL FEBRUARY. I AM WITHOUT A LOANER AS WELL AS A RENT A CAR. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP IN MY HOME WONT HAVE THE PART UNTIL FEBUARY AND I ALREADY DROVE TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM OVER 100 MILES AWAY 2X SINCE OUR PRUCHASE AND ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE ROAD AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE ALTERNATOR WAS VERY HOT AND HAD MELTED. THE CONTACT SMELT BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (BUD CLARY MOSES LAKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 12174 N FRONTAGE RD E, MOSES LAKE, WA 98837 (509) 707-8358). THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER CURRENTLY UNREPAIRED AND AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.*DT*JB

MY DURANGO STARTED TO SPURTER AROUND 30 MPH AND AGAIN AT AROUND 50 MPH. IT ALSO SEEM TO NOT HAVE TO POWER TO GET THE DURANGO TO GET UP AND GO IT SEEM TO LAG AND NOT HAVE THE POWER. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECALL PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. BACK IN 2018 I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO NEW PRODUCT TO REPLACE THE RECALL PART AND HERE WE ARE IN 2020 AND STILL DODGE HAS NOTHING TO REPLACE THE BAD PART WITH. I AM HAVING TO PURCHASE THE PART THAT IS NOT WORKING AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW BAD PART. DODGE IT IS TIME TO GET IT TOGETHER AND FIX IT

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY SERIOUS ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THIS PAST WEEK (11/18) IN OUR 2013 DODGE DURANGO SUV. SHE WAS HIT IN THE REAR QUADRANT AND FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES COMING TO A REST ON THE ROOF. WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN (WHO WERE LUCKILY NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME) WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED IF NOT KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT AS NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS HAPPENED ON MERRITT PARKWAY IN CT*DT*AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED RICK HENDRICK JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT DEALER (8333 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406) AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF AN INTERIM REPAIR FOR VEHICLES THAT HAD DIFFICULTY IN STARTING. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START IMMEDIATELY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THERMOSTAT HOUSING, WATER PUMP, AND HEAD GASKET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,734. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A FEW DAYS LATER FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS CODE P0741: TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE AND THAT IT WAS A CHRYSLER STAR CASE: S1321000013, WHICH MEANT THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AT A COST OF $5,000. THE VEHICLE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT RECENTLY EXPIRED, ONLY HAS AROUND 84,500 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS THIS ISSUE WAS NOT MY FAULT AND WAS DENIED. CALLED IN TWICE, WROTE A FORMAL LETTER OF COMPLAINT, AND SENT AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE BACK. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND CURRENTLY PARKED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS SITTING STATIONARY (PARKED) ON A CITY STREET. THE SAFETY FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY DURING A REAR END ACCIDENT TO PREVENT WHIPLASH. THE HEADREST BURST OPEN STRIKING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITHOUT THERE BEING ANY REAR END COLLISION OR MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ALSO NO ONE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY. I CONTACTED TWO DODGE DEALERSHIPS TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE TWO DEALERSHIPS WERE UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS OR ISSUES FOR MY VEHICLE. THE REPLACEMENT/REPAIR COST WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE.
