2017 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE REAR RACE TRACK LIGHT HAS HAD WATER IN IT FOR MONTHS AND HAS NOW SHORTED OUT PART OF THE LIGHT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED THEY SAID THAT WAS NORMAL AND WILL DRAIN ON IT'S OWN. NOW THAT THE WARRENTY IS UP THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE ENGINE SEIZED, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (LOCATED AT 1130 AUTO MALL DR, LANCASTER, CA 93534, (661) 948-8411), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEARS CONSTANTLY SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A DELAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION GEARS CHANGING OVER AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, CREATING THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4100 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129, (408) 248-1800) WAS CONTACTED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED A POWER TRAIN RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

THE TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING FOR A FEW DAYS; THEN IT STARTED BACK WORKING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS STATIONARY AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET IT FIXED. THE FRONT PART OF MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT STOPS, THEN I DRIVE AND HAPPEN TO HIT UNEVEN ROAD AND IT WOULD JUMP BACK ON. AT THE MOMENT IT IS NOT WORKING. THE FRONT SECTION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING BREAKS DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO THE BACK PORTION OF MY AIR CONDITIONING. THIS OCCURRENCE HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

I HAD PUT THE 2017 DURANGO AND THE SHOP ABOUT 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS OUT AND IT COULDN'T BE FIXED AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT FOR THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN THEY KEEP MESSING UP

WENT TO HEAD HOME FROM VACATION AND STOPPED AT A STORE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. VEHICLE ENGINE SPUTTERED THEN CUT OFF. TRIED TO START VEHICLE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TURNING OVER.HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED 2 1/2 HOURS TO OUR DEALERSHIP. ONCE IN DEALERSHIP FOUND TIPM TO BE DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO BREAK. 16 DAYS LATER THE WATER PUMP FAILED. AT 28,000 MILES 3 MAJOR ENGINE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER FLAWS IN THIS VEHICLE. PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ALSO WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE IS STILL IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH.

A VEHICLE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT BACK DUE TO THE ENGINE AND CONSOLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION WAS SOLD TO ME BY BILL LUKE DODGE IN PHOENIX, AZ. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THAT IT HAD BEEN ANALYZED AT A FACILITY FOR MONTHS PRIOR TO BEING PUT BACK ON THE MARKET. WHEN WE WENT TO TEST DRIVE IT THE SALESMAN DID EXPLAIN THAT IT HAD BEEN DIFFICULT TO START, BUT FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE SHOP WOULD FIX ANY ISSUES PRIOR TO IT BEING TURNED OVER TO US. HE STATED IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY PROBLEM. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. LATER THAT WEEK WE WERE DELIVERED THE VEHICLE AND INSURED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THIS WAS MAY 1. ON MAY 3, MY WIFE DROVE TO A LOCAL BUSINESS, AND WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY START THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND IT STAYED ON FOR TWO MORE CYCLES OF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS. ON MAY 6, WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND HAVE THEM RUN THE CODE. THE READER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A U0100- "LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE". I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON MAY 7. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS THE SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE DISCOVERED NUMEROUS LOOSE WIRING HARNESSES, THOUGH THEY STILL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO COMPLETELY REMEDY THE ISSUES. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN REFERRED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF. I'VE ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK AS WELL. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE LOCATION/DIRECTION OF THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK FILL VALVE AREA....YOU CANNOT FILL THE TANK. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO FILL THE TANK. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL NOZZLE, REPLACED THE GAS TANK, REPLACED THE FILTER & COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED AND REASSEMBLED THE GAS TANK.

I HAVE A 2017 DURANGO, THE REAR SHOCK ARE BAD ON IT, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 26500 ON IT. DODGE CURRENTLY HAS 200+ OF THESE SHOCKS ON BACK ORDER. WITH THE SHOCKS BEING BAD IF I GO OVER A SMALL BUMP IT CAUSES THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOSE AND YOU ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE LOOKED AT SEVERAL DODGE DURANGO FORUMS AND THIS SEEM LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THEM. I'VE CONTACTS DODGE ALL THEY TELL ME IS THEY ARE WORKING ON MAKING REPLACEMENT PARTS. I'M NOT DRIVING IT CURRENTLY BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ABOUT A MONTH OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW MORE WEEKS BEFORE THEY HOPEFULLY HAVE THE PARTS. ALSO LOOKING AT THE DODGE FORUMS SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD 3+ SET OF SHOCKS PUT IN THERE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME RESULT. IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE DODGE IS TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

WATER IS ENTERING LED TAIL LIGHTS ON REAR HATCH CAUSING LIGHTS TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING
