2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I WAS PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PARK GETTING READY TO GO. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST BURST OPEN. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS ON THE SEAT AT THE TIME. BUT I BELIEVE WITH THE FORCE IT CAM OUT IT COULD HAD GIVING SOME ONE A CONCUSSION. I WOULD HAVE HATE UT IF ONE OF MY KIDS WAS THERE WHEN IT BURST OPEN.

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE PASSENGER WAS HIT ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND HAD A SEVERE HEADACHE. THERE WAS NO NOR HAS THERE BEEN ANY REAR COLLISION. AFTER EXAMINING THE INSIDE OF THE RESTRAINT I COULD SEE BROKEN PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT APPEARED TO HAD BEEN KEEPING IT TOGETHER.

ON JULY 10, 2020, WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY, MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD CAUSING A SEVERE HEADACHE. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT JUST RANDOMLY DEPLOYED. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED FOR IT. I AM NOW FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PASSENGER HEADREST DOES THE SAME. I HAVE THREE TEENAGERS, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THEM AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*DT*JB

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DURANGO HAS STALLED AT HIGH SPEEDS. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL, ON OCCASION, START TO STALL AS IT SORT OF RUMBLES AND SHAKES. NOW THE DURANGO WILL NOT START. ALL SYMPTOMS SEEM TO ALIGN WITH KNOWN RECALL ISSUES, HOWEVER, RECALL REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. HAS BEEN SYMPTOMATIC SINCE APRIL 2019 UNTIL PRESENT. I HAVE TAKEN THIS PROBLEM TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT WERE ABLE TO RUN UP A BILL OF $3000 FOR ITEMS THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND WORRY ABOUT HAVING A TOTAL POWER FAILURE WHILE AT HIGH SPEED.
