TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING, LOST POWER, AND SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT QUICKLY PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROUTE 46 CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (1655 US-46, LITTLE FALLS, NJ 07424, (973) 339-7752) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,293.

TALKED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT MY LIFTERS ARE RUINING MY CAMSHAFT AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY FATHER IN LAW ALSO HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIS 5.7 HEMI.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE STREET I SAW SOME WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD I PARKED AND OPEN THE HOOD AND NOTICE THAT IN BACK OF THE ENGINE THERE WAS A FIRE. LUCKILY I CAUGHT ON TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BUT SOME OF THE WIRES GOT ALL BURNED UP.

WELL THERE'S SEVERAL ISSUES MAIN ONES BEING THE SELF ACCELERATIONS, NOT TO MENTION MAJOR FACTOR SCARY ONE IS MY VEHICLE GOES FROM P TO D WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE FOUND THIS OUT WHILE CAR WAS OFF MY 3YR OLD MOVED THE SHAFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL WHILE CLIMBING ACROSS TO ME AND CAR BEGAN TO ROLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ONCE PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER WE NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL AND FLAMES COMING UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR BURNED UP AND ITS TOTALLED. LUCKILY NOONE IS HURT. *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED *JB

ENGINE STALLS WHEN STARTED FOR NO REASON. ENGINE ALSO CYCLES MULTIPLE TIMES WITH OUT STARTING. THEN WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE KEY, OR USING HE PUSH BUTTON START. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND NO CODES TO READ AT DEALER. HEAD LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER. LIKE NO POWER GETTING TO ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. WE HAVE MONITORED DIFFERENT EVENTS TO TRY TO NARROW IT DOWN, HOWEVER THERE IS NO COMMON THREAD.
