TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TO MEADOR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (9501 SOUTH FWY, FORT WORTH, TX 76140). THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER A 30 MINUTE COMMUTE AND ENTERING STOP AND GO DOWNTOWN MORNING COMMUTE TRAFFIC, (SLOW, DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) MY DURANGO BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INTO THE CABIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. ALL TEMP GAUGES SHOWED NORMAL. THE CAR BECAME INCREASINGLY HARD TO DRIVE, FEELING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. MORE SMOKE CAME FROM OUT OF ALL SIDES OF THE HOOD. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE AND CHECKING THE HOOD, I COULD SEE FLUID COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT - TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, THE ENGINE WAS FULLY INVOLVED IN FLAMES. I DROPPED THE HOOD CLOSED AND RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. WITHING 15 MINUTES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS BURNED OUT, HOOD AND VARIOUS OTHER PARTS MELTED. CAR HAD TO BE TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE AGENCY.

THE ENGINE IS MISFIRING WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE VERY SAME ISSUE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE REPAIR COSTED OVER $3000. THE ISSUE HAS STARTED AGAIN AND UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE $3000 TO GET THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM FIXED.

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. I BOUGHT IT IN 2012. SINCE THEN IT'S BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP. I THINK IF I'M BOT MISTAKEN ITS BEEN SERVICE MORE THEN 10 TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TIPM IN THE PAST. WELL IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT RECENTLY IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THE GUAGES ON THE DASHBOARD WENT CRAZY. TURNING OFF AND ON ALL THE WARNING LIGHT STARTED TURNING ON AND OFF ALSO. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON ALSO. THE HEATER TURNED ON I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. AS I WAS DRIVING I COULDN'T EVEN CONTROL THE STEERING. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING LIKE MY CAR WAS POSSESSED. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A VECHICLE YOU SO MUCH MONEY CAN JUST DO THIS. I WAS SCARED FOR MY AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I TRIED MY BEST TO STAY CALM AND I JUST FOCED ON GETTING HOME. WHICH IS WHERE I WAS HEADED. I MADE IT HOME PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. NY CAR BARELY CLEARED TGE SIDEWALK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND WOULDN'T MOVE ANY FARTHER. IT WAS MAKING AN UGLY LOUD RUMBLING NOISE. AND IT STARTED SMOKING ALOT OUT IF THE EXHAUST. IT SHUT OFF AND HASN'T TURNED IN SINCE THEN. I SAT THERE TRYING TO CALN DOWN BECAUSE MY ADRENALINE WAS GOING FROM BEING SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN. AND ALSO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED SO ANY REPAIR COST WILL HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. I REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD MY HUSBAND I WANTED A DODGE DURANGO. BECAUSE IT WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE. NOW IT'S MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE. IF MY FRIENDS ASK IF I LIKE MY DURANGO AND IF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY BUY ONE I TELL THEM NO. THIS IS SAD BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DODGE FAMILY.. AND NOW IM SITTING AT HOME WITH NO VEHICLE TO GET MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. AND I CAN'T EVEN GET TO WORK EITHER. MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN. YOU WOULD THINK DODGE WOULD MAKE A DEPENDABLE CAR FOR THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLINER. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING WIRING HARNESS, THAT WAS DAMAGED DUE TO SUN VISOR RECALL. IT WAS IN SHOP FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT. MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED, BECAUSE OF HEADLINER FIRE, DUE TO SUN VISOR RECALL. SO, I PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, ALL KINDS OF STRANGE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER, NO LIGHTS NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS, NOTHING! LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. CALLED CORPORATE SAID IT WAS A RECALL BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND PAY FOR REPAIRS AND BE REIMBURSED BY DODGE. IT ALSO RUINED MY BATTERY. CAR IS STILL BEING SERVICED SO DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED AS OF YET. I WILL UPDATE.
