2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE ALTERNATOR ON MY VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL SINCE AUGUST OF 2017. ON NOVEMBER 2017 THE CAR SHUT OFF BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I EVEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT IT LATER STARTER WORKING AGAIN. 2 WEEKS AGO MY CAR STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM WHERE THE ALTERNATOR IS LOCATED. I TOOK IT TO 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS IN TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR BUT THEN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT'S WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS ON A RECALL OUT THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY NOW WANT ME TO PAY FOR THIS DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PART. THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT HOW CAN THEY ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART AND NOT THE DAMAGE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY IT?

THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HAS BROKEN AT THE SEAMS AND LEAKED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO MOVE AND TO POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE HAZARD. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2017 AND I HAD THE UNIT REPLACED; THEN HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2019. MUST BE A DEFECT. NOW I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.

I HAVE TO TILT MY KEY FOBS UP IN ORDER TO CRANK CAR IT CUTS OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP I AM TOLD THAT TECHNICIAN SWITCH NEEDS TO BE CHANGED

IN SEPTEMBER 2019 AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING ERRATICALLY, I TOOK MY 2013 DODGE DURANGO INTO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD A FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME I ASKED IF THEY ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD NOT NECESSARILY THAT THEY COULD LAST FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. IN DECEMBER 2019, AFTER EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS I TOOK MY DURANGO BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD ONE MORE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, THIS TIME THE SHOP RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE OTHER FIVE (5) INJECTORS. I AGREED TO HAVE THEM REPLACE ALL FIVE SINCE IT APPEARED THAT ALL OF THEM MAY MALFUNCTION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. THE DAY AFTER I HAD THE FIVE REPLACED, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT REPLACED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS AND WAS MOST LIKELY SOME OTHER MINOR ISSUE. A FRIEND OF MY WHO ALSO HAD A 2013 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR.
