2012 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE DURANGO WITH 110000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING GOOD. IT TURNED OUT THAT THREE OF MY LIFTERS WERE BAD WHICH ALSO MESSED UP THE CAMSHAFT. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME PRICE TO FIX IT, IF THE OTHER SIDE WE'RE BAD TOO. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT

REGARDING SAFETY RECALL R09 / NHTSA 15V-115 FUEL PUMP RELAY - 2012-2013 DODGE DURANGO & JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE OTHER WEEK THE FIX FAILED SEVERAL TIMES STARTING THE CAR AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I TOOK IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER TO GET THE FIX REDONE, IN THE TWO DAYS SINCE THE REDO THE CAR HAS ALREADY NOT STARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND STOPPED SUPPLYING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ONCE. SO IN SHORT, THE FIX FOR THE ORIGINAL SAFETY ISSUE DOES NOT WORK AND IS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. SEARCHING ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE HAD THE FIX FAIL ON THEM AS WELL.

WE PURCHASED A CAR IN MARCH 2018, CAME TO FIND OUT IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT THEY INSTALLED AN ALTERNATOR THAT ALSO HAS AN OPEN RECALL SO WE ASSUME THEY TOOK THE PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT WITH A NEW ONE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE PUSH START DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AND STALLS OUT. THE CAR HAS ALSO LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING LUCKILY IT KICK BACK ON BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. IT ALSO TENDS TO SHIFT GEARS VERY HARD AT TIMES.

3 YEARS AFTER HAVING MY FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL PERFORMED ON MY 2012 DURANGO CREW THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS ARE HAPPENING. STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WILL TRY TO CRANK BUT NOT FULLY TURN OVER. PUT THE DURANGO IN THE SHOP AND IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND WE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AGAIN AFTER A 30,000 MILE 3YEAR DIFFERENCE ON A 70,000 MILE CAR. WHAT EVER PARTS THEY USED FOR RECALL ARE FAULTY AND EVENTUALLY FAIL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE MY FUEL PUMP RELAY CHANGED AGAIN ON THIS CAR. DODGE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE ISSUE THE FIRST TIME AND NOT PUT BURDEN ON THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THEIR DEFECTS. I'M PUTTING THIS OUT THERE FOR ANYONE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THEIR RECALL WAS FIXED. COMPLAIN! SO WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR DODGE MISTAKES.

ONCE AGAIN IM DRIVING TO WORK ON 7/30/18 AS I GO TO GET OFF MY EXIT MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND ALMOST GOT STRUCK BY A TRACTOR TRAILOR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS APPRANTLY MY TRUCK ISNT ON IT BUT ITS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL EXPLAINED. THIS TIME I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRUCK DRIVER WASNT FOLLOWING TO CLOSE OR I PROBLY WOULDNT BE HERE TO TYPE THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN TAKE THE TIME OUT AND HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIG PROBLEM WHERE AS I MIGHT DIE DUE TO NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT TO READ MY EMAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND SHUT OFF. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES, THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE A SECOND TIME BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO MOHAVE MOTORS (631 W. MAIN ST, BARSTOW, CA). THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED THIS IS WHERE I INQUIRED ABOUT ANY RECALLS. THIS IS WHERE I WAS MEANT BY SUPPOSEDLY BY HEAD MECHANIC, WHO WAS REDO, OBNOXIOUS, AND INCOMPENTENT. MY DURANGO WAS NEVER TAKEN THERE, WHEN I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND THEY WOULD TINKER WITH IT, WITH A SMIRK, I LEFT NEVER TO GO THERE AGAIN. 7/30/18 MANUFACTURE WAS CALLED SAME ANSWER NO RECALLS. I THEN TOOK IT TO VICTORVILLE MOTORS. THE HARNESS THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE RECALL RELAY PUMP, BURNT TO A CRISP. PART REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.UPDATED 10/22/18*JB

OK, SO WHILE I'M DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY GO TO GET OFF MY EXIT LIKE ALWAYS MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM. I TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEN I READ ABOUT A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR AND THE PROBLEM IT IS CAUSING WHICH SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE MOMENT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND GET REAR ENDED. SO I PRAY THAT YOU GUYS CAN COME UP WITH THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR MY TRUCK. HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT KILLS ME AND MY FAMILY, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY SITUATION

THERE IS A RECALL ON 2012 DODGE DURANGO ALTERNATOR BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL. AS I'M DRIVING MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, I'M AFRAID THAT IF MY WIFE DRIVES MY TRUCK AND THIS HAPPENS TO HER OR MYSELF WITH OUR KIDS IN THE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE SLAMS IN THE BACK OF US I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO. SO I TOOK IT TO LIA DODGE WHERE I PURCHASED IT BUT THEY SAY IT'S NOTHING COMING UP WHEN THEY SCAN IT. BUT ONCE AGAIN LIKE I STATED IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AT LEAST 2_3TIMES PURE MONTH. SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF FAST. THANK YOU IN ADVANCED
