2012 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

HANKOOK ROADHANDLER H/T TIRES ON AN SUV -SEVERE TIRE DEFECT THIS TIRE WAS NOT LISTED IN CHOICES SO I CHOOSE ROADHANDLER SPORT -MY TIRES ARE ROADHANDLER H/T , THEY ARE SUV TIRES, UNSURE OF SIZE CAR WAS NOT HANDLING WELL AND FELT FUNNY AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING, I HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR SO BROUGHT IT TO GARAGE AND THEY NOTIFIED ME OF THE SEVERE TIRE DEFECT

THE REAR LIFT GATE CLOSES WITHOUT WARNING RAPIDLY AND WITH GREAT FORCE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE STRUTS ARE BAD. I WAS ALSO TOLD I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUMMER. I DO NOT THINK IT IS EVER ACCEPTABLE THAT THUS OCCURS. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS US UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRENCE.

THE BATTERY GETS DRAIN OUT WITHOUT WARNING IT HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH LATELY IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, MY TRUCK WON'T START EVEN IF THE DAY BEFORE WAS RUNNING BATTERY WAS CHECK AND IT'S FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT'S ON NOW ONCE THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS A RELAY ISSUE. BRAKES ARE IN THE RECALL VIN CHECK LIST ALONG ONE OTHER RECALL. THE LIGHTS INSIDE TURN ON AND OFF AS WELL AS IF THERE IS A SHORT GOING ON WHILE IN DRIVING MODE IT FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS LOOSING POWER EVEN THOUGH IT HAS GAS. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

REPAIRD BRAKE BOOSTER SHIELD IN 2016 UNDER RECALL P14 NHTSA 14V-154 AT THE DEALERSHIP, NO I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE THE BOOSTER SHIELD WAS INSTALLED INCORECTLY AND THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL T59 BUT DEALER IS TRYING TO TELL ME LAST TIME T WAS N ALTERNATOR AND HAVING ME WAIT OVER A WEEK FOR APT TO FIX IT, TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE AND RIDICULOUS. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR.

USING THE PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED, AND THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR SET TO P(ARK). WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON START IS PRESSED TWICE, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO START UP, AND STARTED TO MOVE ON IT'S OWN. THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. BLUE WATER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FORT GRATIOT, MI HAS VERIFIED THIS TO BE HAPPENING AND REPRODUCIBLE.

SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 2018, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE INTERMITTENT AND ANNOYING 'DING' TO SIGNAL AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE WHEN I PARKED IT THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON. LIGHT WILL PERIODICALLY GO OUT BRIEFLY AND THEN COME BACK ON WITH THE 'DING.' I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS LIGHT COMING ON. PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS 'TAKEN CARE OF' WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL WORK.

WE HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS STARTER ISSUE FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS WE HAVE HAD IT. IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING BUT WONT TURN OVER. WE HAVE TO POP OUT THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND MANUALLY TURN THE CAR OFF FOR IT TO STOP. IT DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE STARTING. FINALLY AFTER 4 OR 5 VISITS FOR THE ISSUE, DODGE SAYS ITS SOME FUEL PUMP RELAY SO THEY FIXED THAT, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ONE DAY WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, AND IT STOPPED TURNING ON. WE LOST ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING, AND EVERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS HAPPENED AS WE WERE EXITING THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY... LUCKILY WE WERE EXITING! WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURRED IN NOV/DEC 2017. OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 4-6 WEEKS, THEY REPLACED THE PCM AND CAT CONVERTER (BOTH) AND ALTERNATOR. NOW 4.5 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED WITH STARTER CONSTANTLY TURNING OVER, ITS HAPPENED 2 DAYS IN A ROW NOW. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL DAILY 20 MILES EACH WAY DOWN THE I30 CORRIDOR IN THE DFW AREA . WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL JUST STALL GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY. ALL SIGNS POINT TO A TIPM PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE.
