2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. VEHICLE SOMETIMES CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. HAPPENS PERIODICALLY. CANNOT HEAR FUEL PUMP RUNNING BEFORE ENABLING START SEQUENCE. MUST TURN IGNITION OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART. USUALLY STARTS ON THE SECOND OR THIRD TRY.

THIS CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER RANDOMLY. IT WILL WILL SHUT OFF AND TURN BCK ON ALL BY ITSELF OR IF IT SHUTS OFF I CAN BARELY TOUCH THE KEY FOB AND IT WILL TURN BCK ON WITHOUT EVEN TURNING THE KEY!! SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS, UNPREDICTABLE, UNRELIABLE. HAVE TAKEN IT TO FEW MECHANICS WHO WON'T EVEN WORK ON IT CUZ THEY CAN NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. I HVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR A CODE FOR SIRIUS RADIO SUBSCRIPTION , REALLY ! THEY EVEN KEPT IT OVER NITE AND IT WOULDN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT... CLEARLY THIS VEHICLE HAS ISSUES IF MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT IS BEING REPORTED. I FEEL LIKE I HVE A GHOST CAR. PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN MY CAR DOES THIS ON FREEWAY. DOES IT GOING 10MPH....I CAN BE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME & PUT IT IN PARK AND BAH JUST TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN FOR ME. ANYTIME AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS WHENEVER IT WANTS, IT SHUTS OFF AND COMES BACK ON ALL ON ITS OWN. PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT. THIS CAR IS NOT WORTH THE AMOUNT OF LIVES THAT CAN BE LOST...

WHEN VECHICLE IS IN CRUISE CONTROL THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS VERY STIFF AND EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH DOWN

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, & SLIGHTLY TAPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, AND MY HEADREST DEPLOYED & POPPED OUT AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTLED ME, BUT ALSO POPPED OUT HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A HEADACHE. *DT*JB

WITHIN ONE WEEK TIME FRAME, BOTH FRONT HEADRESTS SUDDENLY AND LOUDLY SNAPPED APART WITH A LOUD BANG AND PROPELLED FORWARD WITH GREAT FORCE. MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THAT SIDE BUT LUCKILY DID NOT HAVE HIS HEAD RESTING ON IT. WE WERE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE HORRIBLE NOISE MADE US SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND ALMOST COME TO A STOP. IT WAS A HUGE SHOCK AND VERY SCARY. SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT GOING OFF. THE SECOND PASSENGER HEADREST EXPLODED OPEN TODAY WITH MY SONS HEAD RESTING IN IT. IT JERKED HIS HEAD FORWARD AND HIT HIM ON THE TEMPORAL SIDE OF HIS HEAD. COMPLAINTS OF A HEADACHE SO FAR. WE WERE PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *DT *DT *DT *TR CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND CALLED BOTH LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAD BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEN ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER DODGE. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. CONTACT DID NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE WARRANTY THROUGH THEM AND THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC RECALLS OUT ON THE HEADRESTS AT THIS TIME. THE TWO FRONT HEADRESTS WERE REPLACED WITH NON-DODGE BRAND GENERIC ONES. CONTACT KEPT THE ORIGINAL MALFUNCTIONING ONES JUST IN CASE THEY WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKED AT SOME POINT.*JB *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE WORSENED OVER THE COURSE OF SEVEN DAYS AND THE BATTERY UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAME EXTREMELY HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST CAME APART AND HIT MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. ALL HE DID WAS SIT IN THE SEAT, THERE WAS NO IMPACT OF ANY SORT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION.

2013 DODGE DURANGO WAS SHOWING RUST BUBBLES ON PASSENGER DOOR. VEHICLE WAS IN THE BODY SHOP FOR ACCIDENT REPAIR AND WE ASKED FOR RUST SPOTS TO BE REVIEWED. AUTOBODY MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT RUST IS CORRODING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND WATER IS ENTERING THROUGH A DEFECT IN THE DOOR HANDLE. THERE IS A CLEAR WATER MARK LINE VISIBLE FROM THE INSIDE DOOR SKIN SHOWING FROM THE DOOR HANDLE TO THE HEAVILY RUSTED AREA. THERE IS DEFECT IN THE HANDLE THAT NEEDS TO CORRECTED. OUR CAR HAS BEEN BEEN GARAGED AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK WHILE IT'S COMING TO A SLOW ROLL. I TRY TO CRANK IT WILL ROLLING TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLES BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, AND FUEL SYSTEM CHECKED. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE PUSH START BUTTON GETS STUCK AND A NEW KEYPAD WAS PROGRAMMED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION AT ANY GIVING MOMENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO FREEZES WHILE USING THE NAVIGATION AND GOS SYSTEM. SYSTEM WILL NOT RESTART UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESET.
