2012 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

CRANKED THE CAR ONE MORNING AND WHEN STARTED DRIVING ,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND WAS LOOSING POWER. THE CAR WAS STALLING AFTER 20 MINUTES DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME WITH A MISFIRE CYLINDER #5. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC REVEAL BROKEN CAM SHAFT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 66773 MILES. THE REPAIR WAS DONE IT WAS LONG AND EXPENSIVE ABOUT $4500.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HARNESS WIRE THAT CONNECTS TO THE TIPM BOX IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE TO START. THE ADDED WIRE MAKES THE OTHER CONNECTIONS HEAT UP AND THAT HAS MADE A HOLE IN THE FUSE BOX ALREADY AND THE FUEL PUMP HARNESS CONNECTION WIRE IS BURNING UP.

RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE - THIS HAS BEEN IN LIMBO FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE THE PAST TWO MONTHS - STALLING, JUMPING, TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS ON ITS OWN, SHUTTING OFF AT STOPS, HARD TO MAKE A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO DIFFERENT SPEED LIMITS. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND HAVE NOT HEARD OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

RACK AND PINION LEAKING SUDDENLY. FUEL PUMP RELAY WENT OUT AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR LANE.

THERE'S A CRAYON SMELL WITHIN MY VEHICLE THAT CAN BE OVERBEARING. I'VE READ OTHER FORUMS ABOUT THIS. I'VE READ IT CAN BE THE GLUE THAT'S USED IN MANUFACTURING. THE SMELL STILL HASN'T GONE AWAY.
