2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

WE OWN A 2013 DODGE DURANGO WITH 175,000 MILE ON IT AND HAS BEEN A GREAT VEHICLE UP UNTIL IT STARTED LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. AFTER HAVING SEVERAL MECHANICS TROUBLE SHOOT THE ISSUE WE FOUND OUT THE THE ENGINE WAS ACTUALLY MISFIRING AND BECAUSE OF A BAD LIFTER. AFTER OUR MECHANIC CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE LIFTER FOR THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE IS ON BACKORDER WITH NO ETA OF WHEN IT WILL BE IN AND BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE INVESTIGATED HERE, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DODGES 5.7 HEMI ENGINE NOT JUST IN THE DURANGO BUT IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES AND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A MUCH BIGGER SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE STALLING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND CAUSE HARM OR DEATH OF MY HUSBAND WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST FIGHTING TO RECOUP OUR COSTS FOR THE REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR.

TAKATA RECALL. I COULD FEEL MY CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY THEN FINALLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & I WENT & GOT THE CODE P0730 READ IT CAME BACK AS GEAR RATIO. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION.

DODGE DURANGO 2013- 78,000 MILES: ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING OUR 2013 DURANGO IT JUST SHUTS OFF. ALL INSIDE ELECTRICAL DEVICES GO BLANKS AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED DATES OF WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED AND IT CAN BE 5 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE OR 45 MINUTES ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE HAVE HAD IT THE GARAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US WITHOUT A CODE THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE ANY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JUNE 2018. WE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO DODGE. THEY SUGGESTED WE GO TO THE GARAGE FOR A DIAGNOSIS. WE TRIED AGAIN ON 12/26/18 TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY AGAIN COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A CODE. AS MY HUSBAND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE GARAGE, IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. HE WENT BACK INTO THE GARAGE AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES. SO WE CONTINUE TO PAY FOR GARAGE VISITS WITH NO ANSWERS. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE OUR ONLY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AND YOU LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING OR IF YOU ARE PULLING OUT OF AN ESTABLISHMENT AND LOSE POWER IN FRONT OF OTHER CARS. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND GARAGE VISITS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE MAY BE HURT OR KILLED.

FUEL PUMP ISNT GETTING ANY POWER. HAS BEEN REPLACED BRAND NEW EACH TIME AND CAR JUST SHUTS UP AND STALLS WONT TURN ON

HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT TO VEHICLE. HEADREST DAMAGED AS A RESULT. NOT ABLE TO RESET DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED. IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NOT RUNNING AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT.

IN NOVEMBER 17, 2016 A RECALL CAMPAIGN 15V-115 WAS ISSUED. MY DURANGO WAS SERVICED BY DEALER DUE TO THIS RECALL. RECENTLY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TRIANGLE DEALERS IN PUERTO RICO, WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP, BECAUSE THIS WAS THE DIAGNOSTIC OF THE MECHANIC. I DID NOT AGREED WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY VERIFIED THAT WHEN I MOVED THE CABLES OF THE RELAY THEY INSTALLED, THE VEHICLE TURNED ON AGAIN. I PICKED UP MY DURANGO AT THE DEALER ON THE DECEMBER 24, 2018. NOW THE DURANGO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, IT ACTUALLY STALLED WILL DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON THE 25TH. MY COMPLAIN IS THE THE RELAY INSTALLED IN THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT THE SOLUTION. I'VE RESEARCH OTHER VEHICLES OWNER WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING OVER TIME AGAIN, AS I AM RIGHT NOW.

AROUND JANUARY OF 2018 MY 2013 DURANGO R/T 4WD LOW LIGHT STARTING BLINKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, PULLED OVER TO TRY AND GET IT TO TURN OFF BY PLACING IN NEUTRAL AND TURING OFF. THIS FIXED IT AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE LIGHT TURNED BACK ON, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. TOOK THE TRUCK TO ONE OF THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN WORKING CONDITION AND MEETING MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATION. THEN AGAIN IN AUGUST 2018, MY TRANSFER CASE STARTED TO MAKE A TICKING NOISE AND WOULD ENGAGE INTO LOW BY ITSELF WHEN TAKING TURNS AND NO DASH LIGHT WARNING. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DRIVELINE SHOP AND THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT AND THAT IT BURNT OUT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR. THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN 4WD LOW BY USING THE SWITCH BUT WOULD ENGAGE ON ITS OWN. STILL, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTIFICATION THAT THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR WAS IN OPERATIONAL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 4WD LOW ISSUE, I HAD THEM LOOK AT THE RPM GAUGE AND RADIO. THE RPM GAUGE WOULD JUST BOUNCE AND HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE RADIO WOULD JUST CHANGE STATIONS BY ITSELF. AFTER INSPECTION BY THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT THEY SEE THE ISSUE WITH THE RPM GAUGE AND RADIO, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS MEETING ALL MANUFACTURE SPECIFICATION THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

DURANGO STARTED JERKING WHEN GOING UP HILLS, HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS, AND SOMETIMES WOULDN'T SHIFT AT ALL, AND OVERDRIVE NOT FUNCTIONING

SOMETIMES IN TRYING TO START, TURNING THE KEY RESULTS IN NO RESPONSE WHATEVER FROM THE ENGINE. A SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT IS NECESSARY. HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED, I COASTED IT TRYING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT THEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK TO LIFE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. WE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM 2 YEARS AGO, EXCEPT IT WAS JUST NON-STARTING INTERMITTENLY. HAD IT TOWED SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER THEY TRIED REPLACING THE TIPM (AND THIS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN A RECALL) THEY FOUND IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. NOW MORE PROBLEMS.
