2012 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY DURANGO DIED WHILE DRIVING. I HAD JUST HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY THE ALTERNATOR. I DID NOT MAKE IT HOME 2 MILES AWAY. IT WAS TOWED TO A FIRESTONE WHO REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY TO DISCOVER THE PCM WAS RUINED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A 2012 DODGE DURANGO BUT IT WAS FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AND NOT FOR HTE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. THEY SAID THE RECALL NUMBER WAS P60 AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO MY DURANGO MATCHES THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL. MY DURANGO WAS LATER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND PCM.

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN MINUTES ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON, MY AIR STARTING BLOWING HOT AND THEN IT STARTED TO STALL. LUCKILY I WAS ON A SMALL ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF ONTO THE GRASS. THE CAR WAS DEAD AND SMOKE WAS POURING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. WITHIN IN 2 MINUTES OF INSTALLING BOTH, MY CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD ALREADY REPLACED IT AND THINK IT COULD BE MORE SEVERE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH LABOR I'M LOOKING AT $1200. THAT'S NOT INCLUDING IF THAT DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THEY SAIS IT COULD HAVE FRIED MY (PCM) POWER CONTROL MODULE WHICH COULD COST ME AT LEAST $1000 MORE PLUS LABOR. HOW IS IT THEY AREN'T RECALLING THE 2012 DURANGO WITH 180 AMP ALTERNATOR BUT ALL THE OTHERS? THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR GOING ON 3 TIMES NOW. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY SON IN THIS CAR ANYMORE. I'VE SEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS SAYING THIS CAUSED ACCIDENTS SINCE THE CAR JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING.

UPON ARRIVING HOME, A STRONG ODOR OF ELECTRICAL BURNING WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT CAME ON AND SMOKE WAS VISIBLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF. SIMILAR TO RECALL P60; HOWEVER OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF A DIFFERENT ALTERNATOR AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ENGINE TYPE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START WHEN YOU PRESS THE KEYLESS IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT IN A PARKING LOT, THIS MORNING IN MY GARAGE, AND TWICE TODAY IN PARKING LOTS. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. I HAVE HAD TO PRESS THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START AND REMOVE THE KEY FOB FROM MY PURSE. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE PREVIOUSLY. THE BATTERY IN THE FOB IS FINE, AS THE REMOTE START, REMOTE LIFT GATE AND REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ALL WORK. LAST NIGHT THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR USING THE KEYLESS METHOD AND I HAD TO PRESS THE REMOTE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB. ALSO THE EASY EXIT SEAT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR AWHILE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SET TO MOVE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITHIN THE KEYLESS IGNITION MODULE.
