2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE CAR WAS IN PARK WITH IGNITION SWITCH OFF. I SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND STARTING TO PUT ON MY SEATBELT WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM HEADREST ACTIVATED HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. AFTER INCIDENT I OBSERVED THAT THE PLASTIC USED TO HOLD THE RETAINER BAR IN PLACE HAS GAVE OUT AND NO LONGER IN PLACE WITH THE RETAINING BAR STILL WITHIN THE RELEASE HOOKS.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START ONCE DRIVEN AND TURNED OFF. WHEN START IS PRESSED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE JUST TURNS OVER AND DON'T START. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AUTO NATION DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SERVICE DEPT CLAIMS THEY REPLACED THE TPIM BUT THE VEHICLE STILLS WONT START AT TIMES AND DOES IT MORE OFTEN WHEN RESTARTED

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR,MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND HIT HER IN THE HEAD.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN REVERSE IN OUR DRIVEWAY (NO ACCIDENT). THE HEADREST STRUCK THE DRIVER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, STARTLING THE DRIVER AND CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE HEADREST, THE PLASTIC PIECES HOLDING THE ROD THAT SECURES THE HEADREST FAILED.

JUST PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED. HAD IT ONE WEEK AND A PORTION OF THE RACE TRACK LIGHTING ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE HAS WENT OUT. IT APPEARS WATER HAS GOTTEN INTO THE LIGHTING HOUSING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THAT LIGHTING SYSTEM, AS COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT IT. PROBLEM NOW IS EVENTUALLY IT WILL SHORT OUT THE ENTIRE BACKEND LIGHTS INCLUDING THE RUNNING LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. TO REPLACE THE PART IS OVER $1,000 WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIX. ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS PART IS FAILING SO QUICKLY ON DODGE PRODUCTS WITH THAT STYLE LIGHTING AND ISN'T AN AFFORDABLE FIX. I AM CONCERNED DRIVING MY VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL COMPLETELY SHORT OUT. DODGE SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHTING TO ACCUMULATE WATER AND SHORT OUT. A FEW DEFECTIVE LIGHTS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SHOWS IT REALLY NEEDS RECALLED.

AIRBAG LIGHT AND SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING CONSTANTLY ON. AIRBAG SYSTEM DEACTIVATED. VERY DSNGEROUS IF COLLISON WERE TO HSPORN. TOLD MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL P67, WHICH IS THE ISSUE I AM HAVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS OF NOT BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL YET EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS COVERED UNDER RECALL P67.

THE HEADREST ALL OF A SUDDEN POPPED OUT/ EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. GETTING LOUDER WITH TIME AND WHEN ACCELERATING. VALVE LIFTER BAD. NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOLD IT IS FREQUENT PROBLEM BY DODGE DEALER FOR THESE MODELS.

THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STATED LOW FLUID. I TOPPED OFF THE FLUID. I CHECKED ALL WHEELS FOR LEAKS AND FOUND NONE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE SAME WARNING APPEARED AND BREAK FLUID WAS LOW AGAIN. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH APPLE DODGE IN HANOVER, PA. THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD BEEN RUBBING ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND RUBBED A HOLE IN THE METAL BRAKE LINE CAUSING THE LEAK. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS NEVER BEEN "OFF-ROADING". I CONTACTED DODGE TO REQUEST A REFUND OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIR AS I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE VEHICLE LEFT THE FACTORY WITH THE CONDITION OF THE BRAKE LINE RUBBING THE STEERING COLUMN AND THIS SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME AS A RECALL. DODGE CASE MANAGEMENT # 59431690. I WAS NOTIFIED BY PHONE TODAY, 9/6/19, THAT DODGE WOULD ONLY REFUND 50% OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH. ATTACHED ARE COPIES OF THE INVOICE (2 PAGES), AND PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED BRAKE LINE AND WORN AREA ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE HAS 50,084 MILES ON IT.

REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING GETS DAMAGE DUE TO THE POOR INSULATION AROUND THE HOUSING. PART OF THE LIGHTING DOES NOT WORK AND CAN CAUSE VISABLITIY OF OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE THE VEHICLE. DODGE HAS NOT RECALL BUT IT SHOULD BE SINCE IT CAUSE FAILURE IN A STATE INSPECTION.
