TAKATA RECALL. RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HIGH WAY 77SOUTH SPEED LIMIT 65 MPH WITH MY FAMILY N THE VEHICLE WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER . MY CAR HAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKED. IT PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH OUT ANY WARNING. AND NOW I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW BATTERY

VEHICLE STATIONARY, INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING WHEN PUSH BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED, WE CAN HEAR STARTER ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE BUT WILL NOT START. SOMETIMES THE STARTER CONTINUOUSLY RUNS FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE STARTER, IS YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AND LOCK THE CAR W/KEY FOB. HAS DONE THIS INTERMITTENTLY SINCE JULY OF 2017. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACED DUE RECALL ON 09/2015. THE INTERMITTENT NON STARTING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 12+ TIMES. ON TWO OF THE OCCURANCES THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN VIDEO TAPED. HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO DIFFERENT TIMES AND BOTH TIMES THEY STATE THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR WERE THERE ANY CODES IN THE SYSTEM, THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE MATTER. WHEN WE TRIED TO SHOW THEM THE VIDEOS THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN VIEWING THEM. THEY ALSO ADVISED SEVERAL TIMES THAT WITHOUT A DUPLICATION OF THE ISSUE, THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT THEY KNOW OF THAT IS HAVING THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

ICY CONDITIONS, AROUND DUSK. BREAKING MECHANISM FAILED TO WORK. GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE BOOSTER RECALL HAS HAPPENED. HAD TO GO OUT OF POCKET TO FIX VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMPENSATION FOR THE DAMAGES.

WITHIN ABOUT THE LAST 6 WEEKS MY SUV HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS & I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I HAVE CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM & THEY ARE DOING THE BARE MINIMUM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE!!!! KNOWING MY VEHICLE HAS ACTIVE RECALLS!!!

ON 12/24/2017 I STARTED MY DURANGO TO LET IT WARM UP BEFORE LEAVING MY HOUSE, REMOTE START WAS USED. IT WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE SO I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. AT THIS TIME I SAW SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD TO PUT WATER ON IT. I TOOK MY DURANGO ON 12/26/2017 TO DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER AND JEEP AT 10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204. THEY SAID THIS IS RELATED TO RECALL T36 AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN FIX. I UNDERSTAND IF THE ALTERNATOR WAS STILL FINE THEY COULD DO NOTHING. HOWEVER SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY FAULTY AFTER RUNNING THEIR TESTS THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET NEARLY $1200 DOLLARS AND THEN GET REIMBURSED AFTER 90 DAYS. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WORKED WITH SOMEONE TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET PAID. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THIS APPROVED DUE TO MULTIPLE REASONS (MANAGERS ON VACATION/SYSTEM NOT SETUP TO DO SO). AT THIS POINT I WAS LOOKING AT EITHER NOT HAVING A VEHICLE OR MAKING THE $1200 PAYMENT. I CHECKED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE, AND COULD GET IT COVERED. MY CALLS TO DODGE MUST HAVE WORKED BECAUSE THE FIRST DEALERSHIP GOT APPROVAL TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER ALTERNATOR THAT MIND YOU MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I PICKED UP MY DURANGO 12/27 AND AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT TO THE NEW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID YES SOME BATTERIES HAVE DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATORS. THEY SAID DODGE IS NOT COVERING THIS SO $200 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. AFTER DRIVING MY DURANGO IT NOW HAS THE BATTERY LIGHT ON AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE PCM MODULE THAT HAS GONE OUT AND THIS MAY NOT BE COVERED AS WELL. CURRENTLY IT IS 12/29 AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY DURANGO.
