2015 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING, NOT DAYLIGHTS NOR MANUALLY. ONLY THE FOG LIGHT ARE WORKING AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AWAY UNATTENDED IF YOU FORGET TO TURN THE "TRANSMISSION DIAL"..... WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND YOU STOP AND PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON (THINKING YOU ARE PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND/OR TURNING IT OFF, AND THEN GET OUT OF THE CAR, THE CAR REMAINS IN DRIVE AND WILL DRIVE AWAY. WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON, THE CAR MAKES A RINGING SOUND AND BOTH ME AND MY WIFE AND THOUGHT THE CAR WAS IN PARK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, BECAUSE I FORGOT TO TURN THE TRANSMISSION DIAL TO PARK, THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN STILL IN THE VEHICLE. UNLIKE ALL OTHER CARS I HAVE HAD THAT HAD ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS WHICH PUT THE CAR IN PARK IF YOU TURN THEM OFF AND/OR OPEN THE DOOR WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING, THE DURING WILL SIMPLY DRIVE OFF IN THE DIRECTION ITS IS AIMED. THIS CAR NEEDS TO PUT ITSELF INTO PARK IN THESE SITUATIONS. I HAVE A BMW THAT WILL NOT/CANNOT DRIVE AWAY LIKE THIS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!! I ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A WAY TO STOP THIS AND I WAS TOLD THEY ARE AWARE OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. HOWEVER, I AM TOLD THERE IS NO RE-PROGRAMMING FIX YET. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED BY THIS DEFECT EVENTUALLY.

RENTED CAR, DROVE EXPRESSWAY ABOUT 25 MILES WHEN ON A MILD INCLINE I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING. THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING, NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED QUICKLY FROM 65MPH TO 10MPH AND NO RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED EVEN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE MODE AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS WORKED. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY WITH SEMI TRUCKS WHICH NEARLY COLLIDED WITH CAR AS THERE WERE NO EMERGENCY LANES TO MOVE TO. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO THE ACCELERATOR WORKED AGAIN. IN THE NEXT 75 MILES TO A CITY WITH SAME RENTAL COMPANY IT OCCURED 3-4 MORE TIMES. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE SURVIVED THE NERVE RACKING DRIVE. THE RENTAL COMPANY HAS THE CAR AND "IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM" AND CHECKING THE GAS FROM SPEEDWAY THAT WAS USED TO FILL THE 1/2 TANK PRIOR TO DRIVING. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT I SEE WHERE PREVIOUS YEARS OF THIS MODEL HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM AND OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT YET BEEN ADEQUATELY REPAIRED STILL PRESENTING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE

I HAVE A BRAND NEW DODGE DURANGO THAT IS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS OLD. I DO NOT EVEN USE MY BACK SEATS TO SIT IN SO I KNOW THIS WAS NOT CAUSED FROM WEAR. ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE BACK SEAT YOU CAN SEE THE FOAM HANGING OUT OF THE SEAT, THE SEAT COVER DOES NOT ATTACH TO THE SEAT IT IS AN OPEN AREA. I TOOK MY DURANGO TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX SINCE MY DURANGO IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ORDERED ME A NEW SEAT COVER AND THEY NEW ONE WAS WORSE THAN THE FIRST ONE THAT WAS ON THE CAR, THEY THEN TOLD ME THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME, THEY OFFERED TO CUT OUT SOME OF THE FOAM SO IT WOULD NOT HANG OUT OF MY SEAT, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE INSIDE OF THE SEAT. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET, I PAID $40,000 FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH SEEING THE INSIDE OF MY SEAT FOAM HANGING OUT OF MY BACKSEAT. IT IS LOCATED ON THE INNER PART NEAR WEAR THE SEATBELT BUCKLE CONNECTS. I NEED HELP, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

THE TIRES WERE BEEN REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WAS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V168000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK POSITION ON A SIDE ROAD. IT WAS STILL RUNNING SINCE WE WEREN'T GOING TO REMAIN PARKED THERE EXCEPT FOR A FEW MINUTES. I WAS TAKING PICTURES OF MY SON BEFORE HIS BAND CONCERT NEAR THE SCHOOL WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. IT REMAINED STATIONARY/PARKED FOR UP TO 4 MINUTES AT WHICH POINT IN TIME IT STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE INCLINED ROAD UNATTENDED. HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PART OF THE CARE MALFUNCTIONED TO SWITCH IT OUT OF PARK. SO UNKOWN.

I WAS DRIVING MY NEW DURANGO (3,200 MILES) ON I-90 (75MPH) WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME AND THE HARD SHELL WAS PUSHED BACK. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 48 AND CLOUDY. I THOUGHT THE THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR WOULD BE GONE WHEN IT HAPPENED AS THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD. I HAD VERY LITTLE GLASS IN THE CAR AS MOST OF IT BLEW UP AND BACK SCRATCHING THE TOP. MY RIGHT EAR AND TEMPLE BOTHERED ME FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AFTER THE EXPLOSION. I HAVE TAKEN THE DURANGO TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX IT. THEY CLAIM NEVER TO HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, I DOUBT I'M THE FIRST.

FUEL DOOR HAS A TENDENCY NOT TO POP OPEN WHEN YOU HIT THE RELEASE BUTTON INSIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU NEED GAS AND CANNOT GET THE GAS DOOR OPEN AND THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE TO OPEN IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE DRIVER PRESSED THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE UP AN INCLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH. THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO A BUSY STREET AND STOPPED AFTER BUMPING A CURB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,404.
