2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

THE REAR TAILGATE LIGHT IS FILLING WITH WATER . AFTER A RAIN STORM OR CAR WASH THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LIGHT HAS WATER BUILD UP , I'M WORRIED THAT IT WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS PART OF THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE.

REAR TAIL LIGHT FAILURE WITH LOW MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. RUNNING AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. LIKELY DUE TO WATER INTRUSION CAUSING SHORT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

LED SIGN HER TAIL LIGHT FILLS UP WITH WATER AND SHORTS OUT THE LED BULBS THERE'S NO WAY TO CHANGE THE LED BULBS HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD REST EXPLODED CAUSING MY HEAD TO MOVE SLAM FORWARD. I THOUGH SOMEONE HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND BUT LOOKED AND THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIND THE HEAD REST APART. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ASKED IF I RAN INTO A CURB, HIT A LARGE BUMP OR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS SORRY TO HEAR THAT HAPPENED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THESE HEADREST EXPLODING RANDOMLY ON SEVERAL DODGE MODELS SPECIFICALLY THE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 WITH 29K MILES ON IT, NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND BARELY DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION TO THE PARK POSITION, THE CONTACT STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AS IT ERRONEOUSLY ROLLED BACKWARDS. AS A RESULT, THE OPEN DRIVER DOOR STRUCK A WOODEN GATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE ROLLING VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE MINOR INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. *TT

ON MAY 31, 2018 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN, MY FRONT LEFT MOLDING WHEEL FLARE FLEW OFF OF MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THERE WERE NO HAZARDS IN THE ROADWAY AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO FLY OFF. THERE HAD ALSO BEEN NO PREVIOUS SIGNS THAT IT WAS LOSE OR ABOUT TO COME OFF, IT JUST SIMPLY FLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS ALSO DID NOT INDICATE ANY DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL HUB AREA THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE WHEEL FLARE TO DETACH.

2 WEEKS AGO MY STEERING WENT OUT. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS FAULTY AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO ONE CAN TELL HIM WHEN IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE BUT THE MANUFACTURER DID TELL HIM THAT THERE ARE 160 CUSTOMERS WAITING ON THIS PART. I AM CURRENTLY WITHOUT A VEHICLE DUE TO THIS, AS ARE THE OTHER 159 CUSTOMERS WAITING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED ONTO THE NEIGHBOR'S FARM. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE REAR HATCH BREAK LIGHT WAS COLLECTING WATER. THIS LARGE CLUSTER CRACKED DOWN THE VERY CENTER ALMOST AS IF THE WEIGHT OF THE TWO ENDS WAS NOT SUPPORTING PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE CENTER. ONCE IT FILLS WITH WATER ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE SUBMERGED IN WATER BURN OUT.

ALTERNATOR RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED BY DODGE SERVICE BUT WAS DOCUMENTED THAT IT WAS CHANGED AND LATER GAVE ISSUES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. DETAILS ARE IN FILE ATTACHED
