2013 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS TAKING TOO LONG TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 10/22/14*CN

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION P14/NHTSA 14V-154 I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP VIGO DODGE IN TERRE HAUTE, IN THEY TOLD ME THE PART WASN'T IN AND TO CALL BACK IN TWO WEEKS. I CALLED BACK, THE PARTS STILL WEREN'T IN AND THEY PUT ME ON THE CALL LIST AND TOLD ME I WAS NOW #8 ON THE LIST. THIS HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS SINCE NOTIFICATION. I AM UNABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR

THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET. THIS WAS THE ONLY PLACE I FOUND TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING A RECALL. THIS IS NOT IN REGARDS TO A ACCIDENT BUT THE CONCERN OF THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT RELATED TO THE RECALL OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL THAT IS NOT BEING CORRECTED FAST ENOUGH AND IS BECOMING A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF 400 OTHERS IN GETTING MY BRAKES REPAIRED. THE DANGER IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER FREEZES IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH NOT ONLY INFLICTING INJURY ON US BUT POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE. I DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED? I HAVE TALKED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND CALLED THEIR RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER IS ONLY RECEIVING SMALL AMOUNTS OF THE SHIELD TO FIX THE CARS AND ARE CONTINUALLY WAITING FOR MORE TO COME. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. DOES FURTHER ACTION NEED TO TAKE PLACE REGARDING THIS RECALL. POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION? I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE AGGRESSIVE ACTION IS TAKEN. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE P14/NHTSA14V-154 FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. ASKED FOR THIS TO BE ADDRESSED ON THE ABOVE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT DATE OF 06/10/2014. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ASSISTANT SHE DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN, BUT THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE THE PARTS IN 2-4 WEEKS. SHE ASKED THAT I GIVE HER A CALL OR SEND HER AN EMAIL TO VERIFY THE PARTS WERE IN AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR 8AM ON FRIDAY, 07/12/14, AND WHEN I SHOWED UP I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT HANDLE ANY OF THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS THEY HAD; THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO SERVICE OIL CHANGES. SHE SAID THE ELECTRICITY HAD BEEN OUT THE DAY BEFORE, THEIR SYSTEMS WERE STILL HAVING TROUBLE, AND THEY COULD NOT HANDLE THE CUSTOMER LOAD. SHE SAID THEY HAD TO TAKE ALL THE CUSTOMERS' INFORMATION ON PAPER AND WOULD CALL EACH CUSTOMER BACK TO SCHEDULE A NEW APPOINTMENT. IT IS NOW 08/05/2014 AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. *TR

RATTLING NOISE FROM DASHBOARD ON DRIVER'S SIDE NOTED EARLIER, BUT BROUGHT TO SERVICE ATTENDANT'S ATTENTION ON THE GIVEN DATE. WAS TOLD THE SOUND/NOISE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED, BUT IF I COULD BRING IN VIDEO WITH SOUND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DETERMINE ISSUE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 07/12/14 TO HAVE THIS AND OTHER ISSUES ADDRESSED. WHEN I SHOWED UP FOR MY APPOINTMENT, I WAS TOLD THE ELECTRICITY HAD BEEN OUT THE DAY BEFORE AND THEY WERE BACKED UP WITH CUSTOMERS (AT 8:05 AM) AND ONLY ACCEPTING OIL CHANGES. THEY TOOK DOWN ALL VEHICLE INFORMATION/SERVICE INFORMATION AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME TO SCHEDULE A NEW APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS ALL CONCERNS. IT IS NOW 08/05/2014 AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RETURN PHONE OR EMAIL. THE RATTLING NOISE CAN BE DUPLICATED IF I AM DRIVING OVER A SMOOTH OR BUMPY ROAD, AND CAN BE HEARD BETWEEN 30+ MPH. I HAVE IT ON VIDEO NOW, WITH SOUND. NO ONE TO LISTEN TO IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION HESITATES OR "STUTTERS" WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND FREEZES GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "FLASH UPDATE" AVAILABLE AND COMPLETED. HAVE TAKEN DURANGO BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE 11/23/13, 06/10/14, AND HAD AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY, 07/12/14 BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY INFORMATION/APPOINTMENT DOWN ON PAPER THEN CALL TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. IT IS NOW 08/05/14, AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE RETURN PHONE CALL. THE ENGINE WILL SURGE TO A HIGH RPM WHILE I AM COASTING AT A SET SPEED (USUALLY BETWEEN 20-45 MPH). ON THE VISIT DATE OF 06/10/14, SERVICE REPAIR SHOWS TWO FLASH UPDATES (SOFTWARE 1 & SOFTWARE 2) WERE COMPLETED. THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION FROM DODGE CONCERNING THE "FLASH UPDATES" THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ARE NECESSARY TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING PROPERLY. *TR

BROUGHT VECHILE IN FOR RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTER RUSTING. UPON REMOVING BRAKE BOOSTER THE MECHANIC FOUND A LEAKING MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THE MASTERBRAKE CYLINDER WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 8-11-14 & ANOTHER PART OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN HE CAN GET THIS PART. AS THIS IS A NEW VECHILE WITH LESS THEN 9,000 MILES I FIND THIS TYPE OF FAILURE UNEXPECTED BUT MORE AMAZING A DEALER CAN'T GET PARTS FOR 2 WEEKS OR MORE. SMELL TO ME THAT DODGE HAS A MAJOR BRAKING ISSUE THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP QUIET. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

I RECEIVED VIA REGULAR MAIL NOTICE OF SAFETY RECALL P14/NHTSA 14V-154 FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER PERFORATIONS DUE TO CORROSION. I HAD CONTACTED AND LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES WITH NO CALL BACK TO MIAMI LAKES AUTOMALL, 16600 NW 57 AVE, MIAMI LAKES, FL 33018 AND PHONE # 305-558-1400 OR 305-455-3683. THIS IS THE SAME AUTO DEALER FROM WHERE VEHICLE WAS LEASED AND IT IS TAKEN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICES. I DECIDED TO GO IN PERSON ONE SATURDAY MORNING, TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE A PHOTOCOPY WITH ONE OF THE SERVICE ATTENDANTS AND I WILL BE CONTACTED ONCE PART ARRIVES TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE A WAITING LIST WHICH I WAS NOT INFORMED HOW THEY ORGANIZE IT NOR HOW THEY PLAN AHEAD TO ADDRESS EVERY IMPACTED CLIENT. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET TO MAKE APPOINTMENT NOR A COURTESY CALL TO FOLLOW UP STATUS OF MY SERVICE REQUEST. I CALLED LAST FRIDAY, AND AGAIN AN KNOWN STATUS WAS PROVIDED TO ME AS FOR SPECIFIC DATE I COULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GET PARTS INVOLVED REPLACED. YOUR ATTENTION AND ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED IT. THANK YOU. *JS
