2016 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

MY TAILLIGHTS HAVE A SHORTAGE WITH WATER IN IT AND MY TAILLIGHT ISN'T FLUSHED WITH THE BODY OF MY VEHICLE. GOT PULLED OVER BY LOUISIANA STATE POLICE BECAUSE OF LIGHT FLICKERING OFF AND ON.

ON 06/2018 I CAME HOME AND PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. I PUT OUR DODGE DURANGO 2016 WITH 21110 MILES IN THE PARK POSITION AND I THEN OPENED OUR GARAGE DOOR HALFWAY OPEN. I WALKED UNDER THE DOOR AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET MY WALLET OUT OF MY PANTS WHICH I WAS WEARING EARLIER. IT WAS A COUPLE MINUTES LATER WHEN MY WIFE AND I HEARD A BIG BANG. WE BOTH RAN OUT TO THE GARAGE AND SAW THE 2016 DODGE DURANGO SUV HALFWAY INTO THE GARAGE. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS STOPPING THE SUV FROM GAINING SPEED AND COMING INTO THE HOUSE. IT DAMAGE OUR GARAGE DOOR SIGNIFICANTLY AND PUT SCRATCHES ON OUR SUV HOOD AND WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY THE GARAGE DOOR STOPPED IT OTHERWISE IT WOULD'VE BROKEN DOWN THE WALL AND COULD'VE RAN OVER ONE OF OUR CHILDREN OR US OR DONE SO MUCH DAMAGE. MY GARAGE DOOR IS DAMAGED IN OUR SUV IS SCRATCHED UP AND FORTUNATELY IT'S NOT OUR LIFE THAT WAS HURT. AS FAR AS THE ENGINE IS CONCERNED WITH YOU A KNOCKING WHEN WE PRESS THE GAS AT FIRST. BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. SOUND LIKE A LIFTER IS GOING OR ARE BAD

MY GARAGE DOOR IS DAMAGED IN OUR SUV IS SCRATCHED UP AND FORTUNATELY IT'S NOT OUR LIFE THAT WAS HURT. AS FAR AS THE ENGINE IS CONCERNED WE HEAR A KNOCKING WHEN WE PRESS THE GAS AT FIRST. BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AS WELL.. SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER OR SIMILAR IS GOING OR ARE BAD

MY CAR STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. IT WOULD NOT MOVE, ALL KINDS OF THINGS STARTED GOING OFF ON THE DASH AND CODES . WE HAD TO PULL THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE TO GET IT IN N TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD. IT LOST ALL POWER AND WOULDN'T EVEN START HAD TO JUMP IT OFF AND REPLACED THE BATTERIES STILL NOTHING, ALTERNATOR AND EVERYTHING ELSE TESTED GOOD. NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP! I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR 30 DAYS YET. I HAVE VIDEO I CAN SEND OF WHAT IT'S DOING. *TR

STEERING LOCKS WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY MAKING A LEFT LANE CHANGE OR TURN. THIS OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN ON SHORT TRIPS (LESS THAN 10 MILES). NO WARNING LIGHTS

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN 2018, WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. IT CURRENTLY HAS AROUND 48K MILES ON IT, AND THE RACETRACK LED TAIL LIGHT BAR HAS WATER IN IT, CAUSING PART OF THE BAR TO GO OUT. THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE - FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT AND NOT EXPECT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO SHELL OUT AROUND $1200 TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN.

THE TAIL LIGHT THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS ON THE BACK LEAKS. I'VE ALREADY THIS REPLACED ONCE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE BUGS GOT IN THERE. NOW THIS KEEPS MOISTURE, I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO DRAIN THIS OR IT WOULD MAKE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON EVERY VEHICLE THAT HAS THESE LIGHTS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, I DIDN'T EXPECT AFTER ONLY A YEAR OF HAVING I WOULD COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

REAR TAIL LIGHTS HAD MOISTURE IN THEM AFTER BUYING THE CAR. DEALER STATES DODGE WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALER DRILLED HOLES TO HELP THE MOISTURE DRAIN. NOW THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS HAVE POOLING WATER IN THEN ABOUT A 1/4 OF THE LIGHT IS FILLED. REAR TAIL LIGHTS/BRAKE LIGHTS STILL WORK FOR NOW. LED RACETRACK LIGHTING THAT GOES ALL AROUND THE REAR LIGHTS IS BLOWING OUT DUE TO THE WATER GETTING INTO IT. PER THE DEALER DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS LIGHTING AND THE WATER GETTING INTO IT. I WILL HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $1200 TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

THE RACETRACK LIGHTING ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH WATER AND BURNED OUT SEVERAL LED LIGHTS. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. ONCE I WAS OVER 36,000 MILES, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE NEW PART THE DEALER INSTALLED. I CALLED DEALER SINCE 5 MONTHS LATER AFTER THE NEW INSTALLATION, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO FEE.

5TH TIME EVENT HAS OCCURRED. AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE VEHICLE WILL COMMENCE TO ACCELERATE. ONLY BY AGGRESSIVELY APPLYING THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM PLOWING AHEAD CAN I PLACE THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER PREVIOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGED CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEMS. I THINK THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. PREVIOUS FILE NUMBER #10916715.
