2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

REAR LIGHT BAR GOT WATER IN IT AT 30,000 MILES DEALER REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. REAR LIGHT BAR NOW ELECTRICAL SHORTED OUT FROM WATER

I'VE NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS OR AROUND THE CITY, WIPERS COME ON BY ITSELF. THAT HAPPEN TWICE... SOMETIMES THE SUNROOF DON'T OPEN, WHEN THE SUNROOF OPENS DON'T WANT TO CLOSE SOMETIMES. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH POWER TO CATCH UP WITH TRAFFIC, SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GIVE OUT. VERY LAGGY....THE NOTIFICATION FOR ENGINE/TRANS COMES OFF/ON AT TIMES. OTHER TO SOUND WEIRD BUT I BELIEVE SOMEONE HAS ACCESS REMOTELY TO VEHICLE. ALL THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY OR EVERY FEW DAYS I'VE NOTICED.

THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT NOR LOCK UP (TENSION) WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE ONCE ALREADY. THEY TOLD MY HUSBAND IT WAS DUE TO ME YANKING ON THE SEATBELT. WHICH IS SOMETHING I DO NOT DO. I CANNOT EVEN FEED IT BACK INTO THE SLOT. I DISCOVERED THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT LOCK UP WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT. A VEHICLE TURNED IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. I BELIEVE I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 -25 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP MYSELF FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEAT BELT NEVER LOCKED. THIS IS A 2014, WITH A LITTLE OVER 49,000 MILES. THE SEATBELT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THIS. NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME A GOOD DEAL OF MONEY TO FIX. BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

THERE IS A LEAK ON THE LED TAILLIGHTS. WATER IS NOW TRAPPED INSIDE MY TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS CAUSING MY TAILLIGHTS TO SHORT CIRCUIT MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BRAKE AND DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OTHER 2014 DURANGO OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

REAR "RACE TRACK" STYLE TAIL LIGHTS ON THE BACK TAIL GATE FILL WITH WATER AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE LEDS LOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHERE THE WATER POOLED,ARE NOT WORKING. THIS OCCURS DURING RAINFALL REGARDLESS OF STATIONARY OR UNDER MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. I NOTICED IT IN NOVEMBER 2017.

WHILE DRIVING 2014 DURANGO (W/ 26313 MILES) ON HIGHWAY, THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON, AND THE CAR SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECT THE CAR AND FOUND OIL DRIPPING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS SOAKED WITH OIL WHICH CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD. UPON DOING A BRIEF RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO OWNS A 2014 DODGE/ CHRYSLER WITH A PENTASTAR ENGINE REPORTED THAT THE CRACKED "PLASTIC ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING" CAUSING THE LEAK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR UNDER WARRANTY AND BLAMED ME FOR "OVER TORQUING" THE OIL FILTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT CALLED JIM COGDILL DODGE AT 856-690-1611 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V643000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE CAME FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NYLE MAXWELL CHRYSLER (13401 RANCH RD 620 N, AUSTIN, TX 78717), BUT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE TECHNICIAN SAW THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE HEADREST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,600. *BF *TR

FOR 2 YEARS WE HAD ISSUES WITH WORN INNER WALLS IN FRONT & STEERING SHAKE. WE BROUGHT IT IN WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY ALONG WITH VIDEO OF NOISE FROM SELF DIAGNOSTIC. OUR CONCERNS WERE DISMISSED BY DEALERSHIP & ANOTHER AUTOMOTIVE SHOP INFORMED ME THAT BOTH FRONT HUBS WERE BAD. CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN & SAME DISMISSAL. WE CHANGED BOTH HUBS AT OUR OWN EXPENSE AND PROBLEM FIXED. BUSHING WAS MAKING HORRENDOUS NOISE AND ALSO DISMISSED BY DEALERSHIP. CHANGED THAT ON OUR OWN EXPENSE AND ISSUE SOLVED. ALTERNATOR WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHANGED DUE TO RECALL BY DEALERSHIP & AFTER INSPECTING IT, WE HAVE BOTH AGREED THAT THE ALTERNATOR HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED. BOLTS SHOW NO SIGNS OF ANY TYPE OF TORQUE AND ALTERNATOR IS DUSTY AND DIRTY AS IS THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS IN ENGINE BAY WHICH ALSO LEAD US TO THE CONCLUSION. THIS VEHICLE WAS AND I BELIEVE STILL IS UNSAFE DUE TO RECALL CONCERNS AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WRONG DOING. I WILL BE SEEKING FURTHER ACTION AGAINST THEM AND HOPE THIS DOESN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN TO OTHERS.

I SUBMITTED A PREVIOUS REPORT RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. TODAY MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE STREET AND TOTALLY STARTED ON ITS OWN. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A REMOTE START. I WAS WALKING TOWARDS MY CAR TRYING TO TURN OFF THE PANIC HORN WHICH WAS SOUNDING. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS CAR HAS STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE OTHER THREE TIMES THIS OCCURRED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A REASON. I AM REALLY CONCERNED THIS COULD OCCUR WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE AND CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING (THE FIRST 3 TIMES IT STARTED ON ITS OWN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.)*BF *TR
