2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

2014 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL 5.7 LITER REAR RACETRACK LED LIGHTING BURNED OUT AT LOWER RIGHT SIDE BOTTOM. IT APPEARS WATER HAS ENTERED AND BURNED OUT THE LED BULBS IN THAT AREA.

A/C WILL NOT WORK--RELAY THAT IS BUILT INTO THE POWER MODULE WILL NOT FUNCTION--DEALER SAYS THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE EXPENSIVE MODULE. CAN NOT GET THE PART.

VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, BUT RUNNING, IN MY DRIVEWAY. GOT OUT TO LET PASSENGERS OUT. TURNED AROUND TO GET BACK IN AND CAR STARTED DRIVING ITSELF FORWARD, ALMOST HITTING MY CHILD. MANAGED TO JUMP IN AND STOP IT AFTER IT HIT MY HUSBAND'S CAR WITH THE OPEN DRIVER DOOR. THE SHIFTER KNOB HAS MOVED ITSELF INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND ACTUALLY SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING PRESSED.

THE REAR CENTER TAIL LIGHT (RACETRACK) IS COLLECTING WATER WHICH CAUSED THE LED'S IN THE BOTTOM CORNERS TO STOP WORKING.

WATER AND CONDENSATION IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. I THINK THE NAME OF THIS IS CALLED "RACE TRACK" TAIL LIGHTS. WATER IS STUCK IN THERE AND HAS BURNT OUT ONE SIDE OF MY LED LIGHT. IT JUST SLOSHES AROUND WITH NO WAY TO ESCAPE. THE OTHER SIDE IS SUBMERGED TOO BUT HASN'T YET BURNED OUT. THE ENTIRE PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE PART IS ON "NATIONAL BACK ORDER". I'M SURE IT WONT PASS INSPECTION AND I COULD GET A TICKET FOR IT. MY DURANGO IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE AS I JUST HIT THE 3 YEAR MARK AND I AM SICKENED THAT THIS PART IS OVER $1000. I WISH THIS WOULD BE A RECALL FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

WATER AND/OR CONDENSATION IN REAR LIFT GATE TAILLIGHT IS CAUSING THE LED LIGHT TO START BURNING OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS GLITCH AS I HAVE SEEN THIS IN SEVERAL OTHER DURANGO'S ON THE ROAD, AND A FEW OF THE NEWER STYLE CHARGERS (SAME EXACT BURNING OUT LOCATION). WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART (EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND WILL FIGHT WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS DEFECT) AS FROM A MILEAGE STANDPOINT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WILL ATTEMPT FURTHER REIMBURSEMENT FOR THESE EXPENSES, HOWEVER THE PART WAS ORDERED BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH 2017, AND IS STILL ON BACK ORDER AS OF 4/26/17 WITH NO RELEASE DATE. THIS SORT OF BACK ORDER TELLS ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE SUPPLY FOR ALL THE OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE!

WATER POOLING IN REAR TAIL LIGHT CAUSING LED TO BURN OUT. VERTICAL LINE CRACK IN CENTER OF REAR LED ASSEMBLY.

THE VEHICLE PUT ITSELF IN REVERSE AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE AT HOME IN THE DRIVEWAY AND ANOTHER IN A TARGET PARKING LOT. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID AND INCIDENT. MY CHILDREN PLAY OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY WHICH MAKES THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I AM NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE TECH SAW THE TRUCK JUMP INTO GEAR WHILE IT WAS SITTING IDLE BUT SINCE THE "FLIGHT RECORDER" WAS NOT HOOKED UP, THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AFTER IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AGAIN. THE DEALER THEN DENIED MY SECOND REQUEST TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE "LOANER VEHICLE POLICY". THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURER BUYBACK ALSO THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE.

CENTER REAR TAILLAMP ON TAILGATE IS GETTING WATER INSIDE OF IT THAT PUDDLES AND COLLECTS IN BOTTOM OF ASSEMBLE. CONCERNED THAT LED UNITS IN THE LAMP MAY SHORT OUT.

REAR TRACK LIGHT HAS MOISTURE INSIDE AND A PORTION OF THE LIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT LEAVING DARK AREAS.
