2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT ON FRIDAY. ON MONDAY ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET THE TRUCK LOST POWER STARTED SHAKING AND A BURNING SMELL FILLED THE CABIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. SERVICE SAID IT WAS A FAULTY BATTERY AND CHANGED IT. ON WEDNESDAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED RETURNED TO THE DEALER. TRUCK WAS KEPT FOR TWO DAYS. SERVICE COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SYSTEM WAS RESET AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS IN PARK IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY CHILDREN'S DAYCARE CENTER. I SPILLED TEA IN THE CUP HOLDER, WHICH CAUSED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO SHORT OUT AND DISABLE MY VEHICLE. WORKING FOR AN ELECTRONICS SUPPLIER, I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP DRIVING IF LIQUID WERE TO SHORT THIS CIRCUIT OUT WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER IS STATING THAT THIS IS NOT THEIR ISSUE, WHICH IS COMPLETELY FALSE, AS IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY. FELT LIKE BRAKES STAYED APPLIED AND WOULD NOT MOVE, AND HAD TO BE FORCED. SECOND INCIDENT WAS THE NEXT MORNING THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD NOT DEPRESS CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES, AND GOING RIGHT THROUGH A STOP SIGN. THIRD INCIDENT WAS ON THE WAY TO DEALER. STOPPED AT A LIGHT TWO MILES FROM DEALER AND BRAKES STAYED COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I HAD TO REV THE MOTOR TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT. CALLED FOR A TOW, HAD AN HOUR AND A HALF WAIT TO GO A MILE UP THE ROAD. FINALLY, AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR, THE BRAKES RELEASED AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO DEALER. DURING THIS INCIDENT THE PARK LOCK OUT DID NOT WORK AND THE PEDDLE HAD NO DOWNWARD MOVEMENT. HOWEVER, THE DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS LEADING THEM TO TRY AND SEND US HOME IN IT. I REFUSED AND INSISTED MORE BE DONE TO DIAGNOSE DUE TO THE UNSAFE POSSIBILITIES. *TR

I WAS IN A COLLISION THAT INVOLVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WITH OVER $11000 IN DAMAGES AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE SO DIDN'T EXPECT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES AIRBAGS BUT DID NOT SEE MY VEHICLE ON THE CURRENT LISTING OF RECALLS. I WOULD LIKE TO ENSURE THIS ISN'T A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE MODEL VEHICLE OR FIND INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET MINE TESTED. *TR

VEHICLE IS A NEW COMPANY VEHICLE AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 507 MILES ON IT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING AND VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND STARTED TO SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. PULLED INTO NEXT SAFE PARKING LOT AND OPENED HOOD. COULDN'T SEE ANY FLAMES AND AFTER ABOUT 5 - 10 MINUTES SMOKE STOPPED. TRIED DRIVING VEHICLE AND IT SEEMED OK EXCEPT FOR NO POWER STEERING. DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR CHRYSLER, DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL A LOCAL CHRYSLER, DODGE DEALER FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING VEHICLE IN TWO DAYS LATER FOR SERVICE. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKED FROM BEHIND THE PULLEY.
