2014 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASE A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR FILLED THE CABIN WITH THE A/C OR HEAT TURNED ON. UPON EXITING THE CAR A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR WAS PRESENT AROUND THE HOOD AND LEFT FRONT FENDER. THE ODOR HAS RENDERED VEHICLE UNUSABLE TO TRANSPORT INFANT AND TODDLER. DODGE SERVICE HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 DAYS WITH NO RESOLUTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT GEAR. IT WAS STUCK ON D6 WHEN CAME TO A FULL STOP AT STOP SIGN. THEN CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD AFTER PRESSING GAS PEDAL. GETTING OUT OF CAR TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE TO PUSH CAR ON SIDE OF ROAD, THE CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. RAN BACK TO CAR N DROVE BACK HOME. PARKED CAR IN GARAGE AND TURNED OFF CAR THEN BACK ON. NOW THE CAR WOULDN'T GO TO ANY GEARS. IT'S STUCK ON PARK. IT WOULDN'T REVERSE OR DRIVE. CALLED CHRYSLER WARRANTY ONLINE AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR REPAIR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WAS STUCK ON D6. IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS UP OR DOWN. PULLED OVER AND WAS AT COMPLETE STOP BUT CAR WAS STILL ON D6. HAD TURNED CAR OFF AND ON THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

WHEN TURNING ON THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATER THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. ONCE THEY COME ON THEY CONTINUE TO RUN. ON OCCASION THEY WILL TURN OFF WHEN RUNNING THROUGH A VARIETY OF OPTIONS ON THE SAME STICK SUCH AS FLASHING THE BRIGHT LIGHT (PULL IN THE STICK) OR TURNING ON THE SIGNAL AGAIN IN THE OTHER DIRETION. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO ANY OF IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO START AND THE WIPERS WENT ON EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THEN SUDDENLY THE RADIO WENT ON EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT TURN IT ON AND THIS CAUSED THE WIPERS TO STOP. THIS LOOKS A LOT LIKE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND WE ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT BE A TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE PROBLEM WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVIESTICATION FOR RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE 31 DECEMBER 2013. ACTUALLY GOT VEHICLE ABOUT SIX DAYS LATER. ON 22 JANUARY 2014, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY SO I COULD CHECK THE MAIL. WHILE WALKING BACK TO THE VEHICLE FORM THE MAILBOX, THE VEHICLE STARTING BACKING UP A HILL ON ITS OWN. I HAD TO RUN NEXT TO THE VEHICLE, HANGING PARTIALLY INSIDE THE CAB, TO ATTEMPT TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO PUSH DOWN EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH MY HAND IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. VEHICLE ALSO HAS USED ACTIVE BRAKING FEATURE AND THE ACTIVE BRAKING ALARM HAS SOUNDED TO INFORM ME THAT I WAS TOO CLOSE TO A VEHICLE, THOUGH THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN SITE (THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES). VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTS ON IT OWN. VEHICLE ALSO REMOTE STARTS ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE STATES IT IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT CLEARLY IS IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS WENT FROM PARK TO DRIVE ON ONE OCCASION AS WELL. THE VEHICLE BACK HATCH OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MY BELONGINGS FELL OUT ALL IN ROAD. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE CORRECTLY WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES FROM A STOP BUT USUALLY FROM A SLOW SPEED. THIS CAUSES OTHER DRIVERS TO COME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME BECAUSE I AM GOING SLOWER THAN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC (BECAUSE MY FOOT IS DEPRESSING THE GAS PETAL BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT REACTING). CHRYSLER HAS SENT AN INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, AND HE FOUND NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. I REPORTED THEM 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BUY BACK VEHICLE. THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED SAFETY FEATURES ON THE 2015 FOR SOME OF THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES, YET DENY THE ISSUES EXISTING. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER POSSIBLE FAILURE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALER, DIEHL CHRYSLER IN BUTLER PA I WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART FOR THE REPAIR AND AS OF THIS DATE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REPAIR PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL LAST WEEK FOR SUN VISOR WIRING AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS INFORMED BY THE SAME DEALER THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL DO NOT REALIZE, THE CAR STILL BRAKING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PEDAL. ALMOST CRASH FROM BEHIND THE CAR STOP HARD JUST PUT A SMALL TOUCH IN A DESCENDING STREET. THE CAR ALMOST BRAKES TOTALLY AND REALIZED IN ANY MOMENT WHEN ACCELERATE, ALSO CRASH BECAUSE I WAS ACCELERATION AND REALIZED, THE CAR GO SO FAST ALMOST CRASH. *TR

DRIVING THE CAR AT CITY SPEEDS APPROX 30 MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. WE WERE FORCED TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO THE SIDE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, AND NOW ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. I FEEL THAT WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO BE IN AN AREA WHERE IT WAS SAFE TO PULL OVER, IF WE HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

APRIL 9, 2014 ? WEDNESDAY MORNING. I WAS DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. HE LEFT THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TO CHIME - KEY FOB NOT DETECTED. I WAS STILL IN THE CAR, WITH THE KEY FOB IN CAR, BUT STILL COULD NOT MOVE UNTIL TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. ? VIDEO TAPED MYSELF.
