Alternator having to replace. There is a ticking sound that has been going on and the alternator goes out. I have replaced this part twice and each time before it goes out it starts to tick. Also have a brand new battery installed and it is dead again! Each time the alternator goes out it kills my battery. 2008 dodge Durango.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE DURANGO. UPON OPENING THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS DRENCHED AFTER IT RAINED OVERNIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLY FAILED AT LEAST TEN TIMES BEFORE WITHIN THE PAST TEN MONTHS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE FIRST OCCURRED IN JUNE OF 2017. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CRYSTAL CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE IN BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA, 352-597-1265) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF FAILED. THE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE SUN ROOF WAS REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

ON NOVEMBER 24, 2017 CAR PURCHASED FROM PINELLAS AUTO BROKERS, INC. LOCATED AT 4600 66TH STREET NORTH, ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA. THE NEXT MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 2017,CAR WAS TAKEN FOR OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED FRAME RESTORATION AND THEN APPLY FOR A SALVAGE TITLE AFTER INSPECTION, NONE OF WHICH WAS DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. SALESPERSON ASSURED ME THAT NO VEHICLES COME TO THE LOT WITH ANY MAJOR DAMAGE, ONLY MINOR ISSUES. PER MECHANIC, NOT ROAD WORTHY AND IS OUTSIDE MECHANICAL LIMITS; NOT ONLY A DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN THIS CAR WITH MY 2 CHILDREN (AGES 3 & 6). MY MOTHER PAID FOR THE CAR VIA DEBIT CARD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE FOR SELLING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION PUTS ITSELF INTO 4WD SOMETIMES WITH AN INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT, SOMETIMES WITHOUT. IT DOES THIS BOTH WHEN STOPPED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT WHEN I SEARCHED THIS ONLINE. IT'S A 2008 MODEL BUT IT'S A RELATIVELY NEW CAR FOR ME SO, THAT IS WHY I'M JUST MENTIONING IT NOW. IN THE FEW MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THIS HAS HAPPENED NO FEWER THAN 10 TIMES. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DID NOT CRASH ON EITHER OF THOSE OCCASIONS BUT, IT WAS VERY CLOSE BOTH TIMES. THE SECOND TIME, AFTER LURCHING VERY HARD ACROSS TWO LANES, IT THEN KICKED INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR EVEN CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP. INSTEAD, I WAS STUCK IN AN ACTIVE LANE TO WAIT ON A TOW TRUCK. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT. I WAS JUST STRANDED. IF THIS WAS JUST ME, I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN HERE. BUT, AS I SAID, I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME MATTER DATING BACK THE PAST DECADE OR SO. I LIVE IN DUBAI, UAE. MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE NUMBER IN THE INFORMATION BELOW IS A VERY OLD HOME PHONE NUMBER FROM WHEN I LIVED IN THE US. THE ATTACHED FORM WOULDN'T TAKE MY ACTUAL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER.
