TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT THEN SAW SMOKE THAT SEEPED INTO THE CABIN AS HE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT ALSO SAW SMOKE COMING FOR UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS LOCATED BUT DID NOT SEE ANY FLAMES. AAA TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY DEPLETED, ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE, POSITIVE TERMINAL WAS SHORTED DIRECTLY TO GROUND, TOTAL INTEGRATED MODULE AND POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WERE BURNED. THE MECHANIC FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT IT DID NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,618.

THE 2012 DODGE JOURNEY SUV WIRING HARNESS IN THE REAR HATCH IF USED REGULARLY THE WIRES WILL BRAKE AND CAUSE NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. RANGING FROM NO REAR LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPER, THE REAR LOCK BUTTON WILL ALSO MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES AS IN MY CASE IT HAS CAUSE ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I AM NOW BROKE DOWN DUE TO WHAT WILL NOW BE MY 3RD ALTERNATOR IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO RECALLED.

THE SCREEN FOR THE STEREO CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES LIKE IT IS SHORTING AND THE TOGGLE BUTTONS CONTINUOUSLY FREEZE. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SAID I NEEDED TO MAKE SURE MY CHARGER HAD NO DUST IN IT AND MAKE SURE THE SLOT HAD NONE EITHER. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND I WENT DIRECTLY TO MY PHONE MANUFACTURER AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW DUST FREE CHARGER. ISSUE HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME ANOTHER CHRYSLER MADE CAR WHILE THEY HAD MINE, NOT ONE ISSUE OF THIS. MY OLD CAR WAS CHRYSLER MADE, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND THE FACT THAT NO ONE WILL FIX IT IS CRAZY WHEN MY CAR HAD 18 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT JUST NOW STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING IT. IT DOES THIS IN ANY GEAR OR IN PARK WHILE THE CAR IS ON. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF OR MAYBE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY USED THEIR CODE READER AND CAN NOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.. I HAVE GOT A OIL CHANGE AND USED A GAS TREATMENT ON IT SO FAR ITS STILL JERKING WHILE I DRIVE. I AM WORRIED THIS COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES OR EVEN CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. I USE THIS CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK AND MY FAMILY AS WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

CAR RANDOMLY REVS AND GOES INTO A STEALTH MODE WHERE YOU MUST DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ENGINE. ALSO THE CAR RANDOMLY STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT IS AND YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY PULL THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK FOR THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE ITS ACTUALLY IN PARK.

WHILE REVERSING TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE CAUSING THE TIRE TO COME OFF AND CAUSING A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHCILE WAS TAKEN TO INGRAM PARK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (7000 NORTHWEST LOOP 410, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78238, (210) 782-8470) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

AFTER A HEAVY RAIN AND SUBSEQUENT RAINS, THERE WAS A HEAVY LEAK DOWN THE INTERIOR WALL BETWEEN THE FRONT SEAT AND THE BACK SEAT, FLOODING UNDER THE FRONT SEAT, DRIVER-SIDE FRONT SEAT, AND DRIVER-SIDE BACK SEAT FLOOR UNDER THE CARPET. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. ALSO, SINCE THEN, THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES ON THEIR OWN AFTER I'VE LOCKED THE VEHICLE AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT. THE LEAK SEEMS TO BE IN THE ROOF SEAM IN THE DRIVER SIDE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE FAULTY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY NEEDED MONEY UP-FRONT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, WHICH I REFUSE TO PAY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CONTACTED DODGE THREE TIMES, THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT.

WE OWN A 2014 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 41000 MILES ON IT THAT HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT MOSTLY IN TOWN SPEEDS. NO POWER STEERING ASSIST , NO POWER BRAKE ASSIST. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH HAND CONTROLS FOR A DISABLED DRIVER. WITH ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE HAND ON THE BRAKE LEVER ALL YOU CAN DO IS COAST TO A STOP. YES THE SAME FAILURES AS THE 2008 THRU 2010 GRAND CARAVANS THAT WERE RECALLED. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS A WEAK DETENT SPRING IN IT. WE HAD THE SWITCH AND BOTH KEYS REPLACED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN RURAL WISCONSIN THAT JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE THE SWITCH IN STOCK. THE SERVICE WRITER GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND JIGGLED THE KEY WHICH SHUT OF THE IGNITION AND STATED YES THIS IS A BAD SWITCH JUST LIKE THE RECALLED ONES.. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ASKING FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST OF $977.91 AND THEY JUST REPLY WITH " I AM SORRY BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY"
