MY CAR HAS A VERY BAD HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AND SHUTTERS WHEN THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. THE CODE I'M GETTING IS A DEALER PART ONLY AND I'VE FOUND THAT 4 OUT OF FIVE DODGE DURANGO OR CHRYSLER ASPEN HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EXPENSIVE TRIAL AND ERROR PROCESS. MY SISTER WHO OWNS A 2008 ASPEN JUST REPLACED THE SAME PART I NEED TO REPLACE FOR ALMOST 1,000 DOLLARS AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SOLENOIDS FROM THIS HEMI ENGINE. IT'S NOT ALLOWS ALL CYLINDERS TO WORK BECAUSE THIS FAULTY PART IS MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART SO I'M SURE 75% OF THE OWNERS CAN FINALLY HAVE A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND NOT GET STRANDED LIKE OTHERS I'M SURE THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING, THE VEHICLE JUST STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, BRAKES OR POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. HELP!

TAKATA RECALL WAS PLACED MAY 2016, I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2016. OCTOBER 24, 2017 IS WHEN I RECEIVED THE POST CARD IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR W/O KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP I WAS PLACED ON A WAIT LIST FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE WAIT IS DUE TO THE PARTS NOT GETTING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TIME. I THINK THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING CONSUMERS OF POTENTIAL DANGERS IS SHAMEFUL! A POST CARD? SERIOUSLY?! IT'S JUST MY LIFE AND THOSE THAT SIT UP FRONT WITH ME. NO WORRIES....

TRANSFER CASE CAN BE HEARD ENGAGING EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED. ENGAGING IS SOMETIMES TRIGGERED BY THE REMOTE WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING DOORS. 4 LO LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH THEN MY BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE BYPASS WITH CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK. IT IS A MIRACLE WE DIDN'T ROLL OVER, BUT ANOTHER TRUCK WAS FORCED OFF OF THE ROAD WHILE I USED TWO LANES TO TRY TO CONTROL THE DURANGO. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT (NO ACTIVE CODE)... IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS THEN THE SRVC 4X4 LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A STREET... I COULDN'T MOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP. SHOP STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. STILL NO ACTIVE CODE, TRUCK SEEMS FINE. I DROVE IT A FEW MORE DAYS AND NOW IT HAS SLIPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. CANNOT TRAVEL OVER 35 MPH.. PARKING, REVERSE AND TIGHT TURNS ARE VERY DIFFICULT. MY TAKE OFF SPEED IS NEARLY NONEXISTENT. TRUCK SHIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK THREE TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES IT SOUNDED LIKE A STUN GUN SPARKING BEHIND MY DASH AND IT LIT UP WITH A WHITE LIGHT FROM INSIDE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER HAS FAILED. RECALL G07: INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER: KNOWN TO OVERHEAT AND CATCH FIRE. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK IN 2007, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE REPLACEMENT PART. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP. I AM SO SORRY I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. PLEASE... WHY IS CHRYSLER ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING A RECALL ONE TIME/VEHICLE? THEY KNOW IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. IT DID, HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL. NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... REPLACING TRANSFER CASES, CPU MODULES AND THEIR PROBLEMS DO NOT GO AWAY BECAUSE THEIR PROBLEM IS A DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE RECALLED INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER THAT WILL NEVER CODE AND TELL ON ITSELF.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS WELL AS NOT STARTING AT IRREGULAR MOMENTS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO REPAIR SHOP. EACH TIME TO HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT FIXED, FIRST TIME IT WAS BATTERY AND LEADS, NEXT IT WAS ALTERNATOR, THEN NEW BELT , AND AFTER EACH FIX THE PROBLEM WOULD COME BACK, FINALLY AN HONEST MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT I HAD TO REMOVE LEADS TO BATTERY FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE CAR COULD CRANK AGAIN. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. HE CHECKED CAM SENSOR AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR - ALL GOOD TOO. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OVER TWO YEARS. THE WORST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS NOT PRINCIPAL CITY STREET AT RUSH HOUR WITH 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE, I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING THE CHILDREN OUT OF THE STALLED VEHICLE AND SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BEFORE PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMS OLDER DODGE DURANGOS LIKE MINE FROM 2006 HAVE THIS COME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T A SOURCE TO THIS PROBLEM BEEN IDENTIFIED AND A MANUFACTURER RECALL SOLUTION BEEN PROVIDED? TWICE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND NEW EXPENSES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS WERE PRESCRIBED, AND NONE FIXED THE PROBLEM. MUST THE PUBLIC WAIT UNTIL SOME DIES ON THE ROAD WHEN THIS PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO STALLED VEHICLES HAVE MORE ACCIDENTS AND THEN DEATHS?
