MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 1/2 A DOZEN TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHETHER IT BE ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY (LITERALLY HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE DURING TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY) OR TURNING A CORNER, IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND "FSW" FLASHES. ALL POWER IS TURNED OFF AND LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE OFF TO THE SIDE (IF I AM ABLE TO), OF I JUST SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROUTE, PUT IN PARK AND CONTINUE ON MY DRIVE. I HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOS THAT I HAVE TAKEN OF MY DASHBOARD, SHOWING THIS "FSW" (SHOWING MILEAGE). LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS DECEMBER 2019

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY BEGIN TO STALL WHEN DRIVING AND POWER OFF. ONCE YOU LET YOU SIT IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP KIND ROUGH AND THEN DRIVE FINE.

I'VE PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN THIS SUV IDK WHAT ELSE IT IS I CANT DRIVE IT FOR TO LONG BEFORE ITS STARTS THE MISFIRE AGAIN .

NOTICED A "TAPPING" NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE ON RIGHT DRIVER SIDE. ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS INTERMITTENTLY AFFECTED. TAPPING NOISE WOULD GET LOUDER AT IDLE AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE INCREASINGLY MISFIRING AT TIMES. THIS ISSUE AFFECTED DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE DIAGNOSED PROBLEM: CYLINDER 3 MISSFIRE/SEIZED LIFTER ROLLER, ULTIMATELY LEADING TO CAMSHAFT DAMAGE. AFTER REVIEW/INTERNET SEARCHING, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 5.7L HEMI ENGINES AND ATTRIBUTED TO EXCESSIVE IDLING. I NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH MY HEMI UNTIL MOVING TO VIRGINIA AND SUBSEQUENTLY SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON I-95 (EXCESSIVE IDLING). IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY ARE CONSUMERS NOT MADE AWARE AND MOREOVER, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM? THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO SPAN ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT USE 5.7L HEMIS, SPECIFICALLY DODGE MANUFACTURED VEHICLES.

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED EXITING THE SAME EXIT ON A RIGHT SHARP TURN AT THE SAME PART OF THE TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I HAD TO FORCE ALL MY WEIGHT TO TURN IT AND PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE SIDE. DODGE DEALER CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT WANTED TO KEEP CAR TO INVESTIGATE. I FILED A COMPLAINT AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THERE WAS A RECALL WITH FIRST OWNER FOR THIS HAPPENING AND IT WAS SUPPOSIVELY FIXED, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT ENTIRELY FIXED. I AVOIDED THAT EXIT THINKING I TEMPORARILY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIRD TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WAS ON A LEFT HAND TURN. NO ONE WAS BEHIND US SO WE AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED. CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY RESTARTED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN USING SAME CASE NUMBER FROM BEFORE BUT I WAS TOLD THERES NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. 4TH AND 5TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED TODAY , FIRST WAS AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC, NO TURN. I PRESS GAS AND REALIZED MY ENGINE WAS OFF WHILE ELECTRICAL STAYS ON, SO MY AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO WEREN'T EFFECTED. AND LAST I TURNED RIGHT INTO A DRIVE WAY AT WORK, ENGINE TURNED OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD TO PLACE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. THE FIRST TWO TIMES HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY EXIT. I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR THAT MY CHILDREN RIDE IN AND CHRYSLER DOESNT WANT TO HELP WITH PROBLEM. I DON'T MIND PITCHING IN TO HELP PROBLEM. I TRIED TRADING IN TO DODGE BUT DIDNT HAVE DOWN PAYMENT FOR NEW ONE.
