I TURNED THE CAR OFF RESTED FOR A MINUTE THEN RESTARTED IT AND PROCEEDED TO THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TO GET MY CAR AN OIL CHANGE THINKING THAT WOULD DO THE TRICK.

SINCE MY CAR HAS HAD 74,000 MILES I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR "ABRUPT SHUTDOWNS". 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

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STOP RUNNING WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR WHEN MAKING A SLOW TURN. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HIT THE CURB.
Electrical system, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 18, 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. THEN COUPLE DAYS LATER IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. MY WIFE WAS MAKING A TURN WHEN IT STALLED AND ALMOST GOT T BONED. WE TOOK IT IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT NO PARTS HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT FOR THIS RECALL NOR HAVE BEEN MADE. THEY TOLD.US TO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT EVEN THOUGH ITS ASKING G FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR AND WAS DENIED AND WAS TOLD I CAN TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER BUT THEY SAID THE SAME THING.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 21, 2019

THE VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE TRYING TO START , THE VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING AND FUEL WHILE DRIVING AND WILL PREFORM A JERKING MOTION AS I CONTINUE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TRYING TO GET SOME FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY.THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM RELAY , I HAVE DONE RESEARCH OVER A DOZEN TIME TALKED TO CERTIFIED VEHICLE MEN AND IT IS A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S.

MY VEHICLE HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. RECENTLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE FOR WHATEVER REASON SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUSH THE IGNITION BUTTON TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT RUNS FINE. IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN JUST SHUT IT'S OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION AND THERE IS NO RECALL. HOWEVER; THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE VIA THE INTERNET THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EVENT. I THINK FODGE SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. FUEL RELATED..ELECTRICAL?? LOTS OF QUESTIONS, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!! SCARED FOR MY SAFETY!!

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR EXIT THE ROAD VIA OFF RAMP OR TURN, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL CAUSING BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY. IT ALWAYS APPEARS TO BE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT A ROAD OR TAKE A TURN. I HAVE TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPS AND PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO START IT AGAIN. IT WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD. WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. NO POWER. NO POWER STEERING. MANAGED TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER AND RESTART. WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE PROPER MONTH FOR THIS RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 11, 2018
THE LAST RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS THE P54 FUEL RELAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHERE IN THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE REASON I SUSPECT THIS IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS LOTS OF INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, POWER LOCKS OPEN ON THEIR OWN, VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING AT TIMES AND THEN STARTS RIGHT UP MOST OF THE TIME, AND ALL WITHOUT A WARNING OR ERROR CODE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY THIS MORNING AS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, AGAIN NO ERROR CODES OR WARNINGS. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPENED BECAUSE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE CAN TURN OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND WITHOUT WARNING.

MY VEHICLE PUSH TO START SYSTEM STICKS AND THE VEHICLE TAKES LONG ATTEMPTING TO START. MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING HAS GONE DEAD ON ME ALTHOUGH THE DASH IS STILL LITE RADIO PLAYING. THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS AND THE BRAKES GET HARD. I HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP IN ORDER TO PLACE THE CAR BACK IN NEUTRAL OR PARK IN ORDER TO START IT AGAIN. IT HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT, WHILE MAKING A TURN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF OTHER CARS, CURBS, AND DITCHES. I USE THIS CAR EVERY DAY TO TRANSPORT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES, HAVE HAD THE TIPM BYPASS AND THE CAR STILL HARD STARTS AND STALLS DESPITE THE RECALLS. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SITUATION THAT IS A DEFINITE HAZARD. MOST RECENT COMPLAINT, MY CAR HAS BE IDLING HIGH AND NOW FINALLY IT OVERHEAT AND THE WATER PUMP HAS TO BE REPLACED. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED.

ON AN INTERMITTENT, BUT REGULAR BASIS, THE VEHICLE (2011 DODGE DURANGO) STALLS WHEN SLOWING INTO A TURN OR APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT. ONCE THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND EVEN OBJECTS (CURBS, LIGHT POLES, ETC.) I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS AND AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AS WELL AS MY OWN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM (ARRIGO DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP RAM) IN WEST PALM BEACH FL. EIGHT (8) TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED VARIOUS PARTS, AND EVEN BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ONCE, HOWEVER, EVERY TIME WE GET THE VEHICLE BACK, WITHIN A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS IT STALLS AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, INCLUDING ONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITHIN THE TIPM-7 AND ONE FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, BOTH OF WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I HAVE INCLUDED AS MANY OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE REPORTS AS THE UPLOAD WILL ALLOW. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT ONE POINT, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY ANSWERS AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
