I BOUGHT MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO 3 WEEKS AND IT IS NOT STARTING PROPERLY. I USED THE KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY AND STARTER BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START OR SOUNDS LIKE THE STARTER IS STUCK. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRY AGAIN. IT WILL NORMALLY TAKE 4-5 TRIES JUST TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND IT DEPENDS IF IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AND NOTICED MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

MOST TIMES WHEN I GO TO START THE TRUCK IT WILL NOT START. IF IT DOES START IT DIES IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I TRY TO START IT AGAIN, THE STARTER SEEMS TO GET STUCK, SO I TURN THE KEY OFF AND HAVE TO TRY IT AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT WILL START AND RUN NORMAL. JUST THIS MORNING, I WENT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAD NO POWER. ONCE I HOOKED UP THE JUMPER CABLES I COULD HEAR A HUMMING NOISE, WHICH I ASSUME WOULD BE THE FUEL PUMP, AS I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT IT NOT TURNING OFF DUE TO THE TIPM. AFTER I STARTED IT AND LET IT RUN FOR A WHILE I SHUT IT OFF AND COULD STILL HERE THE FUEL PUMP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE SO THAT MY BATTERY WILL NOT DIE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART. I JUST GOT THIS TRUCK A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD THE STARTING PROBLEM SINCE I'VE GOT IT. NOW I GOT THIS FUEL PUMP ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND, AT THIS POINT, HAS CHOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. *TR
Electrical system, Service brakes, Jan 2, 2015
THIS VEHICLE HAS 2 RECALLS ON IT. THE FIRST IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AFTER CALLING THE DEALER IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. IT WAS FIXED DEC 29, 2014. IN DEC OF 2014, WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ALTERNATOR, AND WERE TOLD PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. ON DECEMBER 20TH, 2014, WE WERE LEAVING ON A FAMILY VACATION, LOADED AND READY TO GO WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND WOULD NOT START. THE DEALER PICKED UP THE VEHICLE WHILE I LOADED MY FAMILY IN 2 DIFFERENT TRUCKS TO MAKE A 90 MILE DRIVE TO THE CRUISE TERMINAL WHERE WE PAID $55 TO PARK EACH TRUCK. I CAME BACK SUNDAY THE 28TH OF FEBRUARY AND THEY HAD NOT REPAIRED THE CAR, STATING THEY WANTED $90 LABOR TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND $275 FOR A NEW BATTERY, WHICH WAS DAMAGED BY THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER HOURS OF CALLING, CHRYSLER FINALLY APPROVED A NEW BATTERY, BUT THE OLD ONE WAS PUT BACK IN AND CHARGED. DUE TO BEING OUT OF THE COUNTRY, I HAD TO USE E-MAIL TO MY MECHANIC TO GET THINGS AUTHORIZED. WE DID NOT GET A RENTAL FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK AND MY MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS LEFT HOME WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR THE WEEK(CHRISTMAS WEEK). THE ALTERNATOR THAT WAS PUT ON THE CAR IS STILL UNDER RECALL AND COULD FAIL AGAIN AND WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR AT A LATER DATE. THE NEW ALTERNATOR IS STARTING TO MAKE A HUMMING NOISE LIKE THE LAST ONE AND NEITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DEALER WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS STILL WORKING. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED DUE TO THE WARNING OF THE CAR DYING OR CATCHING FIRE AND HAVING OUR 3 YEAR OLD WITH HER IF IT HAPPENS. THE TRADE IN VALUE IS DOWN DUE TO SO MANY BEING TRADED IN AND I WILL BE LEFT $10000 UPSIDE DOWN ON THE VEHICLE. I ASKED FOR A RENTAL UNTIL IT IS FIXED CORRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN. *TR

AT ABOUT 54K/56K MILES THE AIRBAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF. WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED THEY DID NOT REPORT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF AIR IS SYSTEM BUT THAT WAS COVERED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEN THE CAR WOULD MAKE SUDDEN JUMPS FOR NO REASON, AIRBAG AND ENGINE AND BRAKELIGHTS REPEADEDLY CAME ON AND OFF. WHILE ATTENDING MY NEPHEW FUNERAL I GOT IT CHECKED SINCE I WOULD BE ON THE ROAD FOR NO LESS THAN 4 HRS. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A BREAK RECALL ONCE I GOT THAT FIXED (16 DEC) THE DASH WAS FLASHING EVERYTHING AIRBAGS, BRAKES, ENGINE. ONCE I PARKED THE CAR THE NEST DAY IT WOULD NOT COME ON. A JUMP DID NOT WORK. HAD IT TOWED AND TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM FOR A CAR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS OLD AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS ONLY PAYING FOR 2011 DURANGOS FOR THIS ISSUE. SO I AM PAYING IN LESS THAN A WEEK OVER $800 FOR AN ITEM CLEARLY THATS AN ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO AVOID NOT PAYING FACTORY DEFECTED EQUIPMENT. DISSAPPOINTED AS I ALWAYS BUY AMERICAN BUT CHYRSLER JUST LOST A CUSTOMER AND GAINED NEGATIVE ADVERTISEMENT. *JS

TRYING TO START VEHICLE AND WILL NOT START, WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT WILL WANT TO START AND GET STUCK IN A STARTING POSITION, BUT NOT START. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT AS SOON AS THE NEXT DAY, IT DID IT AGAIN. THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN AND LEAVE IT THERE FOR ANOTHER WEEK, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA VEHICLE AROUND TO USE TO GET TO WORK. CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD HAVE LOANER VEHICLES OR SOME KIND OF DEAL AT A RENTAL COMPANY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. PUTTING US OUT OF A VEHICLE IS JUST NOT RIGHT! I CALLED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTIFIED THEM THAT I WILL DROP OFF MY VEHICLE TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO MY DODGE UNTIL SOMETIME NEXT YEAR IN THE SECOND WEEK. NOT COOL!!! HE SAID THEY HAD OVER 195 VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME........WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT CHRYSLER/DODGE! (VEHICLE MILEAGE IS APPROX., PAPERWORK IN VEHICLE). *TR

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FIVE MONTHS FOR PARTS FOR DODGE MANUFACUTRER P14 RECALL. I HAD TO WAIT SIX MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ONE SHOCK ASORBER. DODGE RESPONCE WAS A "NEW PARTS HOLD" I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER (NYLE MAXWELL TAYLOR, TX) REGARDING THE P14 RECALL. I WAS TOLD I WAS #26 IN LINE TO RECIEVE THE PROPER REPAIR. SO I AM LEFT TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES DODGE SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR TO FINALLY ADDRESS SAFETY RECALLS. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT/SAFETY HAZARD. MOST RECENT RECALL IS P36. I GUESS MY VEHICLE HAS TO CATCH FIRE BEFORE THIS RECALL IS ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING WITH BOTH THE INSIDE PUSH BUTTON, AND THE REMOTE START. IT HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING TWICE, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY HOWEVER, IT LOST POWER, I STILL HAD CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS SHUTTING DOWN, THEN IT "POWERED" BACK UP, DURING WHICH THERE WAS ABOUT THREE SECONDS IN WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I SIMPLY LOST ALL CONTROL.I BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, POSSIBLY THE TPIM, ALTERNATOR, OR A COMBINATION OF ALL THREE. I AM TAKING VEHICLE IN MONDAY TO HAVE TWO RECALLS DONE FOR BRAKE BOOSTER, AND VANITY LIGHT WIRING ISSUE. AT THAT TIME THEY ARE GOING TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. *TR

FAILURE OF TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) ON 2012 DODGE DURANGO. STARTED WITH HARD STARTING (LONG TIME TO START ENGINE), THEN LED TO VEHICLE STARTING AND IMMEDIATELY SHUTTING OFF. FINALLY, WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS PULLING ONTO A 6 LANE ROADWAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHING. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS, YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF ALL POWER FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND (FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD) AIRBAGS. CHRYSLER HAS DONE A RECALL ON THE 2011 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, BUT NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THE 2012 MODELS AS WELL. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WEREN'T SURPRISED WHEN THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE TIPM, EXPLAINING TO ME THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. OF COURSE, THIS ALL HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, COSTING ME JUST OVER $1100.00 OUT OF POCKET. *TR

INITIALLY IN EARLY JULY, 2014 MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO DEVELOPED A COMPUTER FAILURE CAUSING THE BATTERY TO EVENTUALLY DRAIN, LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR ACCELERATE. REPAIR WAS MADE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER, MANFREDI DODGE, STATEN ISLAND N.Y , AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE BATTERY REPAIRED AND THE COMPUTER REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILURE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER AND THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPORTED FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE TIPM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. CONFERRAL WITH THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE TIPM SENSOR BE REPLACED RATHER THAN REPAIRED TO ASSURE LONGEVITY OF THE REPAIR AND OVERALL SATISFACTION. VEHICLE IS A LEMON! *TR
