OK, SO WHILE I'M DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY GO TO GET OFF MY EXIT LIKE ALWAYS MY TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM. I TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THEN I READ ABOUT A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR AND THE PROBLEM IT IS CAUSING WHICH SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AT THE MOMENT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AND GET REAR ENDED. SO I PRAY THAT YOU GUYS CAN COME UP WITH THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR MY TRUCK. HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT KILLS ME AND MY FAMILY, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY SITUATION

THE REAR LIFT GATE CLOSES WITHOUT WARNING RAPIDLY AND WITH GREAT FORCE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE STRUTS ARE BAD. I WAS ALSO TOLD I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUMMER. I DO NOT THINK IT IS EVER ACCEPTABLE THAT THUS OCCURS. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS US UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY SINCE I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRENCE.

USING THE PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, WITH THE ENGINE OFF, THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED, AND THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR SET TO P(ARK). WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON START IS PRESSED TWICE, THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO START UP, AND STARTED TO MOVE ON IT'S OWN. THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. BLUE WATER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FORT GRATIOT, MI HAS VERIFIED THIS TO BE HAPPENING AND REPRODUCIBLE.

SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 2018, MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE INTERMITTENT AND ANNOYING 'DING' TO SIGNAL AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE WHEN I PARKED IT THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON. LIGHT WILL PERIODICALLY GO OUT BRIEFLY AND THEN COME BACK ON WITH THE 'DING.' I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS LIGHT COMING ON. PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS 'TAKEN CARE OF' WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL WORK.

WE HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS STARTER ISSUE FOR ALMOST AS LONG AS WE HAVE HAD IT. IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING BUT WONT TURN OVER. WE HAVE TO POP OUT THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND MANUALLY TURN THE CAR OFF FOR IT TO STOP. IT DOES THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE STARTING. FINALLY AFTER 4 OR 5 VISITS FOR THE ISSUE, DODGE SAYS ITS SOME FUEL PUMP RELAY SO THEY FIXED THAT, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED ONE DAY WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, AND IT STOPPED TURNING ON. WE LOST ALL POWER, NO POWER STEERING, AND EVERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS HAPPENED AS WE WERE EXITING THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY... LUCKILY WE WERE EXITING! WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURRED IN NOV/DEC 2017. OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 4-6 WEEKS, THEY REPLACED THE PCM AND CAT CONVERTER (BOTH) AND ALTERNATOR. NOW 4.5 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED WITH STARTER CONSTANTLY TURNING OVER, ITS HAPPENED 2 DAYS IN A ROW NOW. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL DAILY 20 MILES EACH WAY DOWN THE I30 CORRIDOR IN THE DFW AREA . WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL JUST STALL GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY. ALL SIGNS POINT TO A TIPM PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE.

2012 DURANGO SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIRBAGS) LIGHT STUCK ON. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS, WHILE DODGE SAYS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED IMMEDIATELY UPON THE LIGHT COMING ON, WHAT HAPPENS IF IMMEDIATE SERVICING IS NOT POSSIBLE? ARE THE BAGS GOING TO DEPLOY AT ANY TIME? WILL THEY NOT DEPLOY WHEN THEY SHOULD? AS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE, IS ONE BAG MORE AFFECTED THAN ANOTHER? HELP NHTSA! AIRBAG SYSTEMS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FAIL IN ANY WAY. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! THE OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SITE SOUND HORRIFYING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM!

THE CHECK ENGINE BULB IS FUNCTIONAL (LIGHTS UP INITIALLY WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE), BUT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS AN ENGINE CODE REPORTED. I'VE ENCOUNTERED 2 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, USUALLY ON HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS, RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS MALFUNCTIONING, DISENGAGING AT RANDOM TIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, AGAIN RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AN ENGINE CODE READ REPORTS ERROR P0572, WHICH INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THERE IS STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

WE HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK, AND WE DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WAS A BIG DEAL MAYBE A BROKEN SEAL. I NOTICED THE LEAK WHEN I USED MY REMOTE START IN THE MORNING.TURNS OUT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPED AND BROKE BOLTS! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HADN'T BEEN LOOKED INTO. I LOOKED AT OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNER SITES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL.
