THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL ON DODGE DURANGO FUEL PUMP RELAY. SINCE THIS RECALL HAS STILL NOT BEEN OPENED TO BE FIXED, I AM AT THE POINT WHERE MY VEHICLE IS NOT STARTING BECAUSE OF IT. IF IT DOES START I AM WORRIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF IT CAUSING VEHICLE TO STOP WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THIS TIME OF COVID, I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE RECALL. IS THERE ANY UPDATE ON WHEN THIS CAN BE FIXED? I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS STILL NOT APPROVED. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AGO AND NOW IS GETTING WORSE. CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL YESTERDAY. I HAVE SCANNED AND CHECKED EVERYTHING WITH MECHANIC. HE SAYS IT IS RECALL ITEM HE BELIEVES.

MY CAR IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE CARS IN AN OPEN RECALL WITH DODGE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACED LAST WEEK 8/10/2020 SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN MAYBE 4 TIMES. THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR THE LAST FOUR DAYS IN MY GARAGE I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TODAY AND IT STALLED AFTER 15 MINUTES WHILE I WAS DRIVING THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT. I ATTEMPTED TO PUT A NEW RELAY ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WOULD ASSUME THE WIRING HARNESS COOLED ENOUGH I COULD GET THE CAR STARTED AND THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY 2 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT A DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 10 AND TWICE IN ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT HELPING AND IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE AT A LOSE FOR WHAT TO DO SINCE DODGE IS NOT GIVING THEM ANY DIRECTION. THE CAR IS NOT RELIABLE NOR DEPENDABLE AND CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY TO FIX THE RECALL THAT DID NOT WORK. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME ASSISTANCE I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH A DODGE VEHICLE FROM THIS RECALL THAT IS NOT HAVE ISSUES!

MY DURANGO HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND REPLACED AND TWO NEW RELAYS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE LAST RELAY LASTED TWO MONTHS AND FAILED COMPLETELY YESTERDAY. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH NO TIMELINE FOR A FIX. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH YESTERDAY TO GET THE CAR TO A PARKING SPACE INSTEAD OF PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD BEFORE IT DIED.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO, USED, WITH APPROXIMATELY 75K MILES. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I'VE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS THAT BEGAN WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR GOES INTO "LOW GEAR" EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T TURN THE KNOB. OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT FOR THE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN IN PUBLIC. MY KEY FOB HASN'T WORKED EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY INSIDE. THE CAR HAS SET THE ALARM OFF EVEN WHEN UNPROMPTED. IT WILL LOCK/UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING.THE CAR HAS STALLED, WHILE DRIVING, AT LEAST 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2019. FOR EACH OCCURRENCE, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING/EXCELLING WITH A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK OVER AND A RED LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH. THE LOCK ISSUE BEGAN HAPPENING AGAIN AND I COULD NOT GET IT STARTED. IT HAD BEEN STATIONARY. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE VEHICLE LATER, IT WORKED FINE WITH NO RED LIGHT. THE MECHANICS NOTICED THE TEMPERAMENTAL PROBLEMS BUT COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO CONSISTENTLY REPEAT THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. AT THIS MOMENT, IT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK FOR THE DRIVER'S SPOT ONLY.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. EITHER RIGHT AFTER START UP OR WHILE DRIVING. IN ALL CASES I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 20 AMP FUSE THAT WAS INSTALLED FOR RECALL R09 FROM 2015 IS MELTING AND CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP RELAY TO FAIL WHICH IS CAUSING THE STALL CONDITION. THE FUSE IS EASILY REPLACED BUT THE STALLING IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. DODGE SAYS THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS AND THERE ARE NO PARTS TO JUST REPLACE THE CURRENT SET UP. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH THIS ISSUE UNTIL DODGE FIGURES OUT WHAT IS WRONG. EACH INSTANCE OF STALLING HAS OCCURED AT 25 MPH OR LESS BUT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AT A HIGHER SPEED.
