WHILE DRIVING ON NO MORE THAN 65 MPH THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON, AND WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, AND ALL 4 TIMES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DON'T WORK. ONCE THE CAR HAS STOPPED AND GEAR PLACED INTO PARK I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR RESTARTS. ALL FOUR TIMES THE ENGINE IS THE ONLY THING THAT TURNS OFF, THE RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY.

THIS IS A PROBLEM IS ALOT OF DODGE VEHICLES WITH THE PENTASTAR ENGINES. THE VALVETRAIN IS A FLAWED DESIGN AND IS COSTING PEOPLE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. MY PROBLEM IS THE ROLLER ROCKER ARM IS WORN AND TICKING. NOT A BIG DEAL RIGHT? HOW ABOUT $1900+ PARTS AND LABOR? WE, LIKE MOST AMERICANS, LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND RELY ON OUR VEHICLES TO GET US TO AND FROM WORK. NOW, WHY DOES A VEHICLE, WITH JUST AT 100000 MILES, NEED NEW CAMSHAFTS, ROCKER ARMS, AND LIFTERS? WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE DODGE IS REFUSING TO RECALL ALL THESE UNITS DUE TO EXPENSE. WHAT ABOUT MY EXPENSE? WHY WOULD THEY BE ALLOWED TO NOT RECALL THIS DEFICIENT DESIGN? JUST WONDERING.
Engine, Apr 16, 2018
THE VEHICLE WILL START BUT WONT GO INTO GEAR. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND ON FOR IT TO FINALLY GO INTO GEAR. WORKED FINE THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT SEEMS TO RUN FINE.

WITHIN ABOUT THE LAST 6 WEEKS MY SUV HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS WHICH IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS & I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I HAVE CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM & THEY ARE DOING THE BARE MINIMUM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE!!!! KNOWING MY VEHICLE HAS ACTIVE RECALLS!!!

ON 12/24/2017 I STARTED MY DURANGO TO LET IT WARM UP BEFORE LEAVING MY HOUSE, REMOTE START WAS USED. IT WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE SO I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. AT THIS TIME I SAW SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD TO PUT WATER ON IT. I TOOK MY DURANGO ON 12/26/2017 TO DWAYNE LANE'S CHRYSLER AND JEEP AT 10515 EVERGREEN WAY, EVERETT, WA 98204. THEY SAID THIS IS RELATED TO RECALL T36 AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN FIX. I UNDERSTAND IF THE ALTERNATOR WAS STILL FINE THEY COULD DO NOTHING. HOWEVER SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY FAULTY AFTER RUNNING THEIR TESTS THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET NEARLY $1200 DOLLARS AND THEN GET REIMBURSED AFTER 90 DAYS. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WORKED WITH SOMEONE TO GET APPROVAL FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET PAID. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THIS APPROVED DUE TO MULTIPLE REASONS (MANAGERS ON VACATION/SYSTEM NOT SETUP TO DO SO). AT THIS POINT I WAS LOOKING AT EITHER NOT HAVING A VEHICLE OR MAKING THE $1200 PAYMENT. I CHECKED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE, AND COULD GET IT COVERED. MY CALLS TO DODGE MUST HAVE WORKED BECAUSE THE FIRST DEALERSHIP GOT APPROVAL TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER ALTERNATOR THAT MIND YOU MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I PICKED UP MY DURANGO 12/27 AND AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE IT TO THE NEW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID YES SOME BATTERIES HAVE DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATORS. THEY SAID DODGE IS NOT COVERING THIS SO $200 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. AFTER DRIVING MY DURANGO IT NOW HAS THE BATTERY LIGHT ON AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE PCM MODULE THAT HAS GONE OUT AND THIS MAY NOT BE COVERED AS WELL. CURRENTLY IT IS 12/29 AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY DURANGO.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR DURANGO WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. SHE HAD TO MUSCLE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE SHE ATTEMPTED NUMEROUS TIMES TO RESTART IT. PRIOR TO THAT, OFTEN TIMES YOU WOULD TURN THE KEY AND THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD DO NOTHING...NOT EVEN TURN OVER. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPS, IT WOULD START. AFTER THE STALL, WE BROUGHT IT INTO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER (DUTCHESS DODGE) WHERE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT IT FOR A FEW DAYS, SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE OUR CONCERNS, CLEANED NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, CHARGED US $500 AND RECOMMENDED WE CHANGE A "WIN" MODULE AT ABOUT $800 PLUS LABOR BUT COULD NOT GUARNATEE THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE PERSON EVEN ADMITTED IT COULD BE THE TIPM BUT THAT THEY COULDN'T BE SURE AND THE FIX OF THE WIN MODULE WAS THE FIRST RECOMMEDATION. HE ALSO ADDED THAT SOME COMPONENTS IN THE TIPM WERE LOOSE AND THAT THEY CHECKED AND CLEANED THEM ALSO AND THAT FOR ALL THEY KNOW IT COULD HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. I INFORMED THEM THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO THROW MONEY INTO "TRIAL AND ERROR" FIXES AND TO JUST BUTTON IT UP AND GIVE IT BACK TO US. A WEEK LATER, IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME, AS SHE WAS PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IT RE-STARTED ON IT'S OWN. WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BACK AND THEIR REPLY WAS THAT THEY RECOMMENDED CHANGING THE WIN MODULE. THIS VEHILCLE HAS 62000 MILES AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY ME AND CARED FOR LIKE A BABY. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF USE OR ABUSE, IT IS FAULTY PARTS AND WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD JUST TRADE THIS IN AND AFTER OF LIFETIME OF BEING A LOYAL MOPAR CUSTOMER, GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

TAKATA RECALL FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN STARTING THE 2013 DODGE DARANGO V 8 HEMI IT WOULD JUST CONTINUOUSLY TURN OVER LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT MAKES IT UNRELIABLE WHEN ITS YOUR WIFE AND KIDS USING THE CAR AND WHAT MAKES IT A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION IS THAT THE CAR HAS ALSO STALLED FROM TIME TO TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES NOW WE HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM VERY FRUSTRATING

WHEN I USE THE KEY LESS REMOTE TO START THE CAR FROM OUTSIDE MY CAR IT IDEALS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR LESS THEN TURNS OFF. I TRY IT AGAIN THE HORN BEEPS ONCE THEN DOESN'T START. THE RADIO SETTINGS RESET ON IT'S OWN WHICH HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONSOLE/INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING CHANGES FROM BRIGHT TO DIM WHEN IT'S STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE. ONE OF THE ENGINE FANS TURNS ON/OFF MORE THAN NORMAL AND IT'S LOUDER THEN IT BEEN IN THE PAST. I AM NOTICING A TICKING NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED BUT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE. LASTLY, WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL THE POWER LAGS MEANING YOU CAN LITERALLY FLOOR THE PEDAL AND IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET UP TO SPEED. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIKE ONCE AGAIN CAME ON THIS MORNING.

VEHICLE ALTERNATOR STARTED TO SMOKE AND CATCH ON FIRE, AFTER SHORTING ITSELF OUT. VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD THEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I REPORTED IT TO DODGE WHO ADVISED IT WAS ON RECALL (T36). CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TO REPORT. THEY SET UP A TOW AND ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE WITH CURRENT MODEL ALTERNATOR AND IF NEEDED THE PCM AND BATTERY. DEALERSHIP NOW STATING CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER PCM OR BATTERY. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WONT RUN WITH A NEW ALTERNATOR . CHRYSLER CARE MADE NOTES WHEN I FIRST TALKED WITH THEM ON THIS CASE # 32398928 FROM CUSTOMER CARE. NOW THEY WILL NOT ADMIDT THAT THEY AUTHORIZED REPAIR OF ALTORNATOR, PCM , AND BATTERY.

MY WIFE ALONG WITH OUR 4 CHILDREN WERE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN OUR DODGE DURANGO LOST ALL POWER. ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IF NOT FOR MY WIFE BEING A SAFE DRIVER GOD KNOWS WHAT COULD'VE BECOME OF MY FAMILY. CAR WON'T TURN ON SAYS THERE IS NO KEY PRESENT. WIPERS COME ON AND OFF, AC BLOWS HOT AIR, DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF. IT'S VERY UPSETTING WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE BUYING A QUALITY VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE IT TURN OUT LIKE IT DID. MY WIFE HAS EXPRESSED THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS SHE IS SCARED SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.

CAR HAS STALLED TWICE AND WILL NOT START. FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED SATURDAY 22 JULY 17 AND THE SECOND INCIDENT WEDNESDAY 2 AUG 17. SEEMS AS IT TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT TURN ON. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TRYING TO TURN ON. WHEN IT FINALLY DID I, I COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND THE BRAKE SEEMED TO BE LOCKED. I TRIED TURNING OF VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN OFF AND I WAITED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED ON YET AND NO MESSAGES HAVE CAME UP SAYING THERE ARE ANY ISSUES. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. FIRST TIME IT HAD BEEN OFF FOR AN HOUR, SECOND TIME IT HAD BEEN OFF FOR FOUR HOURS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD RECALLS BEFORE SO I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL. THERE IS ONE DATED 10 JULY 17, IN WHICH IT IS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM.

ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR WE BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT TIME STATUS THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT FAIL TO START OR START AND RUN A FEW SECONDS AND THEN STOP. WE FOUND THAT IF YOU HOLD THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DOWN WHILE CRANKING THE ENGINE IT STARTS, SIMILAR TO THE DAYS WHEN YOU HAD A CARBURETATED ENGINE AND IT WAS FLOODED. SINCE THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF THERE IS ON ERROR CODE GENERATED SO THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAD REQUESTED THE DETAILS OF WHAT MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE FOR THE RECALL BUT THE DEALER HAS NOT PROVIDED ME WITH THE INFORMATION.SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED WE FEEL IT IS A RESULT OF WHAT WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE.
