ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND SMELT BURNING WIRES I LIFTED MY HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT BY THE ALTERNATOR. THEN I NOTICED THE MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I WOUND UP REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THE CAR STARTED AND ALL SEEMED FINE. LATER THAT DAY MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASH LIGHTS ALL STARTED TO COME ON AND GO OFF. I WENT TO THE STORE AND ON MY WAY HOME MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AND ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO LIGHT UP AGAIN AND THE RADIO WENT OFF AND CAME ON MY A/C WENT OFF AND ON. THEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY BRAKES FAILED. I ALMOST WRECKED. THANKFULLY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS CAR DEFINITELY HAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COME ACROSS A ROUGH SPOT THAT IS UNAVOIDABLE (WITH ALL THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADS) MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS ROCKING AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT RESEMBLES A FLAT TIRE. I HAVE TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY NOTICEABLE RATTLE/NOISE/VIBRATION UNDER THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES, BUT SO FAR NOTHING HAS HELPED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SUV SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE. OUR LATEST ISSUE IS THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT STAY OPEN AND IT JUST SLAMS SHUT AND OVER RIDES THE SAFETY FEATURE OF IF AN OBJECT OR PERSON IS IN THE WAY IT WOULD GO BACK OPEN. CURRENTLY AS IT IS IT WOULD CRUSH A PERSON, THE ISSUE MAKES IT SO WE CAN NOT EVEN USE OUR REAR HATCH. THERE WAS A NOTICE SENT OUT BY THE TSB ON FEB. 1, 2013 NUMBER 08-005-13 ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOW IT NEEDS A NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER A NUMBER OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR IT TO BE LOOKED AT. FIRST THAT IS SO NOT RIGHT AS IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO THEM AND THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SECOND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THIS SUV FROM IS 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME THEY REFUSE TO WORK OUR SUV AND WANT US TO DRIVE 80 PLUS MILES TO HAVE IT WORKED ON., THIS IS NOT RIGHT AS I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM WHY SHOULD I ENDURE THE TIME AND EXSPENSE OF FIXING AN ISSUE WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. WE ASK THAT YOU GUYS STEP IN AND MAKE THEM MAKE RIGHT BY THIS AND FIX THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS COMMON FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC I COULDN'T PULL TO THE SIDE. I GOT FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ALTERNATOR BUT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECENT RECALL SINCE I HAVE THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR. THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I WAS SHOCKED SINCE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR (WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) THAT CAUSED THE RECALL OF THE 160AMP ALTERNATORS. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING CONCERNING THIS. ONCE AGAIN THEY HAVE FAILED ME. CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING AN AVERAGE OF $1400 TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH NO RECALL OR WARRANTY. I HAVE 4 PICTURES OF MY SOOT COVERED ALTERNATOR ( I AM A FIREFIGHTER I KNOW WHAT ELECTRICAL SOOT LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE). THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO THINK I COULD LOSE MY DURANGO COULD CATCH FIRE, LOOSE POWER AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE MY WIFE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THIS.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
THE VERY FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM ABOUT 50MPH AT A CORNER IN ORDER TO TAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE 90 CORNER I FEEL THAT THE STEERING HAS STIFFENED. LOOKING DOWN, I SEE THAT THE TACHOMETER NOW READS 0, AND THE ENGINE HAS DIED. I CANNOT SIMPLY SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN RESTART IT BECAUSE OF THE CAR HAS A KEYLESS PUSHBUTTON AND THE START BUTTON ONLY WORKS WITH THE DRIVE IN PARK. I THEN HAVE TO ARMSTRONG IT THROUGH THE REST OF THE CORNER. AS I FINISH UP THE TURN TO WHERE I CAN SAFELY STOP AND RESTART, I THEN PUSH THE BRAKES ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY ARE NOW TOTALLY STIFF BECAUSE THERE IS NOW NO VACUUM LEFT TO ASSIST. I END UP COSTING TO A STOP. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES SINCE. IT IS ALWAYS IS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM ANYWHERE FROM 60 TO 30 MPH AND BEGINNING TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN WHEN DOING A LEFT, BUT THERE ARE NOT TO MANY CHANCES TO DUPLICATE THIS SCENARIO DOING A LEFT. WE HAD THE ONE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP DONE SO THAT SHOULD NOT BE IT. WE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO NUMEROUS DODGE DEALERS AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. ONE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT HE KNEW OF THE PROBLEM, KNEW THAT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS NOT FIXING IT AND THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE ANOTHER RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AS YOU ARE GOING 25 MPH IN A TRAFFIC ROUNDABOUT, IT IS ALL YOU CAN DO TO TRY TO STEER THROUGH THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE, ONLY TO FIND THAT YOUR POWER BRAKES ARE FAILED AS YOU TRY TO STOP TO RESTART. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED WITH THIS HAPPENING, EITHER THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR, OR THE PUBLIC. WE ALSO HAVE A 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT MORE BECAUSE IT IS DRIVEN MORE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I TRIED FOR 7 MONTHS TO GET THE BRAKE RECALL DONE ON MY TRUCK. THE AWD DID NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD DURING A SNOW STORM.. THEN THE RECALL WAS RECIEVED AND NONE OF THE DEALERS WANTED TO REPAIR THE RECALL. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THEY HADNT RECEIVED THE PARTS. THEN THERE WAS A FUEL TYPE RECALL, A RECALL THAT THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF AND SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.. AGAIN I COULDNT GET ANY OF THESE REPAIRED. THEN ON THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING 2014 MY HEAT WENT. ON FRIDAY 11/28/14 I TRIED 3 CHRYSLER DEALER SHIPS TO GET THE HEAT FIXED AND SCHEDULE TIME FOR THE RECALL. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST BECAUSE I DIDNT PURCHASE THE TRUCK FROM THEM. I ENDED UP TRADING IN THE TRUCK FOR A NISSAN PATHFINDER ON THAT DAY. AND ALMOST A MONTH LATER I RECEIVED A BILL FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP WHO HAD FINALLY COMPLETED THE RECALL WORK EXPECTING 165.00 FROM ME. I AM SO FINANCIALLY RUINED FROM THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INITIALLY THE SUV WAS VERY SLUGGISH TO START, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE TO WHERE THE SUV WOULDN'T EVEN START AT ALL AND WOULD CONSTANTLY TRY TO TURN OVER. THIS PROBLEM WOULD GET WORSE AND MAKE THE SUV TAKE ABOUT 3-4 TIME TO CRANK BEFORE IT WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN OVER. THIS PROBLEM WOULD CONTINUE FRO ABOUT A WEEK, EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY WENT DEAD CAUSING US TO HAVE TO JUMP THE CAR OFF. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY DUE TO THIS CONSTANT DRAIN YOU WOULD ALWAYS HERE THE FUEL PUMP TYRING TO PRIME IN THE REAR OF THE SUV NO MATTER WHAT. ONCE AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND DROPPED OFF THE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM HOWARD WILSON IN FLOWOOD MS STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS TOO WEAK FOR THEM TO EVEN WORK ON THE CAR (THIS IS WHEN THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED) CAUSING ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE DUE TO THE RECALL. I WAS ADVISED BY ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE DRAW FROM THE FUSE WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. I EVENTUALLY HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE AND WAS OUT OF POCKET OVER $800.00. THE LAST TIME THE SUV WAS IN THE SHOP THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HOPE THAT THIS FIXED IT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SURE IF IT WOULD OR NOT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE OR CHANGE IN MOVEMENT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE ABOUT EARLY 2012. I HAD A REPAIR DONE ON THE CAR BY THE DEALERSHIP AS PART OF MY WARRANTY NOW THESE PROBLEMS HAVE MADE A REAPPEARANCE. ALONG SIDE SUDDEN SPEED CHANGES WITHOUT ME TOUCHING ANYTHING, I HAVE HAD TWO PREVIOUS INCIDENTS OF THE CAR (WHILE DRIVING!) TURNING ON ALL ERROR INDICATORS (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, HIGH BEAM, HAZARD LIGHTS, TIRE PRESSURE ETC) AND WIPER BLADES SIMULTANEOUSLY. THESE WERE VERY SCARY INCIDENTS, TOO SCARED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I RETURNED TO MY HOUSE (WENT TO DROP MY SON OFF TO GET A HAIR CUT) AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE NEXT DAY. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FOB TECHNOLOGY IN THE KEYLESS START OF THE CAR WHERE I WOULD PUT MY PURSE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR, CLOSE THE DOOR AND ALL DOORS LOCK AND WILL NOT UNLOCK, THEN I HAVE TO ONCE AGAIN CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND WAIT FOR THEM TO ASSIST ME. ONE OF THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS CAR IS BECAUSE I WAS ASSURED KEYS LOCKED IN THE CAR WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME MORE THAN ALL MY OTHER CARS IN THE PAST. NOW I HAVE A SMALL CHILD WITH ME AND ALONG SIDE THESE RECENT REOCCURRENCE OF SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND BIG RECALL BY FCA, NO LONGER DO I FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING. IT WOULD TRY TO START AND NEVER TURN OVER AND WOULD TAKE ME SEVERAL TRIES TO FINALLY GET IT STARTED. I DISCOVERED ONLINE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THAT THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING OR EVEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK MY DODGE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL AND INFORMED ME THAT IN DOING SO THE VEHICLE NOW STARTED FINE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE TIPM WAS THE PROBLEM AND WAS NOW FIXED. I DROVE FOR TWO DAYS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. THEN LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME, WITH ALL MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RODE. MY LIGHTS AND DASH DISOLAY WERE STILL WORKING BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ON. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SWITCHED THE IGNITION BACK TO START MODE AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT. AFTER SEVERAL TRY'S OF IT ATTEMPTING TO START IT JUST WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I THEN TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS UNABLE TO EVEN DO THAT. MY VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WAY TO MOVE IT!!! AFTER 30 MINUTES AND SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY TURNED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES FROM MY HOME TO VISIT RELATIVES FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. TWO HOURS AFTER ARRIVING I WENT TO DRIVE MY DURANGO AND IT WOULDN'T START. WHEN PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON IT WOULD JUST MAKE A LOUD NOISE SIMILAR TO THE ALTERNATOR GOING OUT AND WOULDN'T START. MY DURANGO HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY SINCE THEY CLOSED EARLY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. DIAGNOSTICS WERE RAN AND IT WAS CONCLUDED THE FUEL PUMP WAS OUT. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN 1 YEAR FROM HAVING THE TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY REPAIRED ON 7/25/14, WHICH CHRYSLER LATER ISSUED A RECALL FOR. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THOSE REPAIRS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE IS A DIRECT CORRELATION TO THE FAULTY TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY CAUSING THE ACTUAL FUEL PUMP TO FAIL AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER. REPAIRS WERE IN EXCESS OF OVER 1K TO HAVE FIXED.
