UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were sitting in the driveway, getting ready to go, and all of the sudden the passenger side airbag exploded open, without any warning hitting my passenger in the head. There was no warning at all, it just deployed. Apparently this happens quite a lot and now I am concerned about the driver's side doing it.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
We received notice, by mail, of a safety recall (19V-813) on our Dodge Durango in Jan 2021. We made an appt for 1/13 at Bob Baker Dodge in Carlsbad, CA. Upon arrival, we were told the part was backordered and they would call us when it arrived. Juan Gonzalez was the service advisor we spoke with. In May, after no call, our vehicle began showing signs of the problem. Hesitating, failing to start. We called Juan who stated there were still no parts and he wasn't allowed to keep a list of customers waiting for parts since it would be too extensive. We called Dodge (maybe Mopar) corporate (800-853-1403) on 6/1. Aby gave us a few other dealers to try. After no luck with them, we called back. Tim claimed he would escalate our case and promised someone would call us within 24 hours. After receiving no call, we called again on 6/3. Pam said that our case was never escalated. And had no solution for us. Given the safety recall states "A vehicle stall while driving can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning" we've now rented a car since we're not comfortable driving our Durango. I feel both Dodge/Mopar and our local dealer are simply dragging their feet on this safety recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON AUGUST 22, 2020 WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM A RESTAURANT MY CAR COMPONENTS NOTIFIED ME OF A BATTERY ISSUE WITH THE RED LIGHT ON. I THEN KEPT DRIVING TO PARK THE CAR AND WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IT STARTED TO STALL UNUSUALLY BUT THE ENGINE CAR DID NOT STOP COMPLETELY. THEN THERE WAS HEAT COMING IN FROM THE AIR CONDITION VENTS WITH A RUBBERY SMELL THEN I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I DID NOT WANT TO OPEN THE HOOD BECAUSE THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. I WAS AFRAID OPENING THE HOOD MIGHT HAVE CAUSED A FIRE FEEDING OXYGEN TO THE ENGINE. I CALLED USAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDED ME WITH A WRECKER WITH ASSUMED NAME SALLY'S TOWING SERVICE. THE WRECKER WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START THE CAR AND MOVIE IT NEUTRALLY. HE HAD TO FORCIBLY PULL THE CAR WITH THE TIRES LOCKED ONTO THE FLAT BED. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AT USA MOTORS. OUR MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND FOUND A RARE OCCURRENCE IN WHICH THE ALTERNATOR WAS OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY CAUSING THE BATTERY AND THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE TO MELT THUS CAUSING THE SMOKE AND FOUL ODOR AND THE CAR LEFT WITH NO POWER OR CONTROL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY REPLACED IN 2015, AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF SMALL PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVER THE YEARS. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED 80,000 MILES THIS YEAR ALL KINDS OF THINGS STARTED HAPPENING. THE COOLING SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE AND MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE HESITATING TO START LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL, AND HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING SO I CANNOT PULL OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC UNLESS THERE IS A GOOD BREAK WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS HAVING A HEMI V8 ENGINE! I'VE BEEN TOWED TWICE THIS YEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL BUT THEN IT ENDED UP STARTING WHEN IT GOT TO MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP OR THE DEALER. I WAS NOT ONLY EMBARRASSED BUT WASTED TIME AND MONEY. MY MECHANIC DID A LOT OF DIAGNOSTICS AND RULED OUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL SO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO APPLY THE FIX. THEY HASSLED ME AND SAID THEY 'CAN NOT TRUST YOUR MECHANICS' AND MADE ME PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE RECALL. THEY ENDED UP FINDING ANOTHER PROBLEM BASICALLY TELLING ME MY MECHANICS WERE WRONG AND CHARGED ME OVER $800 FOR A NEW PCM. THEY DID INSTALL A NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY AT MY INSISTENCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE ORIGINAL PART AND NOT A FIXED PART. IT RESOLVED THE STARTING ISSUE AND I STOPPED GETTING ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T ACCELERATE OR HANDLE PROPERLY AND NOT EVEN FOUR MONTHS LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN! THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS OBVIOUSLY FAILING AGAIN AND I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE PCM HAD A PROBLEM IF I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME ISSUES. COULD IT BE THE TIPM I KEEP READING ABOUT? THE DEALER DIDN'T MENTION THAT. I'M AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE STRANDED WITH CHILDREN OR WORSE THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC!! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISK! (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS
