FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE STALLS AFTER STARTING THEN CONTINUOUSLY TURNS OVER UNTIL I PUSH THE IGNITION BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE APRIL OF 2018. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS WITH NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED ON THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH(WHICH WAS FIXED A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.) AND AGAIN NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND QUITE EMBARRASSING WHEN I AM TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE. HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STALLING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ALL POWER CUTS OUT. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. STILL AT DEALERSHIP 3 MONTHS LATER FOR A RECALL AND NO PIECE AVAILABLE YET ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. FUEL PUMP RELAY. NO ESTIMATED DATE FOR REPLACEMENT. BEYOND UPSET. I WANT MY VEHICLE BACK . CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET A REMEDY AND FAST FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND PEOPLE NEED THEIR OWN VEHICLES. NOT A RENTAL IT SHOULDN'T TAKE THIS LONG. THEY SHOULD HAVE A PIECE MADE OR AT LEAST AN ESTIMATED TIME WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT FOR CUSTOMERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO HAS LOST ALL POWER WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT. TODAY IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR STOPS RUNNING AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS GONE, MY DASH IS BLANK. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TODAY. I PULLED OUT ON A BUSY STREET AND LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE TURN LANE AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IT IS VERY SCARY EACH TIME IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING!!! THIS ISSUE MUST BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE! I AM AFRAID AND WON'T DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS ENGINE FAILURE HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THIS SOUNDS LIKE MANUFACTURER RECALL # V62, NHTSA RECALL # 19V-813 WITH THE STALL CONDITION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ENGINE
DURING SUMMER 2017, 5.7L HEMI STARTED TO MAKE A NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE AT 70,000 MILES ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. IN SEPT 2017 AT 72,000 THE ENGINE FAILED WITH A GRINDED CAMSHAFT DUE TO A ROLLER/LIFTER FAILURE. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY BY SPECIALTY HEMI ENGIEN SHOP PRO ENGINES LLC IN ELON, NC. TODAY, I AM REALIZING THAT THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I HAVE FOUND MANY TESTIMONIES ONLINE AND IN PERSON OF 5.7L HEMI OWNERS HAVING EXPERIENCED SIMILAR DRAMATIC AND COSTLY FAILURES OF THEIR ENGINE CAMSHAFT DUE ROLLER / LIFTER FAILURE AS EXPLAINED CLEARLY FOR EXAMPLE IN THESE VIDEOS: HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=INPUZ3PCHA0), HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LG5QX9QOJGO) OR HERE (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=_2CX11TUTIC) LUCKILY THIS ENGINE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE INJURY AS IT FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, BUT I CONCUR THAT IT COULD HAVE IF THE FAILURE AT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND I THINK THAT DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS TRYING TO HIDE IT I CONCUR THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD CORRECT AND FIX UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AS REPLACING THE ENGINE WAS VERY EXPANSIVE AND IS TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS FOR A LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD AND 72,000 MILES PERFECTLY MAINTAINED TRUCK. I WISH THAT NHTSA RECEIVES ENOUGH COMPLAINS TO BOLSTER CONSUMERS IN RECEIVING TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL HELP FROM THE MANUACTURER BEST, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC
