2012 Dodge Durango Driver assistance Problems

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the check engine warning light illuminated. Approximately three weeks later, while stopped at a light, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. The gear shifter was shifted to park(P) to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the timing chain was blown. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was subsequently taken to an independent mechanic on several occasions, where it was diagnosed and determined that there were failures with Oxygen sensors, head gaskets, oil pan, oil pump, B2S1 heater, that the intake manifold was cracked, there was cylinder #2 misfire, and the circuit harness needed to be repaired, and DTC: P0300 was retrieved. The vehicle was repaired each time, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 190,000.

I purchased my 2012 Dodge Durango two years ago and it has been one of the most stressful issues I have ever hadz. Two days after purchasing it all the lights lit up my dash board the head lights wouldn’t go on the heater or air wouldn’t work and my windows in front would not roll down. This usually happens when I start it in the morning but it also will happen when I’m driving I almost got into a accident on the HWY at 530 in the morning coming to work when my head light just shut off. It has been back to the deal shop I bought it 3 dodge dealer ships and my personal mechanic and they can not find out what the issue is. Over the past two years it has been in the shop bout 10-15 times It has been parked more than I have been able to drive it. I am in a loan I can not get out of.

THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE. IT RANDOMLY CUTS OFF SHUTOUT WARNING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY ADVISED THERE WAS A RECALL THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL OUT AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY COMPLETED THE WORK AND WE LEFT. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE CAR IS STILL RANDOMLY CUTTING OFF. IT CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING OR AT COMPLETE STOP. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR STALL AND LOCKED UP SO I COULDN'T TURN TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING. THANKFULLY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO A LOW TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING Q CURB AND GOING INTO A DITCH. AFTER THE CAR STALLS IBHVE TO OUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY OFF AND CRANK THE CAR BACK UP AND IT STARTS TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM IS IBHAVE NO CLUE WHEN ITS GOING TO DON'T AGAIN AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES SINCE GETTING THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH FOR IT NOT TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WOULD PROBABLY DUE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN A HIGHWAY. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY 5/3/2021.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I'VE BEEN TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO SERVICE FOR DIFFERENT SERVICE ISSUES. THE MOST RECENT ONE IS THE DASH AND WHIPERS STARTED GOING CRAZY, A SUDDEN SMELL OF BURNT WIRES/ELECTRIC BURN. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE GEAR SHIFTER DIDN'T WANT TO ENGAGE. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE STARTING KEY. THE VEHICLE GOT TOWED TO THE DEELSRSHIP AND AFTER TWO DAYS THEY CALLED ME BACK SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THEREFOR THE CAN'T MAKE A DIAGNOSIS. THEY WILL HAVE TO CHECK EACH WIRE ONE BY ONE ABD THAT CHECK UP IS GOING TO COST 4 HOURS OF WORK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400 BEFORE THEY CAN RUN A DIAGNOSIS.

THE CHECK ENGINE BULB IS FUNCTIONAL (LIGHTS UP INITIALLY WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE), BUT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS AN ENGINE CODE REPORTED. I'VE ENCOUNTERED 2 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE CAR OCCASIONALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, USUALLY ON HIGHWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS, RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS MALFUNCTIONING, DISENGAGING AT RANDOM TIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, AGAIN RISKING A REAR END COLLISION. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, AND THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AN ENGINE CODE READ REPORTS ERROR P0572, WHICH INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THERE IS STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

T38 RECALL: I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO PRESTIGE CHRYSLER DODGE, LAS VEGAS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF POWER AND STALLING WHILE TURNING AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE T38 RECALL. YESTERDAY I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE LOST POWER DURING A TURN OFF THE INTERSTATE. THEY HAVE HOWEVER, CHARGED ME FOR OTHER ISSUES LIKE AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR (SEE ATTACHED) THAT HAS NOT FIXED MY LOSS OF POWER. I CALLED FCA RECALL AND THEY HAVE SENT ME TO AN ALTERNATIVE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR. PRESTIGE CHRYSLER DODGE OF LAS VEGAS IS REFUSING TO FIX KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED MY ALTERNATOR AND KNEW IT WAS FAULTY, YET COULD NOT REPAIR IT WITHOUT THE RECALL PARTS. THEIR DEALERSHIP IS PLACING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO THE TEMPORARY FIX AND THEN HAVE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL AGAIN WHEN THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATORS ARE ISSUED. THIS IS UNETHICAL, IRRESPONSIBLE, AND NEGLIGENT. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY--THEY HAVE HAD MY DURANGO 3 TIMES, KNOWN ABOUT THE STALL AND REFUSED TO ASSIST ME. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ASKED TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH THAT--THEY REFUSED AGAIN SAYING THE WARRANTY WOULDN'T TOUCH A KNOWN DEFECT. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE THIS DEALERSHIP PLACES ANOTHER FAMILY IN DANGER FOR REFUSING TO COMPLY WITH NHTSA SAFETY REGULATIONS.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE THE PAST TWO MONTHS - STALLING, JUMPING, TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS ON ITS OWN, SHUTTING OFF AT STOPS, HARD TO MAKE A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO DIFFERENT SPEED LIMITS. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND HAVE NOT HEARD OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

MY DODGE DURANGO STOPPED WORKING ONE WEEK AGO. AT THAT TIME I LOOKED ONLINE TO FIND THE ALTERNATOR RECALL BUT THAT THEY WOULD BE NOTIFYING PEOPLE AT A LATER DATE. FOR A WEEK THEY HAD MY CAR AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR KNOWING DODGE HAD BAD ALTERNATORS AND MADE ME PURCHASE A BATTERY. MY CAR AGAIN DIED THE SAME DAY AFTER MY PARTNER LEFT THE LOT. AFTER IT WAS AGAIN TOWED FOR THE SECOND TIME THEY FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOW UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY TOLD THEM THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR. THE WEBSITE STATES THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BROKEN CAR WITH MY CAR VALUE DROPPING SIGNIFICANTLY. DODGE NEEDS TO REFUND ME THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY SPENT PLUS MILEAGE AND GAS COMMUNITING TO AND FROM VIERA TO TITUSVILLE FLORIDA DRIVING MY PARTNER TO WORK AND PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL AND GOING BACK AND FORTH AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A RENTAL CAR AND LEFT IN THE DARK AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT I PAID OUT ALMOST 1,000 TO GO OUT TO MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND IT DID NOT WORK. AT THAT TIME THE MAN WALKED INSIDE AND CAME BACK OUT WITH A PIECE FOR THE FUEL RELAY RECALL. I AGAIN WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS DODGE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO CHARGE ME AND PLAY ME FOR A FOOL. DODGE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. HOW DOES SOMEONE NOW CHECK FOR RECALLS BEFORE OPERATING ON A VEHICLE?

AS I TURNED RIGHT, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN STALLED. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, BUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CONTINUED TO WORK. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THEN I DID THE SAME WITH THE BREAK TO DEMONSTRATE THAT IT WOULDN'T RESPOND. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND MY OLDEST SON RECORDED UNTIL WE REACHED THE INTENDED STOPPING POINT. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 94,624. THE VEHICLE HAD A TRIGGER BOX / FLIGHT RECORDER, BUT IT QUIT FUNCTIONING THE PREVIOUS WEEK WHEN THE CAR ALSO STOPPED LAST WEEK.

OUR DODGE DURANGO STALLED AS I WAS TURNING LEFT. WHEN I WENT TO PUSH THE TRIGGER BOX, IT DID NOT WORK AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAITED, BUT THE TRIGGER BOX NO LONGER WORKS. THIS IS OF COURSE STRANGE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING CAN BE RECORDED. THE KEY FOB BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND THE PUSH BUTTON WAS IN USE. I HAVE A VIDEO FOR DOCUMENTATION. THE MILEAGE IS 94,017. WE HAVE RECORDED VIA TRIGGER BOX DAILY JERKS WITH THE DURANGO AND NOW THE MAJOR ISSUE WE NEEDED DOCUMENTATION OF CAN'T BE CAPTURED BECAUSE THE DEVICE NO LONGER OPERATES.

I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT TO TURN RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO RECORD IT BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS COMING DOWN THE EXIT BEHIND ME. I IMMEDIATELY KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE MILEAGE IS AT 93,322. THE FLIGHT RECORDER THE DEALERSHIP PLACED ON THE VEHICLE DIDN'T WORK SO THERE WAS NOTHING TO CAPTURE.

THERE WAS NO WHERE TO VEER OFF IN THIS SITUATION BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE FARTHEST LEFT LANE THAT HAD TO TURN BENEATH THE UNDERPASS. BECAUSE WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE CAR SHOOK A LITTLE AND WE CONTINUED TO SCHOOL.
