While driving , the car just shuts off and the steering wheel and breaks lock. No matter how fast you’re going. Took to the mechanic and he said it was the WIN system.
While driving down the road, my vehicle will completely shut off and shut down. Sometimes, emphasis on the sometimes, I can push my key into the ignition a bit more and it will start back up. I lose all function and control of my vehicle. My dash lights and exterior lights completely shut off. I can't steer my car and it comes to a complete stop within seconds because everything locks up. I have had this happen more times than I can even count. It has happened in the middle of me turning at an intersection and has almost caused a collision. I took it in for a diagnosis and was told that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle and they didn't know why it was doing that. There is absolutely no warning for when this will happen. The speed that it happens at varies as there is no rhyme or reason. It happened when my care had 95,000 miles and still to this day. It happens AT LEAST 4 times a week. I have read forums where other people with the same vehicle have had this happen to also.
We were driving on the highway using the adaptive cruise control with the 3 furthest distance setting. Someone got in front of me and the FCW light came on and the engine shut off. We were able to pull off to the side of the road. I tried to start the car afterwards and it wouldn’t start. So we sat there for 15 minutes or so and tried again and it started. It happened again about 3 weeks later with the Adaptive Cruise control. Haven’t used it since.
hello I have got my truck off dealership like 6 months ago and my transmission is down I have to pay out of pocket also my head rest Popped out and hit my head
AFTER MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AS STATED BY THE PRIOR RECALL, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOUGH MY CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING AT ANY TIME. IT IS QUITE SCARY TO THINK THAT I AM DRIVING A 'FIXED' CAR AND AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE. MY CAR NOW UNLOCKS AND LOCKS AS WELL, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I CANNOT KEEP SAFELY ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IN MY VEHICLE OR PREVENT IT FROM BEING BROKEN INTO. THE INTIAL RECALL REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. I AM WAITING FOR IT TO STALL OUT.

IM HERE IN ALABAMA FROM GA, CAR SYSTEM LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON GOVERNMENT BLVD IN MOBILE, AL.
FUEL PUMP RELAY SYSTEM NOT WORKING. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPAIRED ONCE BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS RECALLED BUT NOT WITH MY VIN
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IS CONTINUOUSLY SHUTTING OFF. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND NEED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS COASTING AT 45 MPH THE CAR DISPLAY CONTROLS WHEN OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. THE SECOND TIME I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING STALL AND THE CAR DIED MID PARK AT WHICH POINT I HAD TO MANUALLY RESTART. THE MOST RECENT TIME I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING 35 I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER (WITH NO POWER STEERING) AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE MUSIC AND HEADLIGHTS REMAINED ON WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP WITHOUT HESITATION AND THE LOCAL DODGE DELEARSHIP IS NOT FINDING A CODE TO PROPERLY DETECT THE PROBLEM THEIR BEST GUESS IS TO REPLACE THE TIPM IN HOPES IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED A SAFE RELIABLE CAR AND NOT ONE THAT IS AS RISK OF DYING MID DRIVE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT HURTING MY FAMILY OR OTHERS.
ESTABA PARADO CON EL MOTOR ENCENDIDO Y EL ALTERNADOR EMPEZ A ARDERSE Y PROBOCO PROBLEMAS ELECTRICOS
VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLES LOSSES COMPLETE ELECTRICITY/POWER WHILE DRIVING.
FOR MONTHS NOW, I HAVE HAD TO COMPLAIN TO MY DODGE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2013 DODGE DURANGO AND GET IT SERVICED ABOUT HOW IT SUDDENLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ASSOCIATED IT WITH HITTING A BUMP SUCH AS A POTHOLE OR GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT WILL DIE OUT AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK. IT WILL THEN START RIGHT BACK UP. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. NO CODES ARE SHOWING UP AND BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT FINE. CABLES ALL HAVE A GOOD CONNECTION AND FUSES ARE SAID TO BE GOOD. I GET TOLD "HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE" OR "YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT WITH US SO WE CAN DRIVE IT AND WAIT FOR IT TO DO IT" BUT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND IT MAY DO IT NUMEROUS TIMES ONE DAY AND WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN OVER THE NEXT MONTH. IT'S RANDOM. I HAVE NOTICED THERE WAS AN ALTERNATOR RECALL ON 2011-14 YR MAKES OF THE DURANGOS BUT MY VIN SHOWS MINE IS CLEAR AND THE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT.
WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IT WILL ENGAGE INTO LOW MODE ALL BY ITSELF, CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND DRIVE VERY SLOWLY. THE TRACTION LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. I AM UNABLE DISENGAGE THE LOW MODE. I HAVE TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO DISENGAGE HOWEVER MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T WORK. THE CAR WILL AT SOME POINT USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 10-20 MINS OF TRYING TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SWITCHING THE AUTO AWD/LOW KNOB BACK AND FORTH RESUME REGULAR DRIVING MODE AT SOME POINT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS (7/2016) AGO SPORADICALLY. THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T THROW ANY KIND OF ERROR CODE AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY HAVE TO SEE THE CAR ACTUALLY DO IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ENGAGES IN A LOW MODE BY ITSELF CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND DRIVE SLOWER ALL OF A SUDDEN AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE PART OF THE SYSTEM CAUSING THE ISSUE IS UNKNOWN.
TAKATA RECALL. RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR. I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HIGH WAY 77SOUTH SPEED LIMIT 65 MPH WITH MY FAMILY N THE VEHICLE WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER . MY CAR HAD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKED. IT PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH OUT ANY WARNING. AND NOW I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW BATTERY
DRIVER AND PASSENGER STOPPED AT REST AREA ON INTERSTATE I-75. WHEN RETURNING TO VEHICLE, DRIVER AND PASSENGER CONNECTED SEATBELTS. DRIVER CHECKED SURROUNDINGS FOR CLEARANCE BEFORE PUTTING DURANGO IN REVERSE, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE TO SLOWLY EXIT PARKING SPACE. WHILE IN REVERSE TURN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. A CHEVY CRUZE PARKED BEHIND WAS STUCK(REAR TRUNK AREA). DRIVER, REALIZING VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING LOOKED INTO REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEARCH FOR OPEN, SAFE AREA. DRIVER AIMED FOR EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN CRUZE AND A CHEVY EQUINOX. DURANGO HOPPED CURB, BOUNCING DOWN ON FRONT END OF EQUINOX, DAMAGING AND TEARING OFF FRONT BUMPER. AT SOME POINT DRIVER PUT BOTH FEET FIRMLY ON BRAKE PEDAL. VEHICLE CONTINUED ONTO GRASS, DIGGING INTO GRASSY AREA, FINALLY STOPPING BEFORE COLLIDING INTO TREES WHICH WERE BEHIND. IN ADDITION TO DAMAGE TO TWO OTHER VEHICLES, THE DURANGO SUSTAINED REAR END DAMAGE.. LEFT REAR TIRE WAS ON THE GROUND SIDEWAYS WITH TIRE DETACHED FROM RIM. STILL NOT SURE IF DURANGO FINALLY RESPONDED TO BRAKES OR IF TIRE SNAPPING OFF SUSPENSION IS WHAT FINALLY STOPPED VEHICLE. THIS ALL OCCURRED WITHIN SECONDS. STATE POLICE WERE SUMMONED, REPORT TAKEN. DURANGO REMOVED FROM SCENE VIA FLAT BED TOW TRUCK. DAMAGE ESTIMATES AND POLICE REPORT ARE PENDING AT THIS TIME.
MY CAR POWER CUT OUT COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ALONG ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS DARK AND I HAD TO TRY AND PULL OVER WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS TO A SAFE PLACE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE 2013 DODGE DURANGO. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I THOUGHT THAT WHEN I GOT THE RECALLS DONE IT WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I AM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. I CALLED DODGE ON THE TOLL FREE # AND THEY HAD ME TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CABIN FILTER, AIR FILTER, AND FUEL SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD NOT SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE CAR IF THE FILTERS NEED TO BE CHANGED. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, APRIL 22, MAY 16, MAY 20, MAY 28, JUNE 18, JUNE 19 AND JUNE 13.
WHEN ACCERATING FROM A STOP OR EVEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO SPEED, THE VEHICLE DOGS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. EVEN WHEN GETTING FROM THE ONE RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A HESITATION. THE RPM'S GO DOWN RAPIDLY, THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GET THE VEHICLE TO KICK IN TO GET IT UP TO SPEED.AT ONE POINT, I HAD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GET THE ACCELERATION I NEEDED TO AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I HAVE HAD IT T A DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS AND ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A DODGE ISSUE WITH THE GEAR RATIO AND THAT IS THE WAY IT IS. I EVEN HAD 2 MECHANICS DRIVE ALONG AND THEY NOTICED IT,BUT DID NOTHING. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF DODGE DOES NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCEI THOUGHT THEY COULD FIX THIS ISSUE AND STILL NOTHING. I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON THIS.
WHILE PARKING MY TRUCK, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY, WENT OVER A CURB, INTO A TREE AND BACK OVER A CURB. THERE WAS OVER $19,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. A CASE WAS OPENED WITH DODGE/CHRYSLER AND THE RESPONSE WAS RECEIVED OVER A MONTH LATER INDICATING THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS NOT DUE MANUFACTURER FAULT. THIS TRUCK WAS ALSO AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 DAYS PRIOR TO BE SERVICED FOR RECALL CAMPAIGN R09/NHTSA 14V-115.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.
WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE ON 5/31/13. LESS THAN THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FIRST SET OF REAR SHOCKS WERE ORDERED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE NOW OWNED THE VEHICLE JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND WILL BE HAVING THE SHOCKS REPLACED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. NOBODY AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVER EXPLAINED WHY WE HAVE SUCH ISSUES, AND WHEN I CALLED THIS MOST RECENT TIME, THE SERVICE DEPT SAID "MAYBE WE AREN'T USING THE RIGHT ONES". WE ARE REACHING THE END OF OUR WARRANTY PERIOD AND DON'T WANT TO BEGIN HAVING TO REPLACE PARTS, THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AN AVERAGE OF EVERY 6 MONTHS, AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, WE GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, AND WE HAVE YET TO GET THE WORK DONE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO THE WORK. WE'VE EXPERIENCED COUNTLESS TIMES OF "SLUGGISH" PERFORMANCE WHEN DRIVING AT 30 OR LESS MPH, WHICH WE ASSUME IS RELATED TO THIS RECALL. OF COURSE, WE'VE ALREADY HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER SHIELD RECALL WORK PERFORMED, BUT WE NEVER DREAMED THERE WOULD BE TWO RECALLS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SHOCKS. WITH ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, WE FEEL OUR SAFETY, AND THAT OF OTHER PASSENGERS, IS AT RISK AND HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE CONCERNED AS WE PUT MORE MILES ON THE CAR.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
