I had just made it through an intersection and was a few miles from home. Something smelled a little "hot" even though I didn't have the radio, heat or any extra controls. Suddenly, all of the lights on the dash began flashing at me and I began losing power of the vehicle. I couldn't even put my windows up. I pulled to the side as fast as I could before losing all power, including my blinkers to warn other cars. I had to call aaa for a tow and they had to use a bypass to get the car in neutral to even tow it. They attempted to charge the car and the charging pack got extremely hot as if it was going to catch fire to the point he had to disconnect it. Meanwhile, a local fire department crew was returning to their station with an ambulance and stopped to help slow down traffic on the busy road. One of the fireman noticed sparks coming from the alternator area. That's when everything was disconnected and towed for repairs. Fast forward, the alternator and battery were replaced and the vehicle is still not functioning. The mechanic has not been able to get the car running again.

This vehicle has had intermitten no start and stall conditions while driving since December 2019. It seems to quit when slowing down for a turn, this has left my wife with a dead vehicle in oncoming traffic. This has been recalled 2 previous times and repaired but the repairs have not helped. December of 2020 Dodge finally cam up with a fix for the latest V62 recall and we had the vehicle fixed. 2 weeks later it started happening again. I would think 3 recalls and repairs for the same problem would be enough to remedy the situation. This 3rd fix took 12 months!! I wanty Dodge to do something about this vehicle or buy it back so nobody else gets killed while driving it. This vehicle had a no sell order on it so I am stuck with it.

The vehicle has had an open recall for over a year about the fuel pump relay. My vehicle has stopped running a few times while being driven on the freeway. At first, it was able to restart after a few minutes. Then, the vehicle did not start at all. Dodge says they still do not have the proper recall repair part made yet and would still replace it with the current part that has been recalled. I did need to have that done to be able to drive. After 2 months of driving an 80 mile daily round trip to work and home, it has stopped running again. I have called Dodge and tried to get the vehicle towed and fixed properly but they act like it is not their complete concern. They are currently not providing towing or a rental. This is very unacceptable for a manufacturer to post a recall and then not get it properly fixed in over a year time frame.

My car is currently one of the cars in an open recall with Dodge for the fuel pump relay. I had the fuel pump relay replaced last week 8/10/2020 since that time the car was driven maybe 4 times. The car was parked for the last four days in my garage I tried to drive it today and it stalled after 15 minutes while I was driving thankfully in a parking lot. I attempted to put a new relay on the fuel pump relay wiring harness but it still would not start. After about 5 minutes I would assume the wiring harness cooled enough I could get the car started and thankfully I was only 2 minutes away from the dealership. My car has been at a dealership three times since June 10 and twice in almost 2 weeks. The manufacturer is not helping and is telling me I have to work with the dealership. They are at a lose for what to do since Dodge is not giving them any direction. The car is not reliable nor dependable and currently has a recall on the fuel pump relay to fix the recall that did not work. I would really appreciate some assistance I cannot be the only one with a Dodge vehicle from this recall that is not have issues!

I was informed by the dealership that the fuel pump relay got too hot and caused the car to fail. How does a person know when or if this is going to happen and is this not a huge safety issue?

- Sparta, TN, USA

My Durango has stalled numerous times. The recall for the fuel pump relay recall has been performed and replaced and two new relays have been installed. The last relay lasted two months and failed completely yesterday. My car has been towed to a dealership. There is an open recall on this issue with no timeline for a fix. I was lucky enough yesterday to get the car to a parking space instead of pulling into traffic on a busy road before it died.
