This vehicle has consistently given me problems with stalling. Year after year with this vehicle and I'm to the point to where I can barely drive it yet still have to pay payment after payment while fearing for mine and my children's safety in it. It's already had a recall fixed a few years back with something involving the fuel pump relay and that yet has to stop the stalling and the dealer can never tell me what the issue is... I can be driving 70 mph miles down the highway or 30 mph in residential and it just completely dies out on me and I lose control of power steering and all electrical goes out on dash. Sometimes I can just keep turning over ignition and it will pick right back up then other times I have to put in park and restart. I have at times, but not each time, associate the stall with hitting potholes or going over railroad tracks, bridges or anything that makes the vehicle feel a bump yet other times it does it for no reason whatsoever. I either need it to be fixed or given another vehicle of equal value. I've paid so much already and still owe 11 payments and can not afford to just purchase another vehicle. Would appreciate some help resulting in a solution to benefit me and my family's safety. The date below for 'when did it occur' is today's date as it done it today and has done so over the last 5/6 years I've had it..

While in motion (drive) on a city street and expressway the vehicle has shut off on me four different times on 11/24/2019 one week after becoming the new owner. The vehicle also stalled when turning the key fob to start the vehicle numerous times after shutting off.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the alternator. The contact was informed that the ECM board was faulty due to the damage on the voltage regulator. The following day, while the contact's wife was pulling out of the parking lot, the vehicle's electrical system began to show signs of a low battery. Shortly after, the vehicle shut off due to a dead battery. The vehicle was towed to barbera autoland (located at 7810 roosevelt blvd, philadelphia, pa 19152, 215-309-8670) where it was diagnosed that the ECM board failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened case number: 68047300. The manufacturer contacted the dealer who stated that the recall part was replaced and the ECM board was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

For weeks my 2013 Durango SXT won't lock when pressing the key fob and sometimes when I unlock the car, the horn goes off several times, as if I'm locking the car. I've replaced the battery in the fob, so not sure why it's not working properly. My liftgate lock stopped working for a month and recently started working. My check engine light is on and the car randomly has a delay in starting. I'm reading that it could be a fuel pump relay and the 2013 Durango has a recall for it, but my VIN isn't included in the recall even though it had a tipm recall that was repaired, which is closely associated with the fuel pump relay recall.

Wife drove vehicle with no issue, and after arriving home - with 3 children in the vehicle; while stationary (in park) & vehicle running (while kids finishing watching a video), she heard a 'terrible squeeling sound'; she sequentially closed sunroof, turned off A/C, and lowered sound level of stereo - sound persisted. She turned car off, then back on - smoke began to bellow out of the engine compartment. A fire extinguisher was discharged through grill area by a family member (who is a certified emt/fire fighter, if that matters), who did not want to open the hood. I arrived ~15 minutes later, and opened the hood and the alternator was clearly smoking, and the serpentine belt was discolored on the alternator pulley. Called auto service for tow. When wrecker arrived, I attempted to put car in neutral, but no actuation of the shifter would work - as no power; tow service had to use the bypass. Vehicle taken to dealership. I did some cursory research on this phenomenon, found an outstanding recall for this issue (T36); I called following day to make recall claim. Fca "special investigator" did an investigation on 9/10, I have not heard from them - and I have called no fewer than 4 times inquiring. Dealership service manager informed me late yesterday he received approval to perform work on the two (2) outstanding recalls on vehicle, but not covering damage due to the fire - at least that is what was relayed to me.
