The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. The failure worsened over the course of seven days and the battery under the passenger seat became extremely hot. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
My vehicle stalls while driving in traffic on a city street. However, the vehicle starts right back while it's coming to a slow roll. I try to crank it will rolling to prevent an accident. I have had the vehicles battery, alternator, starter, and fuel system checked. The ignition switch was replaced in the vehicle because the vehicle push start button gets stuck and a new keypad was programmed for the vehicle. The vehicle stalls while in motion at any giving moment.
The battery and alternator are brand new, but the battery keeps getting empty either the alternator that mopar replace is bad, or the voltage regulator doesn't work.
Same as Feb 2015 recall. Fuel relay replaced June 2019. As of July 9 2019 back in shop for tipm issues and replacement. After 4 days and a 3hr diagnostic study it was determined that the timp would need to be replaced and possible other modules. Vehicle originally had starting problem. Once fuel relay was replaced that ended. Then vehicle started but all dash lighting and error messages started flashing stating fcw was off, showed hill ascent indicator, showed brake indicator neither were on, showed service engine indicator and others. Wipers would randomly swipe even though they were off. Warning bell would randomly ding as if the seat belt was not fastened. It was. Headlights would randomly flash and the doors would unlock (this problem has been happening for 3-4 yrs but service would say to check key fob battery or possible interference of something else. Did drive vehicle to work approx 4 miles and home the first day of problem. Next day vehicle went straight to dealership approx 8 miles away. Still there 4 days later. Not repaired. Apparently my VIN is not part of original recall and now I will have to pay a minimum of $1560 for repairs in addition to the $472 I spent on the fuel relay.

Forward collision warning (fcw) off light going on causing transmission to down shift gears while driving; causing you to have to come completely turn off the vehicle to stop the issue from happening. It appears a faulty sensor is tripping the transmission/electrical issue.
Car stalls out. Noticed there were recalls for alternator but doesnt come up on your website. Do recalls expire. Wife was driving on residential street when car stalled. She was able to get it started. Happened twice in last month
I have 2013 Dodge Durango SXT and I bout it from mike alberts dealership in cincinnati, Ohio. A little over a year I bought it, it started having issues with the truck cutting off when I hit bumps. The headlights keep going out, I have to replace the the bulbs and then finally replaced the harness that house the bulbs because the original one was fried. Over time the ones that I bout are beginning to burn as well causing the bulbs to go out. When I take the truck back to the dealership, they say they have can't figure out what the issue is when it comes to the truck cutting off. It's a safety hazard for my family driving that truck and I'm sure it wouldn't look nice on Y'all end if I was to get into an accident with this vehicle if it stalls on me.
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango, took it to the dealership and they told me I have an electric problem.. for this truck to only be 6 years old and fully loaded im not understanding why its a problem so big... the lights went out without any warnings.
I was driving and the vehicle completely shut off without warning. There are no lights on, on the dash and it is not giving off any codes. The vehicle has shut off three times now. The first time in January, I had just got off of the highway and began to travel again. The truck turned off when I got up to around 25-30 miles per hour. The second time in March, I had stopped and started to travel again and was going about 25 miles per hour coming up an underpass.and the third time was yesterday. I was driving up a city street going about 40 miles per hour and the truck shut off. There was no one on the side of me. It felt like there was no power steering. I was able to wrestle the steering wheel to move to the side of the road. The truck coasted and stopped. I could not press the brake!!!! each time the vehicle shut off was when I was coming off of a stop and bringing the vehicle back up to speed, except yesterday it shut off once I was up to about 40 miles per hour. The vehicle shut off, I was unable to steer the truck as if it had no power steering and I could not press the brakes. I was able to wrestle the truck over and restart it. This is a serious issue. I reported it to Dodge today and they said there are no open recalls on this issue and to take it back to the dealer. However, I searched online and there are numerous similar complaints. Something needs to be done before someone dies.
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.
My Durango suddenly lost all power twice while driving between 35-55 mph. Once heading to a stop sign and once on the far left side of highway. I have had to quickly pull over to the side of the road, I attempted numerous times to restart it. Prior to that, often times you would turn the key and the dash lights would come on and the car would do nothing...not even turn over. After a few attempts, it would start. I need to get this fixed. I have 116K miles and this has happened two me twice in the last three weeks.
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango. I purchased this vehicle in October 2018, and soon after I started experiencing the problem. On may occasions while driving the vehicle randomly turns off, all electrical inside the vehicle goes blank, power steering goes out as well. It has happened while stopped, pulling off from a stop light, on side streets, and on highways. There doesn't seem to be a specific time this happens. I have taken the vehicle into the auto shop, and to the dealership. Both have said without a code or being able to replicate the issue they can't do anything. The issue happens randomly, so I don't see how it can be replicated so easily. This is very dangerous, and could be deadly. I have a 9 week old baby that I can't have in the vehicle, because I fear for her safety.
Drove vehicle 10 miles to location. Parked vehicle, turned it off. Returned to vehicle 2 hours later. Entered vehicle, put foot on the brake, pushed the start button. Vehicle started as usual and then immediately stalled. I tried several times, with the same results. After waiting a few minutes, I tried again, and the vehicle started normally, and continued to run. This has happened to me approximately 6 times over the last 3 years. The key fob has a fresh battery, so that is not the problem. The problem usually happens when the vehicle has been driven and turned off. Never from a cold start. Driving distance doesn't make a difference either. First time it was less than 1/4 mile from home, next couple of times it was 10 miles from home. No real pattern, other than its a second start of the vehicle. When starting, all the vehicles normal start-up information is displayed, the radio works, headlights are on, etc. The display does not show that there is a problem with the vehicle. All seems normal except for the start and immediate shutdown.
Car shuts off while driving. New alternator, new starter, new battery and the problem still occurs. Car shuts off completely, wheel tightens up. This is not when the car is idle, it's when the car is moving. Dangerous and deadly.
Dodge Durango 2013- 78,000 miles: On multiple occasions while driving our 2013 Durango it just shuts off. All inside electrical devices go blanks and we lose power steering. We have documented dates of when this has occurred and it can be 5 minutes into the drive or 45 minutes on a busy highway. We have had it the garage multiple times and they continue to tell us without a code they can not diagnose any issues. This has been happening since June 2018. We reported this issue to Dodge. They suggested we go to the garage for a diagnosis. We tried again on 12/26/18 to get a diagnosis and they again could not find anything wrong with the vehicle without a code. As my husband proceeded to drive away from the garage, it shut off again. He went back into the garage and they said they couldn't find any codes. So we continue to pay for garage visits with no answers. We are now afraid to drive our only vehicle because it shuts off completely while driving. It is completely dangerous to be driving down a busy highway and you lose your power steering or if you are pulling out of an establishment and lose power in front of other cars. We paid a lot of money for this car and have taken care of it with regular oil changes and garage visits. This seems like a major safety issue and Dodge should be concerned that someone may be hurt or killed.
