THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT DATE ON THIS ISSUE. I JUST ENTERED THE LAST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. WHEN GOING TO START MY VEHICLE IT STARTS, THAN AUTOMATICALLY STALLS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN OVER 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE...WITH THE TIPM. HOW THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND PEOPLE'S CARS HAVE BEEN IN SHOPS FOR OVER A MONTH. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED! *TR

MY DURANGO HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO START IT SINCE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 7 TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WON'T START ON MANY OCCASIONS. I WILL ALSO START AND THEN SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE R09 FUEL PUMP RELAY FIX I STILL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH IT APPEARS IT IS THE ACTUAL TIPM THAT HAS GONE BAD AND WILL COST ME AROUND 1500$ IT IS A DISGRACE THAT DODGE WILL NOT JUST RECALL THE BAD TIPM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS ME AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU ALL WILL LOOK INTO THIS MORE CONSIDERING HOW DANGEROUS IT IS ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND YOUR VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH IS ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS BAD TIPM. THANK YOU

I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION/ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER FROM "P" (PARK) TO "D" (DRIVE) THE NUMERAL "4" IS DISPLAYED IN THE EVIC (ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER) WHERE ONE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE LETTER "D". AT THIS POINT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD BUT WITH A DISTINCT LACK OF POWER. WHEN MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER TO THE LEFT -- THE ERS (ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECT) FUNCTION OF THE SHIFT LEVER IN NON-FUNCTIONING -- THE VEHICLE STAYS IN 4TH GEAR AND THE NUMERAL IN THE EVIC WINDOW IS STILL "4". THE VEHICLE IS "STUCK" IN 4TH GEAR. THE ONLY WAY TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO "NORMAL" FUNCTION IS TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. UPON RESTART THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER REPEATED ITSELF. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED (VIDEO USING AN IPHONE) ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT SEVERAL TIMES, AND ON EACH OCCASION DIFFERENT "FIXES" HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. THE "MALFUNCTION" HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 9TH, 2014, THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I GET IN THE VEHICLE TO START IT, VIA PUSH BUTTON START, THE VEHICLE WILL START AN IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE RESULT IN A 15-30 SECOND REPETITIVE START LOOP WITHOUT THE VEHICLE STARTING, AT WHICH POINT A RED LIGHT WILL BEGIN BLINKING ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. TYPICALLY THE VEHICLE HAS TO REST FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A RESTART, SOME OF WHICH ARE SUCCESSFUL AND SOME ARE NOT. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO TAKING UP TO 10 SECONDS TO SHUT DOWN ONCE THE PUSH BUTTON IS DEPRESSED TO TURN OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS BEGINNING TO BECOME A REAL SAFETY CONCERN AS IN AN EMERGENCY I CANNOT TRUST THAT I CAN SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. *TR

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2012 THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT ACTUALLY COOL WHEN THE REMOTE START IS USED. WE LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE IS OVER 110 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, AND HAS BEEN SEEN IN THE 130S, 4 MONTHS A YEAR. I HAVE USED A THERMOCOUPLE TO MEASURE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE DURANGO AND I HAVE SEEN IT UP TO 160 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. HAVING 2 YOUNG CHILDREN THE AIR CONDITIONING NOT OPERATING WHEN THE REMOTE START IS UTILIZED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, WHETHER IT IS LEAVING A STORE OR AT THE HOUSE. CHILDREN ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEHYDRATION AND HEAT STROKE MORE EASILY THAN ADULTS, THEREFORE EXPOSING YOUR CHILD FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES IS DANGEROUS. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN IT IS IN FOR SERVICING. THEY HAVE YET TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND THEY STATED THERE WOULD BE A COMPUTER UPDATE TO REPAIR THIS. IF THERE IS NOT A REPAIR PRIOR TO THIS SUMMER WE WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE DEALERSHIP OR DODGE MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

THE VEHICLE FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND CHRYSLER WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE. THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP IN REVERSE OR ROLL AND NOT GO IN GEAR. LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. THE MOTOR JUST CONTINUES TRYING TO TURN OVER. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TRY TO START A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WILL RUN. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. I STARTED IT AFTER PUTTING GAS IN AT A GAS STATION AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DIED. I STARTED IT AND STARTED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIED AND CONTINUED ROLLING. IT ALSO DIED WHEN MY WIFE WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY SONS SCHOOL. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR ALMOST A YEAR TO GET IT REPAIRED. I FIRST REPORTED THE INCIDENTS IN 2014 TO BOTH CHRYSLER AND A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANT GET THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER....UPDATED 09-29-15 *BF

BRAKING SYSTEM VACUUM BOOST IS LEAKING OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (TYPICALLY 8 HOURS). PEDAL FEEL IS FIRM AFTER THE TIME PERIOD AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. AFTER VEHICLE IS STARTED THE VACUUM BOOST AND PEDAL FEEL RETURNS TO NORMAL. A DEALER SERVICE APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN MADE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. *TR

ON JAN 24TH AND ON FEB 7TH, THE DODGE DURANGO DID NOT START AND WAS TOWED VIA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE 5 TOWNS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THAT COST UNNECESSARY 1200.00. AN EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER. THIS IS A S A RESULT OF AN INADEQUATE, FAULTY AND DEFECTIVE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING. THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIVES. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 19,000 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 37,705. DURING ABOUT 1/3 OF ALL ENGINE STARTS, HOT AND COLD, THE ENGINE WILL RUN BRIEFLY (LESS THAN 5 SECONDS) AND THEN STALL. THE ENGINE WILL USUALLY START AND RUN ON THE SECOND TRY BUT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UNTIL THE THIRD TRY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES BY THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN CATHEDRAL CITY, CA, WHICH REPORTED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING THE FIRST SNOW STORM OF THE SEASON WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OR REVERSE. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS DRIVE OR NEUTRAL. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT SNOW HAD GOTTEN LODGED IN THE DRIVE SHAFT THEREFORE NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO BE SHIFTED. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT IT WAS BECAUSE WE HAD HEAVY WET SNOW. THIS IS WISCONSIN!!! WE GET SNOW ALL OF THE TIME. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM GLAD THAT I WAS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE I NEEDED TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK 55 MILES FROM HOME IN A SNOW STORM! *TR

LEASED 2012 DURANGO ON 12/28/11. AT 9353 MILES ON 12/7/12 THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM RUPTURED WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. POWER STEERING FLUID COVERED ENGINE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. COMPLETE FAILURE OF ALL POWER STEERING, VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER TO A SAFE SPOT OUT OF TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAD TO BE FLATBED TO DEALER. DODGE SERVICE STATED THAT A FITTING ON A HOSE HAD BROKEN OR FALLEN OFF. IT WAS REPAIRED. AT 21,922 MILES ON 1/09/13 ONCE AGAIN AS I PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC INTO A SHOPPING CENTER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. COMPLETE FAILURE OF ALL POWER STEERING, FLATBED TO DODGE DEALER AND AM TOLD THAT ALL HOSES AND PUMP ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HAPPENING ONCE. TWICE IS A ISSUE. CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO OTHER REPORTS OF THIS. AFTER A LITTLE SEARCHING DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON SOME 2012 JEEPS. *TR

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF UNPREDICTABLY AT NIGHT, REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO REACH DOWN AND TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON MANUALLY. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AS IT IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER EVEN IF HE KNOWS WHERE THE LIGHT SWITCH IS. VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE DARK AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES. *TR

RACK AND PINION LEAKING SUDDENLY. FUEL PUMP RELAY WENT OUT AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON FOUR LANE.

SITTING IDLE ON A DRIVEWAY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND SMELL. PUNCHED GAS THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME HUGE WHITE BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE PUSHED OUT. SMELL OF BURNING METAL CAME WITH CLOUD OF SMOKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AT FIRST COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM.

THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS THE OIL PAN DESIGN IS FAULTY AND THAT MY VEHICLE WILL SMOKE WHEN ON AN INCLINE, DRIVEWAY, HILL, STUCK IN TRAFFIC AT A SLOPE. THE EMISSIONS ARE HORRENDOUS AND I AM SHOCKED THAT A 57 HEMI ENGINE WOULD DO THIS. SHOCKED MORE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET FIXED IT. *JS
