2013 Dodge Durango Complaint Log

HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING BUT WAS NOT DUE TO AN IMPACT.

IN SEPTEMBER 2019 AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING ERRATICALLY, I TOOK MY 2013 DODGE DURANGO INTO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD A FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME I ASKED IF THEY ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD NOT NECESSARILY THAT THEY COULD LAST FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. IN DECEMBER 2019, AFTER EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS I TOOK MY DURANGO BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD ONE MORE FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, THIS TIME THE SHOP RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE OTHER FIVE (5) INJECTORS. I AGREED TO HAVE THEM REPLACE ALL FIVE SINCE IT APPEARED THAT ALL OF THEM MAY MALFUNCTION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. THE DAY AFTER I HAD THE FIVE REPLACED, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT REPLACED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS AND WAS MOST LIKELY SOME OTHER MINOR ISSUE. A FRIEND OF MY WHO ALSO HAD A 2013 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR.

STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING TURN IT BACK ON SOMETIMES IT COMES ON SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO GET IT TO START! ALSO STALLS OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR A FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT CAUSES STALLING. I'VE HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I CALLED TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT(S) REPLACED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2019. IT'S AUG. 2020 NOW. I CALLED MY DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE ' PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE YET FOR THE RECALL'. 9 MONTHS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. FAR FROM WHAT ANYONE WOULD CONSIDER 'A TIMELY REMEDY'.

ENGINE PRODUCES TICKING SOUND FROM DRIVER SIDE ENGINE HEAD. SUSPECTED ISSUE IS ROCKER ARM OR LIFTER. TICKING SOUND OCCURS AT IDLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH REV RANGE, BUT SEEMS TO DISSIPATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNDER LOAD. IF NOT FIXED VEHICLE ENGINE WILL EXPIRE.

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 KEY FOB WHICH TURNS THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF AT THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH HAS ABRUPTLY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE.

MY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES IT WILL START RIGHT BAVK UP AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T. WHEN IT DOESN'T TURN ON AGAIN, I HAVE TU OULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HIS COMPITER WILL SHOW NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

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.

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.

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.

MY HUSBAND REACHED IN FROM OUTSIDE TO HUG ME GOODBYE, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST POPPED OPEN. POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MOVE MY HEAD FORWARD, BUT NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CAUSE PAIN OR INJURY. WE TRIED TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER (NOT REALIZING THAT THERE WAS AN AIRBAG IN THERE), AND WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES TO WORK AFTERWARDS, ADJUSTING THE SEAT A BIT SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE MY POSTURE.
