I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT CRANKS OVER FINE BUT WILL NOT FIRE. I HAVE TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, AND THEN IT STARTS FINE WHEN I RETRY IT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ( R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 ) BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I AM WORRIED THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FUEL RELAY WAS RECALLED ON MY CAR (NHTSA # 15V-115); I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE INTERNAL FUEL RELAY PUMP THAT FAILED. THIS IS PART OF THE TIPM. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS PART OF THE RECALL. PRESTIGE DODGE STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PART, AS THE SPECIFIC RECALLED PART (PART OF THE TIPM) FAILED BUT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE (CASE NUMBER 27223921) AND WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD EITHER PAY FOR FULL REPAIR (AS THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE TIPM REPLACEMENT) OR "DRIVE WITH A FAULTY PART"--THOSE LAST WERE THE DODGE REP "KATELYN'S" EXACT WORDS. I WOULD NOT NEED THE NEW TIPM UNLESS THE FUEL PUMP (WHICH WAS RECALLED) FAILED--I WAS WILLING TO TAKE ONLY THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART. AT THIS POINT, DODGE AND PRESTIGE DODGE IS REQUESTING THAT I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A PART FAILURE CAUSED, AND ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT DODGE. I AM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE TO MAKE DODGE UPHOLD THEIR PART OF THE NHTSA RECALL AND FIX MY CAR. THERE IS A FIX (REPLACE THE TIPM), BUT THEY FEEL THEY SHOULDN'T PAY FOR IT. THE PART HAS ALREADY FAILED, AND THEY NEED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

FUEL PUMP RELAY INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIONAL. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS ISSUE ON KNOWN RECALL WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO "REPLICATE" ISSUE AT SHOP. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE SO REPLICATING IF IS A ROLL OF THE DICE THAT COULD COST ME HUNDREDS BEFORE AN ACTUAL REPLICATION HAPPENS.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO JERK WHILE ON THE FREEWAY/SURFACE STREETS. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ONCE DUE TO THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN POWER AND SPEED. SERVICE PEOPLE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND WERE NO HELP. IT HAS REPEATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, WE WERE ON A ROAD TRIP 2200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME...LIMITED OPTIONS. EACH TIME WE HAD TO STOP AND REST BY TURNING OFF ENGINE, WAITING/OR RESTARTING IN NEUTRAL. TRULY A DANGER/SAFETY ISSUE AND MAJOR INCONVENIENCE.

MY CAR HAS A FAILED ALTERNATOR, IT FAILED A TEST 3 TIMES, THE PLACE I TOOK IT TO SAYS MY CAR IS TO NEW AND HAS TO LOW OF MILES FOR IT TO HAVE FAILED.
PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY ACCELERATED THE CAR DIED.PUSHED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHERE IT NOW SITS .CANNOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE A CAR THAT I GOT FOR HER AS A PRESENT. IT DOES START BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL RELAY ON THIS CAR IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE. CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE HAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TIPM (FUSE BOX ) BECAUSE ALL THE RELAYS ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY, OMRON. THEY PROPOSED A PATCH FOR THIS FIX NOT ACCEPTABLE .THE TIPM HAS TO BE SEALED FROM MOISTURE AND DIELECTRIC GREASE APPLIED AND RELIABLE RELAYS NOT BY OMRON HTTP://WWW.WSBTV.COM/NEWS/NEWS/LOCAL/CHANNEL-2-INVESTIGATES-POSSESSED-CARS-AND-THEIR-DA/NKCQ3/ .HTTP://VERTICALVISIONS.COM/TIPM_SOLUTIONS.PHP
FOR THE PAST WEEK OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON SOME TIMES THE ENGINE IS GOING BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON. TODAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING 65-70 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO WARNING HE WAS ON THE FAST LANE SO HE HAD TO SAFELY GO TO THE RIGHT LANE TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST ANYMORE SPEED AND CAUSE AN MAJOR ACCIDENT. HE TRIED TURNING IT ON AND DID WITH TROUBLE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE STATING IT WILL TAKE 1- 12 MONTHS TO GET THE PART FOR THE RECALL FOR A PERMANENT FIX OR WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A TEMP. FIX. WHAT CAN WE DO?

RECALL: R09/NHTSA 14-V-115 TIPM WHY IS TAKING SO LONG TO OFFER REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIRS FOR AN ISSUE THAT CLEARLY STATES FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAN CAUSE STALLING AND CRASH WITHOUT WARNING? TO BE CLEAR I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY INCIDENTS YET BUT AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, THOSE OF MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD SHOULD THE FUEL PUMP FAIL RESULTING IN CAR STALLING AND CRASHING.

OCTOBER 15, 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO CREW TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING ME TO DRIFT INTO A CONCRETE RETAINING WALL. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE BODY SHOP AND WAS INSPECTED BY MY GEICO INSURANCE. THE DAMAGE TOTALED $5500, $500 OF WHICH WAS MY DEDUCTIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY, A PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE BODY WAS UNAVAILABLE, SO I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR AN ESTIMATED 3 MONTHS UNTIL THE PART WAS AVAILABLE FROM DODGE. I WAS CLEARLY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I KNEW IT MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE CAR DIRECTLY FROM THE BODY SHOP TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE NOTE ***GEICO INSURANCE DEEMED THE CAR "SAFE TO DRIVE" AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL. I TOOK THE DURANGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 24 HOURS AND DISMISSED ME TELLING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. NEITHER MY HUSBAND NOR I WERE SATISFIED BECAUSE IN MY 17 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND KNEW SOMETHING WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE STARTED THE CAR A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND IT WILL IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. I JUST RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NUMBER R09/NHTSA 14V-115. THIS SAFETY RECALL RELATES EXACTLY TO WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DURANGO. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE WITH IN THIS CAR, REFUSE TO GET ON ANY HIGHWAY WITH IT FOR FEAR OF IT SHUTTING DOWN AT 70 MPH, AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE PROOF OF THE $5500 IN REPAIRS, I HAVE PROOF OF THE $500 I SPENT ON MY DEDUCTIBLE, I HAVE PRO
UPON OPENING MY TRUCK USING THE BUTTON ON MY KEYLESS ENTRY, THE TAILGATE DOOR WHEN SLOWLY UP JUST LIKE NORMAL. MY MOTHER WENT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE TRUCK AND THE TRUNK DOOR SLAMMED DOWN ON HER HEAD AND NECK AREA. I WANTED TO SEE IF THIS WAS JUST ONE TIME, SO I TRIED TO OPEN IT AGAIN, THIS TIME JUST BY PULLING UP ON THE HANDLE, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED!! I TOOK VIDEO OF THE "FAULTY" DOOR AS WELL. MY MOTHER IS FINE, BUT IF THAT WERE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME AT ALL!!! TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND THIS WAS A "FREAK ACCIDENT" AND TOLD ME IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE EITHER SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!!! WORST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER! *TR

R09/NHTSA 14V-115 PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPT - NOTICE STATES THAT FUEL PUMP COULD FAIL AND CAR WILL STALL. I DRIVE KIDS AROUND ALL DAY AND DO NOT NEED THE ADDED STRESS OF WONDERING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO FAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ITS RIDICULOUS TO EXPECT PEOPLE TO WAIT 6 MONTHS TO GET A VEHICLE FIXED. THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR PARTS FAILING - IN MY OPINION THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TOWARD THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE DODGE PROVIDES, NOT TO MENTION THE POOR SERVICE OF NOT GETTING THE RIGHT PARTS OUT TO FIX A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. SERIOUSLY....WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE ARE NO PLANS TO FIX AN ISSUE FOR 6 MONTHS. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE, THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST - I'VE OWNED CHEVROLET ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: I DROVE ABOUT 80 MILES OUT OF TOWN. ONCE I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK TO FIND OUT THAT THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER. I FOUND OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD A RECALL AND I WAS EXPERIENCING A KNOWN PROBLEM. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY AND THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. I DROVE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON FOR THE BATTERY, BREAKS, ETC. AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE LATER MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING FOR SOLUTION. *TR

MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW WHERE LEAVING THE HOUSE WHEN MY WIFE WENT TO USE THE BRAKES SHE HAD TO PRESS WITH TWO FEET TO GET THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR.

THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THEY TRIED IT AND DID THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL ON FEBRUARY 3RD. ON FEBRUARY 13 LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR WORK THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO WORK TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD GONE OUT AGAIN. BOTH TIMES WERE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS WELL BELOW FREEZING. I AM DROPPING IT OFF TODAY AGAIN, MY PROBLEM IS IF THE BRAKES DON'T FAIL THEY WILL TRY TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO ME AND FROM BEING TOLD IT HAD ALREADY HAD HAPPENED I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD KNOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN DAMAGED AND WOULD HAVE CHANGED IT OUT INSTEAD OF PUTTING MYSELF AND FAMILY BACK INTO A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. *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

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
