2016 Dodge Durango complaints

ORIGINAL ARBITRATION DATA TO NCDS: 1.DURANGO 2016 WAS PURCHASED ON 30 APRIL 2016 WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCWS) WITH BRAKE ASSIST AS AN OPTION. THIS AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) SYSTEM WAS APP $2K AS A SAFETY OPTION. HTTP://WWW.DODGE.COM/EN/DURANGO/SAFETY_SECURITY/ . THIS WEBSITE DESCRIBES THE FEATURE. 2.ATTACHED FILE CAPTURE 6 AND 7 DESCRIBE THE FEATURE: 'FCWS PROVIDES THE DRIVER THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE NOTIFIED VIA AUDIO OR VISUAL ALERT AND IF THE SITUATION MERITS, A LEVEL OF BRAKING TO HELP SLOW THE VEHICLE AND FINALLY IF THE FCWS EVENT BEGINS BELOW 26 MPH, THE SYSTEM MAY PROVIDE MAXIMUM OR PARTIAL BRAKING TO MITIGATE FORWARD COLLISION.' THIS INFORMATION IS FROM DOCUMENT DOWNLOADED FROM CORPORATE WEBSITE TITLED 2016 DURANGO OM 4TH.PDF PAGE 229 /230 DESCRIBING THE FEATURE. 3. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR OVER 6 WEEKS THROUGH THE CHRYSLER RESOLUTION CENTER CASE # 29403021 WORKING WITH PENNY @ 214-583-2188. SHE INFORMED ME THAT IF THE ACC SYSTEM IS WORKING THEN THE FCWS 'SHOULD' WORK BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO BOTH LITHIA DODGE IN LAS CRUCES, NM AND SUNLAND DODGE IN EL PASO TX WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH DEALERSHIPS TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND ENCOUNTERED SIMILAR SITUATIONS IN TRAFFIC CONSISTING OF POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THE SYSTEM NEVER PROVIDED AUDIO/VISUAL OR LIMITED BRAKING ASSISTANCE AS ADVERTISED. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER RESOLUTION'S POSITION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKES ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE DIRECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED TO 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS REVVED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 981. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOAD LEVELING SHOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REMEDY PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT CRUISING SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT PASSENGER "ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT" DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. NO IMPACT, NO LARGE BUMP OR POTHOLE...JUST RANDOM. IT HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD/NECK.

THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP FEATURE FAILS TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER FOOT IS REMOVED FROM BRAKE. THE ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS IN THE INFORMATION SYSTEM "CYCLE SHIFT TO PARK THEN RECYCLE TO DRIVE". THE D FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE D ON THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR FLASHES. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BUT MAY OCCUR DURING A SHORT STOP PRIOR TO TURNING OR MERGING ONTO A STREET. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS PAUSE THAT COULD RESULT IN A REAR END COLLISION BY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THERE IS A FUNCTION BUTTON TO DISABLE THE START/STOP FEATURE BUT THE DEFAULT POSITION ON ENGINE START IS ON.

COMPUTER/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CAR BROKE DOWN AND COULD NOT PUT IN PARK BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THOUGHT MY SPEED WAS TOO HIGH EVEN THOUGH I WAS STANDING STILL. ONCE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER IT MOVED FORWARD WHILE IT WAS IN PARK. (VIDEO EVIDENCE) IN A PREVIOUS INCIDENT THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND NOT TURNED OFF. I EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. THE CAR IDLED FORWARD ON ITS OWN DAMAGING A GARAGE AND THE CAR ITSELF. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS DUE TO ME NOT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK BUT NOW I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE CASE. I BELIEVED THE CAR TO BE IN PARK BUT THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL KEPT THE DID NOT RECOGNIZE THAT VEHICLE WAS IN PARK.

RENTAL CAR. CABLES FOR GPS AND PHONE WRAPPED AROUND ROTARY SHIFT CONTROL. WHEN THEY WERE MOVED WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, TRANSMISSION WENT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. WHEN FOOT WENT FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR, CAR MOVED BACKWARDS RATHER THAN FORWARD. ROTARY CONTROL SHOULD BE HARDER TO MOVE, EVEN WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

AFTER PURCHASE, IMMEDIATELY WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HEADLIGHT NOT WORKING, THEN A REAR LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING. TOOK IN FOR RECALL ON ANOTHER PART AND THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL, WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING AT LIGHTS. LIGHTS ON DASH, RADIO, HEADLIGHTS, ETC, NOT WORK PROPERLY OR ALL SUDDEN DECIDE NOT TO WORK AT ALL. WE'VE TAKEN IT BACK NOW 5 TIMES. MECHANIC SAYS THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS IS BAD AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUES TO SAY THEY CALLED CHRYSLER FOR PARTS TO TRY TO REPAIR. WHILE MY 83 YRS OLD DAD WHO BOUGHT THE CAR, LEFT SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 4-5 HOURS EVERY TRIP AND NO RENTAL VEHICLE AVAILABLE FROM ENTERPRISE OR HERTZ. AFTER SITTING THERE 5 HOURS TODAY, WE HAD TO LEAVE VEHICLE. THIS TIME, WE ARE READY TO CALL ATTORNEY FOR LEMON LAW IN MISSOURI.
