Check Engine Light On problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango

In the last month including today 10/28/2019 the vehicle shut off abruptly in motion lost power steering and power brakes all interior accessories lights and gauges remained on no acceleration vehicle had to be stopped put in park and re started afterwards everything seemed fine no check engine light no warnings nothing we will be trading it in as we feel it is unsafe to drive with our children.

My Durango hit 130k miles and the rpm where getting to almost 5k before shifting and this would happen on freeway and in town . Then a check engine light came on a p306 code is what it was giving me . That's a cylinder number 6 misfire so I had all plugs an new coil on cylinder 6 and put brand new injectors in and it ran good for about 5k miles and it happens again same p306 . I've replaced plugs again and same problem . My Durango is a 3. 6 I've read a lot on this and was wondering if this is one that has defective l head ? I've put so much money in this SUV idk what else it is I cant drive it for to long before its starts the misfire again .

While on the highway I a check battery light appeared on my dash, I planned on checking into it at the upcoming gas station which was about 3 miles away, as I approached the offramp to the gas station all kinds of check engine lights and abs and you name it started showing in my dash followed by the wipers and next thing you know the car dies out. Lucky for me there was no vehicle in front of me because I could not steer or brake because it was very hard or locked, I managed to pull over just before the gas station and sensed the smell of burned wire, I noticed I was not completely off the road so I tried putting vehicle in neutral but it was locked in park, also my key was stuck in the ignition. Local mechanic changed the battery first and still had the check battery light on so he reccomended a new alternator as well which I bought immediately, 900. 00 later here I sit with new alternator and baterry but still the same problem with vehicle stalling and check battery light on. Dealer says my vehicle is not in the p60 recall even though I have/had the same 160 amp alternator as the recalled vehicles. This is a serious issue which can become deadly if not fixed ASAP. Im sure of one thing, never in my life will me or my family buy a Dodge again.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. While driving at various speeds, the check engine light was constantly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs and coils failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to be diagnosed and was informed that the sixth cylinder spark plug failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

Was traveling 55 mph the engine goes from drive mode to 4 on the dash without changing the gear shift. Came to a stop on hill vehicle would not go forward when applying gas peddle had to roll down hill tried to move vehicle from park to drive gear on dashboard showed 4. Stopped vehicle placed it in park then checked in neutral then went to drive but it would not show drive on the dashboard display shows gear 4. Turned vehicle off then started vehicle back up the check engine light came on moved gear shift from park to drive but dashboard display shows 4 it will not show drive on the dashboard display but you can drive the vehicle it did not stall. Vehicle was parked until it can be taken to dealer to determine problem why the check engine light is on why the vehicle is showing 4 gear not drive on the dashboard display.

I believe there is actually 3 incidents that are all connected. First was August 2014 check engine light was on and car was losing power. The dealer replaced the battery. I asked them to check alternator but was told it was fine. Oct 4, 2014 we where driving and the check engine light came on car was having power loss and engine began to smoke. Took to the dealer and they claimed it was a bad waterpump. They also did recall work on the braking system. Two days later the check engine light was on again and the battery light would come on and off. My wife and daughter were driving car down the road and car power system just shut down. They had no control over anything at all in the vehicle. Towed to dealer and they claim it was the alternator and the batter. I am sorry but a vehicle with 31,000 miles with proper maintenance and around 10,000 miles a year should not be having all of these problem.
