I have reported this before. My vehicle stalls out while driving. I have taken it to the mechanic a number of times but nothing fixes the problem.

47 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2019

The 4wd message starting displaying on my dashboard, the awd/lo neutral light was on, I tried following the instructions in the manual to turn it off, but it did not work. When I pulled into my driveway I tried again to get the message to shut off by following instructions then my car began to go in reverse, my breaks would not work, and I had to put the emergency break on. Even with the car shut off the car will roll, I have kept the emergency break on and waiting for a mechanic to look at it. Based on my research this is a common issue with the Durango's and Dodge has done nothing to recall these faulty switches. This is a major concern as I could have been out of my vehicle when it started to roll causing danger for anyone around.

55 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2018

While driving my 2011 Dodge Durango about 45 mph, my battery lite came on, within a matter of approx 2 minutes, all of the dash lights came on and were blinking and alarming, my windshield wipers came on, my ac turned off, my fasten seaght belt lights came on and alarmed and then suddenly the car lost power and power steering went out and I quickly tried to hanover the car to the side of the road onto incoming traffic. At the same time the brakes went out then the entire dash/panel went out as well as my headlights. This was 6 am and it was dark outside. I got over the intersection and was able to turn the vehicle and was able to drive down the road and get off the busy street. I then had to wait till the car stopped on its own as the brakes did not work. Also no headlights. I tried to turn on emergency flashers and the would not go on. I put the car in park and got out as I could smell burning of what I thought was electrical wires. I had to have it towed to the dealer. I could not even lock the car as the key fob did not work. It is at the dealer now and I am waiting for a diagnosis. The incident was very disturbing and unsafe as I had no control over the car. Luckily due to the time of day, there was little oncoming traffic and I had not entered the freeway yet.

57 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2018

Car began misfiring while driving, and then would not move once stopped and then put back into gear. Engine light and fcw indicators came on. Initial diagnosis was to replace two sensors. Problem returned after replacement. Next diagnosis was to replace all 16 spark plugs with boots. Still did not solve problem. Electrical system was checked to find any leaks, none were found, but a new code originated to re-flash computer. Computer was pulled and found to be taking on water and corroding terminals. Computer was cleaned and re-sealed to fix problem. But computer is likely to take on more water and corrode again. Total repair was over 1600. 00 and 20 days in shop. Included document does not include initial sensors and plug replacement. Mechanic indicated that based on observation, wires connecting to computer had been worked on in the past, likely to address similar problem.

61 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2018

I am currently 8 1/2 months pregnant and am now scared to drive my own car. I happened to me when I turned my car on this morning and it wouldn't let me move it until I turn it off and back on then it's fine. This is a large concern for me because I travel on the highway to work everyday.

62 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2018

The last recall that was performed was the p54 fuel relay. I believe the problem is somewhere in the entire electrical system. The reason I suspect this is because the vehicle has lots of intermittent problems. For example, the alarm goes off randomly for no reason since I purchased the vehicle, power locks open on their own, vehicle has difficulty starting at times and then starts right up most of the time, and all without a warning or error code on the dashboard. The most recent problem almost killed me and my family this morning as the vehicle turned off while driving and almost caused an accident, again no error codes or warnings. An investigation should be opened because this is extremely dangerous as the vehicle can turn off at any moment and without warning.

The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v530000 (electrical system).

No warning lights came on during the entire experience. All temp gauges showed normal. The car became increasingly hard to drive, feeling transmission slippage. More smoke came from out of all sides of the hood. Upon exiting the vehicle and checking the hood, I could see fluid coming out from under the passenger side front engine compartment - towards the front of the car. When I lifted the hood, the engine was fully involved in flames. I dropped the hood closed and ran to the other side of the street. Withing 15 minutes the entire front end of the car was burned out, hood and various other parts melted. Car had to be totaled by the insurance agency.

67 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2017

2 separate recalls on my vehicle after my vehicle has already had 2 other recalls repaired. The first one is t59 regarding a brake booster water shield. I received a letter regarding the recall a week or so before thanksgiving and it just stated �important safety recall�. I start making phone calls to dealers and even schedule an appointment with the provided phone number at huntington beach Dodge to have the vehicle inspected. When I showed up to my appointment, the service advisor was rude and ended up telling me that he just put his last parts on another vehicle. I had an appointment. I showed up for nothing. So I call around since November of 2017 to find a dealer with the parts. Nobody had them and not one dealership seemed to be in a hurry to remedy the recall, telling me �it's not that big of a deal�. Well it is actually, because when I look at the carfax report on this vehicle, the first 7 months since it was brand new it was in oklahoma used as a rental car for 17,000 miles until it was sold. It was also in oklahoma during the winter months where it's raining and snowing, falling perfectly in line with the recall. The vehicle to this day has yet to be inspected for numerous reasons including all contacted dealerships missing the parts needed for replacement and lack of availability of local dealerships to service the vehicle. Low and behold, a week after receiving that recall notice, I ended up in a collision with another vehicle because I could not slow down in time and had to take a point on my driving record and potentially have my premiums raised. Not only that, the California dmv has issued me a mandatory hearing in which I have to retest in order to determine my ability to drive. A few days ago, I received a different notice that now reads �urgent recall� and I'm still having the same issue getting the vehicle in for service, while I drive with adefect.
