general problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango

While driving without notice transmission light flashes and the 2011 Dodge Durango will not shift out of gear. I have had this problem in the past and told dealer but they always say they have no codes and on test drive cant confirm the issue. The first time it happened was around the 50 000 mile mark I thought nothing of it back then as I restarted the car it went away. Over the years it go worst to the point that it would happen at least once or multiple times during my daily commute it I told the dealership about it but no codes and they said on a test run no problems. I stopped driving the car in 2019 because it was too dangerous to drive daily especially in traffic due to the car unable to shift gears left me stranded in the middle of the freeway many times waiting to restart car and car would behave normal until the transmission light comes on where I have to power off Durango and restart where ever it happens freeway stop signs lights or where ever it decides to happen. I want to get this car running again but dont have the money to fix an issue that I had when it was still covered by the extended warranty and now I have to pay out of pocket because im over the milage so this car has been sitting and I feel as I been ripped off because of al the issues. Im end up dying in this thing if I take it out. Ive donr the recalls and now I see another recall for the same issue that they said they fixed is been reissued im certain all of the issues is tied to the computer unit it I already had one replaced in this car because when I took it for the alternator issue when the car just died with no warning they told me it was fried. All the recall issues that have been mandated are all the issues I had car stalling not starting battery dead and drained fuel relay power module no power how is this not a lemon. This car is a saftey issue on so many levels. Im now trying to get this car running and im still having the same issues I have 129000 miles on it now.

While at speed, the fcw light goes off and the vehicle looses the ability to accelerate. I usually have to pull over, shut down the vehicle, and restart it to continue. I have had all of the recalls completed as soon as possible, and the last one was completed several years ago. Similar things happened previously with this car but seemed to be fixed by recalls. This has only started happening again recently, say within the last month or two, and is happening with greater frequency.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would independently shift into different gears without warning. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,979.

The dealership sold wrecked vehicle without fixing the engine only the body of vehicle was repaired. Engine failure truck cut off while in traffic almost hit another vehicle. Yes the vehicle was repaired @my own experiences, yes the engine light was on ps the vehicle was crash a second time @jerry ulm Dodge 2966 n. Dale mabry.

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.

My vehicle has 69,000 miles on it. It is very well maintained. Recently I have experienced when coming to a complete stop the vehicle for whatever reason shuts off. I have to push the ignition button to restart the vehicle and it runs fine. It's scary to think that your vehicle can just shut it's off without any warning. The dealership doesn't have an explanation and there is no recall. However; there are multiple people via the internet that have experienced this same event. I think fodge should be looking into this issue. Fuel related. . Electrical?? lots of questions, but something needs to be done!!! scared for my safety!!.

My car would not downshift, I was going 50 mph on freeway and it was raving by itself at 5-6000 rpms. . . . At dealer now they tell me I need a new transmission cooler!!! this vehicle has been a complete lemon, headliner caught on fire while I was driving, due to recall on visors which had already been performed. Alternator caught on fire due to recall they had no fix for. . Engine heads replaced, recall. . . Totally unsafe, as my vehicle lost all power, lights steering, when alternator went out.

On August 19th I was driving with my kids when all of a sudden all the warning lights along with my seatbelt warning lights started to go on and off. My radio and my control panel started to turn on and off on its own. Also the ac stopped working, it sounded like it was running but no air flow would come out. Then I began to have no acceleration. We researched that there will be a recall on the alternators for my 2011 Durango but because nothing has been released Dodge told us we are on our own. This could have caused an accident and I had no warning about what could happen. This is a big safety concern especially when this is our family car and my kids are with me in the vehicle.

My vehicle was in motion on a city street when it completely shut down without warning. The engine stalled and there was no power to the vehicle whatsoever. I was unable to steer, brake, put the car in neutral, roll down windows, unlock doors, or have my hazard lights on. I was blocking traffic and had no way to signal to other drivers that my vehicle was stalled in the middle of the road. After having it towed to the dealer, I was told the alternator shorted out, which in turn fried the battery and powertrain module. The dealer agreed to pay to replace the powertrain module at no cost to me but the remaining repairs cost me $1300. Upon doing some research I discovered that as of October 2014 more than 435,000 vehicles were effected by an alternator recall, including cars the same make, model, and year as my own. I found other complaints online of owners of the same type of car who experienced a similar breakdown while driving and they were told that the repairs would not be covered. I called Chrysler's customer service line and they investigated the issue but refused to pay for the work. Having a car stop driving without warning while in traffic is extremely dangerous. Knowing there are other vehicles out there experiencing the same issue indicates to me that the alternator recall should be extended to include additional cars. I would like to be reimbursed for my expenses and to be sure that other drivers do not experience this dangerous situation that could easily result in a very serious car crash.

"durango recall" my Durango has developed a leak of a translucent/light green substance. One shop initially diagnosed it as a power steering leak, but after taking it to aamco, they recommended a new radiator. Noi one has wanted to take off the grill without charging me hundreds of dollars, and so iu decided to review complaints of other Dodge/Jeep owners on youtube. After several hours of research and discovering dozens of other consumers with the same issue as mine, I have determined the problem to be the ac condenser/transmission cooler unit. Apparently, coolant weeps from the upper right (as you look at it) or from the driver's side if you are in the car, and the oil from the condensor/cooler then saturates the power steering lines , thus giving rise to initial false diagnoses. Based on the fact that my power steering levels have not been affected while puddles of translucent/green substance gathers in my driveway and oil pans, I am confident the condenser/cooler unit is defective and out to be recalled immediately. I have included photos to illustrate the problem.

On an intermittent, but regular basis, the vehicle (2011 Dodge Durango) stalls when slowing into a turn or approaching a stoplight. Once the vehicle stalls, the steering column locks making it difficult to turn the vehicle. This has resulted in several close calls with other vehicles and even objects (curbs, light poles, etc. ) I use this vehicle to transport my children on a daily basis and am concerned for their safety as well as my own. We have taken the vehicle in to the dealership that it was purchased from (arrigo Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep ram) in west palm beach FL. Eight (8) times for this same problem. They have replaced various parts, and even been able to recreate the problem once, however, every time we get the vehicle back, within a few days or weeks it stalls again. There have been several recalls on this particular vehicle, including one for the fuel pump relay within the tipm-7 and one for the 160 amp alternator, both of which can cause the vehicle to stall. I have included as many of the applicable service reports as the upload will allow. The dealership stated that they contacted Chrysler at one point, but did not receive any answers as to how to fix the problem.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that there was engine oil leaking from the timing chain into the alternator. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the left cylinder and timing chain gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, a few months later while driving at 25 mph, the battery warning light illuminated. After, shifting the vehicle into park, the contact noticed smoke coming from the alternator. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was aware of NHTSA campaign number: 14v634000 (electrical system) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000. Oo.

I was driving the SUV in about 30 degree weather attempting to enter the highway when I lost almost all engine power simultaneously the check engine light tripped. Luckily there were no vehicles behind me, I was able to make it to the next exit. The code tripped was : po6dd mod $00 engine oil pressure control circuit performance/stuck off. Is this safe? and do the electrical issues with the other modules have any effect on this?.

Driving through town, every warning light came on and wipers starting going uncontrollably. Rpm starting diving to 0 and then back up to appropriate rpm for speed. Other dials and nav/media screen also starting flashing. Tones and lights kept flashing on and off and I immediately proceeded the few miles down the street to drop it off at the Dodge dealership. Vehicle was up to date on all service and recalls, except the fuel pump recall which we were told we were in line for based on parts and capacity issues. I spent $1300 to replace the tipm to fix 37 out of the 38 codes, and then another $1300 for a new headlight power module (for the last code) which shorted out and, per the mechanic, shorted out the original tipm (since they are in series with no protection between). The tipm houses all of these power modules internally, so one bad short on a subcomponent can ruin your entire tipm. The recall on the fuel pump power module adds an external component for this subsystem to protect it from these tipm failures, but does not address the major tipm safety issue! from researching other owners' experiences I was lucky the entire vehicle didn't shut down on me while driving. This is a major safety issue! I can't believe that I had to pay for these costly repairs, and all this does is replace these flawed components with the same flawed components again. I have to get rid of this car and soak up a huge financial loss to do so because this car is a ticking time bomb and I can't allow my family to ride around in it safely.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly decelerated without warning. The contact shifted into park, drive and then the vehicle was restarted but the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v634000(electrical system) however, the parts were unavailable. The dealer was uncertain when the parts would become available to service the vehicle under the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. While driving at 60 mph, the vehicle jerked and there was a sudden increase of engine rpms. Shortly after, the vehicle lost power and the rpms decreased. In addition, the vehicle failed to start intermittently and both turn signals on the mirrors failed to function. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. All warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.

Vehicle would not start after sitting for an hour. The car also did not run very well while driving. Dealer is saying it is a faulty tipm which controls the electrical features of the vehicle.

I initially bought the 2011 Dodge Durango from gillman Nissan of rosenberg TX. Three months after buying it all of the electrical on the vehicle went haywire while driving on the interstate and stalled out. My husband looked at it and had it towed to gillman Nissan where they determined it was a powertrain issue where it was sent to Dodge. After it was sent to Dodge they stated that it wasn't a warranty issue and forced my husband to pay the towing and an additional fee of $100 to look at it. Later they stated they could diagnose it until they put an altinator in it for $1200, my husband being a mechanic put a altinator in it and they refused to diagnose it nor fix it without paying more. My husband filed complaints with Chrysler customer care where they did nothing and keep stating they set up appointments that we didn't show up on even though that wasn't the case, no appointments were ever made. Now a month later my car started acting crazy again, my husband looked at it and diagnosed it as the tipm but when I called Dodge they stated that there's a recall on the tipm but they don't have them in stock and it will be months before they ever get them. I am needing help here with they're default defect vehicles they're selling.

My 2011 Dodge Durango stopped starting with the push button start. It happened the first time when my wife was bringing home our 5 kids from school and daycare. My wife was able to manually start the vehicle with taking off the push to start button and starting it with the key. However, this only works 80% of the time. We took it to a Dodge dealer and they found it is the tipm (totally integrated power module). This is the part that is effected in the upcoming recall that starts on the 24th. My vehicle build date is 4/21/2011 which is right in the middle of the vehicles effected.

When attempting to use the push button ignition to start the vehicle, the vehicle crank over to start and then stutter out or crank to start and get stuck cranking until operator shut it down- sometimes would not shut down immediately but keep stuttering for a short period of time. Upon bringing to dealership, the mechanic identified issues w/ lariant #5 stating need to be replaced with the new style lariant #6. Dealership informed me- not covered under any type of warranty. Why not? what is wrong with lariant #5 that needed to be upgraded to a new version? after researching online, multiple owners of the 2011 Durango have reported issues of this same part. An investigation needs to be performed on this faulty part from the factory. Dodge is aware of this safety issue and has done nothing to resolve and no recall has been issued. This has resulted in heavy consumer out of pocket costs for a newer vehicle.

Tipm was replaced and vehicle started to do the same similar things, however, this time it locked my 9 yr. Old daughter in the vehicle with it running and the key fob was in the vehicle. She had to unbuckle and let me in. The electrical system still has a mind of its own, stalls in road at different speeds, also while driving it acts like the engine is shutting off then it comes back, and continues this procedure a few times until it finally comes back to life. 4low has not properly worked ever, and is a danger when in an emergency situation, and you need it. They say they have redesigned the 4low, evidentally there are problems with it. The dealership, sheets, says there's nothing wrong with the part again. Vehicle starts and dies, stalls in road, acts like it's going to stall and comes back, controls inside vehicle do whatever they want to do when they want to. Front signal light keeps blowing, and will not take a bulb, it blows them out every time, so when blinker is turned on the fog lights flash up front, like hazard flashers. The back passenger bulb has been replaced many times, and for now they are the only signals working, except for the ones on the mirrors. Fuel pump stays on sometimes after vehicle is shut off. Basically the vehicle is still a danger to anyone inside it, and to anyone on the road, due to the fact that it can cause an accident at any given time. The vehicle locked up in 4low/tow-haul mode, and then the entire transmission locked up. Had to come home approx. 1-2 miles at a very low speed, with hazard lights on, and then had to coast in driveway because the transmission had no gears, and locked up. Dodge really needs to recall this. If they designed this vehicle correctly the first time none of the maintenance would be necessary, and we would not have had to call Dodge so many times. If the problem was not reoccurring the issue would be resolved.

Incident date start: 11/02/2013. The vehicle would not start. The engine would turn over but there was either no fuel or ignition spark. Continued to try to start the vehicle but refused to start. After about 6 to 8 minutes of trying it started. The vehicle started every time after that but the next morning it refused to start. Again after 6 to 8 minutes of trying, it started and started each time for the rest of the day. This repeated itself each day. The dealer diagnosed it as the "totally integrated control module" failed.

Tipm=totally intergrated power module. This stops the vehicle from cranking properly. It keeps turning and turning after trying to use the push to start, it will crank, rev up and turn right back off if you use the key to start it, and it has already been flashed which did not fix the issue. I have learned from two dealerships that there is over 14,000 on backorder. They do not have a eta and they are trying to get consumers to pay for the vehicles if they do not have the basic warranty. I even purchased a extended warranty at the point of purchase and they stated that it is not covered. The cost for the part and repair they are trying to charge me is $1100. The dealership I went to advised me to contact Dodge at 1-800-423-6343 and I spoke with someone whom stated it was covered, it is noted in my file 3 times by 3 different people that it is covered and then I called the dealership to see if they knew when they would get some to get me on a list and they said it is not covered, had to start all over again with speaking with Dodge at the 1800 number and going back and forth. I have only had my vehicle for 10 months and of course it was more than 20,000 which makes me livid that I would even have car trouble this early in the loan. I am not going to stop until it is fixed properly and people should not be responsible for this it should be on recall.

We began having problems with starting the car on 7/30/2013. In trying to start it, it simply wouldn't go. After many attempts the car would finally start. We brought our 2011 Dodge Durango to the dealership where they identified the problem as a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) that was not sending the signal correctly to fuel pump. Now forward 6+ weeks and our car is still at the dealership. Apparently the tipm chip is on indefinite back order. Being told that because we're at 37,104 miles, there's nothing corporate can do. So the vehicle is still sitting there and there is no eta on when we'll get it back. . Tried to be patient and suggested a free rental but was shut down by corporate. At my wits end. . This is absolutely ridiculous that a part like this would go out on a two year old vehicle and there not be a replacement part readily available. Obviously with the "extreme" back order time this is a very common problem. I believe a recall is definitely in order from Chrysler corporation.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the rpm would increase excessively and the vehicle would not respond to acceleration attempts. In addition, the vehicle would jump and abruptly shift gears. The contact experienced the failure twice. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the gear shifter was replaced but the failure was not corrected. The failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 18,000.

Sound when the car stops and starts and when it passes through uneven floors, also when the car in the city and to and after a while arraco empiesa to change the transmission very strong and feel like hitting.
