general problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango - part 1

Had an oil check in which they checked the breaks. Reported breaks as a 3. They recommended new brake pads. I only put 6000 miles on the car since I purchased it. It has 24747 miles and needs new rear brakes. I spoke to the service rep jake and he could not do anything to help with repair. Feel like there is a problem with rear brakes going bad.

Rear-ended into another vehicle. Car resisted braking.

Vehicle keeps staling on road while operating, and has the brakes sytem failure. No brakes, brake booster had failed and also has recall part for brake booster. . The safety of my entire family was put at risk, I almost crashed into traffic. Vehicle was taken to local dealership, was told fuel pump relay has recall. No parts available, one year later, still waiting and still no parts available. Vehicle has check engine light on. Its appear after brakes system gave out.

My car cuts off sometimes when I'm coming to a complete stop and also does it when breaking to make a turn. Cuts off in the middle of a turn. Very dangerous. At first it was infrequent but its happening once or twice a week. Usually this happens on city streets, hasn't happened on the highway yet.

Says incomplete recall, no remedy available for the fuel pump relay or brake booster. I have a problem currently with the fuel pump relay with my vehicle sputtering to start occasionally. Need to get this taken care of ASAP! car sits on sputtering after pushing the start button and sometimes won't shut off from that unless I relatedly hit the start/stop button again.

When driving at highway speeds and slowing down to stop or exit the road via off ramp or turn, the vehicle will randomly stall causing brakes and steering to become non-responsive. There is no warning prior to vehicle shutting down. It happens suddenly and randomly. It always appears to be when slowing down to exit a road or take a turn. I have to coast the vehicle until it stops and put it into park or neutral to start it again. It works fine until the next time. It has happened six times in the last month.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the contact almost crashed into the vehicle in front, while trying to press the brake pedal. The contact stated the breaks failed to respond, in addition the contact swerved to the left in order not to hit vehicle in front. The contact rolled vehicle into the grass to prevent a crash. The contact stated the brake indicator light illuminated. The contact called deery brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram iowa city located at (651 highway 1 west, iowa city, IA 52246 (319) 887-9000. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,875000. As.

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.

I was driving home from work at night. My battery light came on. Just got a new battery a few months ago when wiring harness was replaced, because of headliner fire, due to sun visor recall. So, I pull into a parking lot, all kinds of strange lights started flashing car completely lost all power, no lights no emergency lights, nothing! looked under hood and the alternator was smoking. Called corporate said it was a recall but they do not have a fix for it. I have to come out of pocket and pay for repairs and be reimbursed by Dodge. It also ruined my battery. Car is still being serviced so don't know if anything else was damaged as of yet. I will update.

My car lost all power!! while I was driving home from work at night. Would not even lock. No lights, no power at all. I was attempting to drive my commute home about 20 miles at night .

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v879000(electrical system, interior lighting) and 17v572000(service brakes, service brakes, hydraulics). Swope Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram was contacted and stated that they completed the NHTSA campaign number:17v572000(service brakes, service brakes, hydraulics) however the parts were unavailable for NHTSA campaign: 15v879000(electrical system, interior lighting). Upon leaving the dealership and conducting their own research the contact found the recall could not be completed in the 15 minute time frame after dropping off the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated the recall was still active under the VIN. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. Kh.

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.

Follow up to previous complaint, running out of characters and files not uploading. The vehicle has slowly but increasingly becoming harder to slow down. Day by by, the vehicle requires more and more brake pressure. Not a single dealership has parts for both outstanding recalls on my vehicle (t59- brake booster water shield and t-36 - alternator at exceptional risk of catching fire. ) mopar has no idea when the parts will be available either. According to the NHTSA policy for automobile manufacturers who issue recalls, they must do so in a timely manner. For t59, the water shield affecting braking ability being issues in November of 2017, coming into January of 2018 still with no parts is absurd even more absurd than that is the t36 recall of several different models, stating that the alternator can potentially catch fire which could also lead to a very devastating situation. That recall was issued in June of 2017 and it is January of 2018 and those replacement alternators are still not available. My car has become a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off and I do not feel like Dodge is taking these recalls seriously enough. I do feel like the braking issue recall has contributed to my accident in November, creating a point on my driving record, and now a dmv hearing for driving competency. The safety of my vehicle has been compromised severely, which compromises my safety, my passengers safety, and all of the other drivers on the road as well. Dodge/mopar seems to not care very much about these issues and keep referring me to the dealerships. Ive been trying to get in since November before my accident to have the water shield evaluated and brakes as well for damage. And given the history of recalls for my vehicle alone, the other 2 recalls for vanity mirror wiring potentially catching fire and also fuel pump failure, my Dodge met the criteria for both.

I have received a recall for the alternator diode thermal fatigue and still have not gotten any response to fix my vehicle. The recall for the brake booster was out September and here it is November and I have not been made aware of this recall. I found the recall on line.

Factory wired tow package not setup correctly. Built-in brake control wiring harness not receiving voltage when brakes applied/no voltage received from stop light switch to port/wiring harness.

Tamara recall vehicle won't start wiper keep going on and they are off it has a bad tipm the brake system makes a lot of noise.

Traffic slowing down in front of me, I applied the brakes and the pedal went slowly to floor and the brakes did not work causing me to hit the car in front of me, reapplied the brakes and they did work causing me to hit that car again. Thought that maybe my foot was depressing both the accelerator and brake so ii used my left foot, result the same. I did this many more times and the brakes did not work. I applied the parking brake and pulled off to the left side of the road when I was sure it was safe. This happened in a construction zone, I managed to avoid hitting any of the workers and the 3 trucks that they were using. One of the workers asked what happened, I explained to him and he tried the brakes, they went were spongy and went slowly to the floor. Checked to see if the driver of the vehicle to see if she had any injuries, she said she was alright. The impact was not hard because we were both going the speed. Called the michigan state police (refer to incedent # 31-10985-16 and crash report s/n 228890) no ticket issued. Called for wrecker to take the vehicle to the nearest Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealership. The dealer was garber, 5330 bay road, saginaw michigan 48604, phone # 989-399-8550, service advisor larry cook. They could not find a problem, they contacted Chrysler engineering. Left vehicle ove night, cause could not be determined. Brakes worked fine, brought vehicle home afraid to drive it again.

My vehicle push to start system sticks and the vehicle takes long attempting to start. My vehicle while driving has gone dead on me although the dash is still lite radio playing. The steering wheel stiffens and the brakes get hard. I have to struggle to pull over and stop in order to place the car back in neutral or park in order to start it again. It has stalled while in motion, while slowing down for a red light, while making a turn. I have had several near misses of other cars, curbs, and ditches. I use this car every day to transport myself and my children. I have had this car to the dealership numerous times, have had the tipm bypass and the car still hard starts and stalls despite the recalls. I am totally disappointed with this situation that is a definite hazard. Most recent complaint, my car has be idling high and now finally it overheat and the water pump has to be replaced. I am totally disappointed.

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.

Front brakes not catching.

I tried for 7 months to get the brake recall done on my truck. The awd did not work as it should during a snow storm. . Then the recall was recieved and none of the dealers wanted to repair the recall. They kept telling me they hadnt received the parts. Then there was a fuel type recall, a recall that the engine could shut off and some electrical issue that could cause a fire. . Again I couldnt get any of these repaired. Then on the night before thanksgiving 2014 my heat went. On Friday 11/28/14 I tried 3 Chrysler dealer ships to get the heat fixed and schedule time for the recall. One dealership told me I was at the bottom of the list because I didnt purchase the truck from them. I ended up trading in the truck for a Nissan pathfinder on that day. And almost a month later I received a bill from a Chrysler dealer ship who had finally completed the recall work expecting 165. 00 from me. I am so financially ruined from this.

I could not get any of the recalls fixed! 2 Dodge dealerships in my area would only look and not correct my brake issue. One dealership told me I was at the bottom of the list because I did not purchase my Durango there!.

The hasn't been an "incident" yet. I have a recall and was told by the dealership that they are only receiving 4 parts each week and have a waiting list of over 100 people. This is unacceptable! by the time I am able to get my vehicle fixed, I could have a serious accident by then.
