The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. While driving 25 mph exiting the freeway, the vehicle started to accelerate and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact continued driving and did not coast over to the side of the road. The contact stated that the vehicle shook violently while driving. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to turlock Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1600 auto mall dr, turlock, CA 95380) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be upgraded. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While at a stop sign, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, restarted the engine, and was able to resume driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. A twenty seven point inspection was performed. The contact was informed to drive the vehicle until the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,599.

While driving the vehicle will suddenly lose power there are no warning lights to indicate that anything has gone wrong. I have experienced this at various speeds I am forced to find a safe way to get on the side of the road to put the car in neutral and restart the vehicle. It has happened on both highway and side roads. I am unaware that the car has lost power until I realize that my power steering and brakes don't work.

The transmission cooler was found to be leaking severely. Luckily noticed before overheating and damage to the transmission.

Upon arriving home, a strong odor of electrical burning was present coming from the engine compartment. The electrical light came on and smoke was visible coming from the engine compartment. The car was parked in the garage and was immediately turned off. Similar to recall p60; however our car was not included in the recall because of a different alternator and slightly different engine type.

Motor shuts off traveling down the road (happened 3 times since 2016). Twice on a curve 30 - 40 mph & once down a straight away 60mph (scary).

My Dodge durando 2012 have to many problems my car stop withn is running several times a take to dealer the change the fuel pump and the nex day have enegine ligth take back to dealer now the said is catalyst , and arent but my car 2012 I believe is not to old to have to many problems I believe it's all factory default.

I was in the process of turning left at an intersection. As I turned the wheel locked up and the car slowed down and eventually stopped. I had to veer to the right as much as I could. I put the car in park and when I started it again, it shook. I proceeded to drive home. Due to it being night and where I was positioned, I couldn't record the issue, but I did document the mileage.

I was in line to turn left under the underpass. When I pressed the gas, the vehicle would not move. The wheel locked up as I tried to move forward. I had to turn on my emergency lights and signal other to go around on the right because no one could pass me on the left. I put the car in park and restarted it. There was no dashboard light to indicate that anything was wrong. My son was able to record and show that the vehicle was still in drive and not moving. I contacted the area manager to ask if this known, unsafe vehicle could be bought back at the highest nada value. His response was, �I'm not offering a repurchase. � he shared that he would get another technician personally involved. We just received the car from the shop on Wednesday, January 25, 2017 after the entire tipm was replaced and it stopped again!.

As I was turning left into a community the steering wheel locked up while the vehicle was still in drive. I immediately put the emergency lights on. I put my foot on the brake for safety while the vehicle was still in drive. I lifted my foot from the brake and the car remained still. I pressed the gas pedal and the car remained still. I then placed my foot on the brake again and it was stiff. When I pressed the gas the vehicle wouldn't move while still in drive. I placed my foot back on the brake and put the vehicle in park. I pressed the engine button and the vehicle engine came on. I turned the emergency lights off, put the vehicle in drive and continued my destination. I have a video, but it exceeds the upload size for this site.

I had just exited an uphill ramp after coming off the highway from about 65 mph to 35 mph. After entering the ramp I had to stop at a red light. When it was time to turn right, the gas would not accelerate the car and the steering wheel had locked up. I had to restart the vehicle in order to proceed with my route. This is the sixth time that this has occurred while the vehicle has been either in motion or turned on in the process of driving.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. While slowing down or while at a complete stop, the vehicle lost engine power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but they did not resolve the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 83,000.

Recently the starter has failed 2 days after the recalls have been updated at the dealership relating to the alternator and the fuel pump relay. The SUV only has 24,271 miles on it. The vechicle was stationary when it failed.

Alternator failed and needed to be replaced along with battery. Please see recall p60 (NHTSA action # pe14022) for similar recall for this vehicle. Mine was not included in this recall but, recall might need to be expanded for my VIN. Car without warning would not start. Completely dead even electrical. Had to be towed to dealer. Car has less than 30,000 miles, less than 4 years old and well maintained.

My issues began last November with the lift gate. While driving through my neighborhood, the lift gate decided to open. Alarmed, I stopped quickly and closed the lift gate. After I arrived home it would not open again. This continued for a week. The latch, interior button, and key fob would not open it. I scheduled an appointment and it magically started working fine just 2 days prior to the appoinment. The second issue we experienced came shortly after. The car would shut down after using the remote start after a few seconds. I found that the engine light was illuminated and re-tightened the gas cap. The light did not shut off, so I decided to take it very easy and monitor the vehicle for the rest of the day. The light eventually turned off. A week later and it is back on again. Not sure what is going on as everything appears to be fine. My wife drove my son to basketball practice and said she witnessed the heater turn on all by itself (after having been shut completely off). She turned it off and didn't give it much thought until it did it again. It continued to do this the entire drive to practice. It seems like this vehicle is possesed and I think this is just the tip of the iceburg. Hopefully, something dangerous will not happen with some other system.

For the past week our vehicle has been having trouble turning on some times the engine is going but the vehicle is not on. Today my husband was driving down the freeway going 65-70 mph when the engine turned completely off with no warning he was on the fast lane so he had to safely go to the right lane to a safe place before the vehicle lost anymore speed and cause an major accident. He tried turning it on and did with trouble and was able to move it out of the freeway. I called the dealership and they are stating it will take 1- 12 months to get the part for the recall for a permanent fix or we would have to pay for a temp. Fix. What can we do?.

First incident: I drove about 80 miles out of town. Once I made it to my destination I returned to my truck to find out that the doors wouldn't unlock. I was able to take the key out of the remote to open the door. My truck wouldn't start. It was towed to the nearest Dodge dealer. I found out that the alternator had a recall and I was experiencing a known problem. I had to purchase a new battery and they replaced the alternator. I drove 5 minutes away from the dealership and my truck started to shut down on the highway. The sensor lights started coming on for the battery, breaks, etc. And the windshield wipers came on. After about a minute later my truck completely shut down. It is back at the dealership and I'm waiting for solution.

I bought my 2012 Dodge Durango 3 weeks and it is not starting properly. I used the keyless remote entry and starter but the car will not start or sounds like the starter is stuck. I have to turn off the car and try again. It will normally take 4-5 tries just to get the car started and it depends if it will continue to run. I am not happy with this and noticed multiple people have the same problems.

The car hesitates to turn on and the battery has been changed, the fuel pump remains running when the car is turned off.

Pulling out of our driveway accelerated the car died. Pushed it back into the driveway where it now sits . Cannot let my wife drive a car that I got for her as a present. It does start but I found out that the fuel relay on this car is subject to failure. Chrysler Jeep Dodge has to replace the whole tipm (fuse box ) because all the relays are made by the same company, omron. They proposed a patch for this fix not acceptable. . Read more...

October 15, 2014 I was driving my 2012 Dodge Durango crew to work. While driving my engine completely failed without warning, causing me to drift into a concrete retaining wall. My car immediately went to the body shop and was inspected by my geico insurance. The damage totaled $5500, $500 of which was my deductible. Unfortunately, a part needed to repair the body was unavailable, so I was told I would need to drive the car for an estimated 3 months until the part was available from Dodge. I was clearly uncomfortable driving the car because I knew it malfunctioned. I took the car directly from the body shop to my local Dodge dealership. Please note ***geico insurance deemed the car "safe to drive" and refused to give me a rental. I took the Durango to the dealership and they kept it for 24 hours and dismissed me telling me nothing was wrong with the car. Neither my husband nor I were satisfied because in my 17 years of driving I have never been in a car accident and knew something was defective. Since then, I have started the car a handful of times, and it will immediately shut down. I just received the safety recall number r09/NHTSA 14v-115. This safety recall relates exactly to what happened to my Durango. I have small children that I drive with in this car, refuse to get on any highway with it for fear of it shutting down at 70 mph, and Chrysler refuses to correct the issue. I have proof of the $5500 in repairs, I have proof of the $500 I spent on my deductible, I have proof that I took it took a Dodge dealership, and I have proof that my car insurance rate has dramatically increased because of this claim. I'm stuck with an unsafe vehicle, no one accepting blame, increased insurance rate, $500 less in my bank account, and a car that in good conscience I can't re-sell. I would greatly appreciate any direction to get this injustice finally solved. Sincere thanks.

Car was having trouble starting for a few weeks. Then once started, was sputtering, then car completely stopped working in the middle of the road. Took to dealer and were told we had a faulty tipm.

2012 Dodge Durango crew with a v6. Engine died while driving down the highway. I lost power steering and power brakes, but managed to get out of traffic and let it coast to the shoulder. The engine would crank, but immediately die. After a few attempts, the engine began running smoothly. Since then, it will occasionally not start (the starter turns over, but the engine will not run). No codes are displaying when hooked to a computer. A mechanic told me it was the tipm and I would have to take it to a dealer. After looking online, I found many other complaints for the same problem. Engine seems to have a better start record if I turn the key on and wait 2 seconds before starting vs immediately trying to crank the car as soon as I insert the key. Remote start rarely works now. My main concern is the engine dying while my wife is driving in heavy traffic (she is the primary driver). To me, this is a much more pressing issue than the current recalls.

I have been experiencing issues with vehicle not starting with both the inside push button, and the remote start. It has lost power while driving twice, however I was able to maintain control of the vehicle. Yesterday however, it lost power, I still had control of the vehicle while it was shutting down, then it "powered" back up, during which there was about three seconds in which I had no control over the vehicle. I simply lost all control. I believe that the vehicle may be experiencing problems related to the fuel pump relay, possibly the tpim, alternator, or a combination of all three. I am taking vehicle in Monday to have two recalls done for brake booster, and vanity light wiring issue. At that time they are going to do a diagnostic on it to see what the issue is.

On several occasions my 2012 Dodge Durango would acted like it was having a hard time turning over when I would start it. One time all of my auxiliary lights lit up and then the entire SUV cut off. After I had my oil changed 09/08/14 my 2012 Dodge Durango started having even more issues with starting up . It would take me anywhere from 3-10 times to get it started. I heard a sizzling sound under the SUV after I had parked it and got home. The next morning the entire SUV was dead. My neighbor was able to jump start it, so I went and purchased a brand new battery. It still had issues starting, but after several attempts it would finally turn over. It even completely cut off on me while I was sitting at a stop light. Last night I heard the same sizzling sound somewhere underneath my Durango and this morning it was completely dead again. This time it wouldn't even turn on even after giving it a jump. Obviously it¿s not just me. This situation is so unfair because right now my car doesn't work at all and the dealership is acting as if they have no idea what i¿m talking about. If I was able to ¿easily� figure out there is an obvious issue that we are all having just by doing a simple google search, you would think the ¿experts� responsible for selling me my car and working on it would know too. Individuals and big companies who take advantage of moral correct people always end up losing in the end. I hope they do the responsible thing and recall the faulty tipm associated with all of our vehicles with no charge to us.

I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when I retry it. I received a recall notice ( r09 / NHTSA 14v-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that I may experience a problem while I am on the highway.

Initially in early July, 2014 my 2012 Dodge Durango developed a computer failure causing the battery to eventually drain, loss of engine power and ability to maintain or accelerate. Repair was made after the vehicle was towed to the local Dodge dealer, manfredi Dodge, staten island n. Y , and subsequently the battery repaired and the computer replaced. Shortly after the repair was completed the passenger airbag failure light would intermittently illuminate and the vehicle occasionally would not start. Another trip to the dealer and the passenger seat airbag sensor was reported faulty and the vehicle tipm sensor needed replacement or repair. Conferral with the dealer suggested that the tipm sensor be replaced rather than repaired to assure longevity of the repair and overall satisfaction. Vehicle is a lemon!.

When trying to start the vehicle using the pushbutton, the vehicle will start trying to turn over but never start. On some occassions when vehicle is trying to turn over, the vehicle will start shaking violently like the engine is about to come off. I have caught the whole scenario on video. It was every now and then in the beginning, but happening more and more as it goes on. Hopefully there will be a recall to fix this problem soon.

Push start button, car gurgles, spits and sputters. Told to try to drive vehicle because they need a code. Put car into gear instantly died. Now at dealership, could not replicate the problem one month ago, has had it for two days before it died on them. Ordering a new tipm after we found online the same issue with multiple Chrysler/Dodge vehicles!.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000.

Twice in early February, 2014, the engine (v-6) stopped running and the cel popped up. The first time I was cruising at 50 mph and the cel came on and the rpm went to zero, but as I coasted to the side of the road the engine restarted by itself at about 40 mph, so it was off for less than 10-15 seconds. The second time, I was backing out of a parking space. After moving about 6 feet the engine died and the tach went to zero and the cel came on. I turned everything off and restarted the engine and continued with my errands. In both instances the engine was at operating temperature and the fuel tank had at least 10 gallons. The dealer checked the car but found no codes to identify this problem.
