1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2020

My car is currently one of the cars in an open recall with Dodge for the fuel pump relay. I had the fuel pump relay replaced last week 8/10/2020 since that time the car was driven maybe 4 times. The car was parked for the last four days in my garage I tried to drive it today and it stalled after 15 minutes while I was driving thankfully in a parking lot. I attempted to put a new relay on the fuel pump relay wiring harness but it still would not start. After about 5 minutes I would assume the wiring harness cooled enough I could get the car started and thankfully I was only 2 minutes away from the dealership. My car has been at a dealership three times since June 10 and twice in almost 2 weeks. The manufacturer is not helping and is telling me I have to work with the dealership. They are at a lose for what to do since Dodge is not giving them any direction. The car is not reliable nor dependable and currently has a recall on the fuel pump relay to fix the recall that did not work. I would really appreciate some assistance I cannot be the only one with a Dodge vehicle from this recall that is not have issues!.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2019

I was driving down the road and the car lost all power and I was lucky enough to get it off the road to a parking lot before I was involved in an accident. The car then started sputtering and spitting like it does when there is an issue with my tipm. It took 20 minutes and removing the fuse from the fuel pump relay wiring harness to get the car started. I have had the tipm replaced before the mandated recall on the issue and the class action lawsuit. I also have had the fuel pump relay wiring harness added and replaced within the life of the vehicle. Yesterday I was told my battery which was 19 months old, the old one lasted me 6 years, needed to be replaced when I took the car in for an oil change. I replaced the battery even though it tested perfectly fine at the repair shop it was purchased through. Now the car is exhibiting the same symptoms as before my tipm was replaced and nearly caused me to get in an accident yesterday!.

The totally integrated modular engine (time) has had many problems since the purchase of the 2012 Dodge Durango. The SUV has stopped dead while in drive on interstate 95.

I have been given a rental car 4 times for an approximate total of 30 days to try to rectify the problems. I have 4 recalls for various issues and none have been fixed due to parts are not readily available. Recall id's - April 2014 service brakes and brakes hydraulic anti-lock #102663, #102664, #102298 and July 2014 105085 - electrical system wiring. There are several class action lawsuits against the Chrysler group, llc for the 2012 Dodge Durango. I no longer feel safe in this vehicle, I can possibly cause an accident or someone can hit me with all the problems and potentially hurt myself or others with all the recalls and engine problems.
