Intermittent no start condition/start and shut off at any time which started after vehicle taken to dealer to complete trans cooler condenser/motor mounts/radio replacement. Can happen at cold start or after vehicle has been driven. This has happened 6 times in a course of almost 3 months. Vehicle taken to scott robinson Dodge in torrance, CA 3 times for this issue and they are unable to properly diagnose and repair. Had me replace battery and starter. Condition still exists. Dealer is playing guessing games with the repairs needed for my vehicle. I asked dealer to check fuses and wires to tipm. I believe my vehicle is being affected by the NHTSA campaign number: 19v813000 and others which affected 2011-2013 Durango�s. Other 2014 Durango owners have complained of a similar experience. A random no start/stall condition is very concerning since that increases my chances of a stall, crash and being stranded. Multiple times I have had my children in the car scared because the vehicle will not start. If the dealer is unable to diagnose and complete repairs, then who can?? I have young children and this is my only mode of transportation. I am without a vehicle and no loaner given by the dealer. If it weren't for covid, I'd really be out of luck with no other means of transportation. Chrysler needs review and expand the current recalls to include 2014 models or maybe a new issue needs to be identified and brought to light. Vehicle issue started 09/05/20 and has continued since. SUV taken to dealer 10/09/20, 10/21/20 & 11/04/20 for issue. They also advised on my 10/21/20 visit that my exhaust manifold bolts are broken which is causing a ticking noise at start up. This was never diagnosed at previous visits and noise has been there. I have attached a more comprehensive report.
