3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2021

The lift gate light housing assembly develops cracks due to design flaw, allowing housing assembly to fill with water and cause lights to malfunction. The housing assembly is available for inspection upon request. The rear lights of the vehicle are not functioning as intended and can cause rear end vehicle collision, which car cause injury or worst to the passengers. The problem has been verified by my local Dodge dealership and Chrysler has been made aware of the issue as well. They have replaced the housing assembly 2 times for me in the past but Chrysler has not actually done anything to my knowledge about the design flaw and root cause of the light housing cracking. I currently have water intruding into my now 3rd housing and this time both the dealership and Chrysler are saying they are not going to do anything about it and if I want the cracked housing replaced then I need to pay for parts and labor myself, but what is the point of doing that if its a design flaw and its only a matter of time before the new housing cracks again. I am not the only Dodge Durango owner with this issue, these are many other people reporting this issue on Dodge Durango forums. The vehicle has been inspected by my local Dodge dealership but not by any other entity. I don't have the maintenance records for the first time this happened, but my local Dodge dealership does. I think the first time the problem was reported was October 2019, and has now happened 2 more times.

6 Service Brakes problem

Engine begins to make a noise and the car won't accelerate, lights warning to brake start flashing when there is no reason to break.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2019

On 1/19/2019, I went to brake while driving my Dodge Durango, and the car violently shook, made a revving noise, and accelerated. My foot was to the floor and the car would not stop. I hit two cars in front of me, which was the only way the car actually stopped moving, and it wasn't until I turned the car completely off that the noise and shaking stopped. A case was opened with fiat Chrysler corporate office the date of the accident. A 3rd party company was hired to investigate the vehicle and pull date off of the electronic data record. That report was forwarded to fca for review on 1/26/2019. To date, no one from fca has contacted me regarding the status of my case. I call daily only to be told I will receive a phone call from someone, which has yet to happen. No name, number, or contact information has been given to me. I was told a letter was mailed out to me from the legal department with fca on 2/6/2019. To date, no letter has arrived, and when I asked corporate for information on who sent the letter, I am not provided a name or number of anyone I can verbally speak with. I was also told several voicemail messages have been left for me, but when the representative went to confirm my phone number, they admitted they had no phone number on file for me - so how could a voicemail message be left? this accident occurred in front of an elementary school, during school drop off. The outcome could have been much worse, and the fact that no one from a large corporation is communicating with me is appalling. I have a vehicle that is un-drivable, and I am still paying a monthly payment, even though I cannot drive the car. I need information on the status of my case, and no one is providing it to me.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2017

~October 2017, I was parked in my driveway with my daughter in the rear seat; I was getting ready to exit my driveway when I realized my key fob was inside the house. I left the car to go get my key fob and left the door open; by the time I got to my back door, my daughter was screaming (she was in her car seat) and the car was moving backward down the driveway, scraping against the house, into the street and across the road to the neighbor's house up their driveway. I ran after the vehicle and right before it struck my neighbor's garage, was able to throw my foot into the brake from the side while I fell on the ground. I was bruised and my car was damaged, but most importantly my daughter was fine but scared. I went to the dealership to have them take a look at the door/mirror and complained about the issue (this is referenced in the "action plan" for the visit), and the gentleman at the mike smith beaumont dealership stated that my vehicle must have had a quirk, because there was already an update available on that which they would test. When I came back to get my vehicle, I asked about the update, and he stated that he was mistaken; that only pickup trucks were getting that update. I asked why, because there's no less safety risk in a Durango (in fact, probably more children). He did not have an answer but said he would get back to me. No one did, and I complained to Dodge online. Eventually in August 2018 I got an oddly phrased notice that did not use the word recall but stated that "repairs" needed to be made. I wrote to Dodge again and asked if they would assist with the original problems to my door/window but they would not. I am disappointed that Dodge did not include Durangos in this obviously existing technology and disappointed that it took a year to take any action (which does not help my repairs). I am very grateful we were not more badly injured.
