5 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2016

The 2016 Durango rented from enterprise repeatedly, increasingly but intermittently and without driver input, changed gear, revved and indicated on the screen that there were issues with "key fob not in vehicle and "tires pressure". At first their were three very brief incidents lasting less than three seconds over a week, occurring at idle and when accelerating. Later the occurrences lasted sometimes over 20 seconds each and happened sometimes several times per hour, increasingly worse. While there was clearly an issue with the shifter, there appeared to be additional or related issues with the electronic brain. Resetting the options, like shutting off the hill climb option which it was set on before we rented it seemed to help at first but did not. This was dangerous and disturbing. Finally, the car lurched out of park and hit a wall on its own from a few feet away. I have photos and will give more information. These incidents occurred at various times, and seemingly more in the rain and fog, though not exclusively. They occurred once when leaving a stoplight at a low speed turning left, on the freeway, on streets around 30/35 mph and at idle at full stop. Most occurrences were while driving on regular city streets where we did most of the driving on that trip in san jose, monterey and carmel. The worst was right before the pebble beach concours d'elegance, after I had driven north from san diego on a continuous freeway drive in the rain. It may just be a coincidence, but all three of the first instances in the first week of rental occurred after at least an hour drive on the freeway. In san jose, I immediately requested a replacement car but they had none. The second driver immediately noticed issues with the car, but we were told there were no other cars available. I think either the computer circuits were corroded and/or damaged or damp.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2016

After purchase, immediately we started having problems with headlight not working, then a rear light and brake light not working. Took in for recall on another part and they discovered it was the electrical, while driving and sitting at lights. Lights on dash, radio, headlights, etc, not work properly or all sudden decide not to work at all. We've taken it back now 5 times. Mechanic says the whole wiring harness is bad and cannot be repaired, but continues to say they called Chrysler for parts to try to repair. While my 83 yrs old dad who bought the car, left sitting at the dealer for 4-5 hours every trip and no rental vehicle available from enterprise or hertz. After sitting there 5 hours today, we had to leave vehicle. This time, we are ready to call attorney for lemon law in missouri.
