general problems of the 2017 Dodge Durango

Runaway vehicle, police was called after car stopped and I was able to safely park it on the side of the freeway. Also a police officer on motorcycle came the the scene to make sure I was able to get a towing scheduled. Dealership currently confirmed gas pedal accelerator needing to be replaced.

Cruise control will engage and disengage. The cruise light will flicker on screen. When pressed it will not engage or come on at all.

When driving on the freeway I went to accelerate the car then begin to accelerate by itself even when I was hitting the brakes it would not slow down. Finally after a few seconds it slowed down. About a week after that started feeling like the transmission was having issues. Now I cannot drive my car. And this happened about three times with the acceleration of the car doing that by itself.

I have taken it twice to the dealership. There is an issue with the rpm and I receive several light on my dash. The most dangerous is when I try to speed the rpm goes so high and it stops driving. They told me it had something to do with the recall but the recall has expired so now I have to fix it.

Driving car on freeway when the computer locked up system of awd and sensors. The back tires would not turn and car started to jerk and slowed down. The dash board lighted up and all sensors said off off off . The mileage speedometer changed to kilometers and the mapping screen had the car going in a circle. The steering wheel was stiff and cars where passing me by. The car made a clunking sound when it first happened. I got scared trying to figure out what to do. I slowly got out of traffic and off the freeway to park the car. Had the tow person come and we hard time getting it to stay in neutral. I had to stay in the car so it would not shut off. When got it to dealers for repair the repair place said the computer must have reset itself and they could not find anything wrong?? I feel this is a big problem? this should be looked into as it could be life threating when driving along and the computer takes over like that and you have no control of the wheels. My tow person saw what it was doing also not just me. So I know it was happening. Something is wrong with that computer system where it just shuts down like that. It has done it before on a smaller area of just the high beam controls but this time it was the whole driving mechanizm. Please look into this problem. I would like to see a new computer or something done with my car so it is safer and more reliable. Sincerely, Jan milos.

I bought my car with 50,000 miles. I didn’t even have 55,000 and my car started have electrical issues with the speedometer, my dashboard started glitching with all the lights including an a with exclamation mark. I took it to the Dodge dealership in huntsville and said they couldn’t do anything about it since the recall seemed to be repair but they couldn’t clear the code. My truck has had the same issue with the recall. My car was never repaired from the recall. My vehicle is dangerous to drive on the freeway as I will get this code a! and the speed will automatically drop. I really need help as this recall was never resolved on my car.

The lights in the car are going off and on by themselves, the passenger window goes down without the window being touched. And the car will turn off when idling in the park position and the automatic shut off is not on or off.

I was supposed to have had recall service completed on my vehicle July 23, 2017. A few days later, I started experience a banging noise and shaking of the car. I contacted service to schedule an appointment and no one returned my call. A little more than a week later on August 4th, while driving between 40 and 50 mph, the car started making a grinding noise, lost power, slowed down as it started to sputter. The sounds and feeling, reminded me of driving a manual car and having it in the wrong gear. I have taken the car in to three dealerships, five times now. Only to be told, no codes were found so nothing can be done. Dodge needs to train its mechanic how to diagnose cars without a code and listen to their customers.

The contact owns a 2017 Dodge Durango. While the vehicle was idling at a traffic light with the automatic mode or stop/start feature activated, it lunged forward when the contact's foot released the brake pedal. The contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries consistent with a cervical strain and bruised ribs, which required medical attention. The occupant in the other vehicle suffered no injuries. The contact was able to drive the vehicle away from the scene. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,999.
