| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
This is about our 8th, of a fleet of 14 police Durangos, all 2021-2024 to have the oil filter housings have failed, causing engine oil and coolant to mix, making the car inoperable. This has been brought to the attention of Dodge, and they have told me it is a very common problem, yet we have no recalls yet and this is on agencies, and I assume personal vehicle owners too to repair. We just had another car, ill write up next, that had the same failure, causing engine to blow while headed to a priority call. This is an known problem and stellantis needs to be held responsible for past repair costs, and a full recall of all faulty parts.
