Check Engine Light On Problems of Dodge Durango - part 1

Phantom misfire can drop engine rpm and stall. Every possible sensor replaced. Fuel pump, injectors replaced. Entire ignition system replaced. There has never been a check engine light and while the phantom misfire happens a professional code reader shows no misfire and no history of events. Can happen at anytime, any speed. At slower speed the engine will cut off while driving causing a dangerous problem with loss of steering and brake hydraulics. Condition has been happening for over five years and I'm into this demon for thousands of dollars.

Check engine light came on. Code for cylinder 2 misfire. I've changed the coil packs and spark plugs. A day later light came back on for same code.

While driving check engine light started flashing. Received code for misfire on cylinder #8. Took to dealer, diagnosed as worn camshaft due to lifter failure. Initially quoted $4700 to repair, then told Dodge would not warranty the work due to possibility of metal shavings in engine. Recommended engine replacement for $10,000.

Car given to me by a family member in Nov 2019 with 135k miles, was the original owner, vehicle was very well maintained. Approximately Feb 2020, driving 70 mph down interstate, car acted like it died-lost all power for about 10 secs, then it came back to life. It was about a month later, it did it again. Mechanic replaced throttle body position sensor(?). Soon after, vehicle started to just die while driving. No noise, rattles, no check engine lights, just would shut off like the key was turned off. Didn't matter the terrain or speed, just while driving. Initially it would immediately restart. It seems to have gotten worse since the hotter weather. And it shuts down after driving about 20 mins when the engine has really warmed up. I finally noticed a no bus message on the odometer-which from researching means the computer isn't communicating. Mechanic unable to pull a code, said it's clearing itself out right after it throws it. Today went in, and we got lucky and hooked machine while car was running and it died. And the scanner would not recognize nor communicate with the pcm. Numerous issues with Dodge/Chrysler vehicles for this exact same problem. And it doesn't seem to have a single fix for it. Some a new pcm worked, some other sensors, one said just loosening the screws on the pcm worked for him, some nothing worked. This is so dangerous, car just shutting off without warning while you're driving. I can not believe this hasn't been a recall issue after 20 years. I see a lot of this model of vehicle on the road still, but it doesn't seem limited to just the Durangos either. It almost seems as if something near the pcm or the wires to it are getting too hot and causing an issue or even burning out the pcm. Did a reset by unhooking battery cable, and the car restarted this last time. This is dangerous for everyone.

Engine has cutout (turns off) while driving on 4 occasions. On all four occasions it has occurred while I was exiting a road/ramp. When vehicle cuts out power steering also does not work. In all occasions I have been able to pull off the road or stop before the road ends. The vehicle then starts right back up and functions properly. No check engine lights have come on.

In September 2019 after my check engine light came on and the vehicle was idling erratically, I took my 2013 Dodge Durango into a repair shop where I was told a fuel injector needed to be replaced. At the time I asked if they all needed to be replaced and was told not necessarily that they could last for several years before needing to be replaced. In December 2019, after experiencing some of the same symptoms I took my Durango back to the repair shop and was told one more fuel injector needed to be replaced and, this time the shop recommended that I replace the other five (5) injectors. I agreed to have them replace all five since it appeared that all of them may malfunction over the next several months. The day after I had the five replaced, my check engine light came on again. I took it back to the repair shop again where they told me it that the check engine light was not replaced to the fuel injectors and was most likely some other minor issue. A friend of my who also had a 2013 Dodge Durango had the same issue and was reimbursed for the repair.

The check engine light came on, so I took it to the nearest mechanic (not a Dodge dealership). They did a scan and the code said misfire, so they recommended a tune up. $500 later the light came on again. My son took it to Dodge who said misfire, left head. The v6 engine I have had the same problem up to 2013 and Dodge extended the warranty on the left head to 150k miles. They told us I was out of warranty by 5 weeks or 3k miles, so the repair would cost $2700. 00. I called Dodge corporate for help and was told tough, we cant help you. I believe this is the same problem as in earlier years. Now I have no transportation to work as they said not to drive it. Please investigate the 2014 v6 pentastar engine. Ronni scott, 631-294-5896.

On July 8, 2019, from a stop, light acceleration, the vehicle started hesitating as if it was misfiring or not getting fuel, up and down shifting, hard up shifting and the vehicle would not accelerate. The check engine light started flashing maybe 10 times then stayed off. Cut the vehicle off and restarted and ran as if no problems occured. Contacted dealership to scan the vehicle, they found no engine codes stored in the computer and stated to drive it until the check engine light comes on and stays on, then to bring it in for diagnostics.

My Durango hit 130k miles and the rpm where getting to almost 5k before shifting and this would happen on freeway and in town . Then a check engine light came on a p306 code is what it was giving me . That's a cylinder number 6 misfire so I had all plugs an new coil on cylinder 6 and put brand new injectors in and it ran good for about 5k miles and it happens again same p306 . I've replaced plugs again and same problem . My Durango is a 3. 6 I've read a lot on this and was wondering if this is one that has defective l head ? I've put so much money in this SUV idk what else it is I cant drive it for to long before its starts the misfire again .

I have experienced this incident several times. When it rains really hard or when the car is taken through the car wash, some how the water reaches the motor. It will start acting up (stalling) and have trouble "going. " it will then trigger a check engine light and the motor will die. I have had the check engine light checked while on and spark plugs replaced per the check engine light. It is very difficult to plan any type of trip with the threat of rain while driving for fear of breaking down. The car wash will completely kill the motor and takes several times to re crank. Once the car is dry, it runs perfectly. I have red several similar issues online.

Check engine light flashing. Vechile won't start, engine would not turn. Misfire with cylinder #7. Mds is losing compression causing misfire with cylinder #7. Vehicle shaking while in park.

This specific model I'm currently leasing is a limited model. I've had it for maybe 3 years. According to the manual, were only to use e85 fuel so that it could run smoothly. Unfortunately, not many gas stations where I live carry that specific gas type and not many gas stations in florida and other states alone, provide e85 fuel we are given no choice but to use the alternative gas. It's becoming a nuisance when we want to travel. When the check engine light first appeared the gas gauge also stopped functioning. The truck isn't able to reach a full tank. Something is preventing it. This is becoming an inconvenience for me and my family to have to search and go to just 2 gas stations miles apart from each other to be able to put gas in! majority of the times the gas stations that do offer this type of gas are down due to maintenance. Since I've been puttting in the alternative fuel which is the 87, the truck isn't functioning properly and now I'm starting to have all sorts of problem with my truck. It's a headache. I really love my truck and don't want to get rid of it. I had a mechanic check it out and was told that my my fuel injector and fuel sensor need to be replaced. The costs are expensive and I don't think it's fair.

I am original owner and love my Durango but since I have owned it I cannot drive in rain. The vehicle sputters and dies and check engine light comes on. I found several places online of people with same complaint and the issue is the original cowl. I looked and mine does not have a taller ridge around the wiper bolts or a ridge to divert the water from running into my engine. I need the 2nd generation cowl that was improved part #55362453ak our family always buys Dodge, my husband has the 1500 truck as well as my daughter. I don't understand why Dodge has not put a recall out on this issues that so many are complaining about. I have taken my Durango several times to the service dept. And they could never find the problem but online after seeing everyone with same issue and how they are repairing I know I need this part. I ran water directly over the windshield and as it went over the existing cowl it did indeed dump into my engine and started sputtering and shut off. I tried to find the part but they are costing $180 with shipping and another $130 to have installed. I need this part like so many other Dodge owners and there should have been a recall for this ongoing issue. It is not safe for us because the vehicles stall in traffic and we have to avoid collisions with other drivers as well as creating traffic jams. I have to keep my vehicle parked under a roof to avoid rain and I cannot drive when it is raining. This has been an ongoing issues since I have owned from 2004 to present.

The catalytic converter went bad 10/2018. The check engine light came on and the dealership performed a diagnostic testing and it indicated that the catalytic converter was bad and needs replacement ASAP. Within the state of PA. It is important to keep the emission system update within state standards. The cost was about $1,400. I check the recall status and there is no recalls listed.

2013 Dodge Durango r/t with over 100k miles September 21, 2018 vehicle was taken to a mechanic to find the source of the check engine light and ticking in the engine. The ticking was present when the vehicle was idling or driving. The check engine light came on when driving down the interstate. Two mechanics, a new engine, and $8,649 later the following issues were found with the original stock engine: "found lifter roller locked up and damage lobe on camshaft� and �metal in the oil pan�. After much research it has been found that locked up lifters are taking chunks out of the camshaft, and the pieces of metal that are knocked off are going into the engine. This is a very serious problem that could result in complete engine failure. Dodge needs to be held accountable for the defective parts.

I have a 2012 Dodge Durango with 110000 miles on it. Took it too the dealership because of a check engine light. The engine felt like it was running good. It turned out that three of my lifters were bad which also messed up the camshaft. Had to replace the engine because it would have been the same price to fix it, if the other side we're bad too. This is a known issue with Dodge and they refuse to fix it.

My vehicle stalls in the rain. It stalls at a stop or rolling speeds. It idles rough first and then stalls or shuts off. Sometimes the check engine light will come on, but not always. This only occurs in the rain. I've had several mechanics look at it, and they can't figure out how to solve the problem. I've spent a lot of money trying to get this fixed. Through online research, I've discovered that many other Durango owners are experiencing this same issue.

Check engine light appeared despite all scheduled maintenance having been conducted as recommended. Check engine light is p0520 engine oil pressure sensor/switch "a" circuit. Seemingly this is a faulty sensor/switch which has occurred in 12% of Durango vehicles of the manufacturer year of 2014.

Air bag light stays �on � on dashboard, had to take to service station to get it checked out , they told me to check if there were any recalls for this issue . Also the check engine light stays on , code is for evap leak , changed the gas cap , checked hoses , light remains after being cleared.

Bad cams in less than 100,000 miles. Engine misfire on 5th cylinder, unable to accelerate quickly, check engine light flashing. $4,700 repair.

Car was not experiencing any problems. Cranked it to go to work and the check engine light was on and there was a noise coming from the engine. Took to the dealership and first test indicated a misfire in #5. Changed plugs and filter. No change in car. Back to dealership and $150 diagnostic test revealed bent cam shaft.

Car has stalled twice and will not start. First incident happened Saturday 22 July 17 and the second incident Wednesday 2 Aug 17. Seems as it tries to turn over but will not turn on. I waited a few minutes before trying to turn on. When it finally did I, I could not shift gears and the brake seemed to be locked. I tried turning of vehicle, but it would not turn off. I finally got it to turn off and I waited again a few minutes before turning back on. My check engine light has not turned on yet and no messages have came up saying there are any issues. Both times vehicle was stationary. First time it had been off for an hour, second time it had been off for four hours. I believe that the alternator is the problem. This vehicle has had recalls before so I checked to see if there was another recall. There is one dated 10 July 17, in which it is describing the same problem.

The vehicle starts fine and typically runs fine, but stalls out randomly. This started happening about 8 months ago, and happens about 3 times a week now. Sometimes it stalls on the freeway at 60 mph and you lose power steering and brakes, but most of the time it happens when decelerating to turn a corner, which is really frustrating as you lose power steering and brakes and has caused me to go off the road or hit curbs if I can't muscle the vehicle through the remainder of the turn. Luckily I haven't been in an accident due to this yet, but it is only a matter of time. The check engine light is not on, and there are no issues with the dash lights and gauges. The Dodge dealer says they are not aware of any issues, but online forums show hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue with this vehicle.

I am experiencing a problem with the engine cutting off in full drive situations, all of sudden my check engine light pops up and that's my pre warning that my truck is getting ready to turn off. It is hesitant sometimes and waits till I am complete stop or sometimes it totally shuts down while driving in traffic. Very scary.

While on the highway I a check battery light appeared on my dash, I planned on checking into it at the upcoming gas station which was about 3 miles away, as I approached the offramp to the gas station all kinds of check engine lights and abs and you name it started showing in my dash followed by the wipers and next thing you know the car dies out. Lucky for me there was no vehicle in front of me because I could not steer or brake because it was very hard or locked, I managed to pull over just before the gas station and sensed the smell of burned wire, I noticed I was not completely off the road so I tried putting vehicle in neutral but it was locked in park, also my key was stuck in the ignition. Local mechanic changed the battery first and still had the check battery light on so he reccomended a new alternator as well which I bought immediately, 900. 00 later here I sit with new alternator and baterry but still the same problem with vehicle stalling and check battery light on. Dealer says my vehicle is not in the p60 recall even though I have/had the same 160 amp alternator as the recalled vehicles. This is a serious issue which can become deadly if not fixed ASAP. Im sure of one thing, never in my life will me or my family buy a Dodge again.

On October 2,2012 I purchased a Dodge Durango with less than 100 miles. . I have always kept up with scheduled maintenance. I'm still searching for all my paperwork. . I found paperwork where the check engine light was on at 81,552 -02/21/15--12/31/15--10/14/17--10/14/17---10/17/17--04/02/18. . I have spent over $3,000 dollars to repair the check engine light, now im told that this vehicle that I have paid approximately over $40,000 not including all the repairs will not be fixed and perhaps I need to trade it in for another vehicle. . I am extremely outraged with this company and feel I have been ripped off. This vehicle had and has a lot of recalls all which I have kept up on and still im not able to enjoy my vehicle. . I dont feel safe driving this vehicle anymore. . Engine shut down and even after all the money invested im still having problems. . I have all the documents relating to this engine problem. I would appreciate your assistance in this matter. . Thank you.
