I heard a ticking noise coming from the right side of the engine. Took it to farrish of fairfax, va (703-273-0200) dealership and they did the following, "removed valve cover and inspect valve train. Found worn out rockers on cylinder #5 intake. Camshaft lobe also worn out. Replaced right bank intake camshaft. " at the current level, we did not notice any drivability issues and fuel mileage appeared to be normal. We couldn't even hear the ticking from inside the car with the windows up and radio off. We could only hear it form outside the vehicle. This appears to be a common issue. The mechanic knew exactly what it was when I told him we had a ticking noise in a Durango. I didn't tell him the engine and he came back with "if it's a 3. 6 motor probably a worn out camshaft caused by rocker arm roller bearings wearing out prematurely. Bring it on in. . Read more...

1. Recently 2 weeks back my car during starting it cranks more time and after switch off and second attempt it starts. When starting with remote the engine starts normal with normal cranking. Battery voltage everything checked all ok. Dealer is telling may be fuel pump to check even they ask more money. My concern is my friend also bought same model car on same week purchased and when I checked with him he also have the same issue and problem came same time. That means the component have some manufacturer defect which will result in safety. Manufacturer should look into the matter and recall for the defect and fix due to same batch car have same fault or defect. 2. My car engine have some ticking noise which was noticed just after finished the warranty. So when checked with dealer hey told warranty finished this is valve lifter issue and it should be changed which the price is too high and I asked for just crossed warranty kilometer of 60000, it came around 65000 km and when I told dealer they advise to change and nothing can be reported I have to pay full and it wil not harm you can drive, now car drove around 118000km with that sound and now I can hear the sound is more this also some manufacturer issue which dealer did not notify the manufacturer teling just change the parts valve lifter and may be camshaft etc. If this issue us coming just after warranty period the company should take unti account the issue and find solution by recalling and fixing the issue.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that at start-up there was an abnormal tapping sound coming from the engine, without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who were unable to diagnose the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered online by other Dodge Durango owners that the defect was related to the engine lifters. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was provided a case number and transferred to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
I am at 92,000 miles and I have a ticking sound in my engine. While just in park you can hear the ticking sound as well as when you excel while driving. I do my oil changes every 3,000 miles and I seen this is an issues on a lot of other Dodge Durango models. Should this me a recall with this happening to so many?.
My engine has started making a ticking noise. I got online and did some research and this is a well known issue for this engine. Why has there not been some sort of recall if this is common?.
Rocker arms or lifters causing �ticking noise/ sound� at 113,000 miles. After online research, many Dodge Durango 2014 and later modes have same issue.
When cranking up my vehicle I heard a ticking noise, as I started to drive the noise began to get louder. I took my vehicle to the mechanic who informed me that I have a bad lifter in the engine it will cost over $2000 to get fixed or more. I only have 135,000 miles on my Durango citadel that is a 2014. I should not be having this type of engine issue this soon. I am highly upset about this issue.
When vehicle is running in park you can hear a clicking sound in the engine. When in park and you excelerate the gas the clicking sounds gets faster. When in drive the same thing happens. No actual issues with engine yet, but with research and speaking to other owners of the same vehicle they have had the same issue with higher mileage. Research and bringing it to a mechanic has come to the conclusion of a bad cam shaft and rockers. Total parts and labor would total close to $2,000.
Mechanic stated it was a bad lifter in engine causeing a ticking sound. After extensive research about this issue, it has shown me that this is a recurring issue with alot of your Durango models and alot of complaints on this not being a recall on these vehicles. My complaint is that I have less than 88,000 miles on my vehicle and others with far less mileage having engine trouble and Dodge/Chrysler will not recall and fix this problem.
I arrived home and parked my car under my carport at 8:30 p. M. At 12:20 a. M. I heard loud popping noises and smelled smoke. I went outside to see my 2019 Dodge Durango with 9,012 miles on fire. The hood of the truck was fully engulfed with fire. This fire caught onto the house and my neighbor's home.

Ticking noise when engine was running. Mechanic was familiar with noise. Stated it was a bad rocker arm. When it was taken apart found that the bad rocker had also damaged cam shaft . Ended up replacing all rockers and cams at a cost of 2400. 00. Mechanic also stated this was a well know issue with these motors.
Engine produces ticking sound from driver side engine head. Suspected issue is rocker arm or lifter. Ticking sound occurs at idle all the way through rev range, but seems to dissipate at highway speeds under load. If not fixed vehicle engine will expire.

Noticed a "tapping" noise coming from engine on right driver side. Acceleration of the vehicle was intermittently affected. Tapping noise would get louder at idle and vehicle seemed to be increasingly misfiring at times. This issue affected drivability of the vehicle especially in heavy highway traffic. The diagnosed problem: cylinder 3 missfire/seized lifter roller, ultimately leading to camshaft damage. After review/internet searching, apparently this is a common problem in 5. 7l hemi engines and attributed to excessive idling. I never had issues with my hemi until moving to virginia and subsequently sitting in traffic for extended periods of time on I-95 (excessive idling). If this is a known issue, why are consumers not made aware and moreover, why has there not been a recall issued to address the problem? this issue seems to span all makes and models of vehicles that use 5. 7l hemis, specifically Dodge manufactured vehicles.
Vehicle started have a ticking noise. So I took it to dealer. Dealer states I need new engine doe to haveing metal shavings in engine oil. Vehicle has 136000 miles on it the oil have been changed every 3000 miles dealer won't help with this issue and don't want 8600 for new engine. There are a many people with this issue.

Ticking noise from engine. Getting louder with time and when accelerating. Valve lifter bad. Need to be replaced. Told it is frequent problem by Dodge dealer for these models.
I was getting gas and as I pulled out of the gas station I was getting a load ticking noise. To find out later my 5. 7 himi lifter and cam shafts needs to be replaced. I get a regular oil change and filter change. I am not sure why this is happening but I did see that this is normal and 5. 7 himis Dodge Durangos and not understanding why it hasn't been recalled. I'm a mother of 3 little ones and I'm terrified we can get stranded if my engine decides to go out due to this issue.

My vehicle started making a clicking noise around 65k miles. When I scheduled my routine oil change at my dealership I was told that I needed to have my cam lifter and rocker arms replaced. I explained that this is an issue that should not be happening on a vehicle that is only 5 years old with 65k miles. They told me that this is going to cost me $1,800 to have the repairs made to the vehicle. Then I was told that if I have the 60k mile check up for $800 on the vehicle that Dodge will complete the repairs for free. After doing research online and speaking with other Durango owners I found that this is a known issue with the 2014-2015 Dodge Durango and should be addressed.
Rocker arms ticking sound and engine failure.
At 144000 miles my left cylinder has started to make a ticking sound. The makes the sounds at a stand still also while driving.
Rocker arm ticking noise 3. 6l v6. I believe the same recall that was put into effect for 2011 to 2013 3. 6 engines by Dodge should apply to other years with this engine. I've read that the 2014 engine is the same as 2011 to 2013.
Engine made ticking noise when running on every surface. Problem diagnosed as rocker failure.
Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. While operating the vehicle, a clunking noise was heard coming from the transmission. While driving approximately 60 mph, the check engine and traction control indicators illuminated. The vehicle suddenly lost power and would not accelerate properly. After stopping and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (lockmandy Dodge, 920 n nappanee st, elkhart, in) where the transmission sensor was replaced and the transmission fluid was flushed, but the failures continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was invalid.
The vehicle would always drive rough whenever it rained and would even die when going through a car wash. If it started raining while in traffic, I had to keep my foot on the brake and the gas when coming to a stop otherwise the vehicle would stall. After raining all night, I came to start my vehicle in the morning and it only made a terrible clunking noise without starting. Luckily, I was not driving in traffic when the vehicle decided to stop running due to rain, something that a vehicle should not irregularly and suddenly shut off over.
The transfer case make clicking counts when driving and while car is idle. It also makes these clicking noises while the car is off putting the car into 4 lo on its own. The car will sometimes shut off while driving low speeds and attempting to make a turn. The battery dies frequently after a week of not is use.

When I use the key less remote to start the car from outside my car it ideals for about 30 seconds or less then turns off. I try it again the horn beeps once then doesn't start. The radio settings reset on it's own which has happened several times. The console/instrument panel lighting changes from bright to dim when it's still light outside. One of the engine fans turns on/off more than normal and it's louder then it been in the past. I am noticing a ticking noise when the engine is started but no one can seem to find out the issue. Lastly, when accelerating the gas pedal the power lags meaning you can literally floor the pedal and it takes several minutes to get up to speed. All of these issues have happened several times and the dealership tells me there's nothing wrong. Something is wrong because the check engine like once again came on this morning.
During summer 2017, 5. 7l hemi started to make a noticeable clicking noise at 70,000 miles although it had been meticulously maintained. In sept 2017 at 72,000 the engine failed with a grinded camshaft due to a roller/lifter failure. The engine had to be replaced out of warranty by specialty hemi engien shop pro engines llc in elon, nc. Today, I am realizing that this was not a random occurrence. I have found many testimonies online and in person of 5. . Read more...

One day I was out shopping parked my car got out tried to lock doors they would lock unless I manually did it. The next day I noticed my headlights, inside lights, windshield wipers, and volume control on staring wheel would not work. That same day when I started my car it started great as always but there was a clicking noise on the driver side by the front wheel. I took it to midas they diagnosed it and fixed it, 3 days later my car did the same thing he told me to take it to the Dodge dealer. I've tried they wont call back! now there is a red security light that came on and wont go off even when the car engine is off. After 4 days of my car being parked with the security light on my car is now dead. I've read online that its a alarm system and I need a key to program it. I bought my car used from the dealer and did not receive an alarm key, alarm key pad or even a spare key fir my car. I see a lot of reviews online about this issue, this has been going on for 1 month or longer now. I believe its a factory issue. Im still going to contact the dealer and get an appointment to get y car fixed.
We purchased a 2004 Dodge Durango slt 4x4 sport utility 4-door about a year ago. We noticed that when we went through a car wash it would stall out. It progressively got worse and every time it rained it would stall out. Yesterday (8/4/2015) it started to make a loud clunky noise. The engine hydro-locked and we noticed oil dripping all over. We are lucky that this did not happen while we were driving or someone could have gotten seriously hurt or even worse killed. Now we have a vehicle we are still making payments on and can’t even drive. We don’t have the money to fix it.
