Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchased my vehicle 10/2019. Since then I have taken to repair shop for vehicle stalls when coming to a stop or at a stop, let along when slowing for a stop. Then RPM's drop! I have almost been rear ended multiple times due to this, with my children and grandchildren in car!!! The shop I've taken to can not find out why this is happening. Granted we tried replacing hoses, valve gaskets tune up. I feel there should be a recall to find and fix this before a serious injury happens. This has also happened as I was driving and I had to put in neutral to restart. …”

“The problem originally started about 2 weeks ago. When I switched on the rear fan (heat or AC did not matter), the entire center console (radio, blower switches, and electronic 4wd switch) would go completely dead, and the service 4wd light would come on. Then this started happening when I turned on the front blower or the rear blower. Then it started happening with both blowers off and the headlights on high. Now it does it spontaneously for no apparent reason with all extra electrical components (the headlights, radio, and blowers) all off. …”

“I have a 03 Dodge Durango with about 98,000 miles. I was taking my child to school and the oil pressure dropped to zero. I had it pulled to a shop. They have pulled the motor, checked it and the oil pump and pick-up tube. Everything looks good. They do not know what is wrong. I have been doing some research and everyone I have spoke to, say this has been a major issue with this motor.there is a lot of complaints on the internet with people in the same situation. We pay a lot of money for these vehicles and I don't know why something cant be done or why they cannot find something wrong. …”

“1. The headlights, parklights, foglights, interior lights, door lock switch, 4wd, key fob, or intermediate wipers would not work at all. Luckily the vehicle was at a low speed and not in motion on a highway when the incident took place. 2. It only occurred one time, but what if I had been driving on the roadway. 3. The central timer module (ctm) was replaced.”
