Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our Durango randomly shuts off while driving or when we are idle. It happens a lot when making turns and I loose steering as well. Abs indicator on as well as check engine light. The check engine light usually shows o2 sensors or crank shaft sensors. Had both replaced many times and the issue still occurs. Very dangerous situation, as it is our family car.”
NHTSA complaint #11157281, filed 2018-12, 160,000 miles“2007 Dodge Durango limited, we took the car to get an alignment done in sept. 2010 at Dodge of blaine in mn. They said the left tie rod was loose during the pre inspection. We had it fixed. Less then 2 months later the left tie rod completely broke and detached from the tire. I was driving at the time with kids in the car. I've been told by the Dodge dealership that this is a problem that they see a lot of and Dodge needs to do something about but has not yet. Is Dodge waiting for a death lawsuit before they do a recall on this. This could be a very deadly problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10365730, filed 2010-11, 59,000 miles“I was leaving the gas station & the vehicle started jumping up & down like a bucking horse. There was temporary power loss as well as loss of steering. The vehicle displayed a bas/esp error & as well as a traction control error.”
NHTSA complaint #11161995, filed 2018-12, 199,000 miles“The car flashes 4lo consistently and, you can hear under the car when your not even driving the car switches into different 4x4's. When, you unlock the door it switches into different 4x4's. When, you go into reverse and, turn your wheel all the way the car locks and, you can't move unless you turn your wheel a different way. It also does this in forward. This is an issue that has been happening to other people and, Dodge still has not done anything about this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10485912, filed 2012-11, 196,000 miles“While driving the car I turned to park and it shut off. It has done this many times, while driving down the street. I am afraid to drive my kids in the car for fear it will shut off on the highway.”
