“My 2011 Dodge Durango has trouble starting on the first start. Mechanic said there was a bulletin regarding the issue and informed me that we should try updating the software. That did not work. Durango continues to sputter when it is started. It eventually does start either on its own or after another try. Will attempt another solution at next regularly scheduled service.”

“My vehicle shuts off during turns and when slowing to come to a stop. It is frightening. I've taken it to a dealer who tells me they've never heard of this happening with my make and model yet I have read similar concerns as mine on the internet when I started researching it. Is there a fix for this before it costs me my life? It happens sporadically but once is too much.”

“My car cuts off sometimes when I'm coming to a complete stop and also does it when breaking to make a turn. Cuts off in the middle of a turn. Very dangerous. At first it was infrequent but its happening once or twice a week. Usually this happens on city streets, hasn't happened on the highway yet.”

“My fianc and I were headed to his parents house and when my fianc started to go left towards our turn and the Durango just died. Lights and everything were still on but no steering, luckily there were no other vehicles around as it could have caused an accident. Once he got the Durango stopped he put it in park pushed the start hitting and it started up just fine. Can this be related to the fuel pump recall?”

“Recall t36 2011 Dodge Durango while driving, my Durango began losing power. When I pulled over and lifted the hood, smoke was pouring from the alternator. It was towed to a mechanic, who informed me that the alternator burned up and my 3 month old battery was now dead. After the battery and alternator were replaced, it was discovered that the power control module was fried and would need to be replaced.”
