NHTSA complaint #11241560, filed 2019-08, 118,000 miles“This is the 3rd time in the past 3 months I've been taking this vehicle to service for different service issues. The most recent one is the dash and whipers started going crazy, a sudden smell of burnt wires/electric burn. The vehicle shut down while in motion locking the steering wheel and the gear shifter didn't want to engage. I tried starting the vehicle but it wouldn't start. The vehicle is not comunicating with the starting key. …”
NHTSA complaint #11160908, filed 2018-12, 77,000 miles“My Dodge Durango stopped working one week ago.

After it was again towed for the second time they found that my car was now under the recall even though I had already told them there was an issue with my car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11019850, filed 2017-08, 80,000 miles“In my 2012 Dodge Durango it was determined that there is a problem with the total integrated power module which is affecting the way the engine starts and gets fuel to the fuel pump. The repair cost is $1213.71. It is my understanding that there are hundreds of documented cases regarding this issue in the chrysler line and nothing has been done to correct the problem. It is unfortunate that chrysler is awaiting a tragedy to take place before they do what is right for the customer and fix the problem that has been reported. …”
