“Car randomly shut off in the middle of the road while driving, no warnings. Shut off could not steer as steering while locked up & could not brake as brake pad was hard and locked up as well. Got it to the side of road, it started right back up but shut off again not even 2 minutes later. Was able to get it off the road and started back up but puttered as all the lights flashed inside of the car. I had my kid in the car I am terrified.”
NHTSA complaint #11407831, filed 2021-04, 170,000 miles“Within about the last 6 weeks my SUV has been stalling while driving in heavy traffic areas which is highly dangerous & I lose all control of my vehicle I have contacted the Dodge dealership where I purchased this vehicle from & they are doing the bare minimum to correct this issue!!!! Knowing my vehicle has active recalls!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11057528, filed 2017-12, 60,290 miles“Vehicle looses power and stalls when approaching a stop (while still in motion). I have to place vehicle in park and restart vehicle in order to continue driving. I am very concerned that this is going to cause me to be rear-ended at some point as it does happen prior to me arriving at a stop sign or stop light. This has been happening for approx. The last 3-4 week and becoming more frequent.”
NHTSA complaint #10936493, filed 2016-12, 100,000 miles“For the past 2 months we have been having problems with this vehicle it's been stalling on me, weather if we are on the highway or in town. Now the amazing thing is that it comes back on, on its own without us touching anything on it, but on the mean time we lose the brakes and steering control at high speed on the highway. The dealer has done all the recalls on it in the past two weeks and still can't find the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10895413, filed 2016-08, 40,676 miles“My Durango stalls when I'm driving and restarts on its own. I had the fuel pump relay changed already which I had to pay out of pocket because Dodge doesn't have the replacement part. My vehicle continues to stall with out notice and am scared to drive it. I took it back to the dealership and they kept my car for a week. The car never stalled when the drove it around a few times. This car is very dangerous due to the fact that it stops at any moment and you lose complete power. At anytime you could crash without notice.”
