“On the 2013 Dodge Durango that I currently own which I purchased brand new in june 2013, the navigation and camera system goes completely blank while driving or backing up. The vehicle started accelerating while in drive gear, as well as the transmission fails to work properly and skips second gear, the vehicle also idles high and low while in operation of drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10560723, filed 2014-01, 20,100 miles“After my vehicle stalled while driving as stated by the prior recall, I have had the same problem as though my car will just stop running at any time. It is quite scary to think that I am driving a 'fixed' car and am experiencing the same problems as before. My car now unlocks and locks as well, which is a huge safety concern because I cannot keep safely any personal information in my vehicle or prevent it from being broken into. The intial recall repair did not fix the underlying problem. I am waiting for it to stall out.”
NHTSA complaint #11390051, filed 2021-01, 15 miles“When accerating from a stop or even slowing down to make a turn and attempting to get up to speed, the vehicle dogs like it wants to die. Even when getting from the one ramp to the highway there is a hesitation. The RPM's go down rapidly, then I have to press the gas pedal down to get the vehicle to kick in to get it up to speed.at one point, I had to press the gas pedal down to get the acceleration I needed to avoid getting rear ended by a semi. …”
NHTSA complaint #10836531, filed 2016-02, 12,277 miles“While parking my truck, I removed my foot from the accelerator and the truck accelerated unexpectedly, went over a curb, into a tree and back over a curb. There was over $19,000 worth of damage to the truck. A case was opened with Dodge/chrysler and the response was received over a month later indicating that this incident was not due manufacturer fault. This truck was also at the dealership 4 days prior to be serviced for recall campaign r09/NHTSA 14v-115.”
NHTSA complaint #10781487, filed 2015-10, 28,700 miles“Upon pulling out of my neighborhood from a full stop, the SUV was slow to accelerate. It seemed sluggish , as if it was not switching to the proper gear and had trouble speeding up. Caused an oncoming car to have to hit the brakes to keep from hitting me, when I should have had plenty of time to pull out, under normal conditions. This has happened numerous times. It also happens while I'm driving down the road and try to speed up. This is an intermittent problem. …”
