Example complaints

“When cranking up my vehicle I heard a ticking noise, as I started to drive the noise began to get louder. I took my vehicle to the mechanic who informed me that I have a bad lifter in the engine it will cost over $2000 to get fixed or more. I only have 135,000 miles on my Durango citadel that is a 2014. I should not be having this type of engine issue this soon. I am highly upset about this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11328404, filed 2020-06, 135,000 miles“Chexk engine light has been coming on and off for the past few days. Got it scanned and the code the comes up is a p052 - faulty oul pressure sensor. After some research I found there are quite a few other models effected by this issue but only certain ones are being repaired without cost to customer. On my dash the oil preasure reads at 85%-100% at idle and stays at 100% when giving it gas.”
NHTSA complaint #11192617, filed 2019-03, 72,100 miles“I've had this vehicle for about 5 years, I barely hit 40k and I am experiencing a lot of lifter noise. With all the complaints I am surprised they have not recalled for this purpose. When it's stationary the sound is a lot louder than when the vehicle is in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #11322916, filed 2020-04, 39,000 miles“Mechanic stated it was a bad lifter in engine causeing a ticking sound. After extensive research about this issue, it has shown me that this is a recurring issue with alot of your Durango models and alot of complaints on this not being a recall on these vehicles. My complaint is that I have less than 88,000 miles on my vehicle and others with far less mileage having engine trouble and Dodge/chrysler will not recall and fix this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11299641, filed 2020-01, 87,740 miles“I purchased this vehicle in october 2016. The A/C when turned on blows hot air. After I start the vehicle and let it run a minute the air is warm. If I have been in motion for 5 minutes or more the air is hot as if the heater is on. No issues can be found as far as leaks or anything else. This has been an issue since purchase. The A/C was not used in october since it is hot but when I use the remote start the air will turn on but never gets cold.”
