Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Dodge racetrack lighting has cracks at upper left and upper right corners. Causing water to enter housing and short out a section of lights. Thankfully it has not caught fire. I see the same section of lights out on other Dodge durangos. The dealership told me the crack was caused by me and there is nothing they can do about it and the cost would come out of my pocket. When inspected the cracks are uniform in shape and size.”

NHTSA complaint #11416115, filed 2021-05, 30,000 miles

“The taillights have standing water in them and I have no clue how water would be able to get in there. The water will not drain and now it has caused a portion of my light to go out. After reading this online, I've seen a lot of Durango owners with this issue and I feel this has to be turned into a recall. I have only had my car for one year and I am no longer in the warranty but I feel this should not be an out of pocket expense.”

NHTSA complaint #11151080, filed 2018-11, 49,000 miles

“I was parked in my driveway on a slight decline and the vehicle was running and in park and I ran into the house to grab something and when I looked back it was rolling down the driveway and crashed and got stuck in between two trees. The vehicle is now totaled.”

NHTSA complaint #11084436, filed 2018-04, 68,525 miles

“Had pulled car into garage and thought car was in park. Had not turned rotary shifter all the way to park, so car was in reverse. Started to exit the vehicle and removed foot from brake and car started pulling backward. I jumped back into car and applied brake just as car door, which was ajar, struck garage framing, badly damaging door. If I had not been able to get back into the car I may have been killed because there was nowhere to move in the garage. Chrysler should automatically put these rotary shifter cars into park if vehicle is stopped and car door is opened.”

NHTSA complaint #11097570, filed 2018-05, 35,000 miles

“Electronic fuel door was constantly getting stuck and would not open unless the inside button was pushed multiple times. When I went to get gas, the plastic door popped off so the metal hinge is now visible and is an eyesore. This is a major safety issue.”
