Vehicle starts then stalls out, or just cranks and cranks, and won't start. Happened a few times at stop lights after short drive. Was able to finally get started to drive to dealer, was told i could either replace the tipm for over $1000, or do a fuel relay bypass to the existing tipm for a little over $550. Same exact problem all the recalled durango/grand cherokees have, yet the 2012's haven't been recalled? Why?…

I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when i retry it. I received a recall notice ( r09 / nhtsa 14v-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that i may experience a problem while i am on the highway.

The issue began as i took my truck in for a recall on the brake system. I informed that i was having issues with the cruise control system not functioning. Since then the cruise control issue had a diagnostic that darcars is informing there is not issue but no replacement or suggestions have been presented. I began having problems with the push start around 8/1. When trying to start the truck it will not turn over…

Several times while driving, the electronic throttle light comes on along with the check engine light and immediately begins to jerk while on the freeway/surface streets. It nearly caused an accident once due to the drastic reduction in power and speed. Service people found nothing wrong and were no help. It has repeated this several times with my kids in the car. When it first happened, we were on a road trip 2200…

Initially in early july, 2014 my 2012 dodge durango developed a computer failure causing the battery to eventually drain, loss of engine power and ability to maintain or accelerate. Repair was made after the vehicle was towed to the local dodge dealer, manfredi dodge, staten island n.y , and subsequently the battery repaired and the computer replaced. Shortly after the repair was completed the passenger airbag…

Car sometimes will not start, or starts and quickly shuts off (sometimes in drive or reverse). If you push start button it tries to "turn over" revving but never starting. Has done intermittently but gotten really bad in may 2016 from every other day to sometimes several times a day. Dealer "can't find" problem. Date below first date dealer actually wrote down problem. Have all service forms and documents. Believe…

My durango has had many problems when trying to start it since i initially purchased the vehicle. I have taken it into the dealership about 7 times trying to figure out why it won't start on many occasions. I will also start and then shut down immediately. It is no longer under warranty and even after getting the r09 fuel pump relay fix i still have the exact same problem. After doing countless hours of research it…

The vehicle first had problems with the transmission and the dealer would not fix it because the check engine light was not on and chrysler wouldn't authorize. The vehicle would jump in reverse or roll and not go in gear. Later check engine light came on and it was repaired. Then the vehicle began having difficulty starting. The motor just continues trying to turn over. You have to turn the key off and try to start…

Sitting idle on a driveway vehicle began to smoke and smell. Punched gas three times and each time huge white blue cloud of smoke pushed out. Smell of burning metal came with cloud of smoke. Took to dealership where they at first could not recreate the problem. After placing the vehicle on an incline and starting it up they too got the smoke, and not just from mine but from another on the lot. They tell me that it…
