We have owned our 2013 dodge durango since it had 30 miles on it. It has 60,000+ miles on it and for the last year it has failed to start on multiple occasions. We took it to the cerritos dodge dealership and they said it could be 2 things. One is $900+ and the other is $1200+ to fix it. Why should we pay for something that comes faulty from the manufacturer? This is not oil or a filter that needs changing every few…

After the stall, we brought it into our local dodge dealer (dutchess dodge) where the…
