I've had a few recalls on the truck. Several listed wiring. They've all been 'corrected' or checked by a dealer. My truck caught fire and burned all the electrical under the hood today. Less than a month since the 'electrical' recall was supposedly repaired. It was stopped but running at a gas station after a short [redacted]. *tt

Every 3 or 5 days, after starting the engine, it completely stops. All power is lost. In order for the engine to start again, i have to depress the ignition button and open up the driver side door! It seems like this is an electrical problem. I'm afraid the engine might stall while i'm driving the vehicle. Has there been a recall to address this problem? I bought the vehicle exactly one year again and this problem…

While driving on no more than 65 mph the engine has shut down for no reason, and with no warning. This has happened 4 times, and all 4 times the power steering and brakes don't work. Once the car has stopped and gear placed into park i have been able to turn the ignition and the car restarts. All four times the engine is the only thing that turns off, the radio continues to play.

This is a problem is alot of dodge vehicles with the pentastar engines. The valvetrain is a flawed design and is costing people lots and lots of money. My problem is the roller rocker arm is worn and ticking. Not a big deal right? How about $1900+ parts and labor? We, like most americans, live paycheck to paycheck and rely on our vehicles to get us to and from work. Now, why does a vehicle, with just at 100000…

We also found melted battery. Found this vehicle fell under the t36 recall from fca. We got approval at that time to repair the vehicle and received a case number for reimbursement. We had to call back multiple times to continue authorization,…

My wife was driving our durango when it suddenly lost all power. She had to muscle it to the side of the road, where she attempted numerous times to restart it. Prior to that, often times you would turn the key and the dash lights would come on and the car would do nothing...not even turn over. After a few attemps, it would start. After the stall, we brought it into our local dodge dealer (dutchess dodge) where the…

My wife along with our 4 children were driving down the expressway when our dodge durango lost all power. All the indicator lights started flashing on the instrument panel. If not for my wife being a safe driver god knows what could've become of my family. Car won't turn on says there is no key present. Wipers come on and off, ac blows hot air, doors won't unlock, radio turns on and off. It's very upsetting when you…

While driving my car surges at times. I can lose power at any given speed and then suddenly my car will jerk fast. Sometimes when driving slow to go around a roundabout it will just lose power and barely go. While at a stop but in drive, the motor will vibrate. This has been ongoing since i purchased my durango. Seems to be getting much worse. Only 54,000 + miles on it.

Vehicle looses power and stalls when approaching a stop (while still in motion). I have to place vehicle in park and restart vehicle in order to continue driving. I am very concerned that this is going to cause me to be rear-ended at some point as it does happen prior to me arriving at a stop sign or stop light. This has been happening for approx. The last 3-4 week and becoming more frequent. *tr
