Problems with 2013 Dodge Durango ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The vehicle would not start. i am now concerned that the vehicle electrical system is going to fail in route. if this happens then there is going to be an accident as the brake system and power steering will fail causing the vehicle to crash. are they waiting for that to happen before they spend the money to fix it? my family's lives are at stake here as well as anyone we pass on the road. it says in the recall notice that they are concerned with our safety but i beg to differ. i received this recall notice about 3 months ago with no follow up at this time! when i called chrysler about the fix they said that the parts were not available unless the vehicle had actually stopped working and had to be towed to their facility. really? *tr

Safety recall p60/nhtsa 14v-634 states driver will have limited or no detection of the alternator failing, which can result in vehicle shutdown while driving and/or an underhood electrical fire. received notice in mail november 2014. still do not have parts to fix. i am driving an unsafe car everyday and paying for it and nobody can do anything about it until i experience a crash. i can get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt and talking on a cell phone, but a safety recall on a car i am driving everyday, which effects me, my passengers and all cars on the road does not seem to matter to chrysler. *tr

There have been 6 recalls on my car. i have had my name on the waiting list at my dealer, only to be told it could be about a year. i keep getting recall letters as i'm waiting for one thing and no parts available for another. i always have children in my car and feel extremely unsafe to drive everyday. the weather is getting dangerous and one of the recalls is on my brakes. i was told, "don't worry, it should be ok until the winter." well, the winter is here and i still have about 6 months left on the waiting list. how is one supposed to drive and feel safe, knowing my car can "stall without warning", have an "under hood fire" or have my "brakes fail" at any moment while in driving? what's even worse is, there's nowhere to turn because everywhere i call "sorry maam, there aren't any parts.." great! now i'm lost and risking my life on a day to day basis. help!!! *tr

I received a safety recall (p60) from chrysler on december 4, 2014. it states that this issue may result in a vehicle shutdown while driving and/or an underhood electrical fire. as of this writing (1-7-15) i have heard nothing further on this issue and no one can offer an eta for the parts. we are in the dead of winter with wind chills in the -20 to -30 degrees f. i don't care to have the car shutdown during this time, let alone a fire. the recall states, "we're sorry for any inconvenience, but we are sincerely concerned about your safety." dodge/chrysler sure isn't showing their concern. please get involved so we can get this safety problem taken care of. *tr

april 2014 noticed loud sound and no brakes after going through carwash. shortly after i received the first recall on the brake line. phoned dealership but was told i was on a list and should be available july 2014. i've called several times but still not gotten the call to get my car in. had to take the car into the dealership for water pump - at that time the service manager looked at my brakes and told me i definitely had a problem and would move me to front of the list. still no calls. since that time i've received several more safety recalls on my vehicle but am never able to get an appointment. i've asked since i have to leave the car to get a rental at their expense. they refused. i work 40 to 50 miles out of town and this is the only vehicle i have. i'm already being put out having to take the vehicle in why should i also have to bare the expense of a rental car as well. it has now been well over a year, my breaks are still bad. i panic every time it rains. my vehicle has recently started causing problems on starting up - it won't completely turn over - but it just keeps steadily trying - it won't let me cut it off and it's like its flooding itself. i now have a large stack of recalls on my vehicle and no one will help me. i'm not happy with dodge and the lack of concern for my safety. i'm paying a car note for something that isn't safe to drive.

Vehicle was involved in a side impact that raised vehicle to approximately 30 degrees. body shop said airbags should have deployed. explained to the dealer on several occasions and there was no check done to confirm that airbags were in working order. dealer says that it obviously wasn't sufficient enough impact to deploy airbags. i'm not convinced after reading about defects. electrical system was addressed on numerous occasions regarding window going up and down, locking system and alarm system actuating on their own, while driving and when parked. dealer said they could not duplicate issue, but when it finally was proven, they repaired the window only and we were forced to pay to get outer vehicle back. i feel that there is an electrical system issue.

We have a 2013 dodge durango with aprox 1600 miles on it. i have noticed on two different days now that when i get into the vehicle and start it that the "reading lamps" that are up by the sunglasses holder located in the front top of the vehicle, i noticed that they are "on" ... and i have to manually turn them off. then on a different day i went to run errands, and i got in and out of the vehicle 3 times, and after all 3 occasions when i got back into the vehicle the lights were "on" again....there was no one in the car that could turned them on, and it was daylight outside every time. i'm not for sure what is going on but it worry's me a bit since i have seen these other people reporting lighting/electrical issues and possiable headliner fires! i see there is an open investigation with chrysler about this or a similar issue....i would like to add my incident to this as well...hoping they can get this figured out and find a fix to the risk/issue. *tr

My vehicle has been in the shop multiple times for electrical problems. a list of the problems include: tail lights burning out, seat heaters not working, rear ac not working, sunroof not working, side mirrors not working, seat adjuster not working, and some of the issues have happened more than once. every time they tell me it is a short that caused the problem. there is something wrong with their electrical system as i have seen many other complaints that match mine.

I have brought in the vehicle to the local dodge service center in naples because the lights on the dashboard go off when the wipers are in use. all of the lights including the time / radio station become dim. on december 26th although the lights are set on automatic, the lights did not come on at night. we manually had to switch so that we would have lights. we have also on two-three occasions an issue with the transmission and/or accelarator. the rpm on the car where very high and the car was basically not going over 35-40 mph. once parked and then put in drive again it worked ok until the next time it did it. the local dodge service center claim they did not find anything wrong and initially blamed the light issue on a sunpass because they saw the suction cup marks. however the sunpass is not always in this vehicle and the times that lights have dimmed the sunpass has not been on.
