When driving the vehicle it will randomly begin to stall when driving and power off. once you let you sit it will start right back up kind rough and then drive fine. then couple days later it will do it again. my wife was making a turn when it stalled and almost got t boned. we took it in for the fuel pump recall but no parts have been pushed out for this recall nor have been made. they told.us to just keep driving it even though its asking g for an accident to happen. i asked for a replacement car and was denied and was told i can take it to another dealer but they said the same thing.
I have reported this before. my vehicle stalls out while driving. i have taken it to the mechanic a number of times but nothing fixes the problem. this is a very dangerous situation and it happens with my children in the car. when my vehicle stalls out while driving the steering wheel also locks up making it difficult to direct the car. it has happened a number of times while driving and pulling up to a stop light. this started about 3 years ago but i'm putting the last time it happened as the date.

It goes into 4low without turning the switch on. makes it unsafe to turn sharp and fast. we replaced the transfer case switch and it still does it.
The 4wd message starting displaying on my dashboard, the awd/lo neutral light was on, i tried following the instructions in the manual to turn it off, but it did not work. when i pulled into my driveway i tried again to get the message to shut off by following instructions then my car began to go in reverse, my breaks would not work, and i had to put the emergency break on. even with the car shut off the car will roll, i have kept the emergency break on and waiting for a mechanic to look at it. based on my research this is a common issue with the durango's and dodge has done nothing to recall these faulty switches. this is a major concern as i could have been out of my vehicle when it started to roll causing danger for anyone around.
Periodically no start which leaves me stranded very far from home when traveling for sp. med. care. this summer i was crossing an overpass to enter the on-ramp to major interstate which makes me cross in front of 4 lanes oncoming traffic and my car just died!! i was headed directly for the oncoming traffic with my family onboard. i was stranded in 100+ degree weather being disabled was very difficult for me now with 2 teens needing driving hrs for permit i'm terrified to allow them to drive my only car. dodge you need to recall my entire car and replace this with something safe for my family!
The actuators for the air condition going out.
My 2011 dodge durango has trouble starting on the first start. mechanic said there was a bulletin regarding the issue and informed me that we should try updating the software. that did not work. durango continues to sputter when it is started. it eventually does start either on its own or after another try. will attempt another solution at next regularly scheduled service.
Vehicle battery light came on while driving. two miles later shut off with no control over steering or braking. vehicle had a faulty alternator which was not covered by the t36 recall. alternator overheated, ruined the battery and pcm. the alternator was sending reverse polarity when trying to jump start. this is a known issue with the model years. it should be covered in recall and isn't. this part has ruined my whole monthly budget and is chrysler's fault.
The battery light came on while driving 45 mph. before i was at a place to get off of the highway (two miles) the vehicle lost all power and completely shut off. so there i sat in the middle of the highway waiting on a tow truck. the 220 amp alternator had the faulty diode like the ones that have been recalled. the diode failed and caused a dead short. the alternator short ruined the battery and the pcm. this is the t36 recall to a 't' but dodge says my vin number shows it's not recalled. the parts and labor were 1411.88. that's not including the tow service bill or the rental car that i had to use. this is ridiculous that chrysler is being allowed to rip people off knowing full well its their worthless parts at the root of it all. no government agency should sit by and be a spectator as chrysler robs thousands and thousands of people at over 1000 each. somebody needs to take responsibility for their mistake and quit sticking it to the people who were foolish enough to buy this garbage.
