Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2011 Dodge Durango

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. while driving 50 mph or more, the vehicle stalled intermittently. also, when attempting to start the vehicle, it took approximately thirty minutes for the vehicle to finally start. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v813000 (electrical system). the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the contact called rick hendrick dodge chrysler jeep ram (located at 1468 savannah highway, charleston, sc, 843-352-6931), but they were not able to provide a repair or loaner vehicle. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and verified what the dealer stated. the approximate failure mileage was 193,000.

Noticed a "tapping" noise coming from engine on right driver side. acceleration of the vehicle was intermittently affected. tapping noise would get louder at idle and vehicle seemed to be increasingly misfiring at times. this issue affected drivability of the vehicle especially in heavy highway traffic. the diagnosed problem: cylinder 3 missfire/seized lifter roller, ultimately leading to camshaft damage. after review/internet searching, apparently this is a common problem in 5.7l hemi engines and attributed to excessive idling. i never had issues with my hemi until moving to virginia and subsequently sitting in traffic for extended periods of time on i-95 (excessive idling). if this is a known issue, why are consumers not made aware and moreover, why has there not been a recall issued to address the problem? this issue seems to span all makes and models of vehicles that use 5.7l hemis, specifically dodge manufactured vehicles.

Transmission cooler is leaking transmission fluid everywhere and the truck lost power on the highway in rush hour traffic the engine started to rev and the truck just slowed to a stop with semi trucks flying past in the middle of the highway

My 2011 dodge durango engine shut off while driving. the first two times it happened exiting the same exit on a right sharp turn at the same part of the turn. the steering wheel locked and i had to force all my weight to turn it and pull off to the shoulder avoiding getting hit from behind and the side. dodge dealer claimed nothing was wrong but wanted to keep car to investigate. i filed a complaint and opened a case number with chrysler corporation. there was a recall with first owner for this happening and it was supposively fixed, i believe the problem was not entirely fixed. i avoided that exit thinking i temporarily took care of the problem. third time my engine shut off while driving was on a left hand turn. no one was behind us so we avoided being rear ended. car was placed in neutral and manually restarted. i called chrysler again using same case number from before but i was told theres nothing that can be done because the warranty expired. 4th and 5th time my engine shut off while driving happened today , first was at ...

Oil filter adaptor housing recall - when i took this to my local mechanic he states this has been on back order for 6 months. per the internet this affect models from 2011 to 2019. this is causing an oil leak. this can cause the whole engine to seize and is causing oil to leak into the exhaust.

Had the fuel pressure relay recall replaced. is not having starting issues again. all indications are the ticm and in my research this is a nationwide issue. car will spin and not start or start, run poorly and die.

This problem has happened multiple times already not everyday but i would say at least 4-5 times a year. we are driving just normal down the highway and vehicle shuts off we have no steering lose all power have to come to a stop and restart vehicle. the most recent time this has happened luckily we were at a stop light and engine just shut off. we have taken it to a mechanic put his scan tool on it nothing came up. battery is brand new has been tested alternator test good. mechanic suggested computer problem. this is a safety hazard dodge needs to look into.

Vehicle developed a random misfire under load. misfire is intermittent, causing drivability issues. poses as a potential driving hazard when maneuvering around town or on the highway. found out it was common for the cam and lifters to fail and the v8 hemis from 2011-2012 on all platforms.

Hemi v8 cam & lifters failure doe to design flaw had to also change oil pump doe to metal shavings getting in there costly repair mine happened at 144,000

My vehicle has 69,000 miles on it. it is very well maintained. recently i have experienced when coming to a complete stop the vehicle for whatever reason shuts off. i have to push the ignition button to restart the vehicle and it runs fine. it's scary to think that your vehicle can just shut it's off without any warning. the dealership doesn't have an explanation and there is no recall. however; there are multiple people via the internet that have experienced this same event. i think fodge should be looking into this issue. fuel related..electrical?? lots of questions, but something needs to be done!!! scared for my safety!!
