Fuel pump relay intermittently inoperational. manufacturer and dealer will not address issue on known recall without being able to "replicate" issue at shop. this is an intermittent failure so replicating if is a roll of the dice that could cost me hundreds before an actual replication happens. this is absurd and chrysler needs to make right on this issue.

R09/nhtsa 14v-115 parts not available until sept - notice states that fuel pump could fail and car will stall. i drive kids around all day and do not need the added stress of wondering if my car is going to fail in the middle of traffic. its ridiculous to expect people to wait 6 months to get a vehicle fixed. this is the third recall on the vehicle for parts failing - in my opinion that speaks volumes toward the quality of vehicle dodge provides, not to mention the poor service of not getting the right parts out to fix a potentially dangerous problem. seriously....why send out notices if there are no plans to fix an issue for 6 months. i'll never buy another dodge, this is my first and last - i've owned chevrolet all my life and never had this many problems. *tr

Upon opening my truck using the button on my keyless entry, the tailgate door when slowly up just like normal. my mother went to put something in the truck and the trunk door slammed down on her head and neck area. i wanted to see if this was just one time, so i tried to open it again, this time just by pulling up on the handle, and the same thing happened!! i took video of the "faulty" door as well. my mother is fine, but if that were my 4 year old daughter, it wouldn't be the same at all!!! talked to chrysler and this was a "freak accident" and told me it wasn't a safety issue either so i would have to pay for it!!!! worst car buying experience ever! *tr

I bought my 2012 dodge durango 3 weeks and it is not starting properly. i used the keyless remote entry and starter but the car will not start or sounds like the starter is stuck. i have to turn off the car and try again. it will normally take 4-5 tries just to get the car started and it depends if it will continue to run. i am not happy with this and noticed multiple people have the same problems. *tr

Most times when i go to start the truck it will not start. if it does start it dies immediately. when i try to start it again, the starter seems to get stuck, so i turn the key off and have to try it again. eventually it will start and run normal. just this morning, i went to move the vehicle, and it had no power. once i hooked up the jumper cables i could hear a humming noise, which i assume would be the fuel pump, as i have read many complaints online about it not turning off due to the tipm. after i started it and let it run for a while i shut it off and could still here the fuel pump. i should not have to pull the fuse so that my battery will not die due to a defective part. i just got this truck a little over 2 months ago and have had the starting problem since i've got it. now i got this fuel pump issue. i should not have to pay for something that chrysler is aware of and, at this point, has chose not to do anything about. *tr

This vehicle has 2 recalls on it. the first is the brake booster. we were told we would be notified when the part was available after calling the dealer in february of 2014. it was fixed dec 29, 2014. in dec of 2014, we received another recall notice for the alternator, and were told parts were not available. on december 20th, 2014, we were leaving on a family vacation, loaded and ready to go when the vehicle failed. the car was completely dead and would not start. the dealer picked up the vehicle while i loaded my family in 2 different trucks to make a 90 mile drive to the cruise terminal where we paid $55 to park each truck. i came back sunday the 28th of february and they had not repaired the car, stating they wanted $90 labor to replace the battery and $275 for a new battery, which was damaged by the alternator. after hours of calling, chrysler finally approved a new battery, but the old one was put back in and charged. due to being out of the country, i had to use e-mail to my mechanic to get things authorized. we did not get a rental for the entire week and my mother-in-law was left home without a vehicle for the week(christmas week). the alternator that was put on the car is still under recall and could fail again and we were told we would need to bring it back in for a new alternator at a later date. the new alternator is starting to make a humming noise like the last one and neither chrysler or the dealer will do anything about it because it is still working. my wife will not drive the vehicle until it is fixed due to the warning of the car dying or catching fire and having our 3 year old with her if it happens. the trade in value is down due to so many being traded in and i will be left $10000 upside down on the vehicle. i asked for a rental until it is fixed correctly and was told that could not happen. *tr
