2012 dodge durango has history of starting and stalling problem. while vehicle was under warranty, it would stall right after you start it. the dealer performed fuel pump relay recall, and problem was not fixed. the next dealer remove the external fuel pump relay and replaced tipm, problem was still not fixed. dealer then re-completed the fuel pump relay recall, problem still not fix. now the vehicle is stalling while driving down the road and seems to happen when you turn the steering wheel. there is a recall for this issue (t36) but dodge is saying that my vehicle does not qualify for that recall. this is a very dangerous issue and is can/will lead to a vehicle accident when we can't control the vehicle going down the highway as it keeps shutting off.

Twice in three years time the upper radiator hose has been destroyed by the closest pulley on the engine. when installed correctly there is less than 1 inch of clearance between the hose and pulley. this seems like a very serious design flaw on the hemi 5.7.

Talked to a mechanic who said that my lifters are ruining my camshaft and that they need to be replaced. my father in law also had the same thing happen to his 5.7 hemi.

I parked my car at home. in the morning when i pressed the start switch to start the car crank, and it does not start. i wait a minute press the start switch again and the car keeps cranking no stopping until i move my gear from park to reverse. i remove the switch and i add my car key and try again with car key. after 3 times the car starts. i know there's a recall or lawsuit for this issue. i want my car fixed with no cost for me. i maintain my car in good shape and urge to get this done. this started this week 12/17/18

This is the 3rd time in the past 3 months i've been taking this vehicle to service for different service issues. the most recent one is the dash and whipers started going crazy, a sudden smell of burnt wires/electric burn. the vehicle shut down while in motion locking the steering wheel and the gear shifter didn't want to engage. i tried starting the vehicle but it wouldn't start. the vehicle is not comunicating with the starting key. the vehicle got towed to the deelsrship and after two days they called me back saying that the vehicle is not comunicating with the tipm (totally integrated power module) therefor the can't make a diagnosis. they will have to check each wire one by one abd that check up is going to cost 4 hours of work at a cost of approximately $400 before they can run a diagnosis.
