Filed Jul 14, 2025 · Body, Engine · ND

The obd reader on my 2003 Durango brings up code for central timing module and eeprm checksum error were the safety recall is in order but the vin number is not in the list of recall. It has all the specification of recall but vin number isn't in the list of recalls. I'm driving around in a unsafe vehicle due to manufacturing error that my vin number is the only thing why they won't fix it. Why do they not care if I kill myself or others from this that the recall is

I purchased my vehicle 10/2019. Since then I have taken to repair shop for vehicle stalls when coming to a stop or at a stop, let along when slowing for a stop. Then RPM's drop! I have almost been rear ended multiple times due to this, with my children and grandchildren in car!!! The shop I've taken to can not find out why this is happening. Granted we tried replacing hoses, valve gaskets tune up. I feel there should be a recall to find and fix this before a serious injury happens. This has also happened as I was driving and I had to put in neutral to restart. The streets and roads I have to travel are usually always busy. Also the vehicle when stopping the front driver and passenger seats slide back and forth, they are not what I would call safe... For I believe the rules ares to check mirrors, adjust seating, wear seat belts to ensure that you will be driving safely. I could be wrong but I'm pretty positive. Needs fixing now!! The other issue is the hoses... They seem to fall off and I take into shop just to hear its the hose again. Not counting numerous other issues like windows not rolling down some days, rear heater doesn't work unless the front heater is off. I've always been a dodge fan but I think with all these issues with this vehicle I'll be checking out out dodge and moving to someone that actually doesn't have over 6 recalls on the vehicles and multiple other complaints like dodge has had and that I've just read.

While driving, I noticed that when I accelerate after braking, the driver seat slides back and forth about an inch. Also, when I'm at a red light, with my foot on the brakes the vehicle accelerates. Both of these are very serious and dangerous issues and should be recalls.

The car started over heating last may 2013. After all the repairs, the car is still overheating - replaced the radiator, the thermostat, the hoses, flushed the coolant and put fresh coolant in it, fixed the fans. I have to add coolant to keep it from overheating however even that is not working. The issue according to the mechanic is with the engine and cooling system design that has a flaw in it. It is a re- call that should have taken place a long time ago and dodge needs to step up and fix the problem.
