When driving the car it feels a bit of a lag or a loss in power. i have called for the recall parts to be fixed at the dealer for months now. they claim there is part issues or shipping issues on the parts. This an important part needs to be fixed and may cause more damage in the future to the engine if not fixed in a timely manner.

If it gets below freezing, my car will not start. My vehicle will sit overnight and in the morning it cannot start. We have tried everything. It turns over again and again. This is effecting my work schedule. We need a solution. Because waiting five hours for it to warm up outside is not cutting it

I had a fuel pump relay replaced in 2015, and have had a lot of small problems with the electrical system over the years. Once the vehicle passed 80,000 miles this year all kinds of things started happening. The cooling system went haywire and my auto repair shop had to replace the radiator. I've been experiencing problems with my vehicle hesitating to start like it is not getting fuel, and have trouble accelerating so I cannot pull out in heavy traffic unless there is a good break which is absolutely ridiculous having a hemi v8 engine! I've been towed twice this year when the vehicle would not start at all but then it ended up starting when it got to my auto repair shop or the dealer. I was not only embarrassed but wasted time and money. My mechanic did a lot of diagnostics and ruled out everything except the fuel pump relay. I did some research and learned about the recall so I went to the dealer and asked them to apply the fix. They hassled me and said they 'can not trust your mechanics' and made me pay for diagnostics and said there was no fix for the recall. They ended up finding another problem basically telling me my mechanics were wrong and charged me over $800 for a new PCM. They did install a new fuel pump relay at my insistence even though it was the original part and not a fixed part. It resolved the starting issue and I stopped getting any warning lights. The vehicle still didn't accelerate or handle properly and not even four months later and the same problem is happening again! The fuel pump relay is obviously failing again and I am not confident the PCM had a problem if I'm still getting the same issues. Could it be the tipm I keep reading about? The dealer didn't mention that. I'm afraid I am going to be stranded with children or worse that the vehicle is going to cut out while moving in traffic!! This is an extremely unreasonable safety risk! (recall related incident) ts

While driving my dodge durango on city streets as well as multi lane highway the vehicle will unexpectedly experience a stall condition. I have experienced this failure approximately six times. Placing the vehicle in neutral while in motion to attempt a restart was unsuccessful as I found that the vehicle must be in park for a restart. This is especially concerning on the multilane highway at 50 MPH speeds, as the potential for collision without power is of great risk to me. Having to place a vehicle in park if unable to coast to shoulder or curb lane puts everyone in the area at risk of collision and exposing myself and family to a rear end collision at increased highway speeds. On city streets I have experienced a loss of power at approximately 20 MPH while mid turn through an intersection resulting in me blocking the intersection while attempting a restart. This has occurred in both left and right hand turns. Of note my family members with less driving experience could be at risk of collision/injury should the engine die suddenly. I have also experienced approximately twenty occurrences where my vehicle fails to start. I have noted that this usually occurs after a short drive with an attempt to restart after approximately 30 mins which results in the no start condition. An example would be a trip to a grocery store. Frustrating beyond belief. Chrysler service center unable to help as no parts or remedy available for the ordered recall. Contacted fiat/chrysler rep but he was of no assistance. The rep insisted that the vehicle was safe to drive but I strongly disagree. His remedy is to tow the vehicle at my cost to the dealer upon experiencing stall but I feel that driving the vehicle to failure is grossly negligent.this dodge durango is not only unreliable having experienced so many no start conditions but the stall at speed is certainly unsafe.

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!
