I purchased my 2012 dodge durango, used, with approximately 75k miles. Since purchasing the vehicle, I've experienced numerous problems that began with the transmission. Additionally, the car goes into "low gear" even when you don't turn the knob. Over the past year, the car has been in the shop more times than I can count for the doors locking and unlocking on their own. I haven't been able to lock the doors when in public. My key fob hasn't worked even after replacing the battery inside. The car has set the alarm off even when unprompted. It will lock/unlock while driving.the car has stalled, while driving, at least 3 times since november 2019. For each occurrence, the vehicle was slowing/excelling with a traffic light or to turn into a parking lot. On one occasion, the car would not crank over and a red light was blinking on the dash. The lock issue began happening again and I could not get it started. It had been stationary. When I came back to the vehicle later, it worked fine with no red light. The mechanics noticed the temperamental problems but could not get the vehicle to consistently repeat the problem. I've also replaced the water pump and had issues with the air conditioning. At this moment, it doesn't want to work for the driver's spot only.

My 2012 dodge durango has lost all power while I have been driving it. Today is the 4th time this has happened in about 2 months. I have been driving and without any warning the car stops running and all electrical is gone, my dash is blank. I was almost in an accident today. I pulled out on a busy street and lost all power. I was able to stop in the middle turn lane and put it in neutral. It is very scary each time it happens without warning!!! This issue must be addressed and fixed. My safety and my family's safety is at stake! I am afraid and won't drive it on the interstate. This engine failure has happened 4 times in the last couple of months. This sounds like manufacturer recall # v62, the federal safety agency recall # 19v‑813 with the stall condition while driving the vehicle. A fuel pump relay failure. (recall related incident) ts

I've have an ongoing problem with the check engine light and feeling like the truck is going to stahl. Can't remote start my truck because of this problem.

I just got my truck back on 10/25/19 and didn't drive it until monday 10/18/19 and check engine light came back on and feeling like it's going to stahl. I want my truck to be repaired already.
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.
