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

During summer 2017, 5.7l hemi started to make a noticeable clicking noise at 70,000 miles although it had been meticulously maintained. In sept 2017 at 72,000 the engine failed with a grinded camshaft due to a roller/lifter failure. The engine had to be replaced out of warranty by specialty hemi engien shop pro engines llc in elon, nc. Today, I am realizing that this was not a random occurrence. I have found many testimonies online and in person of 5.7l hemi owners having experienced similar dramatic and costly failures of their engine camshaft due roller / lifter failure as explained clearly for example in these videos: here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inpuz3pcha0), here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg5qx9qojgo) or here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2cx11tutic) luckily this engine failure did not cause injury as it failed while vehicle was parked, but I concur that it could have if the failure at happened at the wrong moment and I think that dodge is well aware of this problem and that it is trying to hide it I concur that the camshaft failure is an engineering issue that dodge should correct and fix under extended warranty as replacing the engine was very expansive and is totally outrageous for a less than 6 years old and 72,000 miles perfectly maintained truck. I wish that the federal safety agency receives enough complains to bolster consumers in receiving technical and financial help from the manuacturer best, [xxx] redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

2012 dodge durango crew with 5.7l hemi engine. 10/23/18 - vehicle through engine error code related to cylinder 8 misfire. Pulled the plugs and cylinder 8 plug was burnt. Since the last plug change mileage was unknown, I replaced all 16 spark plugs. Vehicle started and ran fine. Error code cleared and did not reapper. 11/7/18 - while driving at ~60mph throttle fluttered and vehicle then died. No check engine or warning lights illuminated. Coasted to the side of the road. Tried to re-start engine since no warnings were visible. Engine made grinding noise and seized. Determined by luther brookdale dodge in brooklyn park that there is a hole in the block, engine is seized and the engine needs replacement. Mileage was 114,xxx. Safety issue is that vehicle died at highway speed, leading to a loss of power steering, and assisted braking ability. No warning lights illuminated on the dash so there was no visible indicator of engine failure.
