Had the recall for shutting down repair again and still having the same problem. I've spent over $2000 In diagnosed fees with dealership and private shops and still having the same problem. Yes the fuel pump relay was replaced 2 times. Still having the same problem it will start back up but locks the steering wheel to where you can't turn it. Which almost was in a accident but was able to stop before. It's happens every month but was told not to bring it back to the dealership as they cant find the problem as all recalls were repaired.
Vechile stalls and unable to shift to drive freely
Lifter and limp mode problems. There is noise comming from engine. Took to shop and found out reason for noise and low power was lifters and is a very common problem. What brought the safety thing up is wife was in accident in March because couldn't get out of way quick enough. Had vehicle towed to shop from accident site and body repair. Thought was just a fluke and had damage repaired and noticed a ticking and power problems immediately after accident repair. Took to dodge dealer and found out common problem with the lifters cam and limp mode. Had at same repair shop for other recall 2 months prior for recall and inspection with no noise or issues.

Misfire cylinder 2 code won't go away even after changing spark plugs and coil pack
My wife was driving her 2012 durango and the battery light came on and blind spot warning was going off. The engine started making a loud noise. She was 2 miles from home, so I told her to drive home and take my truck. When I got home I investigated the issue. Within 1 minute of me idling the engine to listen for where noise the alternator started smoking and internal were glowing red.
Check engine light came on. Code for cylinder 2 misfire. I've changed the coil packs and spark plugs. A day later light came back on for same code.
While my wife was driving the durango the battery light came on. Soon after the battery light came on everything shut off. Weren't able to start it or do anything. Checked to see if my vehicle was one with an alternator recall and it isn't. Replaced the alternator twice a new battery and still can't drive the vehicle because the put the voltage regulator in the PCM and I guess when it all shut down on my wife it messed that up. She was in motion while the light came on and was driving on a city street but luckily she wasn't far from home.
This vehicle has had intermitten no start and stall conditions while driving since december 2019. It seems to quit when slowing down for a turn, this has left my wife with a dead vehicle in oncoming traffic. This has been recalled 2 previous times and repaired but the repairs have not helped. December of 2020 dodge finally cam up with a fix for the latest v62 recall and we had the vehicle fixed. 2 weeks later it started happening again. I would think 3 recalls and repairs for the same problem would be enough to remedy the situation. This 3rd fix took 12 months!! I wanty dodge to do something about this vehicle or buy it back so nobody else gets killed while driving it. This vehicle had a no sell order on it so I am stuck with it.
Radiator catastrophically failed at 119200 miles while driving. Upon inspection it was determined that the whole drivers side of the radiator rib failed where the metal meets the plastic housing resulting in a massive coolant leak.

While driving check engine light started flashing. Received code for misfire on cylinder #8. Took to dealer, diagnosed as worn camshaft due to lifter failure. Initially quoted $4700 to repair, then told dodge would not warranty the work due to possibility of metal shavings in engine. Recommended engine replacement for $10,000.
Still doesn't have part for the fuel pump relay problem this is the second recall on this
The SUV will not shut off till you open and close the driver door
First started with locks on doors, then fuel gage now does not start at all. Electric lights would just start going on & off while driving it would slow down and could not pick up speed sometimes while driving on street.
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
