Motor shuts off traveling down the road (happened 3 times since 2016). Twice on a curve 30 - 40 MPH & once down a straight away 60mph (scary). Got on your web sight the federal safety agency recall # 19v‑813. - manufacturer recall # v62. We have stopped driving the vehicle. Called dodge gave me case # 74962415. Talked to a [xxx] at dodge said he could not loan me a vehicle. Ask him to let me speak to his superior...he said no. Talked to bobilya dodge (local dealer). No help with this recall until they figure out a remedy. (recall related incident) ts can you help? Need a vehicle! [xxx] approx dates this occurred ....2/17. + 4/18. + 5 /19 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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).
Intake manifold leak at 65,470 miles. Leak at manifold near back of engine at throttle body. Caused engine to leak oil and coolant which can cause fire or engine to blow. Dealer repaired and replaced intake manifold and pcs valve.
The engine regularly will not start when I push the button. It stalls over and over. Sometimes leaving us stranded. This has been happening since at least 2016 and I have had all recalls repaired. The matter has never resolved! Now I have been informed that the initial recall replacement part was faulty and dodge currently does not have a fix.
Engine has cutout (turns off) while driving on 4 occasions. On all four occasions it has occurred while I was exiting a road/ramp. When vehicle cuts out power steering also does not work. In all occasions I have been able to pull off the road or stop before the road ends. The vehicle then starts right back up and functions properly. No check engine lights have come on.

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.
Vehicle started have a ticking noise. So I took it to dealer. Dealer states I need new engine doe to haveing metal shavings in engine oil. Vehicle has 136000 miles on it the oil have been changed every 3000 miles dealer won't help with this issue and don't want 8600 for new engine. There are a many people with this issue
Twice in three years time the upper radiator hose has been destroyed by the closest pulley on the engine. When installed correctly there is less than 1 inch of clearance between the hose and pulley. This seems like a very serious design flaw on the hemi 5.7.

While driving the vehicle will suddenly lose power there are no warning lights to indicate that anything has gone wrong.

It has happened on both highway and side roads. I am unaware that the car has lost power until I realize that my power steering and brakes don't work.
The catalytic converter went bad 10/2018. The check engine light came on and the dealership performed a diagnostic testing and it indicated that the catalytic converter was bad and needs replacement asap. Within the state of pa. It is important to keep the emission system update within state standards. The cost was about $1,400. I check the recall status and there is no recalls listed.

While driving down a 2 lane highway the vehicle lost power and once pulled over on the shoulder we noticed a funny smell and flames coming under the hood. The car burned up and its totalled. Luckily noone is hurt. *dt photos attached
I parked my car at home. In the morning when I pressed the start switch to start the car crank, and it does not start. I wait a minute press the start switch again and the car keeps cranking no stopping until I move my gear from park to reverse. I remove the switch and I add my car key and try again with car key. After 3 times the car starts. I know there's a recall or lawsuit for this issue. I want my car fixed with no cost for me. I maintain my car in good shape and urge to get this done. This started this week 12/17/18
This is the 3rd time in the past 3 months I've been taking this vehicle to service for different service issues. The most recent one is the dash and whipers started going crazy, a sudden smell of burnt wires/electric burn. The vehicle shut down while in motion locking the steering wheel and the gear shifter didn't want to engage. I tried starting the vehicle but it wouldn't start. The vehicle is not comunicating with the starting key. The vehicle got towed to the deelsrship and after two days they called me back saying that the vehicle is not comunicating with the tipm (totally integrated power module) therefor the can't make a diagnosis. They will have to check each wire one by one abd that check up is going to cost 4 hours of work at a cost of approximately $400 before they can run a diagnosis.
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.

I have a 2012 dodge durango with 110000 miles on it. Took it too the dealership because of a check engine light. The engine felt like it was running good. It turned out that three of my lifters were bad which also messed up the camshaft. Had to replace the engine because it would have been the same price to fix it, if the other side we're bad too. This is a known issue with dodge and they refuse to fix it
