Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge durango. The contact stated that the engine failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump failed. The fuel pump was replaced; however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was contacted. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v115000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000.
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
My durango had been repaired per recall r09, and now the vehicle is doing the same thing as it was before the repair, which is have failed starts, and the engine shutting down while driving ( very dangerous especially on the freeway).
Regarding safety recall r09 / the federal safety agency 15v‑115 fuel pump relay - 2012-2013 dodge durango & jeep grand cherokee this recall was performed on my vehicle a few months ago, the other week the fix failed several times starting the car and once while the car was in motion. I took it back in to the dealer to get the fix redone, in the two days since the redo the car has already not started several times and stopped supplying power to the fuel pump while the car was in motion once. So in short, the fix for the original safety issue does not work and is even worse than before the fix. Searching online several other people also have had the fix fail on them as well.
This vehicle has a lot of electrical issues. The push start doesn't always work and stalls out. The car has also lost power while I was driving luckily it kick back on before something serious happened. It also tends to shift gears very hard at times.
3 years after having my fuel pump relay recall performed on my 2012 durango crew the same exact symptoms are happening. Stalling out while driving and the car will try to crank but not fully turn over. Put the durango in the shop and it's the same problem again the fuel pump relay and we have to pay out of pocket for the repair. This part should not be failing again after a 30,000 mile 3year difference on a 70,000 mile car. What ever parts they used for recall are faulty and eventually fail. I should not have to have my fuel pump relay changed again on this car. Dodge needs to take responsibility and fix the issue the first time and not put burden on their customers of their defects. I'm putting this out there for anyone having the same issue after their recall was fixed. Complain! So we aren't responsible for dodge mistakes.
The battery gets drain out without warning it happens once or twice a month lately it's happening more often, my truck won't start even if the day before was running battery was check and it's fine. Check engine light it's on now once the truck didn't want to turn on. Took it to a mechanic and he said it was a relay issue. Brakes are in the recall VIN check list along one other recall. The lights inside turn on and off as well as if there is a short going on while in driving mode it feels like the truck is loosing power even though it has gas. I'm afraid to drive it.
Car not starting acts like not getting any fuel or may start and die like not getting enough fuel. Auto headlights will shut off while driving or may not come on at all
The fuel pump relay harness wire that connects to the tipm box is causing problems with the vehicle to start. The added wire makes the other connections heat up and that has made a hole in the fuse box already and the fuel pump harness connection wire is burning up.
Rack and pinion leaking suddenly. Fuel pump relay went out again. While driving on four lane.
External fuel pump relay installed as part of recall r09 has failed 2 years after replacement. The vehicle refused to start numerous times before finally completely non starting on 9.30.17 while at my home.
My dodge durango stopped working one week ago. At that time I looked online to find the alternator recall but that they would be notifying people at a later date. For a week they had my car and replaced the alternator knowing dodge had bad alternators and made me purchase a battery. My car again died the same day after my partner left the lot. After it was again towed for the second time they found that my car was now under the recall even though I had already told them there was an issue with my car. The website states there is no solution to the problem and now I am stuck with a broken car with my car value dropping significantly. Dodge needs to refund me the money I have already spent plus mileage and gas communiting to and from viera to titusville florida driving my partner to work and picking my son up from school and going back and forth and emotional distress. This company should be ashamed of themselves. I am now stuck with a rental car and left in the dark as to what is happening to my car. In a separate incident I paid out almost 1,000 to go out to my car at the dealership to find it did not work. At that time the man walked inside and came back out with a piece for the fuel relay recall. I again want to know why this dodge dealership continues to charge me and play me for a fool. Dodge should be embarrassed. How does someone now check for recalls before operating on a vehicle?
Check engine light on. Test ran. Detector-evaporative system issue. Detector valve faulty. Leak coming from gas cap and esim correction. Replaced esim seal and gas cap. There was a recall for similar issue.
We had a recall fixed on the fuel pump relay and since then the vehicle stalls while driving.didn't do that before the work
My dodge durando 2012 have to many problems my car stop withn is running several times a take to dealer the change the fuel pump and the nex day have enegine ligth take back to dealer now the said is catalyst , and arent but my car 2012 I believe is not to old to have to many problems I believe it's all factory default.
My 2012 dodge durango was part of the federal safety agency campaign number 15v115000. The vehicle was brought in for the replacement part in september of 2015. The repair temporarily fixed the issue. Over the last 4 months the vehicle has had many issues with starting and/or staying on and has been towed to a repair shop when it would no longer start. There was a loose wire found for the external replacement part installed as the recall. The vehicle then ran normally for a week before it started to show issues with starting and staying engaged. The problem quickly escalated with the vehicle stalling out almost daily upon being started and sometimes the issue could only be resolved by the external fuel kit relay module being tapped. Today, 11/02/16 the vehicle stalled while driving down the road, luckily it was in a school zone with little traffic so any possibly accidents were avoided. An hour later the vehicle started acting as if losing fuel pressure while turning and the gas pedal had to be pushed to the floor to stabilize the vehicle. The local dodge/chrysler dealership has been contacted several times while this issue has persisted and we were advised that they had fulfilled their duties under the recall and we could bring the car in when there was an opening but they were not sure what they could do unless the issue happened while the vehicle was there.
Engine stalled and car shut off. Once from a stop while trying to accelerate and another time while trying to stop. In both instances an accident was nearly avoided. My wife on 9/13 was turning across traffic and the car died and she was almost t-boned. On 9/14 I almost rear ended a car as I was slowing to a stop and lost all power. Wipers will come on randomly on dry, sunny days (while parked or in motion). Car jerks forward intermittently when starting (using remote start or while in the car). Occasionally the car continues to turn over but never actually starts. I have taken this to the dealer 7-8 times and they've never heard of these problems. No error codes recorded. Never able to be reproduced when at the dealer. Contacted another dodge dealer and they have never heard of these issues either. Took to an independent mechanic and he immediately recognized this as a potential tipm issue. The fuel relay recall was implemented in summer of 2015 which was supposed to resolve these issue. However, all of these problems continue to intermittently occur - with the stalling (and near accidents) just occurring for the first time this past week. Spoke with dodge yesterday explaining the situation and both dealers didn't want to sell me a new tipm because they weren't sure it would fix the problem and reiterated that the fuel relay recall would fix these issues. When I stated that I am still having the issues they didn't have an answer but were willing to take my car in on trade. We currently have 93000 miles but this started shortly after we purchased the durango; with well under 40000 miles. We were still under warranty when this started but no fault was ever found when at the dealer.
Car sometimes will not start, or starts and quickly shuts off (sometimes in drive or reverse). If you push start button it tries to "turn over" revving but never starting. Has done intermittently but gotten really bad in may 2016 from every other day to sometimes several times a day. Dealer "can't find" problem. Date below first date dealer actually wrote down problem. Have all service forms and documents. Believe it is the tipm module. Car alarm has gone off with door lock problems after starter issue as well. Dealer again "can't duplicate problem" and has denied knowing about ongoing lawsuit about this problem and has actually lied to us about warranty information numerous times. Also have video of problem on cell phone. Vehicle has been in park and in drive/reverse as we were just starting to drive/back up when it quit running. It goes "dead" without a sound but all lights are on, vehicle states it is running but you cannot move wheel. You have to put back in park, hit start button again to shut off in order to attempt to fix problem. Sometimes takes several attempts to get it started.
My durango has had many problems when trying to start it since I initially purchased the vehicle. I have taken it into the dealership about 7 times trying to figure out why it won't start on many occasions. I will also start and then shut down immediately. It is no longer under warranty and even after getting the r09 fuel pump relay fix I still have the exact same problem. After doing countless hours of research it appears it is the actual tipm that has gone bad and will cost me around 1500$ it is a disgrace that dodge will not just recall the bad tipm. There are thousands of people online with the exact same problem as me and I would really appreciate it if you all will look into this more considering how dangerous it is especially if driving on a highway and your vehicle just shuts down for no apparent reason which is one of the symptoms of this bad tipm. Thank you
Check engine light on. Test ran. Detector-evaporative system issue. Detector valve faulty. Leak coming from gas cap and esim correction. Replaced esim seal and gas cap. There was a recall for similar issue. Another recall warranted?
The local dodge dealership plaza dodge inverness florida has not been able to repair my vehicle. Recalled for a fuel pump relay switch which could malfunction causing my vehicle to "stall while driving and cause a crash without warning". They tell me it could "easily be 6 months before they get the parts". This is unacceptable, this is a danger to my family and all the other vehicles on the road! Recall was received in june 2015. That is too long for this to wait.
The fuel pump is not working it is not getting gas unable to turn on car. The car was stationary.
While driving on the highway the car's engine shut down. I placed the car in neutral and restarted the engine with no difficulty. Days later the car was parked and would not start. The engine turned normally but it seems like the fuel is not reaching the engine. It almost seems like a flooded engine. I researched it online and it seems to be an known issue with this car. The tipm (totally intergrated power module) seems to be the issue.
08-10-15 I called the dealership where I bought my vehicle, cowboy chrysler 409‑385‑3796 about the notice I received about two safety recalls r09 fuel pump relay and p36 sun visor wiring. I was told the dealership had gotten in 15 of the parts and used all 15 to repair vehicles. I was told I would be put on a list and called when more parts came in to the dealership. 08-21-15 I called the dealership again and was told they had gotten in 18 of the parts and I am third on the list to be called when more parts come in. Can you help me get the necessary repair parts delivered to this dealership?
I received recall notice r09 originally in mid march 2015. I called michigan city chrysler dodge jeep 219‑872‑8600 700 e. Us 20, michigan city, in 46360 to schedule the repair. They notified me that the parts were not available and put me on a "paper" call list. Today august 13, 2015 I received my second recall notice on r09. I called michigan city chrysler dodge jeep 219‑872‑8600 700 e. Us 20, michigan city, in 46360 again to schedule the repair and received the same answer as in march. It has been 5 months now from the original notice and it is clear this dealership has no intention of making the recall repairs within a reasonable time.
The vehicle first had problems with the transmission and the dealer would not fix it because the check engine light was not on and chrysler wouldn't authorize. The vehicle would jump in reverse or roll and not go in gear. Later check engine light came on and it was repaired. Then the vehicle began having difficulty starting. The motor just continues trying to turn over. You have to turn the key off and try to start a couple of more times and then it will run. The vehicle will stall when you step on the gas. I started it after putting gas in at a gas station and stepped on the gas and it died. I started it and started out of my driveway and it died and continued rolling. It also died when my wife was pulling away from my sons school. Chrysler has a recall on the vehicle, however I have been trying for almost a year to get it repaired. I first reported the incidents in 2014 to both chrysler and a dodge dealership. The dodge dealership says they cant get the parts from chrysler....updated 09-29-15
There has been numerous safety recalls on this year vehicle. We have taken it to our dealership numerous times only to be brushed off by saying the recall parts are not available yet. However while driving the car with all kids inside, the vehicle completely shuts off while traveling at approx. 35-45 miles per hour. Now this is a safety concern and the vehicle will not start.
Our dodge durango 2012 was purchased in january 2015 from rick keefer dodge chrysler jeep ram in yulee, florida. Two weeks later the engine light lights up and the engine is sputtering. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired vehicle and said it was the oxygen sensor and replaced. Again the engine light came on and the engine ran rough. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired and said they replaced the converter. Soon again the engine light came on. Found fuel cap 'popped off' a few times, engine light goes out then on again. Returned to dealer whom replaced fuel cap. There was also an oil leak fixed. Again the engine light came on and off and the engine would run rough. Smoke would pour out the tailpipe, engine sputtering, drove back from mountains. Returned car to dealer. They replaced powertrain control module and oxygen sensor (again). And again, late june 2015, engine light comes on and engine sputtering. Dealer takes car. Dealer tells us they are going to 'go through it' and drive vehicle entire time. We receive rental car. Dealer calls after week and said vehicle is ready for pickup but they are awaiting a converter and are going to replace oxygen sensor also. Vehicle mileage logged; vehicle was never 'driven'. Rental car time was used up. Returned car to dealer when part was in. Dealer replaced converter but not o2 sensor?? They said it didn't need it. Drove car about 10 miles and got out. A very strong smell of burning plastic is coming from car. Dealer not returning call. Will be returning to dealer monday july20, 2015. Still driving with strong plastic burn smell. Lifted hood. Wiring harness above heater line and converter(manifold) is burning. Entire right side of engine is unbearable hot. Silver metal box in front of fuse panel is so hot it burns to the touch. Car reads normal temps? Most problems on blog occur in hot summer months. Coincidence?
