2013 Dodge Durango: check engine light

Filed Mar 1, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · FL

The vehicle experiences sudden engine shutdown while driving. The engine completely turns off without warning. There are no warning lights, no check engine light, and no prior indication of failure. The exact component causing the failure is unknown at this time, but it appears to involve the engine and/or electrical system. The vehicle is available for inspection and has been taking to doge and nothing is being done yet. The vehicle shuts off while I am actively driving, causing immediate loss of power. This creates a dangerous situation because I lose acceleration and power steering while in traffic. I transport six children daily in this vehicle. Sudden engine shutdown while driving significantly increases the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or at higher speeds. This is a serious safety hazard for my family and others on the road. The dealership has not confirmed the cause. The vehicle has been taken in multiple times for service and diagnostics, and over $4,000 has been spent on repairs. However, the stalling issue continues and has not been resolved. The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Dodge dealership service department multiple times. No manufacturer representative has inspected the vehicle yet. There were no warning lamps, no check engine light, and no dashboard messages prior to the engine shutting off. The shutdown occurs without any advance warning. The vehicle operates normally and then abruptly turns off.Given the sudden loss of power while driving and the risk of collision, I believe this may be a broader safety defect that could potentially affect other vehicles of the same model.

While driving the vehicle occasionally stalls without a check engine light or codes showing up

My vehicle just clicks when I try to start it. The engine will not turn-over; it just clicks. Risk is that there wasn't any engine light warning or anything, and it is 19 degrees Fahrenheit with a -14 windchill outside. My vehicle was brought to the Dodge/Chrysler Dealership a few times for noises and overheating issues, but they said there weren't any problems. I knew there were issues because my vehicle's temperature gauge would go high for no apparent reason. I've been consistent with oil changes and fixed recommendations of wear and tear.

I am unsure. The SUV is not pulling any codes when tested. I had two places run a diagnostic. Intermittently the SUV will stall at start up. The engine light will come on during this time. Once the Durango starts the light goes away. I was told this was a sign of a known recall issue for this vehicle.

My 2013 Durango with 124,000 miles has a check engine light on, that indicates cylinder 4 miss fire. The Airpark Dodge service department where I purchased the vehicle has done a diagnostic evaluation and determined that the left cylinder head needs replacing. That falls within the X56 engine left cylinder head extended warranty for some VIN # vehicles, but not mine. The estimated repair is over $5000.00. I am told that the engine can cease up while driving, and that I should not be driving the vehicle. I think my vehicle should be included, especially since this X56 warranty extension has been out since 2014. How do I get this X56 warranty on my vehicle? And how do I get reimbursed for the cost of the repair?

The Durango showed no signs of a check engine light prior to. I called out a professional (AAA) to see what was going on and he said the there is no fuel going from the tank to crank the car. As if I was out of gas. I just had the recall serviced in 2023 I believe. It has not been long ago at all. I get my vehicle serviced regularly. I had my children, nieces, nephew, mother, & sister in law with me stranded because of this.

It is believed after Dealer inspection/investigation that there is a problem with 2 ignition modules. The reason we took it to the Dealer is because the vehicle randomly turns off - lights, engine, everything - while being operated causing significant risk to any occupants in the vehicle. The issue was replicated and recorded on a flight recorder installed by the Dealer - paid for by the owners. The vehicle was inspected multiple times over the course of almost a year to replicate, analyze and identify the issue. There were check engine lights that came on and we had those reviewed but no issue was identified. These occurred before the vehicle started randomly turning off.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a Customer Satisfaction Campaign: V51 (Power Train) repair; however, the contact stated that after the vehicle was retrieved; while driving at an unknown speed, the transmission failed to shift as needed with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission solenoid failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed, but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

My 2012 Dodge Durango was serviced under the federal safety agency Campaign 19-V813. This called for the replacement of the fuel pump relay to correct a potential no-start or stall situation. This also prevented fuel pump failure due to the unit not being switched off by the TIPM when the car is turned off. This repair has not corrected the problem. The car would be available for inspection upon request. The safety of the occupants could be at risk. The problem is intermittent and has not been able to be duplicated at the dealer. There are no warning lamps or codes that can be read. The car will crank over for an extended period of time but will not start. This is an intermittent problem and occurs two times a month or more, has been happening since Fall of 2020, and has been increasing in frequency. The fuel pump relay was replaced in June 2021 and the car had a no-start two weeks later. The check engine light does not come on. No codes are found by the dealer. The engine has not quit while in motion, but possibly could as this problem increases in frequency. On two occasions while the car was in motion the right rear window went down for no reason. The window could not be raised until the car was brought to a stop, turned off and started again. The window could then be raised using the driver's door control. This poses a danger to the occupants of the vehicle especially during severe weather and is at least a distraction to the driver. The common denominator in these two problems is the TIPM. I think the fuel pump relay problem is actually a problem found deeper within the TIPM. Chrysler is simply saying that the "flix" is a relay and not the real culprit, the much more expensive TIPM. The dealer says they cannot diagnose this problem unless it is happening on their lot. They have inspected the fuel pump relay work that was done under recall and said that the installation was correct.
