2014 Dodge Durango: won't start

Filed Mar 25, 2022 · Electrical · TX

Wife coming home from work around midnight on 03/24/2022. 2014 Durango suddenly started to not respond to throttle, and dash showed low voltage and stop running. After jumpstarting Durango shows only 10v on display and confirmed with voltmeter at alternator. entered my vin for recalls and it shows none open. She had just turned off major a major 4 lane state hwy and that is when it died. If it had died in middle of turn she would have been in a major accident. Durango was driven at 10 mph due to engine derating, with no light on and all acc turned off made it home lucky to have only been 1 mile from home and on neighborhood street. Inspection will have to be done at my home, Durango will not start. Cant afford tow bill I am on Disability and a fixed income. Low voltage light came on just as she crossed two lanes of traffic and stared on neighborhood street. This car is used to take me to doctors appointments at my Heart Specialist, wife to work and daily driver. Durango has 153000 miles. This is the first time it has happened

My 2014 Dodge Durango SXT RWD alternator stopped working. Was on the way home on 03/24/2022 that night and was driving on 4 lane state hwy. when all of a sudden it started to cut out and the low voltage light appeared on display. I had no choice but to stop in the turning lane right before it quit running. Tried to restart and it just clicked, and dash display disappeared. Had to engage park override and manually push Durango across two lanes of oncoming traffic, luckily two men stopped to help me push it and helped stop traffic so we would not have to stop when we got it rolling. once we had it on side street I tried to restart once again, and it just clicked. Used a battery booster box to jumpstart it and with box on it would run, with box taken off it would run till battery lost voltage and engine will stop running. Luck I was only about 2 miles from my home and the men who stopped and helped pull me the rest of the way home using a tow strap. The Durango is in my driveway and will not start and run to take anywhere to be diagnosed. Dodge told me if the vin didn't show a recall, I'd have to pay the tow bill up front and if it did turn out to be a defective alternator, I can send the tow bill in for reimbursement. (I am Disabled and can't afford a tow truck to tow it 15 miles to nearest dealership.) The only time any warning lamps came on was just before it stopped running as I was getting in turn lane. Durango has run fine Purchased 01/19/2022 and second owner and have put only 2400 miles on it since I got it. Even took to North Central Arkansas and back to Odessa Tx in late Jan 2022 with no issues. This Alternator Part# 04801779AG was in a recall for the 2014 Durangos with a 3.6l engine recall # 14v-634 and was revised with 17v-741 I am attaching a pic of alternator part number that is still on My Durango. This s my only vehicle and use it to make Heart Specialist appointments and run earns as needed, so can't be without it very long.

Car sputters and engine stalls. Appears to happen more frequently on 1) quick acceleration (I.e., merging, on-ramp, accelerating following a right turn) and 2) when climbing a hill (there is a bridge this routinely happens on). Occurs during city driving and on the highway. Engine shuts off without warning, sometimes not even enough time to coast over to the shoulder. Can typically wait 2-2.5 minutes and it will start again on its own. If you attempt to restart immediately, the engine won't turn over. This issue began in august with some sputtering, progressed to stalling occasionally (first time late august/early sept), and now will sometimes stall multiple times within a day. Have had into two different dealerships over more than three occasions and they have not yet been able to diagnosis the problem because it doesn't appear to have a code associated with it.

1. When I want to start my car it cranks more and long and does not start in first attempt, second attempt it starts. Took the car to the dealer they told fuel pump, and when the problem started its just only 110000kms. Send the message to fca they does not care they told the car finished manufacturer warranty we have to repair and its a known problem for them. Funny part is my friend also took the same car same model with one week difference he also face the same issues on same month on 2020 oct I belive. I already reported but no response. This fuel pump can cause problem while driving also if pressure fails and no supply of fuel then itbcan cause accident. The other thing is some other manufacturer for american and german cars already called for recall due to fuel pump on jan 2021, still fca manufacturer does not care they just ignore the complaint and issue telling warranty finish. 2. My second issue happend when around 65000 lms engine is giving noise ticking, dealer told tappet issue warranty finished cant do anything. U can drive its just give sound only. Now the sound is increased and I informed manufacturer they told y I did not tell before my warranty for car is finished, and if we go and check 2014 model durango the problem os common and they dont want to fix they just want us to pay huge amount of money to repair our own, they knows their car have these problems and they never bothered. On my view they have to take initiative to recall to fix. If u go to complaint forum there is lot like this problm. Fca just dont care after they sell their car and want to pay huge amount of money amd does not give reliable car. Nhsta have to involve and take action. Hope I will get positive action from nhsta where manufacturer ignored.

Yesterday when attempting to start my durango, it turned over but did not start. As this is the 5th time, I already knew what the problem was. I checked the fuse for the fuel pump and replaced it. It started back up fine. Although this time, this put my family and I in a very dangerous situation. When driving through a railroad crossing, the vehicle died on me. Moments later the barricades came down and I jumped out quickly to push the vehicle while my wife and kids were inside. I managed to get them out of harms way before the train arrived. Chrysler needs to recall this problem, like the 2011-2013 vehicles that are experiencing fuel pump relay switch. Obviously 2014 models are affected.

My vehicle is having a long crank time similar to the recall on more than 500k durango and cherokee models are under recall for fuel pump relay issue that can lead to stalls and no-starts. My car has been doing this off and on for over a year I have taken it to the dealership with no resolve, because they are saying it has to duplicate the problem while they have it, but it never does. Now my car is acting like it wants to stall while driving. This is scary while driving.

Intermittent no start condition/start and shut off at any time which started after vehicle taken to dealer to complete trans cooler condenser/motor mounts/radio replacement. Can happen at cold start or after vehicle has been driven. This has happened 6 times in a course of almost 3 months. Vehicle taken to scott robinson dodge in torrance, ca 3 times for this issue and they are unable to properly diagnose and repair. Had me replace battery and starter. Condition still exists. Dealer is playing guessing games with the repairs needed for my vehicle. I asked dealer to check fuses and wires to tipm. I believe my vehicle is being affected by the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v813000 and others which affected 2011-2013 durango's. Other 2014 durango owners have complained of a similar experience. A random no start/stall condition is very concerning since that increases my chances of a stall, crash and being stranded. Multiple times I have had my children in the car scared because the vehicle will not start. If the dealer is unable to diagnose and complete repairs, then who can?? I have young children and this is my only mode of transportation. I am without a vehicle and no loaner given by the dealer. If it weren't for covid, I'd really be out of luck with no other means of transportation. Chrysler needs review and expand the current recalls to include 2014 models or maybe a new issue needs to be identified and brought to light. Vehicle issue started 09/05/20 and has continued since. Suv taken to dealer 10/09/20, 10/21/20 & 11/04/20 for issue. They also advised on my 10/21/20 visit that my exhaust manifold bolts are broken which is causing a ticking noise at start up. This was never diagnosed at previous visits and noise has been there. I have attached a more comprehensive report.

So the first time I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my durango. I attempted to start the durango and it just kept turning but would not start. At first I though it was my fuel pump. Then I looked at the fuse and the fuel pump motor fuse was a little brown on the pin. So I replaced it with the horn fuse 20a and I when I turned it to the on position I could hear the fuel pump. During the second time this happened I was I a hurry to work. I got my kids in to drop them off and I got and and tried starting it. Same thing it just keep turning but no start. I check the fuse again and the fuse is really burnt but not blown. So I wait for my wife to get home so I can buy another 20a fuse. I replace the 20a fuse and it starts. Third time this happened yesterday 6-30-20. I checked the fuse and the fuse still looks good. Did my research and found out previous dodge durangos have been recalled with bad puel pump relay switch failure. Now my durango sits outside because it wont start. The bad relay switch is something that needs to be looked at with newer vehicles. I've noticed other 2014 owners are experiencing this.

The vehicle will not start once driven and turned off. When start is pressed after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle just turns over and don't start. I have taken the vehicle to auto nation dodge several times and the service dept claims they replaced the tpim but the vehicle stills wont start at times and does it more often when restarted

Car alert low voltage came on and then car would not start. When jumping the car, the car would turn off when cables came off. Was told alternator is bad. I googled and found out their was a recall for alternators but not my 2014 model. I believe mine should have been included because the description fits my issue as well and the vehicle is the same year, make and model. Dealership would not honor recall when should the info. On line.

My 2014 durango has been making a knocking noise on the front driver side for over 3 years now. I took my car in several times and to different dealers. It was always the same story, 'we couldn't find anything' I even had one dealership tell me 'sorry we can't figure it out, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.' are you kidding me!! My vehicle has been to the dealer over 5times for the same problem and it's never been fixed. Now it's out of warranty and out of their hair, just what they wanted. I need to help on what to do in this situation. Another issue I had was with the fuel pump. They fixed some problem I had a few years back, they actually broke my gas tank door after working on this issue. My car has once again come back with this same problem. Today my car won't start and is unfortunately out of warranty. I had a mechanic come take a look at it and it seems to be the fuel pump once again. Who's working on these cars? Drunks? I need help asap. I want to note that the knocking noise occurs every time I'm driving. No matter the road conditions. Smooth, bumping, raining, the knocking sound is there. It sounds like a rock hitting under the hood. It's not constant but happens every 3-5 minutes and I know it's not the lifters because I've also had the problem already and it's been fixed. Any help would be great. .

Vehicle shuts down while on freeway. Dealer was unable to locate problem. It happened again over the next 6 month's several times. New vehicle was at dealership many times. Dodge sent out a corporate machanic saying there was apinch in the fuel line. This happened again a year later, same fix at dealership. And two years later, I am having the same problem, car does not start anyone this time.
