2015 Dodge Durango engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 40 of 40, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle does not let off any warning that the engines overheating and the line stays in the middle of hot and cold but really my engines overheating my fan is not on and I get no indication No Light No notification stating me what the real problem is every time we hook something up to it to see what's wrong it lets off another issue with the vehicle and I can't seem to get it answer to what's wrong with the vehicle
my 2015 dodge Durango is making a ticking noise from the engine at all times. The truck only has 122088 miles and upsetting that something like this is messed up so early on. The noise seems like it must be the engine lifters. Have done some research and it’s common issue in similar make and models.
Front passenger seat belt won’t retract. Rocker arms ticking. They were fixed 15 months ago and ticking again
With hard acceleration, engine begins to overheat with temp gauge going all the way up to H, triggering overheating warning on instrument cluster. Vehicle ran normal, under any driving condition, up until 2-3 months ago when incident first occurred. I believe this is a major safety issue and other drivers are having the same issue. I believe this warrants a recall to ensure the safety of the vehicle and passengers.
There’s a tIck on the engine, sometimes there’s a strong smell of gasoline and idle is rough. There’s been a P0302 code. It’s already been inspected and a lot of components replaced but nothing seems to fix it. After research there’s plenty of people with this same problem apparently caused by premature rocker arms wear.

The key fob would be in the car, foot on break and the car wouldn't start. Even with a replaced key fob battery. It didn't give any indication that the key fob wasn't detected but the car wouldn't start. It happened a total of 5 times. Twice leaving me stranded with 3 kids in the car.
Engine code P0306 (cylinder misfire #6) Replaced the coil pack and spark plug, still misfiring. Moved the cylinder #6 injector to another cylinder head and it still misfires on #6. Know problems with the 3.6L Pentastar Engine but they say my vin isn't listed in Chrysler's extended warranty covering it. Also a lawsuit about it currently going on it Montana https://www.classaction.org/news/fca-us-hit-with-class-action-over-allegedly-refusing-warranty-coverage-for-pentastar-v-6-engine-ticking-defect Dodge refuses to fix it under any warranty and wants $4,000+!!! There are THOUSANDS of people having the same problem!!!!!!
There is a ticking sound coming from my engine. The dealer told me I need to replace my rocker arms. I've search and seen a lot of people having this problem with the rocker arms failing in the engine. If "a lot" of people are having this problem it sounds to me like a part defect by the manufacturer...
I was exiting a parking garage and applied my brake to stop to pay the parking fee. When I came to a stop the truck unexpectedly accelerated with my foot on the brake. I pushed as hard as I could on the foot brake but the engine was registering 4 to 5,000 rpms. My truck moved on thru the parking gate breaking the gate and then my truck entered into the main road. I almost hit two people walking on the sidewalk in front of the parking garage. I was able to move the truck into neutral once through the gate and the rpms went back to normal. Second event: in june of 2020 I was entering a different parking garage. I had to put the truck in park to open my door to retrieve the parking ticket. I got back in and put the truck in drive when I pushed on the gas pedal the truck again accelerated up to 4,000 to 5,000 rpms. I was able to brake and move the transmission into neutral and everything returned to normal. Third event occurred about two years ago. I had stopped at a red light with a car in front of me. The engine accelerated to 4,000 to 5,000 rpms. This time I had both feet on the foot brake. I then moved one foot over to engage the emergency brake. While stopped I could not move the truck from drive to neutral. Once the light turned green the car in front of me moved on. I was able to pull the truck over to the right curb and then I was able to move it into neutral. If I had not engaged the emergency brake I would have ram the car in front of me. I took my truck to a dodge dealer and they could not duplicate this event. These events are very alarming and very random. Any help would be appreciated.
I heard a ticking noise coming from the right side of the engine. Took it to farrish of fairfax, va (703‑273‑0200) dealership and they did the following, "removed valve cover and inspect valve train. Found worn out rockers on cylinder #5 intake. Camshaft lobe also worn out. Replaced right bank intake camshaft." at the current level, we did not notice any drivability issues and fuel mileage appeared to be normal. We couldn't even hear the ticking from inside the car with the windows up and radio off. We could only hear it form outside the vehicle. This appears to be a common issue. The mechanic knew exactly what it was when I told him we had a ticking noise in a durango. I didn't tell him the engine and he came back with "if it's a 3.6 motor probably a worn out camshaft caused by rocker arm roller bearings wearing out prematurely. Bring it on in." here's two links to a similar owners' experiences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dphcjldsw4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzif0gc4bgi we only had 49,237 miles on the vehicle, but were just out of the 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Dealership did cover cost of repair.
I am at 92,000 miles and I have a ticking sound in my engine. While just in park you can hear the ticking sound as well as when you excel while driving. I do my oil changes every 3,000 miles and I seen this is an issues on a lot of other dodge durango models. Should this me a recall with this happening to so many?
Rocker arms or lifters causing 'ticking noise/ sound' at 113,000 miles. After online research, many dodge durango 2014 and later modes have same issue.
Engine races while in park
My car doesn't want to shift or it gets stuck in 5th gear I have to pull over and out my car in park and turn it off and it will go back to normal for a little bit then do it all over again and when it does it its like it will down shift jerk me around go back in 5th gear then be stuck in 5th so when I slow down it will not change
My engine has started making a ticking noise. I got online and did some research and this is a well known issue for this engine. Why has there not been some sort of recall if this is common?
While driving the vehicle randomly stalled/died, though the instrument cluster/electronics stayed on. I tried to start the vehicle, but the engine wouldn't turn over. The instrument cluster cycled through random error messages "vehicle phone requires service, service airbag system, oil pressure low, service electronic throttle control". Dodge dealership said they couldn't replicate the issue, and sent me home. On 4/4/2020, and 6/626/2020 the engine wouldn't turn over despite the instrument cluster turning on. On 4/15/2020 the dealership said the battery was defective and charged me to replace it, but the issue is still not resolved. On 5/1/2020 the trunk randomly opened while the vehicle was off and in my driveway, it was raining. On 5/27/2020, while driving in a storm, the instrument cluster said "service electronic brakes, brake fluid low" and the parking brake light kept coming on and off. The errors never showed up again after the vehicle dried off. On 6/26/2020, a day after a thunderstorm, the engine wouldn't turn over even though the instrument cluster came on. The ignition was stuck in "run", and the p/r/n/d lights were all on, and the instrument cluster said "service transmission continue in d do not shift or turn engine off"; but the engine was off. I had to disconnect the battery to turn the vehicle electronics off. *** every single time the vehicle has died while driving or failed to start while parked, I have gotten a u0100 engine code san antonio dodge chrysler jeep has failed to diagnose or fix the issue, and dodge corporate has failed to provide any resolution except to tell me to take it to a different dealership.

Driving on freeway coming back from payson area and we heard a pop noise at drivers seat headrest and saw that the headrest popped open. We didn't know it was an airbag until a dodge dealer said that it was the airbag and it's not under warranty and can't take care of it. Kept asking if we were in a collision when the headrest broke and we were not! We were driving at about 65 miles an hour when that happened. We were also told that our motor mounts have to be replaced and the vehicle is only 3 years old. We have kept our vehicles for longer than this before and never had to replace motor mounts. Not sure if they are defective or if these problems are just because it is a dodge. I have never owned dodge before. I've been driving the vehicle with the headrest open for about 2 months now as one dodge dealer in tempe made me go to the one in avondale since that is where I purchased it from and I had to make appointments each time and it took forever to get the appointments for each. Now my neck hurts as a result of driving my vehicle with my head leaning forward and still I haven't heard from the warranty company or the dealership. I called an 800 # after the dealer told me they couldn't do anything and they were to call me back within 3 days and now it's been about 2 weeks and no word from them. The date below is approximate. Please help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
