Check engine light by model year
What owners say
Check Engine light came on. Code states P0440 Evaporative Emission Systems. However, i looked to see if recall was issued for my vehicle and it states a recall was issued for this but not my vehicle vin number.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that he discovered an oil leak in the engine after the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective vapor canister purge valve and valve cover gasket. The vehicle was repaired; however, the oil leak failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer where the vehicle was then diagnosed with a defective motor mount; the service mechanic suggested both motor mounts be replaced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.
While driving my 2016 dodge durango limited, my check engine light came on, then the (ABS) light came on and then my battery light came on. Every light on the dash and system warning was lit up. Then they started flickering and then the vehicle died right in the middle of a busy city road during peak traffic. I have replaced the batteries thinking that may have something to do with it. I have had the alternator checked and it is good. I had to get it towed to my house and has been sitting ever sense with no power. I don't know what the issue is, but for a car to die in the middle of the road during peak traffic is completely unsafe and unacceptable. Plus I had only had the car for 2 months
'takata recall' problem when shifting, the check engine light and it said that there is a problem with the sensor. It always happen whenever im running in freeway. It's like shifting and whenever I put it on reverse I get stuck on neutral whenever I switch it to drive or park I had to turn off the car to make it work again
Went to drive my 2016 durango this morning, check engine light was on, and the car would not go into reverse. After turning the car on and off several times, and letting it warm up, it went into reverse. Took it to autozone to read the code (p1b14) and for the second time we have a problem with the park- reverse dial. Couple of weeks ago it was put into park and the car drove forward on its own. I guess someone is going to have to get injured before chrysler gets it together.
"takata recall" I've had several experiences with my 2016 dodge durango that was bought brand in june or july 2016 with 23 miles on it from a dodge dealership. A couple months after it was bought, the car cut off while driving presenting signals of "pull over", "check engine", "power train" and more. The signals were flashing non stop. Once I pulled over, the car wouldn't start or move so I put it in park and contacted the dealership. My car was towed to the dealership and the dealership stated that the repairs lied with the computer chip(s). It was a simple update needed. My husband and I paid for that. In march/april of 2017, we experienced our car rolling into the neighbors yard while on and in park. Our home camera taped me getting out of the vehicle while in park (according to the rear lights) in my front yard on the grass and then the car moving forward of which the camera stopped recording at this moment. When I walked back outside to my car, it was rolling onto the neighbors' property. I had to run and catch it. In the later months of 2017, the gas lever stopped working. After pushing the gas button, it wouldn't open and still doesn't open, so we have to open the gas using the "string" or pulley in the trunk space of the durango by lifting the lift gate to get to it. In december 2018, the car wouldn't start. Dodge towed it to the nearest dealership and a new battery was needed along with recall updates. January 2019, the vehicle's dashboard went out with no lighting or anything showing although the car was operable. It is currently still in the shop while my family of 5 is operating with one vehicle.
