2016 Dodge Durango engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On 06/2018 I came home and pulled into our driveway. I put our dodge durango 2016 with 21110 miles in the park position and I then opened our garage door halfway open. I walked under the door and went into the house to get my wallet out of my pants which I was wearing earlier. It was a couple minutes later when my wife and I heard a big bang. We both ran out to the garage and saw the 2016 dodge durango SUV halfway into the garage. The garage door was stopping the SUV from gaining speed and coming into the house. It damage our garage door significantly and put scratches on our SUV hood and windshield. Luckily the garage door stopped it otherwise it would've broken down the wall and could've ran over one of our children or us or done so much damage. My garage door is damaged in our SUV is scratched up and fortunately it's not our life that was hurt. As far as the engine is concerned with you a knocking when we press the gas at first. Between first and second gear. Sound like a lifter is going or are bad
While at a stop light, the engine shut down completely. I had to shift to park and restart the truck, then shift to drive. This happened at least twice.
This is the 3rd time that while driving my engine shut off! The repair shop "fixed" the issue but the day I drove home it died again while driving and I had it towed to dealership service department. The repair lasted maybe 6 months? The engine died again while driving to work. The service extended warranty is giving me the run around about providing a rental and covering the repairs. I cannot be driving a vehicle that shuts down while driving! What if this happens while going 70 MPH to work in austin?! I'm not wrecking and dieing because of a lemon car with safety issues
The truck just shuts off while driving and now it won't even start so I am out of a car
This may be a scenario for the ongoing investigation of rollaway (the federal safety agency action number: pe16014) the vehicle in this scenario was stationary. I follow the normal procedure for parking my durango by (1)applying parking brake, (2)moving the shifter to park, (3) turn ignition off, and then (4)exiting the vehicle. Today, I brought my vehicle to stop for parking, which triggered the stop-start system, turning the engine off. At this time, before shifting the transmission to park, I opened the door of the vehicle. This action of opening door made the stop-start system unavailable. After this when I lifted my foot from the brake pedal, and moved transmission to park (with park light lit), my thinking was that the vehicle would start its engine as it would be coming out of stop-start system. But, this did not happen as the driver door was open and the stop-start system was disabled. At this time, when I lifted my foot of the brake, the car advanced forward with no power. Even then the engine did not start. Then I turned the car off and turned it back on and all worked fine. While checking this scenario again, I turned the car off while the stop-start was deactivated. The vehicle did a powerless rolling. I started the vehicle again and all worked fine. It seems that the opening of the driver door before the vehicle exits the stop-start system initiated engine-off, causes the vehicle to enter a state where things are not predictable. My expectation was that the taking foot off the brake pedal or changing gear shifter, would make the engine come back to life. But that did not happen. I hope that there could be solution for this issue. I always apply parking brake since the time I have learned how to drive, and that surely must be helping me here.
