What owners say

I have owned a 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel and traded it when it got to 100K because the fuel pump failed and now I own a 2016 Dodge Durango Limited and I'm currently at 99K miles and this fuel pump has failed. There needs to be a recall on the fuel pumps with the Dodge Durangos. The car will hesitate to start and malfunction while in traffic and that is dangerous to the driver and other vehicles. This can cause a crash because the vehicle will stall and not operate. The issue was confirmed by the Dodge, Jeep and Lincoln dealer with both vehicles I've owned. There were no indications that this component was failing other than the hesitation to start a month prior and the hesitation went from every few days to every single day.

Was driving and the vehicle stalled well driving, Had a hard time trying to stop and could barley steer the vehicle. Vehicle was flashing shift to park. This has happened two times to me now and I took it to the dealership and it happened to them as well. The radio screen sometimes doesn't light up and it will freeze and won't let you do anything, when cell phone is connected via blue tooth it will disconnect and then reconnect and randomly turn the volume all the way up and music will start playing, A/C will randomly kick on when I didn't have it on due to it being winter time and use only the heat now. rear brake light the race bar part of it is out and Mopar won't replace, Hood of the vehicle has rust bubbles and the lift gate has rust, I asked Mopar about the warranty and they said I missed the expiration date and they would not cover it. Three of the tires keep losing air and I am now on my second set of tires in a year and two months, Valve stems replaced two times as well.

Durango stalled in middle of intersection. Unable to start and vehicle was towed to local mechanic. Mechanic stated the issues involves the alternator and it has affected the battery and we are still waiting to see if the PCM was affected. Mechanic advised me that he worked on the same year chrysler and had the same exact issue, but the alternator in that model was recalled. I have seen several other alternator issues similar to mine when searching the internet and am wondering why haven't these alternators been recalled if another vehicle made by chrysler has a recall but the durango does not. Vehicle was driving at low speeds up to an intersection and once stopped, it shut off. Originally thought it was the auto start/stop, but engine did not engage and power steering was also out. Unable to start there after.

My car stalled on me in the middle of an intersection. I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler. It would not move, all kinds of things started going off on the dash and codes . We had to pull the gear shift release to get it in n to push it out of the road. It lost all power and wouldn't even start had to jump it off and replaced the batteries still nothing, alternator and everything else tested good. No idea what's going on and the dealership has been no help! I haven't even had this car for 30 days yet. I have video I can send of what it's doing.

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
