While driving, the transmission gave out. There was no prior indication of any issue - no warning light and no different noise. The car wouldn't change gears, which was an extremely dangerous situation in traffic. This transmission is "supposed" to be so good that there isn't a way to even check the transmission oil - there is no dipstick. Dodge claims that the oil doesn't need to be checked, it is that good. Howerver, after the failure and having it towed to the dealer, the report was that the transmission was was black! How is a consumer supposed to be able to check a basic, required fluid with no dipstick? There isn't a way to have any preventative check on the transmission, yet it just fails without warning? There are at least two design flaws that compromise safety - no way to check the transmission oil, and the transmission completely going out without so much as an engine light coming on first. I purchased the car new, and it only has 70,000 miles on it - a transmission should not have black fluid and go out with that little use.

The left turn signal and the back track light go out at the same time intermittently. Also the stop and start function is still not working correctly and I had it at the dealer, dutchess dodge 2x's now. 1st time they stated the stop/ start battery and the 2nd time they replaced the cel and still having issues with not working correctly. I have only had this truck since october. There's no way I should be having these issues. There is definitely going on with this truck and not sure why there is not a recall. When I was driving and made a stop the start/stop function started working but then the left turn signal and the back track light stopped working . The first day I got the truck home the start/stop function was not working but the turn signal and track light were fine. I purchased the truck and it had 70751 miles on it.

A vehicle that was previously bought back due to the engine and console shutting off while in operation was sold to me by bill luke dodge in phoenix, az. I was informed that this problem was fixed and that it had been analyzed at a facility for months prior to being put back on the market. When we went to test drive it the salesman did explain that it had been difficult to start, but further explained that the shop would fix any issues prior to it being turned over to us. He stated it was a dead battery problem. The engine light was illuminated. Later that week we were delivered the vehicle and insured that they could not find any problems. This was may 1. On may 3, my wife drove to a local business, and when she returned to the vehicle, it would not start. When it would finally start the engine light was on, and it stayed on for two more cycles of the engine. This happened on two more occasions. On may 6, when the problem occurred again we were able to drive it to a local auto shop and have them run the code. The reader diagnosed that there was a u0100- "lost communication with the engine control module". I drove the vehicle for service on may 7. Over the course of the next several weeks the service personnel have discovered numerous loose wiring harnesses, though they still have been unable to completely remedy the issues. This issue has also been referred to the better business bureau.

Car stopped at idle for a few minutes - check engine light came on, tried to shift into reverse - light on shift indicator and dash blinked, no reverse. Tried drive - light on shifter and dash blinked, no drive. Luckily I was in a parking lot, but if this had happened on an interstate? Tried turning the car off several times for up to 30 minutes - impossible to move the vehicle! Scary! Hard failures need immediate correction. Towed to dealer - they said they will look at it next week. Woo hoo!

Our 2017 durango with 3000 miles, had an engine light for overheating, quickly thereafter an engine light popped on, transmission light popped on, all gauges then ceased to operate and the car turned off as we were coasting down hill (luckily into service station). The transmission is a dial and then putting it in neutral becomes an issue for the tow or to push it. The engine starting knocking terrible.

The first two incidents occurred while the vehicle was parked and idle. The vehicle would not turn on and all system indications were being alerted on the dashboard screen (power steering off, park assist off, check engine light, etc.). The third incident occurred while driving the vehicle down a main thoroughfare. The vehicle started "beeping" with a red LED flashing in the dash. The dashboard screen was alerting me to put the vehicle in park. Once in park, the vehicle shut off and I was unable to restart it. I have video showing the indications if someone needs to reach out to me. It is at a dealership service department for the third time, involving the same issues....updated 12/11/17 *bf updated 7/17/18*jb .
