I was driving to work and when I turned into my job the steering wheel became hard. I parked my truck turned it off and turned it back on and all of my dashboard lights came on and didn’t go away. The truck would not go into any gear. Initially, we thought it was a battery problem so they changed out the battery all the lights turned off but my truck is still not going into any gears. I was told due to the recall my truck is making it seem like I’m not pressing down on my break so I can’t shift gears and I cannot drive my truck. I called Chrysler and they told me that the only thing they could do was give me a rental that I had to pay $50 every day which I don’t think that’s fair because my truck isn’t working due to a recall that I didn’t cause. I don’t need reimbursement or any of that. I need a car. They told me that the car part might come in the first week of December that’s three weeks without a car. I need a vehicle.

Between the transmission slipping since 30k, the engine knocking. The check engine flashing. I have changed the coil packs spark plugs, all filters and still nothing, the auto stop/start does not work it flashes Boggs out and loses power. The whole steering wheel and truck vibrates and shakes to a point you feel like you’re on an incline going up a roller coaster. I have replaced batteries 2x the windows no longer auto roll down when using fobs even w new batteries and re programming electrical system power randomly fails and all lights go out the. Screen goes out stops working for days on end .

We purchased our 2018 dodge durango srt in 02/2018. After 300 miles, all dash lights lit up and a trouble code of ESC was displayed. We brought it to the dealer who advised there was water penetration of a wiring harness connector which lead to the axle actuator shorting out. It was repaired by cleaning the connector and replacing the actuator. We picked up our durango 4 days later and drove it an additional 990 miles at which time the same issue happened - lights, ESC message. We dropped it off at the dealer on march 26, 2018 and they advised the same issue occurred, water penetrated the harness connector and shorted out the axle actuator. Parts are not readily available at this time as the dealer indicated all the awd durangos are having this issue. The harness is on back order through the middle of april. I've contacted fiat/chrysler and on the first repair, they covered an extended warranty to 85 months for us. In my second contact with them, I was advised this will be an ongoing issue as they have no fix for the harness connector issue and actuator problem. The dealership advised once repaired the second time, the issue will recur once driven in wet weather. Both issues occurred as my wife and I were driving, which resulted in the loss of awd, cruise, and other safety functions of the vehicle. Both times is happened, we were driving in wet and/or snowy weather. *tt *cn *js
