After my vehicle stalled while driving as stated by the prior recall, I have had the same problem as though my car will just stop running at any time. It is quite scary to think that I am driving a 'fixed' car and am experiencing the same problems as before. My car now unlocks and locks as well, which is a huge safety concern because I cannot keep safely any personal information in my vehicle or prevent it from being broken into. The intial recall repair did not fix the underlying problem. I am waiting for it to stall out.

Since I purchased this vehicle in January 2020 11th, it drove like it had bad gas in it. It wanted to go when I accelerated but slow to move. I was not told by the dealer nor given car fax about the recall and the dangerous it could pose to me and my family. I had a leak, which had to do with transmission and I repaired it out of our own expenses bc it wasnt covered. It also stopped turning on as well. My husband was visiting his sister, and it cut off while coming onto the on the ramp of a local street. Exactly what the recall said as notified in December 2020 happened while in motion on a busy road. I am thankful it was my husband and not me and my three young children. That day was January 1st 2021, the car was towed to my home, aaa only allows one tow. And gate of dealership was closed. It is still there. And I was told it was on back order the part and wont be in until February. I am without a loaner as well as a rent a car. Unfortunately the dealership in my home wont have the part until febuary and I already drove to the dealer I purchased from over 100 miles away 2X since our pruchase and its not safe to drive.

My Durango started to spurter around 30 mph and again at around 50 mph. It also seem to not have to power to get the Durango to get up and go it seem to lag and not have the power. I am not understanding why there is no replacement for the recall parts for this vehicle. Back in 2018 I had to get the vehicle looked at and they said there is no new product to replace the recall part and here we are in 2020 and still Dodge has nothing to replace the bad part with. I am having to purchase the part that is not working and replace it with a new bad part. Dodge it is time to get it together and fix

While driving in motion my vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection, I then had to coast to a street near the road, turn the truck off and restart it. No check engine light was present. It then happened again near my home, this was no longer than a 3 minute time span from the first time it happened. Weve had this happen at random times through out the year. Weve had a fuel pump relay replaced in January of 2020 which is 7 months ago and the same issue is occuring again.
