I purchased this used vehicle around the turn of the year. It came on the ferry January 15, 2016. By Monday, the check engine light had turned on. C&F ran a diagnostic on January 20, and found code PO456. Within several days, I noticed water intrusion. The floorboards were wet and becoming drenched in the front ' and in the middle seats. Every time I came to a stop or turned, I could hear water rolling through the car. I took it to rc February 15. When the water problem was looked at, I was informed it is not a normal leak, but what is called a "phantom" leak. To fix this, they would have to gut the interior of the vehicle. When they went to restart, it would not start with the push button. The vehicle was taken to midtown auto where they found the battery compartment under the passenger seat 3/4 full of water. They were unable to diagnose the push button problem after 2 hours of diagnostic. They stated the water intrusion could be a danger to my life when I picked up the car after they had it for 3 weeks. On 3/9/16, the check engine light came back on. As of today, 3/25/16, the sensor for "check gas cap" comes on. This car will be returning in the morning to the dealership in anchorage via the ferry, but you should know that there are major issues with this vehicle. The water in the car is clean with no dirt. In the morning, there are puddles that distribute themselves from the front to the back of the car during regular driving. The entire floor from the front to the back is saturated with a lot of water. Rc enterprise said there is no window leak, no door leak, no roof leak. This must be something in the frame. This car collects water while driving or sitting in park. Due to the battery being under the passenger seat and in the floor and then filling with water, this is not a safe car.

My 180 amp alternator stopped working while my wife was driving the vehicle on a city street. The current P60 recall only covers the 160 amp alternator, but it should cover both pieces of equipment. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where it is sitting, waiting to get a new 180 amp alternator installed. I was quoted $900 parts and labor for the repair.

My issues began last November with the lift gate. While driving through my neighborhood, the lift gate decided to open. Alarmed, I stopped quickly and closed the lift gate. After I arrived home it would not open again. This continued for a week. The latch, interior button, and key fob would not open it. I scheduled an appointment and it magically started working fine just 2 days prior to the appoinment. The second issue we experienced came shortly after. The car would shut down after using the remote start after a few seconds. I found that the engine light was illuminated and re-tightened the gas cap. The light did not shut off, so I decided to take it very easy and monitor the vehicle for the rest of the day. The light eventually turned off. A week later and it is back on again. Not sure what is going on as everything appears to be fine. My wife drove my son to basketball practice and said she witnessed the heater turn on all by itself (after having been shut completely off). She turned it off and didn't give it much thought until it did it again. It continued to do this the entire drive to practice. It seems like this vehicle is possesed and I think this is just the tip of the iceburg. Hopefully, something dangerous will not happen with some other system.

While driving battery red light on dashboard light up make it home just 1 mile away. Next day when start the car to see if anything change or find anything wrong that I can see. The car start no battery light, no longer on, after like a minute I start backing out of my driveway and I heard a noise (like a buzzing) noise I drive back in my driveway, while engine running I open the hood to look from where the noise was coming and I see lot of smoke was coming from alternator I went shot off engine and it got the throttle body red light on the dash board on and the smoke intensified I shot off the engine and disconnect the battery to prevent the car to got on fire.the smoke still coming out of the alternator for approximately 15 to 20 minutes after I shot off and disconnect the battery.now I don't even want to connect the battery back. This is avery unsafe situation if I would be driving on a highway and the alternator fail it would disable the engine making it hard to steer the car and apply the brakes the power steering pump in this car is electric no electric power no steering assist, no engine running no break assist and the chance the battery fail because of short or burn alternator can cause the battery to overheat the battery is inside the car under passenger seat. I was lucky that I notice the situation right away and take action to prevent an accident or a fire.

My Durango has had many problems when trying to start it since I initially purchased the vehicle. I have taken it into the dealership about 7 times trying to figure out why it won't start on many occasions. I will also start and then shut down immediately. It is no longer under warranty and even after getting the R09 fuel pump relay fix I still have the exact same problem. After doing countless hours of research it appears it is the actual tipm that has gone bad and will cost me around 1500$ it is a disgrace that Dodge will not just recall the bad tipm. There are thousands of people online with the exact same problem as me and I would really appreciate it if you all will look into this more considering how dangerous it is especially if driving on a highway and your vehicle just shuts down for no apparent reason which is one of the symptoms of this bad tipm. Thank you

I was driving and noticed smoke coming from what appeared to be the drivers side visor. I recorded the smoke and called my husband (who thought I was nuts). When I would stop, the smoke seemed to stop as well. My toddler and I were able to park and evacuate the vehicle before the fire started. The fire department said it was an electrical fire, started in the wiring near the visor. Damage is shown in the pictures. Nearly $20K to repair it so the insurance company has totaled the vehicle. There is an electrical wiring recall #14V391000 on 7/2/2014 that states; "if the vanity lamp wiring shorts there is an increased risk of fire." I had this recall addressed in 11/2014...so why did this happen"! two weeks prior to my incident I had taken my 2012 Durango in for difficulty starting, tire sensor replacement, and to have software updates completed. Could this have triggered the short" the recall also states: "in affected vehicles, the wiring for the vanity lamp in the sun visor may short circuit, after a service repair is performed." I have really enjoyed my Durango...but this has been a terrible experience!

I had an alternator replaced after my car completely died while driving in November. I found out that they put in a similar part but didn't put in the official replacement part until 8 months later. I could have had the car for again and put myself and son in danger if it would have happened on the highway like the first time. Now they are finally doing it but didn't tell me it wasn't complete until I brought my car in for another issue. During that time I started getting a bad key message and the red security system dot on my indicator panel wouldn't shut off. At times leaving me stranded and wouldn't start. I took it in 3 weeks ago and they said they fixed it. Then out of the blue it started happening again and I had to request a tow since it wouldn't start. They are saying it's the win module., but I am not convinced. I want to know if this can be an effect of the alternator zapping the system when my car died and all the electrical components went haywire. It zapped my battery and it had to be replaced. The same win module in my car that is in other makes and models has been recalled in several other cars but not mine. This needs to be looked into.
