There is a recall on 2012 Dodge Durango alternator but I have not received any information on this recall. As I'm driving my truck shuts off while driving, I'm afraid that if my wife drives my truck and this happens to her or myself with our kids in the vehicle and someone slams in the back of us I don't know what I'll do. So I took it to lia Dodge where I purchased it but they say it's nothing coming up when they scan it. But once again like I stated it keeps shutting off at least 2_3times pure month. So I would like to know if this problem can be taken care of fast. Thank you in advanced

The battery gets drain out without warning it happens once or twice a month lately it's happening more often, my truck won't start even if the day before was running battery was check and it's fine. Check engine light it's on now once the truck didn't want to turn on. Took it to a mechanic and he said it was a relay issue. Brakes are in the recall VIN check list along one other recall. The lights inside turn on and off as well as if there is a short going on while in driving mode it feels like the truck is loosing power even though it has gas. I'm afraid to drive it.

Using the push button start system, with the engine off, the brake pedal not depressed, and the transmission gear selector set to P(ark). When the push button start is pressed twice, the vehicle attempted to start up, and started to move on it's own. There was nobody in the driver seat, the brake pedal was not depressed, the transmission was in park. Blue water Chrysler dealership in fort gratiot, mi has verified this to be happening and reproducible.

We have taken my SUV in for this starter issue for almost as long as we have had it. It acts as though it is starting but wont turn over. We have to pop out the push to start button and manually turn the car off for it to stop. It does this multiple times in a row before starting. Finally after 4 or 5 visits for the issue, Dodge says its some fuel pump relay so they fixed that, but the problem returned. The car completely stalled one day while we were driving, and it stopped turning on. We lost all power, no power steering, and every light illuminated on the dash board. This happened as we were exiting the dallas North tollway... luckily we were exiting! we were able to pull off the side of the road, we had the car towed to the dealership. This occurred in Nov/Dec 2017. Over a period of about 4-6 weeks, they replaced the PCM and cat converter (both) and alternator. Now 4.5 months later the problem has returned with starter constantly turning over, its happened 2 days in a row now. We have to travel daily 20 miles each way down the I30 corridor in the dfw area. We are afraid that the car will just stall going down the freeway. All signs point to a tipm problem, but the dealership is unwilling to replace.

The check engine bulb is functional (lights up initially when turning on the vehicle), but does not illuminate when there is an engine code reported. I've encountered 2 different problems where the check engine light didn't illuminate. The electronic throttle control was malfunctioning, and the car occasionally went into limp mode, usually on highways while driving straight, sometimes at high speeds, risking a rear end collision. Fortunately the throttle control light illuminated, but there was no check engine light. The cruise control is malfunctioning, disengaging at random times at high speeds on a highway, again risking a rear end collision. No indicator lights illuminate, and there is no check engine light. An engine code read reports error P0572, which indicates a problem with the cruise control, but there is still no check engine light illuminated.

After pressing the vehicle ignition button to turn off, if you press the button to turn it back on, it constantly tries to turn over. This happens also when you press the ignition button and it doesn't turn over. If you press the ignition button, it doesn't start, press the button again, it constantly turns over. The only way to successfully start it after that is to get out of vehicle, close the door, and get back in. This has happened a numerous amount of times.

Computer failure: Bad alternator (for which there is a recall) malfunctioned, while the vehicle was in motion, and at the same time, damaged the computer, causing the engine to shut down. While driving, multiple warning lights (seat belt, oil, alternator, etc.) would flash on and off. I was turned into a parking lot and turned into a space, but the engine died and I coasted to a stop. Car would not start after that.

The failed tipm is dangerous and could leave you stranded from astalled engine. The failed alternator may have been a by product of the faulty tipm. This part should be part of a recall.
