Our Dodge Durango 2012 was purchased in January 2015 from rick keefer Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in yulee, Florida. Two weeks later the engine light lights up and the engine is sputtering. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired vehicle and said it was the oxygen sensor and replaced. Again the engine light came on and the engine ran rough. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired and said they replaced the converter. Soon again the engine light came on. Found fuel cap 'popped off' a few times, engine light goes out then on again. Returned to dealer whom replaced fuel cap. There was also an oil leak fixed. Again the engine light came on and off and the engine would run rough. Smoke would pour out the tailpipe, engine sputtering, drove back from mountains. Returned car to dealer. They replaced powertrain control module and oxygen sensor (again). And again, late June 2015, engine light comes on and engine sputtering. Dealer takes car. Dealer tells us they are going to 'go through it' and drive vehicle entire time. We receive rental car. Dealer calls after week and said vehicle is ready for pickup but they are awaiting a converter and are going to replace oxygen sensor also. Vehicle mileage logged; vehicle was never 'driven'. rental car time was used up. Returned car to dealer when part was in. Dealer replaced converter but not O2 sensor?? they said it didn't need it. Drove car about 10 miles and got out. A very strong smell of burning plastic is coming from car. Dealer not returning call. Will be returning to dealer Monday july20, 2015. Still driving with strong plastic burn smell. Lifted hood. Wiring harness above heater line and converter(manifold) is burning. Entire right side of engine is unbearable hot. Silver metal box in front of fuse panel is so hot it burns to the touch. Car reads normal temps" most problems on blog occur in hot summer months. Coincidence"

I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when I retry it. I received a recall notice ( R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that I may experience a problem while I am on the highway.

Pulling out of our driveway accelerated the car died.pushed it back into the driveway where it now sits.cannot let my wife drive a car that I got for her as a present. It does start but I found out that the fuel relay on this car is subject to failure. Chrysler Jeep Dodge has to replace the whole tipm (fuse box ) because all the relays are made by the same company, omron. They proposed a patch for this fix not acceptable.the tipm has to be sealed from moisture and dielectric grease applied and reliable relays not by omron www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/channel-2-investigates-possessed-cars-and-their-da/nkcq3/.http://verticalvisions.com/tipm_solutions.php

For the past week our vehicle has been having trouble turning on some times the engine is going but the vehicle is not on. Today my husband was driving down the freeway going 65-70 mph when the engine turned completely off with no warning he was on the fast lane so he had to safely go to the right lane to a safe place before the vehicle lost anymore speed and cause an major accident. He tried turning it on and did with trouble and was able to move it out of the freeway. I called the dealership and they are stating it will take 1- 12 months to get the part for the recall for a permanent fix or we would have to pay for a temp. Fix. What can we do?

October 15, 2014 I was driving my 2012 Dodge Durango crew to work. While driving my engine completely failed without warning, causing me to drift into a concrete retaining wall. My car immediately went to the body shop and was inspected by my geico insurance. The damage totaled $5500, $500 of which was my deductible. Unfortunately, a part needed to repair the body was unavailable, so I was told I would need to drive the car for an estimated 3 months until the part was available from Dodge. I was clearly uncomfortable driving the car because I knew it malfunctioned. I took the car directly from the body shop to my local Dodge dealership. Please note ***geico insurance deemed the car "safe to drive" and refused to give me a rental. I took the Durango to the dealership and they kept it for 24 hours and dismissed me telling me nothing was wrong with the car. Neither my husband nor I were satisfied because in my 17 years of driving I have never been in a car accident and knew something was defective. Since then, I have started the car a handful of times, and it will immediately shut down. I just received the safety recall number R09/NHTSA 14V-115. This safety recall relates exactly to what happened to my Durango. I have small children that I drive with in this car, refuse to get on any highway with it for fear of it shutting down at 70 mph, and Chrysler refuses to correct the issue. I have proof of the $5500 in repairs, I have proof of the $500 I spent on my deductible, I have proof that I took it took a Dodge dealership, and I have proof that my car insurance rate has dramatically increased because of this claim. I'm stuck with an unsafe vehicle, no one accepting blame, increased insurance rate, $500 less in my bank account, and a car that in good conscience I can't re-sell. I would greatly appreciate any direction to get this injustice finally solved. Sincere thanks.

First incident: I drove about 80 miles out of town. Once I made it to my destination I returned to my truck to find out that the doors wouldn't unlock. I was able to take the key out of the remote to open the door. My truck wouldn't start. It was towed to the nearest Dodge dealer. I found out that the alternator had a recall and I was experiencing a known problem. I had to purchase a new battery and they replaced the alternator. I drove 5 minutes away from the dealership and my truck started to shut down on the highway. The sensor lights started coming on for the battery, breaks, etc. And the windshield wipers came on. After about a minute later my truck completely shut down. It is back at the dealership and I'm waiting for solution.

My 2012 Dodge Durango at approximate 45000 miles began to have problems starting. It will turn over and stall multiple times before starting. It will also turn the starter continually with out starting at all. Also it has had one incident to date of stalling while driving on highway. I was traveling at 65 miles per hour on turnpike when the car stalled for no known reason and I lost use of the gas pedal. After pulling to the side of highway I had to turn key off and restart to continue.

I bought my 2012 Dodge Durango 3 weeks and it is not starting properly. I used the keyless remote entry and starter but the car will not start or sounds like the starter is stuck. I have to turn off the car and try again. It will normally take 4-5 tries just to get the car started and it depends if it will continue to run. I am not happy with this and noticed multiple people have the same problems.

When trying to start the vehicle using the pushbutton, the vehicle will start trying to turn over but never start. On some occasions when vehicle is trying to turn over, the vehicle will start shaking violently like the engine is about to come off. I have caught the whole scenario on video. It was every now and then in the beginning, but happening more and more as it goes on. Hopefully there will be a recall to fix this problem soon.

The car hesitates to turn on and the battery has been changed, the fuel pump remains running when the car is turned off.

In my 2012 Dodge Durango it was determined that there is a problem with the total integrated power module which is affecting the way the engine starts and gets fuel to the fuel pump. The repair cost is $1213.71. It is my understanding that there are hundreds of documented cases regarding this issue in the Chrysler line and nothing has been done to correct the problem. It is unfortunate that Chrysler is awaiting a tragedy to take place before they do what is right for the customer and fix the problem that has been reported. I understand that a class-action lawsuit has been filed to address this issue. I just want to go on record in the event that something detrimental happens to me or my family because of this recognized and publicly documented part failure.

I have been experiencing issues with vehicle not starting with both the inside push button, and the remote start. It has lost power while driving twice, however I was able to maintain control of the vehicle. Yesterday however, it lost power, I still had control of the vehicle while it was shutting down, then it "powered" back up, during which there was about three seconds in which I had no control over the vehicle. I simply lost all control.I believe that the vehicle may be experiencing problems related to the fuel pump relay, possibly the tpim, alternator, or a combination of all three. I am taking vehicle in Monday to have two recalls done for brake booster, and vanity light wiring issue. At that time they are going to do a diagnostic on it to see what the issue is.

I went outside to start my car and it would not start it would just keep turning over but never crank eventually stopping. I then would attempt to start it again and the car would try to turn over then crank shake very badly then shut off. On the third attempt it would finally start and stay running. While running or idling engine would run rough vibrating/shaking. This happened multiple times throughout 2' weeks. I could remote start it without any problem but when it came to push to start it always had a problem. I called to set up a service appointment and it was two weeks later when I finally had an appointment. When it was finally time for the appointment the car had not did this in 3-4 days. Hasn't done it since. Service department could not determine what it was. Nothing was done. 4 days after the appointment and having 2 recalls fixed ( one of which was brake booster that they had me holding on for 3 months only did they fix it when I took my car in for the water pump, and pulley. I was told the same only 2-3 parts were coming in each month. If there is a recall get it fixed in a timely fashion not on your own time see are peoples lives!)and some computer systems reprogrammed and water pump and idler pulley were replaced the cel came on it was the weekend and service department was closed. We took it to the local auto parts store to have it diagnosed the code had something to do with the fuel system. A day later before the service department had reopened the light went off and has not came back on since. I see others with similar problems and see that there is an open investigation on this. Please issue a recall so this can be fixed on all cars affected before someone is hurt. We spend all this money on cars that are supposed to be safe then please make them safe or fix the wrongs so nothing will happen.

Initially in early July, 2014 my 2012 Dodge Durango developed a computer failure causing the battery to eventually drain, loss of engine power and ability to maintain or accelerate. Repair was made after the vehicle was towed to the local Dodge dealer, manfredi Dodge, staten island N.Y, and subsequently the battery repaired and the computer replaced. Shortly after the repair was completed the passenger airbag failure light would intermittently illuminate and the vehicle occasionally would not start. Another trip to the dealer and the passenger seat airbag sensor was reported faulty and the vehicle tipm sensor needed replacement or repair. Conferral with the dealer suggested that the tipm sensor be replaced rather than repaired to assure longevity of the repair and overall satisfaction. Vehicle is a lemon!

I was driving approx. 45 per hour, when the vehicle seemed to just shut off in stages, I was able to pull into a parking lot however it did not want to start for a few minutes. When I hit the push button, it would not start.also it has since been turning over, but not starting. This has been an intermittent problem, and has done this under all conditions including when it has been sitting, and after it has been driven.
