The check engine light came on, and it was taken to the dealer a few days later for service. I was told that it was code P0741: Torque converter clutch circuit performance and that it was a Chrysler star case: S1321000013, which meant that the only solution was to replace the transmission, at a cost of $5,000. The vehicle had an extended warranty that recently expired, only has around 84,500 miles and has been serviced regularly. I contacted Chrysler for financial assistance as this issue was not my fault and was denied. Called in twice, wrote a formal letter of complaint, and sent an email to Chrysler complaint department. Have yet to receive any response back. Vehicle is not safe to drive and currently parked.
The contact owned a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at kelly Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram (501 state ave, emmaus, pa 18049) the vehicle had caught on fire while the mechanic was repairing the power control module. The fire department extinguished the fire. The contact mentioned that the fire department informed that the fire started under the hood by the control module. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not provided. Failure occured once on August 2017, twice in July of 2019.
The transmission oil cooler has broken at the seams and leaked twice on my vehicle, resulting in a loss of transmission fluid, causing the vehicle not to move and to potentially be a fire hazard. This first happened in 2017 and I had the unit replaced; then happened again in 2019. Must be a defect. Now I no longer feel safe driving the car.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. While driving, the transmission caused the vehicle to jerk violently when the rpms reached a certain number. The failure occurred often and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that a new transmission needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Takata recall. I could feel my car was not shifting properly then finally my check engine light came on & I went & got the code P0730 read it came back as gear ratio. Something to do with the inside of the transmission.
Around January of 2018 my 2013 Durango R/T 4WD low light starting blinking while driving on the highway, pulled over to try and get it to turn off by placing in neutral and turing off. This fixed it and began to drive again on the highway and the light turned back on, no check engine light ever came on. Took the truck to one of the local Dodge dealerships and they stated that the vehicle was in working condition and meeting manufacture specification. Then again in August 2018, my transfer case started to make a ticking noise and would engage into low by itself when taking turns and no dash light warning. This time I took it to a local driveline shop and they identified that the transfer case needed to be rebuilt and that it burnt out the transfer case motor. The transfer case would not engage in 4WD low by using the switch but would engage on its own. Still, no check engine light or notification that the transfer case motor was in operational. Additionally, when I took the truck in for the 4WD low issue, I had them look at the RPM gauge and radio. The RPM gauge would just bounce and hesitate when accelerating and the radio would just change stations by itself. After inspection by the local Dodge dealership, they stated that they see the issue with the RPM gauge and radio, but since the vehicle is meeting all manufacture specification they are unable to do anything.
Engine shutdown twice today during low speed driving 30mph. Needed to shift to neutral and move key to off and restart. During shutdown dash lights went dark - no RPM, speed or warning lights were turned on. Has happened multiple times since 2017 including when accelerating on an highway ramp, currently shutting down daily typically when engine is cool. Humes Dodge in waterford pa could not replicate issue when vehicle was checked 10/2018. Dealer stated battery was low capacity, battery replaced and issue repeated. No fault codes shown in computer scan.
Our Durango was purchased brand new in 2013. By the first 10,000 miles I could tell that the transmission was slipping. It would sound out of gear a lot of times, and would lack power when accelerating as if I weren't giving it gas. I reported this to the dealership, who repeatedly dismissed it as being nothing. Finally at approx. 30,000 miles+, my check engine light came on. The dealership dismissed it as being a sensor problem. But the check engine light came back on within a week. The dealership attributed this to the weather! finally at approx. 45,000 miles, the dealership said my torque converter was bad and I needed a new transmission. However, instead of putting in a new transmission, they rebuilt ours. Some 40,000 miles later, we noticed the same symptoms again. However, no check engine light came on. And once again, we were told it was nothing. As the problem persist, we decided to take the vehicle in for a transmission servicing. However, the dealership could not do it. We were told that our torque converter was bad again, and we needed a new transmission. But this time we would have to pay for it, as the warranty had expired at 100,000 miles. Never mind the fact that they had to replace/rebuilt it at 45,000 miles. Go figure? fast forward to the present.....our transmission has gone out again. This will be the third replacement, and fourth transmission for our vehicle. Something is definitely wrong. We've also noticed that the truck will stall at times while in motion. It will simply turn off! this was terrifying, and by the grace of god, didn't cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. While operating the vehicle, a clunking noise was heard coming from the transmission. While driving approximately 60 mph, the check engine and traction control indicators illuminated. The vehicle suddenly lost power and would not accelerate properly. After stopping and restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (lockmandy Dodge, 920 N nappanee St, elkhart, in) where the transmission sensor was replaced and the transmission fluid was flushed, but the failures continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was invalid.
In the AWD version of the Durango the SUV will shift into AWD low while the car is in motion without the control knob being turned. The car will flash the low light and then shift into AWD low. The car will not come out of AWD low at all. This issue randomly occurs. We have taken the car to the dealership three times to have them look at this issue. They have replaced the transfer case and the sensor and the issue still is occurring with the car. The issue will occur with the car in motion or in park and is at random times. The car will not come out of AWD low when following the manufacture directions, it will come out of low at random times or not at all.
Was driving down the road and I heard a "thunk" the check engine light came on and when I pressed the gas pedal there was no power. I had to put it in neutral then back in to drive for it to work again. This happened shortly after accelerating.
While driving on the highway with my wife and kids the truck had hard shift then went into neutral. The engine light came on. My wife panicked but I was able to get her to pull across the three lanes of traffic on the highway to the shoulder. Once stopped we manually shifter to park then turned off the car let it sit for a few minutes. We restarted the car and everything appeared to be working fine except for the service light which was on. The error code was a P0730. Incorrect drive shift ratio. The transmission is automatic. There are a lot of threads about this issue on multiple Dodge vehicles up to 2015. It appears to be on the 5 speed. I called Dodge customer service and am bringing the vehicle into the dealer. I also had Dodge customer service open a escalated ticket for the issue. Vehicle has a little over 50,000 miles at the time.
