The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the alternator. The contact was informed that the ECM board was faulty due to the damage on the voltage regulator. The following day, while the contact's wife was pulling out of the parking lot, the vehicle's electrical system began to show signs of a low battery. Shortly after, the vehicle shut off due to a dead battery. The vehicle was towed to barbera autoland (located at 7810 roosevelt blvd, philadelphia, pa 19152, 215-309-8670) where it was diagnosed that the ECM board failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened case number: 68047300. The manufacturer contacted the dealer who stated that the recall part was replaced and the ECM board was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

For weeks my 2013 Durango SXT won't lock when pressing the key fob and sometimes when I unlock the car, the horn goes off several times, as if I'm locking the car. I've replaced the battery in the fob, so not sure why it's not working properly. My liftgate lock stopped working for a month and recently started working. My check engine light is on and the car randomly has a delay in starting. I'm reading that it could be a fuel pump relay and the 2013 Durango has a recall for it, but my VIN isn't included in the recall even though it had a tipm recall that was repaired, which is closely associated with the fuel pump relay recall.

For the past 2 weeks my Durango has been shutting off while driving latest incident 60mph on the highway. The vehicle has restarted each time so far. I looked up a recall 15V115000, 14V-530. These both state they are not for my vehicle by VIN, however by year it is.

I had come to a complete stop at the traffic light on hhwy 138 on jonesboro road in union city, ga. On Oct. 4, 2019 vehicle electrical system shutdown in front of a busy intersection. This is the second occurrence last report filed in July 2019 in mobile, al. I had to direct traffic away from turn lane to keep from getting hit I was traveling alone that day until the police got there. Union city police dept was called to help push me out the street to the nearest parking lot.

Wife drove vehicle with no issue, and after arriving home - with 3 children in the vehicle; while stationary (in park) & vehicle running (while kids finishing watching a video), she heard a 'terrible squeeling sound'; she sequentially closed sunroof, turned off A/C, and lowered sound level of stereo - sound persisted. She turned car off, then back on - smoke began to bellow out of the engine compartment. A fire extinguisher was discharged through grill area by a family member (who is a certified emt/fire fighter, if that matters), who did not want to open the hood. I arrived ~15 minutes later, and opened the hood and the alternator was clearly smoking, and the serpentine belt was discolored on the alternator pulley. Called auto service for tow. When wrecker arrived, I attempted to put car in neutral, but no actuation of the shifter would work - as no power; tow service had to use the bypass. Vehicle taken to dealership. I did some cursory research on this phenomenon, found an outstanding recall for this issue (T36); I called following day to make recall claim. Fca "special investigator" did an investigation on 9/10, I have not heard from them - and I have called no fewer than 4 times inquiring. Dealership service manager informed me late yesterday he received approval to perform work on the two (2) outstanding recalls on vehicle, but not covering damage due to the fire - at least that is what was relayed to me.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The driver was concerned about her safety the contact was concerned that the alternator may have failed while driving at approximately 70 mph, without warning the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. Garber Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram located at 5330 bay rd, saginaw, mi 48604, (989)399-8550, was contacted and an appointment was made to have the vehicle diagnosed but was still pending. The contact stated that the failure was experienced once before. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 119,880. Consumer stated the issue was a failed ignition switch. That should be investigated because it failed without warning.

My vehicle stalls while driving in traffic on a city street. However, the vehicle starts right back while it's coming to a slow roll. I try to crank it will rolling to prevent an accident. I have had the vehicles battery, alternator, starter, and fuel system checked. The ignition switch was replaced in the vehicle because the vehicle push start button gets stuck and a new keypad was programmed for the vehicle. The vehicle stalls while in motion at any giving moment.

Same as Feb 2015 recall. Fuel relay replaced June 2019. As of July 9 2019 back in shop for tipm issues and replacement. After 4 days and a 3hr diagnostic study it was determined that the timp would need to be replaced and possible other modules. Vehicle originally had starting problem. Once fuel relay was replaced that ended. Then vehicle started but all dash lighting and error messages started flashing stating fcw was off, showed hill ascent indicator, showed brake indicator neither were on, showed service engine indicator and others. Wipers would randomly swipe even though they were off. Warning bell would randomly ding as if the seat belt was not fastened. It was. Headlights would randomly flash and the doors would unlock (this problem has been happening for 3-4 yrs but service would say to check key fob battery or possible interference of something else. Did drive vehicle to work approx 4 miles and home the first day of problem. Next day vehicle went straight to dealership approx 8 miles away. Still there 4 days later. Not repaired. Apparently my VIN is not part of original recall and now I will have to pay a minimum of $1560 for repairs in addition to the $472 I spent on the fuel relay.

Forward collision warning (fcw) off light going on causing transmission to down shift gears while driving; causing you to have to come completely turn off the vehicle to stop the issue from happening. It appears a faulty sensor is tripping the transmission/electrical issue.
