NHTSA Complaint #10616006 — 2006 DODGE DURANGO

1996 DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 5.7 LITER HEMI - I BOUGHT USED CAR SALESMAN IT IN DECEMBER 2012. IN FEBRUARY OF 214 WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER READING SEVERAL DIFFERENT INTERNET FORUMS I DISCOVERED THE ENGINE FAILURE WITH MY DODGE DURANGO WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. LIKE OTHERS I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO OUR MECHANIC'S BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. WE ALWAYS GOT OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT OUR MECHANIC'S BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD KNOW THE CAR BEST AND BE ABLE TO INFORM US OF ANY IMPORTANT RECALLS OR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HE IN TURNED TOLD ME THAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE DODGE DURANGO ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID DODGE KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AT ANY TIME. IT IS A SAME THAT DODGE IS PULLING THE SAME THING AS GENERAL MOTORS HAS DONE. PLEAASE LETS FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. SO I AM HERE WITH MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO PARKED IN MY DRIVE JUST WAITING FOR RECALL. IT IS GETTING CLOSER BECAUSE YESTERDAY THEY JUST RECALLED THE 2005,2006,2007 JEEP BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAID ON TUESDAY THAT IT WAS RECALLING AN UNDISCLOSED NUMBER OF OLDER JEEP S.U.V.S TO CORRECT AN IGNITION-RELATED STALLING PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THE DEADLY FLAW THAT HAS CONSUMED GENERAL MOTORS THIS YEAR. HOW ALSO OWNS DODGE SO I KNOW THEY KNOW ABOUT THE DODGES PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT MY SENATOR RICHARD BLUMENTHAL OFFICE CAN NOT DO A THING, BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN HURT OR KILLED AS OF YET. IT FEELS LIKE. *TR
