NHTSA Complaint #10638269 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE WAY TO THE GARAGE AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING ON 4 OR 5 OCCASIONS OVER THE PREVIOUS DAYS. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, NO GAS NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE AND EVENTUALLY IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP ON 9-8-2014 AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE RELAY FROM THE TIPM TO THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2011 MODELS FOR THIS SAME THING; BUT MY SUV IS A 2012 MODEL. I WANTED TO FILE THE COMPLAINT AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CLEARLY IT IS HAPPENING IN MODELS OTHER THAN THE 2011. THE REPAIRS WERE ALMOST $300.00 FOR A PROBLEM THAT IT SEEMS LIKE OTHER MODELS ARE HAVING JUST AS THE 2011 DURANGOS. *TR
