NHTSA Complaint #10668938 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

AT ABOUT 54K/56K MILES THE AIRBAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF. WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED THEY DID NOT REPORT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF AIR IS SYSTEM BUT THAT WAS COVERED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEN THE CAR WOULD MAKE SUDDEN JUMPS FOR NO REASON, AIRBAG AND ENGINE AND BRAKELIGHTS REPEADEDLY CAME ON AND OFF. WHILE ATTENDING MY NEPHEW FUNERAL I GOT IT CHECKED SINCE I WOULD BE ON THE ROAD FOR NO LESS THAN 4 HRS. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A BREAK RECALL ONCE I GOT THAT FIXED (16 DEC) THE DASH WAS FLASHING EVERYTHING AIRBAGS, BRAKES, ENGINE. ONCE I PARKED THE CAR THE NEST DAY IT WOULD NOT COME ON. A JUMP DID NOT WORK. HAD IT TOWED AND TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM FOR A CAR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS OLD AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS ONLY PAYING FOR 2011 DURANGOS FOR THIS ISSUE. SO I AM PAYING IN LESS THAN A WEEK OVER $800 FOR AN ITEM CLEARLY THATS AN ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO AVOID NOT PAYING FACTORY DEFECTED EQUIPMENT. DISSAPPOINTED AS I ALWAYS BUY AMERICAN BUT CHYRSLER JUST LOST A CUSTOMER AND GAINED NEGATIVE ADVERTISEMENT. *JS
