NHTSA Complaint #10747105 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

THE VEHICLE FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND CHRYSLER WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE. THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP IN REVERSE OR ROLL AND NOT GO IN GEAR. LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. THE MOTOR JUST CONTINUES TRYING TO TURN OVER. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TRY TO START A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WILL RUN. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. I STARTED IT AFTER PUTTING GAS IN AT A GAS STATION AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DIED. I STARTED IT AND STARTED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIED AND CONTINUED ROLLING. IT ALSO DIED WHEN MY WIFE WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY SONS SCHOOL. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR ALMOST A YEAR TO GET IT REPAIRED. I FIRST REPORTED THE INCIDENTS IN 2014 TO BOTH CHRYSLER AND A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANT GET THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER....UPDATED 09-29-15 *BF
