NHTSA Complaint #10748049 — 2013 DODGE DURANGO

APRIL 2014 NOTICED LOUD SOUND AND NO BRAKES AFTER GOING THROUGH CARWASH. SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL ON THE BRAKE LINE. PHONED DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD I WAS ON A LIST AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE JULY 2014. I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES BUT STILL NOT GOTTEN THE CALL TO GET MY CAR IN. HAD TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WATER PUMP - AT THAT TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT MY BRAKES AND TOLD ME I DEFINITELY HAD A PROBLEM AND WOULD MOVE ME TO FRONT OF THE LIST. STILL NO CALLS. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL MORE SAFETY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE BUT AM NEVER ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. I'VE ASKED SINCE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR TO GET A RENTAL AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY REFUSED. I WORK 40 TO 50 MILES OUT OF TOWN AND THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE. I'M ALREADY BEING PUT OUT HAVING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN WHY SHOULD I ALSO HAVE TO BARE THE EXPENSE OF A RENTAL CAR AS WELL. IT HAS NOW BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR, MY BREAKS ARE STILL BAD. I PANIC EVERY TIME IT RAINS. MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY STARTED CAUSING PROBLEMS ON STARTING UP - IT WON'T COMPLETELY TURN OVER - BUT IT JUST KEEPS STEADILY TRYING - IT WON'T LET ME CUT IT OFF AND IT'S LIKE ITS FLOODING ITSELF. I NOW HAVE A LARGE STACK OF RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I'M NOT HAPPY WITH DODGE AND THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. I'M PAYING A CAR NOTE FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.
