NHTSA Complaint #10836531 — 2013 DODGE DURANGO

WHEN ACCERATING FROM A STOP OR EVEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO SPEED, THE VEHICLE DOGS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. EVEN WHEN GETTING FROM THE ONE RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A HESITATION. THE RPM'S GO DOWN RAPIDLY, THEN I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GET THE VEHICLE TO KICK IN TO GET IT UP TO SPEED.AT ONE POINT, I HAD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GET THE ACCELERATION I NEEDED TO AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I HAVE HAD IT T A DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS AND ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A DODGE ISSUE WITH THE GEAR RATIO AND THAT IS THE WAY IT IS. I EVEN HAD 2 MECHANICS DRIVE ALONG AND THEY NOTICED IT,BUT DID NOTHING. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF DODGE DOES NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014. THIS IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCEI THOUGHT THEY COULD FIX THIS ISSUE AND STILL NOTHING. I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON THIS.
