NHTSA Complaint #10920306 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK LATE ONE NIGHT, THE DURANGO STARTED ACTING UP LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF, THE WIPERS WENT ON AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF, SEATS WENT BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING!, RADIO, HEAT, AC. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND FINALLY MANAGED TO MOVE OVER TO A SECURE LOCATION OUT OF HARMS WAY NO SOONER DID I PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN THE DODGE COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TO COAST DOWN A HILL. TRIED TO TURN IT OVER AND NOTHING. NO LIGHTS NO RADIO NO NOTHING. IT WAS DEAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS THE BATTERY, INSTALLED A NEW ONE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. FAST FORWARD TO LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER- SAME PROBLEM. DRIVING TO DROP OFF MY 5 YEAR OLD AND IT STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN COMPLETELY POSSESSED. HOW IS THIS SAFE? I MADE IT TO WORK WITH IT GOING CRAZY. AT LUNCH, I WENT TO START IT AND CHECK IT OUT. DEAD. BRAND NEW BATTERY DEAD. 400 BUCKS DOWN THE DRAIN- WHEN THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THE 200 BUCKS TO TOW. I BROUGHT IT TO A LITTLE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AND THERE IT SITS. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT OVER THERE. IT IS REALLY PATHETIC. SO NOW ADD'L TOW CHARGES-$200, NO VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND CHILD'S STROKE THERAPISTS, AND HAD TO BREAK DOWN AND PAY FOR A RENTAL. WHAT A JOKE THANKS DODGE. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE TIPM ISSUES AND REFUSE TO RECALL ANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS A HUGE HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. EVERYTHING JUST DIES.. THE ENGINE THE BRAKES DON'T WORK NOTHING. *TR
