NHTSA Complaint #11115125 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL & SMOKE COMING FROM MY CAR. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF IT WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR $640. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR DIED ON ME AGAIN IN THE TURNING LANE OF A BUSY STREET AT 4PM. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A BOOST. I HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN WITH A RECALL ALTERNATOR BUT IT WAS FOUND THE ALTERNATOR ALSO BURNED OUT THE PCM. I HAD TO PAY $700 TO HAVE THE PCM REPLACED. DODGE/CHRYSLER RECALL DEPT ASSURED ME I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY & PCM. IT HAS BEEN 2.5 MONTHS & NO REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE SUBMITTED RECEIPTS 3 TIMES BY EMAIL & FAX. THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. IN 2015 THE TPM & BATTERY WERE REPLACED. I WAS NOTIFIED BY PHONE OF A SUN VISOR LIGHT RECALL BY A LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER IN MARCH BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THE MAJOR RECALLS WITH THE TPM, ALTERNATOR OR BRAKE BOOSTER.
