2014 DODGE DURANGO Electrical System Problems

The alternator failed, and my battery would not take a charge. Had scanner used and report showed faulty alternator. I was driving and went into a parking slot, when I put gear in park, all power went out. The it wouldn't turn on, occasionally lights would flicker on and off. Tried to jump start it several times but it wouldn't take. Finally got a jump, truck started but the couldn't change gears. I have not taken it yet to get it diagnosed. I truly feel this issue should be a recall as I had no warning whatsoever. My vehicle has no power, and is well maintained

While driving all sensors began flashing simultaneously. I took to mechanic and a few codes turned up. One for speed messages. One for can bus and the other was U0001. Took to dealership service and they had it for a week. After charging battery all sensors were cleared. Same day driving home all sensors came back on simultaneously. Car began making noises and driving in limp mode windshield wipers turned on by themselves. Took car to Firestone to check battery. They replaced battery. Sensors were still flashing all the way home but no other problems. Next day i lost power steering and ability to brake. Nearly crashing the Durango. I eventually was able to pull wheel and get to side of road. I tried to turn off engine,, but it would not turn off nor would the shifter allow me to shift to park. I sat in idle for a...

Durango has HID headlights. Sometimes one or both headlights do not come on. It is not the headlight bulbs. This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes left doesn't light and sometimes right doesn't light. Safety of driving at night to my family and anyone else on the road is compromised! Many reports of this same problem on cars and trucks with HID headlights. The problem has been reproduced at dealer.

Replace oil filter housing and sensor 3 times on vehicle within 2 years. This was completed twice at the dealership and once at a body shop. Driver side window motor control Button fell off and inside Spring broke.

Service airbag system, service antilock brakes, service transmission, service shifter suddenly appear. Ater pulling over and turning it off the car went dead. Just spent $1500 for a new computer and two days later I have service airbag system. I have videos of the chaos. If this car is in an accident the airbags will not go off and passengers will be unprotected. The electrical issues in this car are beyond comprehension. Chrysler needs to take responsibility before it causes a catastrophic injury. The behavior of this vehicle is unacceptable and unsafe.

My 2014 dodge durango brake lights stay on while in park, can shift into park without pressing the break in, and can start without pressing break.

Internal failure of catalytic converter and body control module

Rear racetrack lighting fills with water. Could short out causing fire or no lights. Have had replaced in 2017. Now water leaking again. Common issue when searched for. Called dealers said dodge warranty has not been covering issue now. Have max care coverage.

Vehicle battery dies due to lights staying on after shutting vehicle off, i have been jump starting it so i can drive it but lately the car is acting up and turn off on me while driving on the freeway. I have read online that some dodge vehicle have te same issue related to the body control module.

Wife coming home from work around midnight on 03/24/2022. 2014 Durango suddenly started to not respond to throttle, and dash showed low voltage and stop running. After jumpstarting Durango shows only 10v on display and confirmed with voltmeter at alternator. entered my vin for recalls and it shows none open. She had just turned off major a major 4 lane state hwy and that is when it died. If it had died in middle of turn she would have been in a major accident. Durango was driven at 10 mph due to engine derating, with no light on and all acc turned off made it home lucky to have only been 1 mile from home and on neighborhood street. Inspection will have to be done at my home, Durango will not start. Cant afford tow bill I am on Disability and a fixed income. Low voltage light came on just...

My 2014 Dodge Durango SXT RWD alternator stopped working. Was on the way home on 03/24/2022 that night and was driving on 4 lane state hwy. when all of a sudden it started to cut out and the low voltage light appeared on display. I had no choice but to stop in the turning lane right before it quit running. Tried to restart and it just clicked, and dash display disappeared. Had to engage park override and manually push Durango across two lanes of oncoming traffic, luckily two men stopped to help me push it and helped stop traffic so we would not have to stop when we got it rolling. once we had it on side street I tried to restart once again, and it just clicked. Used a battery booster box to jumpstart it and with box on it would run, with box taken off it would run...

2014 Dodge Durango R/T- water pooled in the drivers side rear light, causing the LED's to short out. I called the dealership and it is well over a thousand dollars to replace this. Currently only operating with the passenger side light which is a huge problem in the state of MI. No warning lamps appeared... I noticed it after a car wash.

In October 2014, a recall was called for some 2014 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees because a electrical issue where the air bag light intermittently comes on and turns off repeatedly. My vehicle was not included but it is having the same issue which almost seems like a short in wiring. This is an issue that widely discussed in the Durango chat as other people are told as well that their 2014 is not included but they have the same issue.

Randomly car will flash shifter issue, brake issues, no bus, and many others. Wipers will then turn on and will go off by beeping horn. Then dash goes black. Sometimes during these frequent episodes transmission won’t shift out of low gear. Turn car off and it’s dead. Randomly restarts and acts normal for a bit. A month ago fuel pump went and paid $800 to repair. Been happening for a year. Today car is dead in driveway but randomly wipers began moving. Beep horn turns wipers off. This car is not right. Chrysler needs to be accountable and recall the TIPM box in these vehicle.

Fuel pump relay not working

Screen on center console gets extremely hot to the touch when car is running. Purchased the car 10 days ago and reported the issue to the dealer we purchased it from. Dealer arranged for the car to be taken in to one of their authorized dealers in the auto nation group which is closer to our home. Dealer was able to duplicate and stated the temperature registered at 120 degrees on the console and recommended replacing the head unit. This unit is overheating and causing the radio to short along with other buttons on the display to not work when pressed. Dealer we purchased from said they would take care of the issue then turned around and said the limited warranty will not cover this. This is extremely dangerous and could catch fire.

I am having starting issues, combined with stalling when it full power or even partial. I reviewed the recalls that were listed for this era vehicle. And it lines up with the fuel relay or fuse I can't remember which one it was that was happening on similar makes models and this year. I believe this should be involved in that recall, but it's not showing that it is.

The “service shifter” warning comes on and the gears begin to change on their own. This happen out of the blue and while driving the vehicle. Other dash board issues then come on and the car begins to say to service just about everything and then turns off the dash.

I was getting in the driver seat of my parked car. Prior to getting in I heard a loud thud that sounded like a spring released. The headrest safety feature had deployed. Again the car was parked and not in motion.

The shift lock mechanism failed to function allowing my vehicle to randomly shift from park to drive causing the vehicle to roll forward into another vehicle

1st ALL of the interior lights won’t turn off no matter what you do. Doors all closed locked still stay on while driving can’t manually switch them off 2nd yesterday I went to pick up my daughter at school and the car all of a sudden just stopped running. It won’t start. Before it would do that and I had to exit the vehicle and use the remote start. Tried it this time and it said fob deactivated and just beeped. Then the alarm went off and wouldn’t turn off. When the alarm finally stopped the radio turned on for no reason but the car still won’t start. Fob has a new battery still won’t start. This car isn’t even old and only has 60,000 miles on it. Lucky I was pulling over and parking I could have died. Apparently this is a known issue it had to happen to...

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HAD NOT BEEN USED SINCE 10PM THE NIGHT BEFORE. AT 7AM I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AS I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW. I WENT OUT AND THERE WAS A SMALL FLAME UNDER THE BUMPER NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE ALSO SOME WIRES SEEMED TO BE ON FIRE. I WENT TO GET A HOSE, AND WHEN I RETURNED THERE WERE FLAMES ERUPTING UP NEAR THE TAIL LIGHT. A NEIGHBOR PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH A DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED, BUT SUSPECTED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. I AM TAKING TO THE DEALER TO UNDERSTAND.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 60 MPH MY LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY THEY STOPPED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD NEVER CAME BACK ON. I REPLACED THE BULB AND STILL NOTHING. BEING ON THE HIGHWAYS I FELT I WAS CAUSING DISTRACTIONS TO OTHER DRIVERS FROM MY HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING AND PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER WITHOUT HAVING THE PROPER LIGHTING TO DRIVE SAFELY.

YESTERDAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY DURANGO, IT TURNED OVER BUT DID NOT START. AS THIS IS THE 5TH TIME, I ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. IT STARTED BACK UP FINE. ALTHOUGH THIS TIME, THIS PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A RAILROAD CROSSING, THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME. MOMENTS LATER THE BARRICADES CAME DOWN AND I JUMPED OUT QUICKLY TO PUSH THE VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE. I MANAGED TO GET THEM OUT OF HARMS WAY BEFORE THE TRAIN ARRIVED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM, LIKE THE 2011-2013 VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH. OBVIOUSLY 2014 MODELS ARE AFFECTED.

WATER IS GETTING IN TAIL LIGHT (RACETRACK LED LIGHTING) AND SHORTING OUT THE LED LAMPS. HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS OR GOES THROUGH A CAR WASH

INTERMITTENT NO START CONDITION/START AND SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME WHICH STARTED AFTER VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER TO COMPLETE TRANS COOLER CONDENSER/MOTOR MOUNTS/RADIO REPLACEMENT. CAN HAPPEN AT COLD START OR AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN A COURSE OF ALMOST 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO SCOTT ROBINSON DODGE IN TORRANCE, CA 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. HAD ME REPLACE BATTERY AND STARTER. CONDITION STILL EXISTS. DEALER IS PLAYING GUESSING GAMES WITH THE REPAIRS NEEDED FOR MY VEHICLE. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK FUSES AND WIRES TO TIPM. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS BEING AFFECTED BY THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V813000 AND OTHERS WHICH AFFECTED 2011-2013 DURANGO'S. OTHER 2014 DURANGO OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. A RANDOM NO START/STALL CONDITION IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THAT INCREASES MY CHANCES OF A STALL, CRASH AND BEING STRANDED....

ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2020 WHILE DRIVING ON A AVENUE MULTIPLES ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL WARNING REVEAL ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP, THE BRAKES LIGHT, AND A MESSAGE STATING "SERVICE SHIFTER"; THIS ALL HAPPENED ON A NICK OF TIME WHILE I HAVE MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR, VERY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE BOTH HE AND HIS WIFE WERE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V741000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WHICH HE LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE RACETRACK TAILGATE LIGHT LEAKS AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER GETS INSIDE AFTER ANYTIME ITS LEFT IN THE RAIN, OR AFTER A CAR WASH. THIS WILL BUILD UP AND CAUSE A SHORT. THIS ALSO FREEZES IN THE WINTER AND WILL EVENTUALLY CRACK THE ENTIRE EXPENSIVE TAILGATE LIGHT. THIS RACETRACK LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

2014 DODGE DURANGO - THE MAIN CONTROL PANEL IN THE CAR FREEZES WHICH RESULTS IN THE BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT TURN ON, NOT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST THE VOLUME OF THE SYSTEM, NOT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST THE CLIMATE CONTROLS, AND THE NAVIGATION FREEZES. THIS CAN HAPPEN EITHER WHICH THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR WHILE RUNNING. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD US MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AFTER ONE OF THE RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT WAS ISSUED AND THEY ASSUMED A FUTURE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST 3 YEARS AND NO UPDATES HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.

THEN I LOOKED AT THE FUSE AND THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR FUSE WAS A LITTLE BROWN ON THE PIN. SO I REPLACED IT WITH THE HORN FUSE 20A AND I WHEN I TURNED IT TO THE ON POSITION I COULD HEAR THE FUEL PUMP. DURING THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS I A HURRY TO WORK. I GOT MY KIDS IN TO DROP THEM OFF AND I GOT AND AND TRIED STARTING IT. SAME THING IT JUST KEEP TURNING BUT NO START. I CHECK THE FUSE AGAIN AND THE FUSE IS REALLY BURNT BUT NOT BLOWN. SO I WAIT FOR MY WIFE TO GET HOME SO I CAN BUY ANOTHER 20A...

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT ABOUT 5 MPH WITH YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE IS STILL SENDING GAS AND NOT IDLING STILL ENGAGING. IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL THE CAR WILL JUMP. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING, A/C NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, WINDOWS AND LOCKS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. *TR

MY 2014 DODGE DURANGE CENTER RACETRACK LIGHTING TOOK ON WATER AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SMELL THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE. I COULDN'T LOCATE THE TROUBLE AREA UNTIL THIS LIGHT BURNED OUT. AT 46,000 MILES, I FEEL THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE TO BE FACING. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS IS UNTIL RESEARCHING JUST LAST NIGHT. IF IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE WATCHED THE TROUBLE AREA OR BEEN PROACTIVE TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF REACHING THIS POINT WHERE IT DOESN'T WORK WITH AN ESTIMATED $1,000 TO FIX.

I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2014 DODGE DURANGO. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK, STARTED THE CAR AND AS IT WAS RUNNING I SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. I LOOKED AROUND THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE REAR TRACK LIGHTS HAD PARTS OF THE LIGHTS THAT WEREN'T LIT UP. I LOOKED CLOSER AND THERE WAS WATER IN THE LIGHTS. WHEN I FIRST VIEWED THE VEHICLE, I LIKED THE ADDED SAFETY FEATURE OF THE BACK BEING LIT. I AM EXPERIENCING CONDENSATION AND WATER COLLECTING INSIDE THE LIGHTS, RESULTING IN THE LIGHTS FAILING. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAVE SIMILAR CONCERNS. PLEASE SEE CARPCOMPLAINTS.COM. I AM ASKING THAT DODGE RECOGNIZE THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND DESIGN FLAW, AND HAVE THE TRACKING LIGHTING FIXED, AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE...

REAR "RACETRACK" CENTER TAIL LIGHT BURNED/MELTED CAUSING DAMAGE TO REAR HATCH,LIGHT,PLASTIC TRIM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THROUGH TOWN WITH TWO CHILDREN (AGES 5 & 2) WHEN SMOKE WAS NOTICED IN REAR OF VEHICLE, REAR PLASTIC WAS THEN PULLED/BROKEN OFF TO CHECK THE REAR WHEN THE BURNING/MELTING WAS NOTICED AND WATER POOLING AROUND BOTTOM OF TAIL LIGHT.

DRIVER SIDE HEADREST INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. HEADREST FASTENER DAMAGE IN THE PROCESS MAKING THE FASTENER UNREPAIRABLE. DEALER STATES THERE IS NO CURRENT OPEN RECALL ON THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THERE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ONLINE.

THE REAR RACETRACK LIGHTING ON MY 2014 DURANGO TAKES ON WATER WHEN RAINING, CAUSING REAR DECK LIGHTING TO FAIL. DEALER REFUSES TO ADDRESS ISSUE AND HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUE. I AM CONSTANTLY DRAINING WATER OUT OF REAR LIGHT RACETRACK. *TR

MY LIFT GATE LAMP ASSEMBLY IS RETAINING WATER WHICH IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORTS IN MY TAIL LIGHTS. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE STATE OF HAWAII WHICH CAUSED ME TO FAIL MY SAFETY INSPECTION AND I CANNOT REGISTER MY CAR.

REAR TAILLIGHT LED BAR WENT OUT AFTER WATER ENTERED THE LIGHT BAR THROUGH SMALL OPENINGS AND DEFECTIVE WEATHER STRIPPING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DURANGO ARE NOT SEALED GOOD ENOUGH TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING. THE LIGHT AND THE REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT ORIGINATED DURING PRODUCTION AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THESE PARTS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS BECAUSE OF WATER DAMAGE

REAR LED LITIGATE LIGHT COLLECTS WATER INSIDE UNIT AND BURNS OUT THE LED. THIS THE THIRD TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. LIGHT WAS REPLACED TWICE ALREADY.
