I have owned a 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel and traded it when it got to 100K because the fuel pump failed and now I own a 2016 Dodge Durango Limited and I'm currently at 99K miles and this fuel pump has failed. There needs to be a recall on the fuel pumps with the Dodge Durangos. The car will hesitate to start and malfunction while in traffic and that is dangerous to the driver and other vehicles. This can cause a crash because the vehicle will stall and not operate. The issue was confirmed by the Dodge, Jeep and Lincoln dealer with both vehicles I've owned. There were no indications that this component was failing other than the hesitation to start a month prior and the hesitation went from every few days to every single day.
Vehicle was parked in a public parking area. Engine off. No one in vehicle. Vehicle had a combustible event occur under the hood. Fire Department came to extinguish. Vehicle was declared a total loss. Vehicle was in excellent condition and well maintained … no prior history of issues other than routine maintenance. No recent maintenance done under hood on vehicle. No body was hurt. Thankfully. One other vehicle was damaged … plastic melted due to heat of fire on the driver side.
Check Engine light came on. Code states P0440 Evaporative Emission Systems. However, i looked to see if recall was issued for my vehicle and it states a recall was issued for this but not my vehicle vin number.
AUTONOMOUS ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DRIVER ASSIST ACCELERATED TWICE WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS. IN BOTH CASES I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE ACCELERATION COMMENCED. ONLY BY STANDING ON THE BRAKE WHILE AT SAME TIME PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESSING ENGINE OFF BUTTON WAS I ABLE TO STOP VEHICLES FORWARD MOTION. THE DURANGO CAME CLOSE TO RAMMING PARKED CAR IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF THE ONE I WAS PULLING INTO. DURANGO HAD APPROX. 3000 MILES ON ODOMETER WHEN THE 2 INCIDENTS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON CONSECUTIVE DAYS, OCT 9 & 10, AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROX. 6-8 HOURS STRAIGHT EACH DAY. PURCHASING DEALER WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY TO INFORM IT'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE 2 INCIDENTS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN OUT OF AREA DEALER ON THE MORNING FOLLOWING 1ST INCIDENT. THEY READ THE FAULT CODES AND INFORMED ME...
