The engine valve stem failed prematurely due to poor quality manufacturing. Due to this low quality product it has created low compression in the engine. This has triggered multiple codes such as misfire, ETC, and has affected the acceleration of the vehicle as well as performance and at times from even starting. My family's safety has been put at risk due to stalling of the vehicle in traffic.This was inspected by a proper mechanic who looked into my engine with a camera and used diagnostic tools. There was no lights active during fault..

My cars fuel pump is being recalled which is causing starting issues and at times the car wont start. When driving the car it feels a bit of a lag or a loss in power. i have called for the recall parts to be fixed at the dealer for months now. they claim there is part issues or shipping issues on the parts. This an important part needs to be fixed and may cause more damage in the future to the engine if not fixed in a timely manner.

All current recalls have been performed on this vehicle. While making left and right hand turns after coasting down from a highway speed (55MPH or greater) the vehicle will stall. We will loose all power steering and brakes. No warning lights come on and everything appears normal except the engine is not running. Something in the fuel or electrical system is intermittently failing. I suspect it to be a "Dumb" device. Something that is told to turn on or off but there is no feedback to the computer to set a code when it fails. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time. This started occurring after one of the fuel pump relay recalls. It happens at random and is hard to duplicate, while we do have video of it, the dealer has been unable to duplicate it. The vehicle shows no codes, or anything wrong when it happens. Once the vehicle is stopped, shifted back into park, it will restart and run just fine. This has placed us in unsafe conditions in the middle of the opposing lane, in a turn, trying to restart the vehicle before another car comes around the turn. It is also hard to steer and stop a large SUV when power steering and brakes have been lost. There have been several close calls of getting the vehicle stopped prior to going off the road. The dealer has checked the vehicle over with no solution found for the issue. There has never been any warning lights associated with the vehicle stalling while driving. The vehicle does not know anything is wrong.

The engine developed a misfire on cylinder 3. after diagnoses, it turned out the lifter for that cylinder had failed, and the camshaft lobe was ground down, causing a misfire. Sadly this is a well known issue. We have only 90K miles on our very well maintained Durango.

I was driving down the highway at 70 mph and the car stalled shortly after the etc indicator light started flashing next to a "fcw off" and orange triangles appeared in my side view mirrors. The engine light came on, acc off indicator light came on along side with the ESC light. It started back up so I took it to Firestone for a diagnostic, they said it was some minor electrical issues but the torque converter on the transmission needed to be fixed first and informed me that they didnt do any transmission work.they referred me to A-team transmissions, took it a got a second diagnostic and I was told that it wasn't a transmission problem but suggested it was the ABS system. They said they didnt work on it so I took it to a third auto care shop and they said it was the mass air flow sensor. Had it cleaned and the problem still resulted in jerking, losing compression, and occasionally wanting to stall. I couldn't get a straight and I didn't want to pay for anymore diagnostics. Hooked up my obd II diagnostic system and the only codes I got were P0113, P0300, P0304, and P0340. Parked my car in my back yard and tried to avoid using it until it has been fixed.
