The vehicle does not start when you press the keyless ignition switch. This happened last night in a parking lot, this morning in my garage, and twice today in parking lots. It also has happened intermittently over the past several months, but I didn't think anything about it until it happened four times in a row. I have had to press the switch several times to get the vehicle to start and remove the key fob from my purse. This was not the case previously. The battery in the fob is fine, as the remote start, remote lift gate and remote lock/unlock all work. Last night the vehicle did not want to unlock the door using the keyless method and I had to press the remote unlock button on the key fob. Also the easy exit seat does not move when you turn off the vehicle. This function has not been working for awhile, even though it is set to move. I feel that there is a problem within the keyless ignition module.

The vehicle stalls while driving (very intermittently). Does not log any engine codes and mainly happens on deceleration. But has happened at highway speeds when exiting the freeway and also at low speeds when coming to a stop sign. When the engine stalls you loose power steering and brakes but all of the electronics keep working radio, lights, etc... I have called Chrysler care opened a case, which they assisted in scheduling an appointment for the vehicle at the local Dodge dealer. The case was closed by Chrysler since the dealership could not duplicate the problem. We bought this vehicle with 50,000 miles on it and it now has 76,000 and has stalled on us several times I would say (12) over the 26,000 miles we have pout on it. If you google this complaint/problem with the 2011/2012 Durango it is widely known and a very serious issue to be ignoring, someone is going to be killed because of this.

Repeated electrical failures at start up. Sept 8 2014- electrical failure at start up: Engine light on, stabilization light on, turn signal non-operational, unable to access the milage/temperature menu/computer, windshield wiper active even though the switch was in the off position.

The dealer kept the car for a week and claimed there was "nothing wrong" with the car. Then I called corporate and was sent over to the resolution team. They arranged for me to drop off the car for testing on April 14. I picked up the car on May 15- they claim there were no fixes were made and that they "couldn't replicate the problem". Feb 3 2017- fourth electrical failure at start up: Engine light on, stabilization light on, turn signal non-operational, unable to access the milage/temperature menu/computer, windshield wiper active even though the switch was in the off position. The dealer said it was a blown fuse but they do not know what is causing this short to happen repeatedly.

I was in line to turn left under the underpass. When I pressed the gas, the vehicle would not move. The wheel locked up as I tried to move forward. I had to turn on my emergency lights and signal other to go around on the right because no one could pass me on the left. I put the car in park and restarted it. There was no dashboard light to indicate that anything was wrong. My son was able to record and show that the vehicle was still in drive and not moving. I contacted the area manager to ask if this known, unsafe vehicle could be bought back at the highest nada value. His response was, 'I'm not offering a repurchase.' He shared that he would get another technician personally involved. We just received the car from the shop on Wednesday, January 25, 2017 after the entire tipm was replaced and it stopped again!

I smelled burning while driving on a city street. The car just died. I got out raised hood. Smelled burning at alternator. Car is completely dead. Called tow truck.. next day. Car towed to all tech auto. Diagnosis- 180amp alternator bad and caused extensive damage to tipm and PCM. Paid $760 for replaced alternator. Towed to dealership - tipm and PCM shorted out, $2066 to repair. My car is currently at the dealership waiting for me to earn the money to repair. Im praying that I will have an additional $2066 in two weeks so I can get repairs completed. Fca recalled 160amp and 220amp. How do they skip over the 180amp in the Durango crew? you won't have as many complaints because there weren't as many manufactured as the other models - unfair! send someone to investigate before repairs are made.

My 2012 Dodge Durango purchased brand new has been having major electrical issues since the motor was power washed at covert Dodge dealership in North austin. They had an inexperienced car washer clean up the oil that was on the motor from a hose change. He used a very high pressure, pressure washer and it shorted the electronics causing the vehicle to shut down unexpectedly with no warning. This has happened multiple times within the last 6 months. I have had the car at 3 different Dodge dealers trying to resolve the issue. On 9/22/2016 the battery light came on while going 75 on the highway. I smelled a strong odor of electrical burning and all the lights on the dash board came on, the blind spot alert system was stating it was inoperable, the ac stopped working, the seat belt light and buzzer stated to go off even though my belt was fastened and then the Durango just shut off, right in the middle of the toll road highway stranding me in the middle lane. The hazard lights did not even work. I put the car in park to try to restart it but it was totally dead, nothing worked and the car was stuck in park! I could not put the vehicle in neutral to move it out of the highway, several cars did not realize I was stopped and locked up their brakes nearly missing me. I was so afraid someone was going to run right into the back of me and the car. Major safety issue. I called the mopar warranty road side assistance and 1 hours later I was able to get the car off the 102 degree highway. As a result of all of these issues, which seem to have started when covert Dodge power washed the engine bay, I am no longer confident the vehicle can be trusted and be reliable not to mention the safety factor. As you can tell from the vehicle history, I feel I have been patient and cooperative in allowing Chrysler and the dealerships to find a resolution. Updated 08/07/2017

Engine stalled and car shut off. Once from a stop while trying to accelerate and another time while trying to stop. In both instances an accident was nearly avoided. My wife on 9/13 was turning across traffic and the car died and she was almost T-boned. On 9/14 I almost rear ended a car as I was slowing to a stop and lost all power. Wipers will come on randomly on dry, sunny days (while parked or in motion). Car jerks forward intermittently when starting (using remote start or while in the car). Occasionally the car continues to turn over but never actually starts. I have taken this to the dealer 7-8 times and they've never heard of these problems. No error codes recorded. Never able to be reproduced when at the dealer. Contacted another Dodge dealer and they have never heard of these issues either. Took to an independent mechanic and he immediately recognized this as a potential tipm issue. The fuel relay recall was implemented in summer of 2015 which was supposed to resolve these issue. However, all of these problems continue to intermittently occur - with the stalling (and near accidents) just occurring for the first time this past week. Spoke with Dodge yesterday explaining the situation and both dealers didn't want to sell me a new tipm because they weren't sure it would fix the problem and reiterated that the fuel relay recall would fix these issues. When I stated that I am still having the issues they didn't have an answer but were willing to take my car in on trade. We currently have 93000 miles but this started shortly after we purchased the Durango; with well under 40000 miles. We were still under warranty when this started but no fault was ever found when at the dealer.

In November of 2014, Dodge issued a recall of the 160 amp alternators due to early failure and risk of fire. Saturday, August 20, 2016, the alternator on this vehicle failed with the same symptoms: High heat, burning smell, and the vehicle suddenly stopped running. However, this vehicle has a 180 amp alternator. There are other reports of the 180 amp alternator failing in very similar ways as the 160 amp. The recall must be expanded to include all alternators for the dogdge Durango. A failure at less than 60,000 miles, and a failure in a manner that presents a risk of fire is a major issue and needs to be addressed quickly.

- Flower Mound, TX, USA

Alternator failed in my 2012 Dodge Durango. I have only had my vehicle for 4 years 3 months, 48,904 miles and do mostly city driving. The vehicle was in motion when I began to smell a burnt scent. Soon after I noticed the air conditioner power minimized rapidly and the burnt scent continued. Luckily at that point I was getting home and therefore I immediately parked my vehicle. Was inspected by a mechanic who confirmed the problem was with the alternator.

Driving on a major highway in NJ on 7/21/16, all the car warning lights went on randomly and unexpectedly, windshield wipers went on on their own, radio shut off, all power was lost and car shut down almost immediately with limited or no braking or steering power and the car would not turn on any longer. I tried to make it safely to the side of the road (left shoulder was the closest) with big trucks and fast moving cars going by. Had it towed to an auto body shop which took 2 days to diagnose the problem which they deemed a failure of the main board which caused the alternator to fail which caused the battery to seize and fail as well. The costs of repair I had to pay to fix the issue on my 4 year old car with 92K miles on it was approx $1,500. The symptoms and diagnosis were almost identical to the P60 recall issued by chrylser but when I inquired with Chrysler about getting my vehicle covered under the recall and reimbursed for the costs of repair, they claimed that the recall did not apply to my car bc it is 180 amp vs 160 amp (?) but it is very obvious and clear to me that what happened to my car was exactly the same as the P60 recall. Not to mention it was a very dangerous situation that I encountered with my car stopping in the middle of a busy highway. It could have been tragic had I not been able to navigate it well. Chrysler is basically refusing to extend the recall to my VIN # and not reimbursing my repair costs.
