2012 Dodge Durango crew with 5.7L hemi engine. 10/23/18 - vehicle through engine error code related to cylinder 8 misfire. Pulled the plugs and cylinder 8 plug was burnt. Since the last plug change mileage was unknown, I replaced all 16 spark plugs. Vehicle started and ran fine. Error code cleared and did not reapper. 11/7/18 - while driving at ~60mph throttle fluttered and vehicle then died. No check engine or warning lights illuminated. Coasted to the side of the road. Tried to re-start engine since no warnings were visible. Engine made grinding noise and seized. Determined by luther brookdale Dodge in brooklyn park that there is a hole in the block, engine is seized and the engine needs replacement. Mileage was 114, xxx. Safety issue is that vehicle died at highway speed, leading to a loss of power steering, and assisted braking ability. No warning lights illuminated on the dash so there was no visible indicator of engine failure.

I have a 2012 Dodge Durango with 110000 miles on it. Took it too the dealership because of a check engine light. The engine felt like it was running good. It turned out that three of my lifters were bad which also messed up the camshaft. Had to replace the engine because it would have been the same price to fix it, if the other side we're bad too. This is a known issue with Dodge and they refuse to fix

On October 2,2012 I purchased a Dodge Durango with less than 100 miles.. I have always kept up with scheduled maintenance. I'm still searching for all my paperwork.. I found paperwork where the check engine light was on at 81,552 -02/21/15--12/31/15--10/14/17--10/14/17---10/17/17--04/02/18.. I have spent over $3,000 dollars to repair the check engine light, now im told that this vehicle that I have paid approximately over $40,000 not including all the repairs will not be fixed and perhaps I need to trade it in for another vehicle.. I am extremely outraged with this company and feel I have been ripped off. This vehicle had and has a lot of recalls all which I have kept up on and still im not able to enjoy my vehicle..I dont feel safe driving this vehicle anymore.. engine shut down and even after all the money invested im still having problems..I have all the documents relating to this engine problem. I would appreciate your assistance in this matter.. thank you

We had an exhaust leak, and we didn't think that it was a big deal maybe a broken seal. I noticed the leak when I used my remote start in the morning.turns out the exhaust manifold warped and broke bolts! this could have caused some serious safety issue if it hadn't been looked into. I looked at other Dodge Durango owner sites and this seems to be a common problem amongst owners of this make and model.

My vehicle began having this issue in 2015. My vehicle has a long crank and sometimes does not turn over. It will also turn over, then sputter out after running for 20-30 seconds. In 2015, I began to have the issue with the vehicle not turning on/not turning over. I had the vehicle towed dealer and the tipm module was replaced. The vehicle intermittently had the issue turning over, but when I took it to the dealership, I was told that the issue could not be replicated. In 2016, my vehicle shut off on me while I was driving on the freeway. The hazard lights would not work, the vehicle would not turn on, and the gears would not change to facilitate a tow. Upon opening the hood of the vehicle, it appeared as though there was a malfunction with the alternator and fuses (of which I have video). I had my vehicle towed to the dealer and was called by a service advisor the next day. I was told that my win module had to be replaced, which I paid for. In addition, my battery had died, and I paid to replace that. I told the dealership I had video of the alternator and fuses malfunctioning and they stated they did not need the video as the computer diagnosis pointed to an issue with the win module. Several months later, I began to have the issue with the vehicle not turning over. I requested a tow and the tow truck driver suggested I use the actual key instead of the push button ignition, which I have been doing. I took the vehicle in again in October, as the vehicle again began to have the long crank issue and would intermittently not start. I was told there was a recall on my alternator, but a replacement was not available. The dealership replaced my alternator, but informed me that it still would not be the improved/recall part. I have taken the vehicle back in three (3) more times for the same issue and every time, I am told that the vehicle required a software update.
