Developed a leak in the oil filter housing, which leaks down through the engine compartment and also gets on the exhaust system. This is a very common issue with the pentastar 3.6L engine on all Chrysler produced vehicles. They have made a few revisions to this part, but have never issued a recall leaving many vehicles with this faulty and potentially dangerous part.

Vehicle shuts down while on freeway. Dealer was unable to locate problem. It happened again over the next 6 month's several times. New vehicle was at dealership many times. Dodge sent out a corporate machanic saying there was apinch in the fuel line. This happened again a year later, same fix at dealership. And two years later, I am having the same problem, car does not start anyone this time.

Vehicle put into neutral, but engine revving would not decrease, and then driver put vehicle into park which continued to rev at high rpms, but vehicle would then not shift out of park. Vehicle was turned off and then back on after 45 to 60 seconds, but vehicle continued to rev engine at high rpms and showed that vehicle was in 8th gear. Approximately 30 minutes later, vehicle would not turn on. Tried to turn vehicle on and it would turn itself off without trying to start.

Check engine light appeared despite all scheduled maintenance having been conducted as recommended. Check engine light is P0520 engine oil pressure sensor/switch "a" circuit. Seemingly this is a faulty sensor/switch which has occurred in 12% of Durango vehicles of the manufacturer year of 2014.

While driving 2014 Durango (w/ 26313 miles) on highway, the "check engine light" came on, and the car slow down to 30 mph and it would not accelerate more than 30 mph. I pulled over and inspect the car and found oil dripping from the engine and the entire bottom of the car was soaked with oil which can be a fire hazard. Upon doing a brief research online I found many people who owns a 2014 Dodge/ Chrysler with a pentastar engine reported that the cracked "plastic engine oil filter housing" causing the leak. I took my car to the dealer and they refused to fix my car under warranty and blamed me for "over torquing" the oil filter.

I submitted a previous report related to this issue. Today my car was parked on the street and totally started on its own. This car does not have a remote start. I was walking towards my car trying to turn off the panic horn which was sounding. I was approximately 15 to 20 feet away from the car when it started. This is the 4th time this car has started on its own. The car was under warranty the other three times this occurred, but the dealership checked it out and said they could not find a reason. I am really concerned this could occur while the car is parked in our garage and cause carbon monoxide poisoning (the first 3 times it started on its own the car was parked in the garage.)

Hello, I just purchased a 2014 Dodge Durango limited AWD w/approximately 30,000 miles. I have had the vehicle for about 3 weeks and on September 4/5th notice huge puddles of oil in our driveway. My wife attempted to drive it that morning, but heard weird noises "sputtering noises" in her own words. Once she told me of the issue, several hours later I started the Durango and heard similar noises. Looking under the vehicle I notice oil on the under carriage of the car stretching maybe 5 feet in length. I called Chrysler roadside assistance and notified them of the issue. They sent over a tow and once the dealership diagnosed the problem, they said it was an oil cooler leak. Upon reading several forums this seems to be a common issue.

The water pump blew and had to be replaced. The vehicle had less than 50,000 miles on it. This should not have happened. The vehicle was stationary and was very loud when we started it, took it straight to our mechanic.

Noticed oil leak under vehicle. Upon inspection, discovered it was the oil filter housing. Took to dealer who quoted $474.70 for repair. Vehicle had 47, xxx miles and should have been covered under the powertrain warranty. Chrysler customer care could not state why it wasn't covered other than it was outside the 3yr/36,000 mile bumper to bumper. Mechanic did not specify that part was damaged from oil changes. Just stated cracks were found in the oil filter housing. Service bulletin sb-10058301-5939 dated August 7, 2015 shows there is a known issue. Additional sb-10080203-2280 dated June 15, 2016 proves that fca knows there are numerous issues and want engineers to be called. It is common to all 2014 3.6L pentastar oil filter housings after the apparent design change from metal to plastic. Fca agreed to recoup 50% of the cost after they couldn't explain why it wasn't covered under the powertrain warranty. It's a well known issue across the numerous forums out there. Oil draining down back of motor over transmission bellhousing could be hazardous as a fire could be started due to proximity to exhaust system.
