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.

Shortly after 1st acquiring the 2014 Dodge Durango R/T AWD an exhaust smell filling the cabin was noticeable after acceleration and steadily traveling between 40-45 mph w/the front and rear air conditioning units on recirculation. The occurrence was repeatable and noticeable by my spouse and children while riding in the Durango. It was brought to the purchasing dealership multiple times for the exhaust leak but ultimately they could not determine the origination or cause; they attempted a software update. The Dodge Durango was brought to another dealership where the rear cabin air exhausters and lift gate grommets were replaced to no avail. The 2nd dealership ultimately advised they do not know how or why the exhaust is entering the interior cabin and have labeled the exhaust leak as a smell. A non-feasible vehicle replacement has been offered. Documentation of the exhaust leak issue is available for further review. The Dodge Durango has not been modified.

The vehicle was in park in a parking space and running with my daughter, mother-in-law, and father-in-law sitting in the backseat. I reached in from the passenger side door of the vehicle and pressed the ignition to turn the vehicle off. The vehicle ignored my command, the dash began flashing, and the car engaged in drive and took off driving across the parking garage. I had to sprint around the vehicle and jump in to the drivers seat to engage the brake and turn the vehicle off before it collided with other vehicles in the garage.
