I WAS CLEANING MY CAR (STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY) ON 11/3/2019 AND NOTICED A PIECE OF PLASTIC ON THE FLOORBOARD. I LOOKED UP TO SEE WHERE IT MIGHT HAVE CAME FROM AND NOTICED THE DRIVER SEAT HEADREST WAS SEPARATING. I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE TWO PIECES BACK TOGETHER AND THE HEADREST FULLY DEPLOYED. UPON INSPECTION I COULD SEE THAT THE CLIP THAT HOLDS A METAL PIN HAD FAILED. THE PLASTIC PIECE I FOUND WAS PART OF THIS CLIP. VERY GRATEFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. IT IS NOT STORED IN THE HEAT OR SUN. NOW WE GET TO WAIT FOR THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT. SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD NOT CAUSE INJURY.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY DODGE FOR 2 PLUS YEAR. I WILL GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES GAS STARTS FLOWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY REPLACED SENSORS, WELL IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM, TANK AND ALL. THEY HAVE STATED THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT GIVE IT BACK TO ME TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY CONTAMINATED AND THE ENTIRE CANISTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED . THEY ARE WAITING ON THE PART TO COME IN BUT THAT WILL NOT BE TILL MID JULY BECAUSE THEY HAVE 4200 ON BACKORDER. THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH DODGE DURANGO AND NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO HELP FIX THIS ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT! WHILE DRIVING I WOULD HAVE A LARGE SMELL OF GAS IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST CUT OFF AND NOT START BACK UP.

I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATED IN THE REAR RACING TAIL LIGHT ON THE BACK HATCH OF THE TRUCK. I THEN NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 1" OF WATER BUILD UP THAT COLLECTED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE SAME RACING STRIP TAIL LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE HATCH. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THERE IS SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO YOUTUBE.COM VIDEOS EXPLAINING HOW TO DRAIN THE LIGHT. I CALLED DODGE YESTERDAY AFTER DRAINING THE LIGHT (I HAVE A VIDEO), THEY STATED THAT COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. THE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT COSTING AROUND $1000-$ 1200.00. THEY ADVISED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA TO SEE IF A RECALL COULD BE ISSUED. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS LINK, SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/TAIL-LIGHT-SWITCH-PROBLEMS.PHP YOUTUBE, HOW TO DRAIN: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Z8ZUPYCTIXS THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS ASSEMBLY. CAN YOU PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO ISSUE A RECALL SO THIS CAN BE FIXED. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE OR INCIDENT TO THE REAR END TO CAUSE SUCH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

The power lift gate failed and I was hit pretty hard. Would have been worse if it was my wife or kids and probably would have been more than an bruise and being sore. The “special stud” that connects the power rod to the body of the Durango broke off. Part of the bolt is still in the body in the threads and the other part is still connected to the power lift. It than created issues to even close the door and be able to drive without the hatch open. The parts are on order and will in next week to see if it can be repaired. Currently the door is not usable and the power lift rod had to be disconnected to stop further damage to the body of the vehicle. Door will not stay open and the dealer is unsure if they can get the broken part of the bolt out to complete the repair.

*2nd reporting of same issue* Intermittent failure to start/stopping occurring again. Fuel pump and TIPM was replaced and issue is still occurring about 8 months later. 2011-2013 durangos had a recall for this issue. I believe the 2014s should be included as well. This is very dangerous and a safety hazard should vehicle stalls and unable to start.

Screen on center console gets extremely hot to the touch when car is running. Purchased the car 10 days ago and reported the issue to the dealer we purchased it from. Dealer arranged for the car to be taken in to one of their authorized dealers in the auto nation group which is closer to our home. Dealer was able to duplicate and stated the temperature registered at 120 degrees on the console and recommended replacing the head unit. This unit is overheating and causing the radio to short along with other buttons on the display to not work when pressed. Dealer we purchased from said they would take care of the issue then turned around and said the limited warranty will not cover this. This is extremely dangerous and could catch fire.

I bought this vehicle brand new. Many issues right from the start. Right off the bat the vehicle would randomly accelerate while driving or just stall while on the highway. I had a wreck when the car was less than 3 months old. I stepped on the break and the car accelerated into on coming traffic and I hit a vehicle. I took it into the dealership many times reporting this problem to the service techs and they dismissed it that my car was "learning me" and was not "broken in" yet. Along with engine ticking and engine lights coming on I have had so many issues with this vehicle.

I am having starting issues, combined with stalling when it full power or even partial. I reviewed the recalls that were listed for this era vehicle. And it lines up with the fuel relay or fuse I can't remember which one it was that was happening on similar makes models and this year. I believe this should be involved in that recall, but it's not showing that it is.

I was driving and the headrest deployed without a collision luckily I didn't have my head against the headrest as that would had made the impact harder maybe causing and actual accident. Upon searching online I found out it hasn't only happened to my Durango apparently this has happened to many other vehicle manufactured by Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler with many of these headrest activations taking place while the vehicle was parked. I haven't contacted Dodge since this accident happened today Sunday August 1 2021. As a first responder I think this is a issue that must be addressed now by you guys since I read online that Dodge said it was not a safety concern. Mixing highway speeds with a defective headrest that is supposed to be a "safety feature" to prevent an whiplash effect can result in a Motor Vehicle Accident with major injuries or including death. As this could be the same as your airbags deploying without a collision. A blow to the head could result in a concussion with or without loss of consciousness.

Driverside headrest popped or deployed on it's own. No crash happened. Vehicle was parked outside my home and not in use. Had I been in the vehicle at the time, potential head trauma could have occurred such as wound, concussion or whiplash. Had I been driving the vehicle when this happened, this could have caused a crash and even more potential harm to myself, my children, passengers and other motorists. The vehicle has not been inspected but I have contact local dodge dealer who stated that there was no recall on the known issue and that the cost to "assess" the headrest would cost me $140 to diagnose and any replacement costs would be in addition to the $140. There was no warning whatsoever that this could happen. No engine lights or anything. Again, I was not driving the vehicle. It was parked in my driveway.
