I WANTED TO ADD TO THE MOUNTING NUMBER OF NOISY LIFTER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MY 2014 DURANGO HAD THE 100K MILE WARRANTY AND AT APPROX 96K STARTED HAVING LIFTER NOISE. DELEARSHIP WAS AWESOME (SANDY SANSING IN MILTON) WITH FIXING THE VEHICLE. NOW AT 122K MILES I AM HAVING THE ISSUE AGAIN. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE AWESOME A SECOND TIME. MY COMPLAINT IS THEY ONLY REPLACED MY #2 ROCKER AND LIFTER ALONG WITH THE EXHAUST CAM. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. BUT I GET IT, YOU CANT MAKE MONEY THAT WAY. DODGE FIX YOUR PROBLEM PENTASTAR! OH YEAH DEALERSHIP PROVIDED A RENTAL AND EVERYTHING DURING MY WEEK LONG REPAIR.

UPON PARKING AND REMOVING THE SEATBELT, I NOTICED IT WOULD NOT RETRACT. UPON FURTHER VISUAL INSPECTION, THERE IS A CRACK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PART THAT HOLDS THE STRAP. DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF THE PART IS FAULTY AND THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE SEE PICTURE.

ONCE I REACHED MY DESTINATION I PROCEEDED TO BACK INTO MY DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT, MY VEHICLE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT MOVE, I PUT IT INTO TO PARK, THEN BACK TO REVERSE AND IT STILL WOULD NOT GO BACK OR FORWARD. I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SHIFTING IT BACK INTO GEAR, STILL NONE OF THESE THINGS PREVAILED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF THE ABOVE ACTIONS, I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE CAR INTO POSITION. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO MOVE IT SINCE.

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.

My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

*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.

2014 Dodge Durango Incident date 7/22/21 As my wife and daughter were entering the vehicle, the driver's side headrest exploded. There was no accident/collision. The vehicle was parked in our home's driveway, my wife and daughter were simply entering it to go run an errand. Had my wife already been in the vehicle, she would have been struck in the head by the impact. We are now worried that at any moment, the passenger side headrest may explode. This, I feel, is a serious issue.

Out of nowhere, my headrest exploded. Apparently this is some sort of safety feature to avoid whiplash in an accident. My vehicle has never been in an accident and this happened for no reason. It slammed me in the back of the head out of nowhere while driving. I didn't know what happened. I thought I got hit. I see there are many complaints over the years online and yet, Dodge has not taken any responsibly and this isn't listed on the recall list. I'm scared to put my elderly mother in the car in fear that her headrest will explode and cause an injury
