Summary of Complaint

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.

Summary of Complaint

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.

Summary of Complaint

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.

Summary of Complaint

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.

Summary of Complaint

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.
