2026 Dodge DurangoSuspension

The contact owns a 2026 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH on a desert highway, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The contact started to lose control of the vehicle and managed to pull over to the shoulder of the highway; however, the front passenger's side tire detached from the vehicle in the process. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and requested roadside assistance. After the vehicle was impounded by the highway patrol, it was towed to the dealer. The vehicle remained in the dealer's possession and had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

2019 Dodge DurangoSuspensionTransmission & drivetrainElectrical system

My 2019 Dodge Durango R/T began experiencing drivetrain and warning system issues after collision/body repairs were completed by a repair facility. The original repair work involved suspension/body-related repairs and did not originally include documented transfer case or internal drivetrain damage. At the time I picked the vehicle up from the repair facility, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light was already illuminated. I notified the repair facility and was told to drive the vehicle for...

approximately 10 minutes and the warning would clear itself. I have video documentation related to this interaction. After the repairs, additional problems began appearing including: * Service AWD warning * Traction control warning indicators * Ongoing drivetrain concerns * Diagnosis involving transfer case/internal damage and burnt fluid The vehicle was later reported to have transfer case clutch failure and internal drivetrain-related issues despite the original repair scope not documenting drivetrain damage. My concern is that the post-repair warnings and drivetrain symptoms may indicate improper inspection, repair, reassembly, fluid servicing, calibration, or unresolved damage related to the repair process. The vehicle has been inspected by the repair facility and diagnostic information was later provided identifying drivetrain/transfer case issues.

has not been inspected at this time by anyone other than the dealership in which it was leased. 5)While accelerating at approximately 30-35 mph, the vehicle began emitting a high-pitched whining noise, similar to sound of a remote-control toy car. The vehicle then started jerking back and forth during acceleration. Shortly after, the "Check Engine" light illuminated. We activated our hazard lights, reduced speed to approximately 10-20 mph, exited the bridge, and pulled into an emergency stopping area. There was no prior warning that there was a problem.

I have not had an issue as of yet...but my insurance company has warned me of 4 recalls that are apparently active on my vehicle and told me to come to your site to verify, but it says there are zero recalls on my vehicle, so I am wary of what to do. I was told by a local mechanic that one of the things listed in the recalls was potentially a issue for me but I would need to take my vehicle to the dealership to have it rectified. I do not want to have to pay for something if it is truly on a recall! I have children...

2025 Dodge DurangoSuspensionElectrical systemDriver assistance

The infotainment system always reboots. The screen will stay black or frozen. The system is constantly needing to be rebooted by holding the power button until the dodge logo comes up. The back up camera gets stuck when in reverse then going to drive. The picture stays frozen in time for about 4 minutes and the rcta doesn't work during that time. The backup camera is always delayed to convert back to standard infotainment mode.

We were notified of a recall in Nov 2024 with a first quarter of 2025 fix. We are now 1 year later and still no fix, clearly a safety issue and I cannot trade in or sell legally without the fix. I am stuck with a vehicle with known safety issues and Chrysler is being allowed to just ignore it.

2024 Dodge DurangoSteeringSuspension

I purchased a brand-new 2024 Dodge Durango that has had an unresolved front-end noise since purchase. The service manager and two technicians confirmed hearing the noise, but the dealership and manufacturer have not been able to identify or repair it after multiple visits.The vehicle has also had loose bumper hardware, missing clips, loose hoses, and a defective roof rack. I am concerned this may be related to the suspension or steering, which could pose a safety risk if parts are loose or failing. The vehicle is available for inspection at any time.

I had a water pump go out and my battery died while fixing it but when I gave it a jump and started it my ABS and stability lights were on and haven't turned off. It's been over a year since they turned on. There is a recall for this on 2022 models why does it not apply to my vehicle?

I was in a blizzard a few days ago on the freeway & got caught in a ditch, but thankfully got out. I wasn't going that fast & couldn't due to not being able to see through the snow well so I can drive safely. In order not to crash because there were semi trucks around, I had to whip the steering wheel along with the weight of the car on the snow in order not to crash due to the car being big & it was sliding pretty heavy & somehow a couple things went out of wack after turning my steering wheel. Definitely a scary...

experience. It is very hard to turn out of no where, as well it's rare at times when it turns just a little smoothly. Also, once when first pulling off, it makes a consecutive clicking noise coming from or by the tires. When I give it acceleration while turning, as well, it makes that clicking sound. Then there's just something about the engine or the drive train that sounds off. I'm still learning as I go about fixing what needs to be done.
