2017 Dodge Durango

These are unverified consumer reports filed with NHTSA, shown as submitted.

• 12/26/2023· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  The rear center tail light, “Racetrack light” has water in it and is defective now for the second time, this is a well known issue, but continues to fail. Dodge will not cover the repair even with a maximum care warranty, pushing a well documented issue back to the consumer.

• 12/26/2019· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  WATER COLLECTS IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY (THE ONE ACROSS THE TAILGATE WITH THE BACK-UP CAMERA). SO BAD, SOME LAMPS HAVE BLOWN OUT ON THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE ASSEMBLY. IT ONLY DRAINS OUT WHEN REMOVING A.BOLT ON EACH SIDE, BUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE WATER RETURNS.

• 12/24/2020· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  MY 2017 DODGE DURANGO HAD WATER INTRUSION IN THE LIFT-GATE TAIL LIGHT. I HAD ONE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS HAD FAILED AND COULD SEE THE WATER POOLING IN THE LIGHT. THE REPLACE TAIL LIGHT ALSO HAS WATER POOLING IN THE BOTTOM PART OF THE LIGHT. THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE THIS ONE FOR FREE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

  NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED YET BUT I BELIEVE ONE WILL. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A ROTARY TRANSMISSION SELECTOR FOR DRIVE BY WIRE TRANSMISSION AND HAS AN AUTO ENGINE STOP START FEATURE. THIS START STOP FEATURE CAN BE DISABLED AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, BUT CANNOT BE SET BY DEFAULT TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE. I UNDERSTAND THE FUEL SAVING ISSUE, HOWEVER BUT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND WE DO A LOT OF THINGS UNCONSCIOUSLY BECAUSE THESE ACTIVITIES ARE SO COMMON TO US. WHEN THIS FEATURE IS ACTIVATED AND YOU COME INTO YOUR DRIVE WAY, YOUR GARAGE OR A PARKING SPACE AND FULLY COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND ALL GOES QUIET. SUBCONSCIOUSLY BECAUSE OF A LIFETIME OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE, YOU THINK THE CAR IS OFF, YOUR TRAVEL IS OVER AND YOU ARE READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. YOU START TO OPEN THE DOOR AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTS AND MOVES FORWARD. IF A CHILD OR SOMEONE ELSE OR A BUILDING WALL IS IT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. PLEASE RETHINK THIS. IT IS NOT AN INTUITIVE PROCESS WHEN WE HAVE YEARS OR DECADES OF A DIFFERENT DRIVING EXPERIENCE. WE THINK THE CAR IS OFF, SAFE TO EXIT. WE NEED A WAY TO DEFAULT DISABLE THIS FEATURE RATHER THAN DEFAULT ENABLE. I KNOW THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING DEATH OR INJURY WITH REGARD TO THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE VEHICLES, SPECIFICALLY A CLAIM THAT VEHICLE COULD MOVE WITH SELECTOR PUT IN THE PARK POSITION. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS WERE RESULT OF DRIVERS THINKING THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND THEN IT MOVED. IT MAY BE EMBARRASSING AND NOT BE ADMITTED TO. *TR

  MY VEHICLE HAS BELOW 11,000 MILES AND HAS WATER POOLED IN THE BACKUP LAMP ASSEMBLY (RACETRACK LIGHT) IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSING THE LED'S TO FLICKER AND SHORT OUT AT RANDOM. THIS ASSEMBLY IS ALSO THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT FOR THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED THIS ISSUE WILL LEAD TO THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO FAIL.

• 12/09/2024· ENGINE

  My car started leaking oil I took it to a local mechanic and I was told that the oil filter housing needs to be replaced. He said that he sees that problem with thos vehicles he even sain that he is surprised that it has been recalled because apparently it breaks easily and it needs to be changed to a metal. Again he mentioned how he sees this problem often with this specific car.

• 12/09/2022· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  All of my lights on the back of my vehicle are out due to water damage. This is a known problem with these vehicles. The vehicle has less than 50,000 miles. The cost for a replacement is $1500. Dodge has known of this issue for many years has done nothing to correct it. It will not pass the state safety inspection with the lights out. It is a safety issue because I have no rear lights. We contacted Dodge. They told us if this becomes a recall, they will reimburse us for repairs. This has been an issue for many years and they have neglected to repair the problem. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

DODGE HAS ALSO REFERRED TO THESE SAFETY ISSUES AS CHARACTERISTICS OF MY CAR. WHEN THEIR IS A SAFETY DEFECT IT CANT BE A CHARACTERISTIC THAT CAN BE OVERLOOKED.

  I bought my car with 50,000 miles. I didn’t even have 55,000 and my car started have electrical issues with the speedometer, my dashboard started glitching with all the lights including an A with exclamation mark. I took it to the Dodge dealership in Huntsville and said they couldn’t do anything about it since the recall seemed to be repair but they couldn’t clear the code. My truck has had the same issue with the recall. My car was never repaired from the recall. My vehicle is dangerous to drive on the freeway as I will get this code a!

  I had just parked my vehicle in my drive and turned it off. I opened my door then sat back in my seat to stretch my back, sitting straight up with my head against the headrest, before getting out. As soon as I leaned my head against the headrest it, for lack of better terms, exploded into the back of my head. It hit me with such force I was not sure what had happened as there was nobody around me that could’ve cause it. Sure enough there was no accident to cause it. I have had a headache and back pain for a week due to it.

• 11/03/2023· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  The rear tail light(race track light) has lost its seal and water has protruded the sealed of the LED tail light causing disruption in the light functioning properly. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership, it does have an extended warranty from Mopar on the vehicle, but the dealership will not cover. The replacement cost of repairing the rear tail light. The dealership informed me that this was a reoccurring issue for Dodge Durango‘s. I am concerned that the tail light will completely fail, and I will be involved in an incident due to the driver behind me not being able to recognize my vehicle with the tail light not functioning properly..

  WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK AND YOU EXIT IT WILL SOMETIMES STILL DRIVE FORWARD. WHEN SWITCHING INTO REVERSE OR PARK THE CAR SOMETIMES LOCKS UP AND WONT MORE. THE RPMS GO UP BUT ITS STILL AS IF ITS IN PARK. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE TO TRY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO REVERSE. MY WIFE WAS REMOVING GROCERIES AND THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. SHE HAD TO GET INTO THE CAR AND PRESS THE BREAK. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A STOP OR PARKED. I HAVE STARTED TO RECORD WHEN IT HAPPENS IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.

YES, I TOLD IAB THERE OF THE NYPD THAT LIKE I BELIEVE THAT THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE THERE THE DARK UNDERCOVER NYPD VAN THERE SPEEDING THROUGH THE LIGHT THERE ON 99 ST AND 63 DRIVE THERE WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH WITH THE SIRENS THERE, THE OPERATOR OF THE BLACK NYPD VAN THERE UNDERCOVER JUST USED HIS RED LIGHTS AND LIKE A SMALL SOUND THERE. THEY SHOULD USE LOUDER SOUNDS THAN THAT AND A LOUDER HORN I TOLD THE IAB THERE OF THE NYPD THERE. YES, WHEN I SAW IT, I WAS STUNNED THERE AND WAS THE FIRST TO DIAL 911 THERE AND TOLD THE 911 OPERATOR OF THE NYPD THERE ON 10-8-2018 AROUND 1 PM "I THINK ONE OF YOUR NYPD CARS WAS IN AN ACCIDENT..." YES, LATER ON, I THINK I FOUND OUT THE ERROR OF THE NYPD OFFICER IN THE BLACK VAN THERE, HE DID NOT USE LOUD ENOUGH HORNS SPEEDING I THINK NORTH ON 99 ST THERE BY 63 DRIVE THERE CAUSING HIM TO SMACK RIGHT INTO THE WHITE CAR THERE THAT BADLY. WHEN THE STREET HAD CLEARED WITH THE FDNY AND EMS AND THE NYPD 112 WERE JUST THERE, I FOUND ALL MIRRORS AND THOUGH SOMEBODY GOT INJURED THERE AT THE SCENE. I DID NOT THINK OF THIS AT THAT TIME SO EVEN IF I SAW THE NYPD 112, I POINTED THEM TO THE CRASH THERE, I WOULD NOT THINK THIS BACK THEN. YES, INDEED, THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE THERE OF THE UNDERCOVER NYPD VAN WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH WHEN THE OFFICER WAS SPEEDING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT THERE AND LIKE HE SMACKED INTO THE VEHICLE THERE.

  When driving on the freeway I went to accelerate the car then begin to accelerate by itself even when I was hitting the brakes it would not slow down. Finally after a few seconds it slowed down. About a week after that started feeling like the transmission was having issues. Now I cannot drive my car. And this happened about three times with the acceleration of the car doing that by itself.

  WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL (6980 MILES) HOME FROM WORK, I HAD THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SET. I WAS IN A STEADY LINE OF TRAFFIC AND CARS LINED UP BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK STARTED TO STEADILY DECREASE IN SPEED, THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR IN FRONT WAS AT LEAST 6 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, I THEN ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, MY BRAKES WERE NOT ACTIVE AS WELL. I PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD. HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME MY STEERING HAD TIGHTENED AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY VEHICLE. I ENDED UP COASTING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. NOTHING WAS WORKING ON MY TRUCK. I COULD NOT OPEN MY DOOR OR LET MY WINDOWS DOWN. IT WAS LIKE I WAS TRAPPED INSIDE. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET MY WINDOWS DOWN AFTER 3 OR MORE MINUTES. WHEN THE TOWING SERVICE PICKED MY VEHICLE UP, THE BACK WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP AND MY LIFT GATE OPENED BY ITSELF. WE GOT THE LIFT GATE BACK DOWN MANUALLY. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IF YOU PLACED YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PUSHED THE START BUTTON IT JUST MADE A CLICKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL BE LOOKED AT TOMORROW, 9/26/17. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE, FATAL ACCIDENT. SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE INTO THIS MATTER.
