If the rear axle pinion nut loosens, the axle can lock up and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a vehicle crash with little warning.
On November 7, 2013 Chrysler notified owners that dealers would install a pinion nut retainer, free of charge. In July 2015, and under a consent order with NHTSA, the company agreed to offer owners three options for remedying their vehicles: perform the original remedy, offer to repurchase the vehicle at the fair market value plus 10%, or offer an additional incentive offer towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Fiat vehicle. Chrysler will notify owners of the new recall options in a letter expected to be mailed on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N08.
Brake booster when the weather IS cold, there IS a loud click at the brake pedal, followed by an air pump skins at the firewall when car comes to a stop. sometimes the brake use IS definitely reduced.
I took my car in for a recall on my driver's side airbag. Before they started to do the work they said they were not responsible for any damage to my car because it was an older model. I am very upset that I took my car in for safety reasons and they could damage my car in the process! How unfair on the part of the consumer to make them pay for possible damage when they are taking their car in for safety reasons! And dodge doesn't believe in the integrity of their own product at the same time! This needs to be addressed by the nhtsa!
TL* takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 dodge durango. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v352000 (air bags) and 16v947000 (air bags). However, the parts to do the repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Takata recall, taking much too long to fix or get parts. now that takata has filed bankruptcy, I question whether I'll ever see my recall completed. I want out of this potential death trap but can't trade or sell until recall IS complete, I'm loosing money every day I have to keep driving it. help, I want some kind of compensation. who do I need to talk to to get some action on this matter?
TL* the contact owns a 2009 dodge durango. While the vehicle was stationary, the fuel tank would not fill up properly. The contact stated that it took 45 minutes for the fuel tank to become filled. The vehicle was diagnosed as having a screen inside the fuel tank that was filled with particles, which blocked the fuel from entering the tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Updated 09/29/16*lj the consumer stated the gas tank rusted, due to the gas leak. Updated 10/04/16. *Jb
The truck suspension squeaks really bad and no other vehicles I know does that
TL* the contact owns a 2009 dodge durango. The contact stated that the vehicle developed an oil leak. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who determined that the transmission oil cooler failed. The mechanic tried to order the part, but it was on back order because this had been a wide spread issue. The manufacturer stated that they would send the part once it became available. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 88,527.
Over the years , my vehicle ad lost temporary steering control whenever I am making a right turn onto a street and there IS standing water. This has happened around five times within the last three to four years.i keep my foot in the gas an steering control would return . *tr
TL* the contact owns a 2009 dodge durango. the contact stated that the vehicle caught fire while parked. The contact opened the driver side door and noticed that the driver's seat was engulfed in flames. the entire door panel was melted. The contact extinguished the fire. the manufacturer sent an independent inspector to perform a brief inspection of the vehicle. The inspector stated that the fire undoubtedly originated from the driver's seat motor control switch, which moves the seat. the chrysler engineers reviewed the inspector's report and stated that they would not repair the vehicle due to the year of the vehicle and the number of years the vehicle was out of warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
The mother of my child owns a 2009 dodge durango this IS a nice truck but has some isues racing idle today it stalled at 70 miles mph on the highway bad gas miliege I have done some research about it found their IS an isue with either electrical or throttle body cleaning. I read complaints all over nobody or nothing takes care of it she also had an accident with the truck because at stop light she said the truck idle raced to four thousand rpm and took of on its own hit five cars before it stoped. Her foot wasent even near gas pedal I really think its time to do something about it before someone IS killed
While filling vehicle with gasoline the tank overflowed when the pump clicked off. gasoline ran down the side of the truck and onto the ground. has now happened several times, same issue as found in earlier model gen 2 durango's. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 dodge durango hybrid. The contact turned the vehicle on and once they put the vehicle into park, the vehicle accelerated. The instructions stated that the vehicle could not be shifted into drive without the brakes being pressed. The brakes were applied and the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact also was only able to control the steering wheel with minimal ability. The contact was unable to stop the vehicle until it crashed into the garage. The contact spoke with the manufacturer and was told that the vehicle would be inspected by an engineer, but that had not happened when the complaint was filed. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.
NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
