2013 DODGE DURANGO — Complaint #1558154
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed April 15, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558154 (ODI reference 11196512) concerns a 2013 DODGE DURANGO and was filed on April 15, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 5, 2019. The vehicle had 105,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Oregon based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE DURANGO cohort independently describe similar service brakes failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 DODGE DURANGO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I WAS DRIVING IN SOME PRETTY HARD RAIN GOING ABOUT 60MPH. I SLOWED THE CAR DOWN TO ABOUT 40 AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE THEN SEEMED TO STALL AND LOSE BOTH BREAKS AND STEERING. I WAS ON A HILL SO IT WAS VERY SCARY. I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO NOT ACCELERATE, THEN LOSE POWER AND BREAKS. I WAS READING AN ISSUE WITH THE ALTERNATOR MAY BE THE CASE BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW THAT WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF BREAKS. ALSO MY DEALERSHIP STATES THEY ALREADY FIXED THE ALTERNATOR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.
