20260108ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The ACC will just turn off without warning. A yellow warning light turns on to signal driver it is not operational. This has happened many times. The warning light also occurs when the system is NOT turned on. The FCC warning comes on intermittently and states like the ACC service immediately. Both of the systems are meant to be safety features however it recommended that the driver pull over turn off the vehicle and restart to restart or reboot the system. Our safety and the safety of others has been put at risk when the system turns off without warning especially when we are driving in heavier traffic areas like when we go to SC to visit family. Terribly hazardous and anxiety inducing. Not at all reliable. The systems warning lamps and failure have been concurrent and began shortly after the vehicle was purchased in March. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but supposedly NO CODE found to authorize repairs. I have copies of all work done on my Durango as well as pictures of

20251210VISIBILITY/WIPER

I am a police officer and this is in regards to my police department vehicle and another one on the department. The windshield has a deformation in it and causing a "ghosting" issue. It is mainly an issue at night but it affects my vision. To best describe the issue it feels like you are not able to properly focus and go cross eyed. When sitting still and moving your head around can see images distort. Headlights appear as 4 with the second set of lights ghost like. We received 4 new Durango's this year and two of them have this issue. James Chrysler in Cedar Lake Replaced the windshield and the windshield issue is the same. They are looking into getting another windshield to hopefully fix it. I have spoken with other agencies and the same issue is also in other Durango's. The term ghosting I learned after google defined it as that. This is a risk as it causes excessive strain on the eyes of the operator. The other officer on the department has been through several contacts after I b

20251114FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

My fuel tank was practically emptied by "gas thieves". The fuel filler compartment remains unlocked regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. And the filler tube where the gas nozzle is inserted is capless, with just a rubber seal that expands when the nozzle is inserted. In previous models Dodge used to have a button inside the cabin right below the headlights switch to release the fuel filler door, and a safety puller string in the back of the vehicle, should the button fail to release the locked door. Not anymore, and this appears to be a cost saving change/decision in detriment of the consumer. This lack of safety feature is also true for RAM 1500 pick up trucks. Dodge does not offer a locking cap option for the capless fuel filler tube, nor could I find an aftermarket one. A major concern of mine is what would happen should the vehicle roll down or lay on a side? Would the fuel in the tank come gushing out, and possibly cause a fire or even an explosion? Will app

20250818ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I am experiencing ongoing and serious issues with the infotainment system in my Dodge Durango. The screen frequently goes blank and enters a restart loop that continues over and over while the vehicle is in use. During these episodes, critical features such as navigation and the backup camera are unavailable. This creates a significant safety hazard: I rely on navigation for driving directions, and when the screen goes blank or freezes, I can easily miss turns or be distracted trying to recover the system. The lack of a functioning backup camera during these times is especially dangerous, as reversing without visibility increases the risk of an accident or injury. I have attempted the recommended soft reset using the power and tune buttons, but the problem persists. I have also taken the vehicle to dealerships multiple times, and their “solutions” have been limited to replacing wiring harnesses or attempting unrelated fixes that clearly do not address the root problem. This not on
