After having broken exhaust manifold bolts fixed a month ago which is also a known issue and two recalls fixed two weeks ago this is hard to take. Very disappointing as the cost to repair is not covered by the 10 year 100k mile powertrain warrantly and is well over $1,000. Apparently the fuel pump relay which is just an electric switch is faulty but it is part of an "integrated" electrical power block and the whole thing has to be replaced. When you push the button the starter turns the engine over rapidly but it won't actually start the engine. Car takes five to seven pushes of the start button to finally start. The amount of money we are putting into the car is become more than the car is worth anymore.Ģ013 Hemi Durango with a known issue (fuel pump relay which is part of the Totally Integrated Power Module). We have decided to just get rid of the car. Once we started it back up, all was fine for the ride home. We immediately turned on our hazards and when it was safe to coast to the shoulder, my husband turned the car off and sat for a few minutes. We were passing a vehicle in the far left lane when we lost power. I will also mention the time when we drove the car out of town about a month ago (about 3 hour road-trip) and while driving on the Turnpike, the car lost almost all power. So it looks like we have a whole NEW issue to deal with. But I watched the people standing on the sidewalk ahead and they didn't move or seemed concerned. I thought we may have been having an earthquake. HOWEVER, just today, I turned to go into a parking space and the car started violently shaking. My husband decided he'd try to switch out the recall and so far, the car has been fine. It's been intermittently doing this for the past six months. We brushed it off thinking there's no way and it was fine for a few months. We didn't even have the car a week back from him and the car stalled out again after trying to start it. He seemed to think that was the CORRECT noise and so we tuned it out. We shelled out $1000 and replaced the fuel pump only to realize it was making a loud humming noise. But I guess that's why I left it up to the expert. Local mechanic quickly diagnosed it as a failing fuel pump.Ī fuel pump failing at only 48,000 miles seems odd and I'm not even a mechanic. This happened off and on for a couple thousand miles before we decided to take it to a local mechanic. And then when we'd go and try to start it again, it'd crank, but not turnover. At about 48,000 miles we noticed the car would start, and then shut off. Ours was changed before we bought it and we verified that it indeed was changed. Supposedly there is a Fuel Pump Relay recall on this vehicle. Little did I know she'd decide that after only 2 years of treating her like a queen and 30,000 miles later, would she decide to give up and die. This SUV was going to be my baby until she decided to give up on me. Most of our other cars were hand-me-downs and had over 100,000 miles on them when we acquired them. This was the first car I bought on my own that was brand new (to us). We had the oil changed right at the recommended date and treated her like a queen. We bought our 2013 Dodge Durango with only 13,000 miles on it.
