2011 Dodge Durango Brakes Problems

Your rear brake pads are wearing out prematurely—they've worn to a point requiring replacement after only 6,000 miles of driving since you bought the car, with the vehicle having just under 25,000 total miles. A service technician rated the brake condition as a 3 (indicating significant wear) and recommended new brake pads. The fix will involve having a mechanic inspect the rear brake system and replace the worn brake pads, and possibly examining why they're wearing faster than normal.

SAYS INCOMPLETE RECALL, NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY OR BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE A PROBLEM CURRENTLY WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH MY VEHICLE SPUTTERING TO START OCCASIONALLY. NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF ASAP! CAR SITS ON SPUTTERING AFTER PUSHING THE START BUTTON AND SOMETIMES WON'T SHUT OFF FROM THAT UNLESS I RELATEDLY HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON AGAIN

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE SIMPLY BROKE UPON REGULAR DEPLOYMENT. THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON A LOW GRADE HILL, NOT A STEEP HILL. THE DEALERSHIP, KING'S DODGE, CINCINNATI, REPORTED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS WEATHER CORROSION TO THE COMPONENTS. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. I'VE NEVER HAD AN EMERGENCY BRAKE FAIL ON ANY OF MY PREVIOUS DODGE VEHICLES.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR EXIT THE ROAD VIA OFF RAMP OR TURN, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL CAUSING BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN. IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY. IT ALWAYS APPEARS TO BE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT A ROAD OR TAKE A TURN. I HAVE TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPS AND PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO START IT AGAIN. IT WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE. IN ORDER TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISON, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND DROVE ONTO A GRASS MEDIAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODE THERMAL FATIGUE AND STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS OUT SEPTEMBER AND HERE IT IS NOVEMBER AND I HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I FOUND THE RECALL ON LINE.

FACTORY WIRED TOW PACKAGE NOT SETUP CORRECTLY. BUILT-IN BRAKE CONTROL WIRING HARNESS NOT RECEIVING VOLTAGE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED/NO VOLTAGE RECEIVED FROM STOP LIGHT SWITCH TO PORT/WIRING HARNESS.

TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT SLOWLY TO FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, REAPPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY DID WORK CAUSING ME TO HIT THAT CAR AGAIN. THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY FOOT WAS DEPRESSING BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE SO II USED MY LEFT FOOT, RESULT THE SAME. I DID THIS MANY MORE TIMES AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PULLED OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I WAS SURE IT WAS SAFE. THIS HAPPENED IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, I MANAGED TO AVOID HITTING ANY OF THE WORKERS AND THE 3 TRUCKS THAT THEY WERE USING. ONE OF THE WORKERS ASKED WHAT HAPPENED, I EXPLAINED TO HIM AND HE TRIED THE BRAKES, THEY WENT WERE SPONGY AND WENT SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED TO SEE IF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF SHE HAD ANY INJURIES, SHE SAID SHE WAS ALRIGHT. THE IMPACT WAS NOT HARD BECAUSE WE WERE BOTH GOING THE SPEED. CALLED THE MICHIGAN STATE POLICE (REFER TO INCEDENT # 31-10985-16 AND CRASH REPORT S/N 228890) NO TICKET ISSUED. CALLED FOR WRECKER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER WAS GARBER, 5330 BAY ROAD, SAGINAW MICHIGAN 48604, PHONE # 989-399-8550, SERVICE ADVISOR LARRY COOK. THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER ENGINEERING. LEFT VEHICLE OVE NIGHT, CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. BRAKES WORKED FINE, BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.

CHRYSLER ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY VEHICLE AND SAID THE DEALERSHIP WOULD INSTALL A PROTECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER SHIELD TO PREVENT WATER INGESTION AND PREMATURE CORROSION.

UPON RECEIVING THE LETTER, I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT ZIEGLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AT 208 W GOLF RD SCHAUMBURG, IL 60195 (847) 882-8400. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS IN STOCK AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL BELOW FREEZING WEATHER, AND "THAT HE DIDN'T EXPECT ANY BELOW FREEZING WEATHER FOR A WHILE". AND THEN HE COMPLAINED BECAUSE EVERY CALL HE IS GETTING TODAY IS ABOUT THIS RECALL. THEY CLAIM TO BE A 5-STAR SERVICE DEALER. SHOULDN'T THE RECALL PROCESS BE MORE COORDINATED WITH DEALERSHIPS? WHY DON'T THEY HAVE THE SHIELDS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL LETTER? THE SERVICE ADVISER IMPLIED THAT I CAN WAIT UNTIL WINTER BEFORE FINDING OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. THAT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE. *TR

WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SNOWY AND ICY DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE. WHILE IN ROUTE TO MY PLACE OF WORK I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MILD INCLINE TOWARD A STOP LIGHT WHICH HAD JUST TURNED RED. I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED (30 TO 35 MPH) DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS. DUE TO THOSE ICY CONDITIONS MY ABS IMMEDIATELY KICKED IN AS I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT. FOR A MATTER OF SECONDS I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY DEPRESSED CONTINUOUSLY ALL THE WAY TO THE STOP LIGHT AND I COULD HEAR THE TYPICAL ABS NOISE UNTIL MY VEHICLE STOPPED. ONCE TRAFFIC RESUMED I COULD FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN THE PRESSURE NEEDED TO APPLY AND ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING THE PRESSURE I NEEDED TO APPLY FOR BRAKING INCREASED DRAMATICALLY BUT WITH LESS AND LESS RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES. AFTER ONLY 1 ADDITIONAL TRIP I REALIZED THE NEED FOR SERVICE WORK AND SCHEDULED SERVICE. ON MY SECOND TRIP AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT BRAKING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND THE DASHBOARD BRAKE WARNING LAMP CAME ON. MY THIRD TRIP WAS TO SERVICE WHICH WAS SCHEDULED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FOUND TO BE THE ISSUE. INITIALLY THE SUPPLYING DODGE DEALER HAD TOLD THE REPAIR FACILITY WHICH DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE BUT ORDERS WERE BEING SHIPPED SOON TO FILL BACK ORDERS. THIS SUGGESTED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER MAY BE PRONE TO SOME TYPE OF FAILURE. ONLINE RESEARCH AND CHAT INDICATED THIS TO BE A COMMONLY ADDRESSED ISSUE. I PURSUED THIS CONCERN WITH DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AS A SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH 2 DIFFERENT MESSAGES. THE DODGE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A RECOGNIZED SAFETY ISSUE BUT ONLY AS A "OUT-OF-WARRANTY CONSIDERATION. SINCE ABS COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS, SAFETY CONCERNS STILL REMAIN REGARDING FURTHER ABS COMPONENT FAILURE UNDER NORMAL OPERATION. I HAVE RETAINED THE DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

OCCASIONALLY WHEN BRAKING, PARTICULARLY AT SPEEDS BELOW 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENS UP AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO TRAVEL DESPITE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A REPEATING PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT EVENTUALLY THIS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED AND BY OTHERS AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON 2012 THROUGH 2013, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT IS A 2011. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2011 CREW-TRACTION DEFECT. GOT THE CAR 12/23/11. ON 1/12/12, DURING SNOW STORM. I LEFT WORK, CAR WOULD NOT STAY ON THE ROAD, SLID SIDEWAYS AS I TURNED.

DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS DRIVING IT, THEY SLIDE. I AGAIN WENT 2 A DIFFERENT TIRE PLACE. THEY WANTED TO SELL ME THE SAME TIRES, I SAID NO WAY! THEY OFFERED ALTERNATIVES. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE WHAT KIND OF TIRES WOULD BE GOOD FOR MY CAR. MUCH TO MY DISMAY, APPARENTLY NONE ARE. WHAT I FOUND, WAS THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL '11 DURANGO OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TIRES ON THEIR CARS. SAME PROBLEMS, DIFFERENT TIRES & DIFFERENT TIRE MANUFACTURERS. THEIR CARS WILL NOT STAY ON THE ROAD WITH SNOW OR ICE EITHER. IT IS NOT THE TIRES, ITS A THE CAR! PLEASE STOP THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I WILL LIVE THE REST OF MY LIKE WITH TERRIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM THE SURGERY. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, & GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE IT, & TAKE A HUGE LOSS. *TR
