I got a lemon!!
 

What do I do? we have a 2011 durango with hemi. 35000 miles.

It has been shutting off randomly while driving!! I 49 while exiting, coming to a stop at lights, backing out of the driving way etc.

Its Shutting off like some one just pulled the plug no power.

This had happened at least 15 times. Brought it in to acadiana dodge they changed the computer. But its still happening.

No engine codes are showing up when they check it. They are clue less and Cant find the problem.

im not trading it in bc in bc that will put me upside down going in to the nx vehicle.

This will be the second time going In for the same problem so arbitration isnt an option yet....

I think Haoward found your problem.

Yep I know the problem but what should I do

They have a guy in that link that you send the part to and he will fix it for cheaper and quicker than dodge.

And, don't drive a dodge unless someone gives it to you...

Put a match in the gas tank.

Man don't drive it anymore you could die and what u Gunna do then.

Please don't .

Bring it in and request a loner till they get there **** together .

It is not safe and they can not say otherwise.

Lit?

It helps. If not the first one then definitely make sure the second one is lit.

Agreed

Yep

We just went through the same thing with a 2013 Nissan pathfinder. 12 months old & been in the shop 9 times. You can contact Dodge corporate & have them review your case & offer you a buy back price. You can also do the same with your local dealership. We were upside down, but the dealership offered to pay our loan off if we bought another vehicle from them. We decided not to, but went to the Toyota dealership with the buy back offer in hand & was able to negotiate a better trade in offer with them & picked up a 4runner 2 nights ago.

awesome info bro!!! I will call dodge and see what they will do Thanks

Damn Alpha I got the same problem with my wife's Durango thought I was only one. Same year as yours and same amount of miles. Everything electronic shut off on it one time. They had to order new computer. It stayed in the shop for a month because part was on back order. I have been wondering what the hell I'm going to do with this POS myself.

Never buy Dodge... Dodge = Lemon

I bought a 4x4 in 1996.... and stayed in shop for 3 years off and on.. last one I will ever own...learned quick

94-2001 rams were quite possibly the worst trucks ever.

Yeah but wait guys! Chrysler made it all better. They re-branded it as Ram! :eek:

Dodge.....:rotfl::rotfl: Cannot believe some people actually buys that CRAP.....

Id call the the dealership again and demand they fix it or replace it , if they didn't I'd have the local news show up to do a special on customer service

I had the tipem/computer replaced already its a dedective part from dodge. This is the second time I brought it in but 1st time to where I brough the vehicle.

Have you talked to Inchspinner about this? He successfully got a buy back from Dodge on his wife's car.

I will give him a call

Haha. My company buys the 2500 4 X's by the trailer it seems. Right now my issued vehicle is a 2012 2500 heavy duty with the 5.7 hemi. Pure turd and gas guzzler. The last one I had was a '07 4.8l 1500 that finally gave up the ghost at around 180k. Had to replace heads, cooling system and transmission at 110k. Never had the electronics kill on me tho.

Only thing worth buying is the diesel since they stopped making the 318

But the rest of the truck around the motor is junk, so if you can afford a few thousand more, buy a decent brand. Pay for it up front or pay for it 3x in repairs over the time you own it. I made the Dodge mistake once, and I've towed boats home twice now for people who lost their trannies on boat ramps. Complete trash vehicles.

I had one of those lemons in 2003, dodge Durango. By the time I hit 37000 miles it was in the shop 12-14 times for the same problem, the part believe it or not they had to get from gm. Took all the paperwork to a lawyer that advertises for the lemon law and Still could not get them to take it back. I just wanted to get out from under it. Get rid of now before warranty is up.

I've had 5 dodge trucks. 4 with Hemi and one diesel. Never had any problems. So what brand never has a lemon????

alpha my neighbor has a Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi Nd its giving him the same problems.
