Description of the problem | As of today october 6th, 2014 i am unable to drive my 2011 dodge durango. Since the beginning of august it has not wanted to start. It will crank like it wants to but nothing. The fuel pump will continue to run even after the car has shut off, draining my battery completely. Last week i was driving down the road at 40 mph and the car completely shut off. I lost all power, steering and breaking ability. Once i coasted to the side of the road the car would not start! It took me a good 10 minutes to get it running. Then it would idle very low and not want to move. This is my primary family vehicle and i will not put my family in this car. I would hate to be on the highway and lose all power with them in the car. Thankfully it was just me the other day. What angers me even more is that i am paying for a vehicle that is completely unsafe to drive and will leave you stranded. I have been told that the "recall" is not in effect and the dealer who services my car has not even heard of the recall. They did call me back and say they can't do anything till oct 24th, and even then the parts could be on back order for months. Very unhappy with the way this is being handled! |
