Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I TOOK MY 2016 DODGE DURANGO TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE (NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) BECAUSE THE BOOSTER DEVELOPED A VACUUM LEAK INSIDE UNDER THE DASH. AFTER REMOVAL, WE FOUND THE BOOSTER WAS FILLED WITH WATER. I FOUND A RECALL FOR EARLIER YEAR DODGE DURANGOS FROM 2011-2014 WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL T59 / NHTSA 17V-572), AND THE FIX WAS TO INSTALL A SHIELD TO PROTECT WATER FROM ENTERING. MY BOOSTER ALREADY HAD THIS SHIELD AND WAS INSTALLED CORRECTLY, YET IT STILL FILLED WITH WATER. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2019, SO I HAVE NO SERVICE HISTORY AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION TO THE PICTURES, I ALSO TOOK A VIDEO SHOWING THE WATER, PLEASE SEE THIS LINK: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/5BD3JWUNFE4
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKES ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE FISHTAILED DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SPUN AROUND IN THE DIRECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
