What owners say about the electrical system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.”

“MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HAS BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE THE 4X4 KEEPS TURNING ITSELF ON WITHOUT ME ACTUALLY ENGAGING IT. IVE BEEN HAVING A VERY HUGE WITH SOLVING THE ISSUE BUT I WAS ABLE TO READ A FORUM WHICH STATED THAT I SHOULD FILL OUT THIS FORM. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, IN MOTION, OR WHEN I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY PAD.”

“VEHICLE IS SWITCHING INTO 4WD LOW WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE ACTUATOR ACTIVATING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING AND WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BASED ON RESEARCH THAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES FOR DODGE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM COULD CHANGE INTO 4WD OR 4WD LOCK AT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.”

“THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONSISTENTLY GOING BAD , DUE TO FAULTY WIRING HARNESS OR OTHER ISSUES. THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING , AND THE ITS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. SUGGESTED REPAIR IS TO JUST REPLACE , BUT I REPLACE 1 A YEAR . I HAVE REPLACED 6 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM TO WHY THE CPS KEEPS FAILING .”
