Problem overview

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing issues where the engine turns over but does not start after parking, often due to a dead 12v battery, corrosion on battery terminals, or a dead key fob battery. Additionally, other potential causes may include a bad alternator, clogged fuel filter, broken starter, blown fuse, empty gas tank, immobilizer error, or faults in the electrical system. Some owners note that the starting issue can be intermittent, with the vehicle taking longer to start each time before eventually firing up. To address these problems, it is recommended to check various components such as the battery, battery terminals, key fob battery, alternator, fuel filter, starter, fuses, gas level, and the overall electrical system. If issues persist, consulting a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair is advisable.
