Dodge Durango starts then shuts down immediately, keyless entry malfunction on Dodge Durango

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle starts but shuts down immediately, often accompanied by a keyless entry malfunction. These problems may stem from a malfunctioning key fob or issues within the keyless entry system itself. Additionally, some owners have identified potential causes for the starting issue, such as fuel delivery problems like a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump, air intake issues due to a dirty air filter or malfunctioning mass airflow sensor, and ignition system failures involving faulty spark plugs or ignition coils. Electrical system problems, including a bad battery or alternator, can also lead to starting difficulties and sudden shutdowns. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations affecting the engine cooling system may result in overheating and shutdowns, particularly when idling. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues seek inspection from a qualified mechanic to properly diagnose and resolve the underlying causes. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are essential for ensuring the reliable operation of the Dodge Durango.
