We are at 33k on our 2013 Durango. I just made an appointment to have all recalls performed and some other warranty service done.
Recalls:
#1 Fuel pump relay TIPM
#2 Brake booster shield thingy
#3 Sun Visor (They say they dont have the parts?!) I have read that I should avoid this one?

Warranty Stuff:
#4 One of the rear shocks is clunking again. I had one of the rear shocks replaced at 10k miles. I'm not sure if its the same one or the other one. I'm going to push for two new shocks.

#5 Furthest right passenger side a/c vent is slipping out of its proper position slightly. By 1/2" or so.

#6 Front end seems to be clunking a bit. Hard to tell if it is the back sounding like the front...

Zero other issues with the Durango. My wife drives it daily and still loves it.

Anything else I need to have looked at or fixed before 36k rolls by?

 

I'd look at the maintenance schedule and see what major maintenance items will need to be addressed.

 

I am more asking about preventative repair of warrantied items or upcoming recalls.

I'm not really interested in paying their high labor rates to perform mundane tasks. I have a guy who works on my vehicles for half their rate per hour.

The only scheduled maintenance I see is spark plugs and diff services. I plan to do those myself.

 

OK. That info was not readily apparent in your first post.

 

I think you've got it covered. I also had the rear shock issue pop up around 10,000 miles. There's a TSB and it says it's not the shocks, but the rear upper strut mounts. Find that TSB, print it out, and take it to the dealer and tell them this is exactly what you're experiencing. It overrides all previous TSBs on the issue. My dealer replaced both rear shocks even though the sound was coming from the left rear and so far so good, but it's only been about 500 miles since it was done. If it comes back, I'm pushing them to do the upper strut mounts.

 

Find some speed bumps and hit them at speed - if the noise is going to crop back up, that should trigger it

 

The fuel pump relay they will add for the R09 is usually placed in a dumb spot and pretty flimsy. I moved mine to a more secure location. They used a plastic push thingy that barely held it in place. I'll take pics soon to show where I moved it using existing hardware.

 

I live in Michigan. With the state of the roads currently, speed bumps won't be necessary.

 

I'm with hellomoto_25. I didn't like the plastic clip they used to attach the relay. So I moved it less than 3 inches to where IT SHOULD have been attached. It took an 8mm socket and about 5 minutes of time. Attached a pic.

 

Great info on the relay. Thanks
