NHTSA Complaint #10549729 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP, AND IT DID NOT ACT THE WAY IT DID ON ME. SO THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, THE VERY NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START REGULARLY. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS TO THE STATER. TOOK VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP, THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS CURRENTLY OUR ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS THE FAMILY VEHICLE, USED ALSO FOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LEAST YEAR IN OCTOBER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON VEHICLE OWNED LESS THEN A YEAR. NOW THE PART FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I HAVE A USELESS VEHICLE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CAN'T DRIVE OR MOVE IT. THIS SHOULD BE ON RECALL!!!!!! AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR SUFFERING FROM CHRYSLER. I THINK THAT IT IS TIME THAT THE MEDIA BEWARE OF THE RAW DEAL CONSUMERS ARE GETTING FROM CHRYSLER. WHEN MY FIANCE DROVE IT TO WORK IT STALLED ON HER, COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED!!!!
