NHTSA Complaint #10592686 — 2011 DODGE DURANGO

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, WOULD START THEN IT WOULD SHUT OFF WITHIN A FEW SECONDS OF BEING ON, THIS WOULD BE REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY ON AND WE COULD DRIVE IT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD BE A CONTINUED PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE SAME DAY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT BACK IN APRIL 2014 . WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, BUT THEY DID NOT FIND A SOLUTION. WE INFORMED THE DEALER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM MODULE AND THAT WE FELT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER DENIED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL LINE RELAY REMAINS ACTIVE AND ENGAGED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STANDING, THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING IF IT WERE TO BE REAR ENDED OR HIT BY A MOVING VEHICLE. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT OUR CHILDREN, ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN. WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM AND WITH A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE VERY PART THAT NEEDS FIXING, WE FIND IT UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL!! *TR
