2011 DODGE DURANGO Electrical System Problems

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR. THE CAR ALSO DID NOT RUN VERY WELL WHILE DRIVING. DEALER IS SAYING IT IS A FAULTY TIPM WHICH CONTROLS THE ELECTRICAL FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,770.

DURANGO MADE LOUD SCREECHING SOUND THEN BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THIS SOUND AND LIGHT MOST OF THE DAY. THEN CAR COMPLETELY DIED. NO ELECTRICAL OR POWER. HAD A SMELL OF SMOKE IN ENGINE BAY. DURANGO WILL NOT START. LIKELY A DEFECT OF TIPM MODULE MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING. WILL HAVE TO TOW THE DURANGO TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. *TR

AFTER 3 MONTHS THAT THE TIPM WAS REPLACE BY EXTERNAL WIRING THE CAR START TO LOOSE POWER AND TURN OF WE WENT TO DO A DIAGNOSIS AND THE WIRING FOR THE TIPM WAS BAD RE WIRING SO THE CAR COMP TURN OFF BY HER SELF TO PREVENT OVER POWER SO DA NEGROS TO DO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE TURN OFF BY HERSELF. NIGHTMARE TO DRIVE ON A STREET WITH TO MANY LIGHTS TO RUN. THE GOD NEWS IS THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPLACE DON'T WANT TO THEY CARE OF THE PROBLEM NOW AFTER A YEAR WITH THIS ISSUE AND FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER DODGE DEALER THAT WE ARE PAYING AND EXTRA CHARGE FOR NOT BEING BOUGHT JUST TO DO THE WORK AGAIN. *TR

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO STOPPED STARTING WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WHEN MY WIFE WAS BRINGING HOME OUR 5 KIDS FROM SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY START THE VEHICLE WITH TAKING OFF THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND STARTING IT WITH THE KEY. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY WORKS 80% OF THE TIME. WE TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY FOUND IT IS THE TIPM(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS IS THE PART THAT IS EFFECTED IN THE UPCOMING RECALL THAT STARTS ON THE 24TH. MY VEHICLE BUILD DATE IS 4/21/2011 WHICH IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLES EFFECTED. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 APPRX 8:15AM AFTER DROPPING OFF MY TWO OLDEST CHILDREN AT SCHOOL, MYSELF AND MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO THE GAS STATION. AFTER PUTING GAS, OUR 2011 DODGE DURANGO FAILED TO START. AFTER OVER 1 HOUR OF ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, I FINALLY ACCEPTED THE SITUATION AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE AND (MOST IMPORTANTLY) MY DAUGHTER HOME SAFELY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTACT A WELL KNOWN MECHANIC TO HELP ASSESS THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC I CONSULTED IS ONE OF THE TOP MECHANICS WHO WORKS FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, SERVICING ALL THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SANITATION. AFTER EXAMINING MY VEHICLE AND TOWING IT CLOSER TO HIS PLACE OF BUSINESS HE LATER IDENTIFIED TO PROBLEM AS BEING THE ELECTRICAL/ENGINE PART KNOWN AS THE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" (TIPM). FLASH FORWARD ONE MONTH AND WE HAVE NOW...

AS OF TODAY OCTOBER 6TH, 2014 I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST IT HAS NOT WANTED TO START. IT WILL CRANK LIKE IT WANTS TO BUT NOTHING. THE FUEL PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN AFTER THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF, DRAINING MY BATTERY COMPLETELY. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I LOST ALL POWER, STEERING AND BREAKING ABILITY. ONCE I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE CAR WOULD NOT START! IT TOOK ME A GOOD 10 MINUTES TO GET IT RUNNING. THEN IT WOULD IDLE VERY LOW AND NOT WANT TO MOVE. THIS IS MY PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE AND I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR. I WOULD HATE TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSE ALL POWER WITH THEM IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY IT WAS...

OUR VEHICLE HAD IT'S FIRST NON-START IN JUNE 2014. IT HAS CONTINUED ON FOR MONTHS, AT RANDOM INTERVALS. OUR DURANGO NOW WON'T START BY USING THE PUSH START OR BY USING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I AM SEEING A TREND ONLINE OF TIPM ISSUES AND CLASS ACTION SUITS. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS OUR ISSUE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE ODOMETER STOPPED OPERATING. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY DECELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIPM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

FIRST INCIDENT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON DASHBOARD WHERE GOING HAYWIRE LIKE IF THE TRUCK WAS POSSESSED. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHERE ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK WHEN I PULLED OVER. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS IT MOVED OUT OF PARK BUT COULD NOT DRIVE OVER 45 MPH BECAUSE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS STILL GOING HAYWIRE! THEN IN AUGUST OF 2014 TRUCK STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AGAIN STARTING, THEN FINALLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, IT WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING I FINALLY GOT IT TO START AND STAY ON AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN AND THE TRUCK JUST LOST ALL POWER IN THE ENGINE AND SHUT OFF. I HAD TO ROLL OVER TO THE RIGHT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING! AFTER...

THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH FAILED STARTS. IT WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE INSTANCES TO GET VEHICLE TO START. SOMETIMES THE THE FUEL PUMP WOULD CONTINUE TO PUMP EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS STOPPED. THIS CAUSES A VERY SMOKY BURNING SMELL COMING FROM EXHAUST AND ENGINE. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORT THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY TIPM MODULE. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BUT VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH STALLING WHILE RUNNING. REPAIRS ESTIMATED AT $1200. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 9/1/14 AND BEGAN EXHIBITING PROBLEMS IN FIRST FIVE DAYS. 9/3/14, THE CAR DID NOT START ON THE FIRST PUSH OF BUTTON, BUT STARTED ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. ON 9/5/14, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR (DRIVE) AND IT BEGAN SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND HIT THE STOP BUTTON AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. IT STARTED ON THE NEXT ATTEMPT. ON 9/20/14, HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM STARTING, BUT THIS TIME IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED A BIT AND EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED. MY DAUGHTER ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR THE SAME DAY AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. 9/21/14 EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. ON 9/22/14, I DROVE IT TO...

I HAD PROBLEMS STARTING MY CAR. THE ENGINE WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START. I PUT THE IGNITION ON RUN, PUMPED THE GAS A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START MOST OF THE TIME. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE WE REPLACED THE TIPM. THAT HAS SO FAR FIXED THE STARTING ISSUE, BUT NOW MY FOG LIGHTS BLINK WHEN I TRY TO USE MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. THIS IS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT DANGER WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY RIGHT BLINKER. THE DEALER HERE HAS SAID THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THE TIPM "FLASHED" IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO THE COST OF THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL $125. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS WILL CAUSE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS ISSUES AS I HAVE RESEARCHED...

WHEN I PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON THE STARTER CONTINUES TO TURN BUT THE CAR DOES NOT START. IT IS NECESSARY TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR TO GET THE STARTER TO STOP SPINNING. VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURE NOTIFICATIONS ARE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP STARTED RUNNING WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE BATTERY HAD BEEN COMPLETELY DRAINED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. IN THE SPAN OF TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD RUN WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO START. IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO TURN OVER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THAT PROBLEMS WERE CAUSED BY A FAULTY TIPM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND REPROGRAM IT WAS $1350. *TR

IGNITION JUST KEEPS CLICKING/SPINNING WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. IT ISN'T CONSISTENTLY STARTING, AND THE LAST TIME IT DID, THE RPM'S KEPT ACCELERATING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T BEING PUSHED ON. THIS OCCURRED AT AROUND 25-30 MPH. I DO NOT TRUST DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS SOLVED. *TR

THE RECALL FOR THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS ANNOUNCED AROUND 09/20/14. ON 09/23/14 MY DURANGO STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. IT WOULD TAKE 2 OR 3 TRIES TO START BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED. ON 09/26/2014 IT TOOK MORE THAN 2 HOURS TO GET MY CAR TO START. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO PROMPTLY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL. I HAD ALREADY SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WHO SAID THAT SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE LIST OF VIN NUMBERS YET THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I JUST SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT IS INDEED THE PART UNDER RECALL BUT THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $530 TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED AND THEN ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT WHEN CHRYSLER GETS AROUND TO SENDING OUT THOSE LETTERS AT THE END OF OCTOBER. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AGAIN TO ASK HOW THE REIMBURSEMENTS...

2011 DODGE DURANGO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TIPM RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER LEARNED THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF PARTS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY.

MY WIFE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE DURANGO ON TUESDAY MORNING 9/16. MY WIFE REPEATLY TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY CRANK, IT WOULD SPUTTER AND DIE. IF YOU TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS THE ACCELERATOR WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE ENGINE REVVING. AFTER SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY STARTED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS SHE LEFT WORK THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED TURN THE KEY NOTHING, TURN THE KEY NOTHING, TAKE THE KEY OUT, TURN THE KEY, IT CRANKS AND THEN SHUTS OFF. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE SAME ROUTINE OVER AND OVER WE FINALLY GOT IT TO CRANK. WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR BATTERY TESTED AND IT PASSED. WE GOT A NEW BATTERY FOR THE REMOTE BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE FINALLY TOOK OUR DURANGO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STALLED. SOUNDED LIKE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF AND THEN IT STRUGGLED TO START AGAIN AND THEN JUST SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED. ADDITIONALLY SOMETIMES AND EVER INCREASING MY CAR WILL NOT START OR TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. YOU TURN THE KEY AND IT TRIES TO START YOU CAN HEAR IT, BUT WONT WITHOUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.SOMETIMES I WILL GO TO BACK OUT AND IT WILL GO AND THEN JUST STOP AND TURN OFF. I THOUGHT DUE TO MY CAR HAVING DIFFICULTIES STARTING IT COULD BE MY BATTERY SO I WENT AND GOT THAT CHECKED AND HE SAID MY BATTERY WAS WEAK SO I PURCHASED A 200 DOLLAR BATTERY TO FIND OUT MY CAR IS STILL NOT STARTING. MY CAR HAS STALLED ONCE ON MAIN ROAD WHICH IS FRIGHTENING WITH 4 KIDS IN THE CAR IN A VERY BUSY CITY! NOT TO MENTION WHEN UR BACKING OUT...

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, FAILURE TO START. THE STARTER WOULD CRANK, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD WORK, IT JUST WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED. THEY CHARGED IT AND IT TESTED FINE. IT STILL HAD ISSUES STARTING. THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS AND FINALLY REPLACED THE TPIM. 2 WEEKS LATER, THEY VEHICLE FAILED TO START AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME I HAD A DEAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT AGAIN. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS EXACT ISSUE IS NOTED BY MANY OTHER PEOPLE. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED ON THIS ISSUE? MY WIFE, 2 YEAR OLD AND 1 MONTH OLD WERE STUCK IN 110 DEGREE HEAT TRYING TO...

MY WIFE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING AFTER 10 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED SHE WAS GOING TO WORK AND WHEN SHE ARRIVED AND TURNED IT OFF THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO CAME OUT AND PICKED IT UP. AFTER THEY CHECKED IT OUT THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE TIPM HAD SHORTED . WE WERE INFORMED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY WE HAD. I THEN CONTACTED DODGE AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO FOR ME. I THEN EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING I HAD NO CONTROL OVER WITH THIS PART GOING OUT AND THAT REPEATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THE NEXT DAY I CONTACTED THE DEALER REQUESTING THE PART THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE AND I WAS INFORMED IT I WANTED IT I WOULD HAVE TO...

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO WILL NOT START AS OF TODAY. THERE HAVE BEEN HINTS OF A PROBLEM OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WITH HESITANT STARTS AND/OR REQUIRING 3-4 ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE INFAMOUS TIPM ISSUE, BUT I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW FOR CONFIRMATION. *TR

THE TIPM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROLLING AND DISTRIBUTING POWER TO ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING SAFETY AND IGNITION SYSTEMS. THE LAWSUIT CLAIMS CHRYSLER HAS LONG BEEN AWARE OF THE TIPM PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE IT. A DEFECTIVE TIPM CAN SOMETIMES MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO START YOUR CAR. IN ADDITION, IT CAN CAUSE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING RANDOMLY THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING THE HORN GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES IN OTHER WORDS, HAVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY TIPM IS LIKE DRIVING SOMETHING POSSESSED. *TR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND AFTER CHECKING THE FUSES AND RELAYS I FOUND A RELAY THAT RESET THE DASHBOARD ALARM I BOUGHT A NEW RELAY AND REPLACED IT.SOMETIME LATER MY CAR LOST ALL POWER . TOOK MY BATTERY OUT AND INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED /BAD. AFTER BUYING A NEW BATTERY MY WIFE REPORTED TO ME A NOISE COMING FROM THE GAS TANK AREA . AFTER INSPECTING THE AREA IN QUESTION I TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT AND FOUND OUT THAT MY FUEL PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND WAS THE REASON WHY MY ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED.AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER DODGE DURANGO'S AND THE ROOT CAUSE BEING THE TIPM.I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON A TEST FROM THE DEALER TELLING ME I HAVE A BAD TIPM WHEN I ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. SO WHERE DO I...

THIS IS THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH TIPM FAILURE, THE CAR JUST STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN JUST FINE WHEN STARTING BUT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC AND HE LET ME KNOW TODAY THAT IT IS THE TIPM WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE WITH LONG WAIT TIMES. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN ON OCCASION, TO NOT START, TO SHUT DOWN AFTER STARTING AND FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BE RUN DOWN. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED TIPM UNIT AT THE COST OF $963.04 FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD. THE DEALER SHIP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES HOWEVER CHRYSLER HOTLINE SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS AND WILL NOT COVER THE PART. *TR

VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER AND OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. APPLYING THE BRAKES AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON WOULD STOP THE MOTOR FROM TURNING OVER. OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE WOULD START AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. HOWEVER, IT NOW DOES NOT START AT ALL. *TR

2011 DURANGO WITH THE TIPM ISSUE. CHRYSLER DODGE BASICALLY SAID I'M SOL AND SO DID THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MAC HAIK GEORGETOWN. PARTS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL COST $1200. NO HELP FROM EITHER PARTIES. HOW MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE TO BE IN ACCIDENTS BE FOR THEY TAKE ACTION? I GET A RECALL FOR A VANITY LIGHT WIRE THAT MAY SHORT AFTER A HEADLINER REPAIRS....REALLY, WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT MY DURANGO MAY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE, LOSS ALL POWER AND POSSIBLY CRASH, POSSIBLY INJURING MY FAMILY OR SOME ONE ELSE? I LEFT CHEVROLET FOR DEFECTS AND POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND NOW I WILL LEAVE CHRYSLER. AMERICAN TAX PAYERS BAIL THESE GUYS OUT AND THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT THE PEOPLE HOW KEPT THEM FROM DISSOLVING. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR IF IT STARTS IT TURNS BACK OFF. IT TAKES SOMETIME UP TO 4 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. *TR

VEHICLE TIPM FAILURE. VEHICLE HESITATES TO START OR FAILS TO START. FUEL PUMP STAYS ENGAGED UNTIL BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. *TR

NOTICED A VEHICLE STARTING PROBLEM SOMETIME IN EARLY 2014. THE STARTER WOULD JUST CRANK THE ENGINE WITHOUT IT FIRING. I DID NOTICE THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. I HAD TO LET OFF THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO DISENGAGE THE STARTER FROM TURNING THE ENGINE OVER. I THEN REPEATED THE PROCESS TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS & NO LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES OVER THE MONTHS WITH THE SAME OUTCOME UNTIL AUGUST 31, 2014. ON THIS DATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER 3 OR 4 TIMES, ALSO NOTING THE LIGHTNING BOLT ILLUMINATED. I THEN PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED WITH WARNING LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 AND AGAIN HAD TO START THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT DAY...

VEHICLE STALLED A FEW TIMES AND HAD A ISSUE WITH RESTARTING.TOOK IT TO DODGE THAT FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY TO GET DIAGNOSED THEY FOUND A COUPLE ISSUES THE MAIN ONE BEING THE RELAY TO THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED IN THE TIPM WAS INOP AND CAUSING THE NO START ISSUE THAT MADE THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY TOTALLY SHUT OFF. REPLACED THE VEHICLE BATTERY THE NEXT WEEK AND THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS. EVERY TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED IT REMAINED TO OPERATE UNTIL THE NIGHT WHEN IT WAS DEAD NO RESPONSE. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE TIMES OUT AND DEFAULTS TO THE TOTALLY DEAD MODE UNTIL JUMPSTARTED THE NEXT DAY. *TR

SINCE NEW THIS CAR HAS HAD INTERMITTENT NO START CONDITION. WE RETURNED TO DEALER MORE THAN ONCE. HAD FOBS REPLACED ETC. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE. WE HAD MADE AN APPT FOR A WEEK OUT TO GET THE DEALER (QUICKEST THEY WOULD GIVE US). CAR AGAIN WENT INTO NO START MODE. WE TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER . THEY TOLD US THEY HAVE SEEN THE ISSUE AND WOULD REPAIR BY ADDING A RELAY SO FUEL COULD GET TO ENGINE. (STAR CASE #S130800039). THEY MADE THE REPAIR. WE HAVE NOT HAD ISSUE AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BEING LEFT STRANDED WITH A CAR THAT WILL NOT START. PLEASE REQUIRE DODGE TO RECALL AND REPAIR ALL LIKE VEHICLES. ALSO REQUIRE DODGE TO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US LEFT HOLDING THE BILL FOR REPAIRS COMPLETED! THANK YOU. *TR

MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND/OR JERKING DURING DRIVING BEFORE FINALLY NOT STARTING AT TIMES. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE; WHICH HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS A PROBLEM BY MANY DODGE OWNERS IN SEVERAL VEHICLES, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, IT AS IF THE COMPANY IS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO STALL IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THEY RESPOND TO THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE REPS EVEN DENIED ANY ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE PART IN THEIR VEHICLES, BUT WHEN YOU SEARCH THE WEB THE COMPLAINTS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED. *TR

THE PROBLEM FIRST MANIFESTED ITSELF IN AN OCCASIONAL DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE, TYPICALLY AFTER IT SAT OVERNIGHT. UPON PRESSING THE START BUTTON THE STARTER WOULD ENGAGE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. PRESSING THE START BUTTON AGAIN TO STOP THE CRANKING AND THEN RE-PRESSING THE BUTTON WOULD GET THE ENGINE TO START. WEEKS WOULD SOMETIMES GO BY WITHOUT THE PROBLEM RECURRING. AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JULY 2014 THE PROBLEM STARTED TO GET MUCH WORSE, THE CAR SOMETIMES NOT STARTING MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY EVEN AFTER SHORT STOPS. AROUND THE END OF JULY MY WIFE HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HER, GOT THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT AS SHE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE TRAFFIC LANE. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY "CLEARED SEVERAL FAULT CODES" AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THREE DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE ONCE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V391000 (ELECTRICAL). HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES AND SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V391000 (LIGHTING). HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

THE INITIAL INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS THE VEHICLES INABILITY TO START (USUALLY TOOK 3-4 TRIES). ONCE IT STARTED THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD SHUTTER THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. FINALLY STARTING OKAY AFTER SEVERAL STUMBLING STARTS. IT WOULD RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING (MAKES THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE). THE FINAL TIME WAS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO DRIVE (OR PARK). IT WOULD ACT AS IF IN NEUTRAL EXCEPT THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE BUZZING WHEN CLICKED BACK TO PARK. THE INITIAL ENGINE ISSUES TURNED OUT TO BE THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THE FUEL PUMP WAS BEING SHUT DOWN BY THE TIPM. THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS DUE TO A 4 LOW NEUTRAL SWITCH BEING STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. BOTH ARE BEING FIXED MY OUR EXPENSE NOW AS THEY ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THESE PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE...

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE DURANGE THAT HAS A FAILING TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER, WILL CONTINUE TO SELL THE CARS WITHOUT FIXING SO WE GET SO SPEND OVER 1,000.00 TO FIX IT! *TR

APPARENTLY MY TIPM HAD MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING IGNITION PROBLEMS IN MY VEHICLE. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE WITH A MULTITUDE OF DODGE VEHICLES AND DODGE REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!! *TR

THIS USED VEHICLE (NO FULL FACTORY WARRANTY) WAS PURCHASED AT A LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN THE SOUTH HOUSTON, TEXAS AREA ON TUESDAY AUGUST 26, 2014 WITH 39,332 MILES ON IT. THE DRIVE HOME WAS ABOUT 96 MILES +-. THE NEXT MORNING WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27, 2014 I WENT OUT TO THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL I JUST PURCHASED AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE DURANGO, THE STARTER JUST CRANKED & CRANKED WITH NO STARTING, SO THE START BUTTON HAD TO BE PUSHED TO STOP THE CRANKING SO THE STARTER WOULD NOT BURN UP. THIS IS ONE OF THE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TICM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF, AND IT IS KNOWN THAT THE ENGINE COULD POSSIBLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER/DODGE MUST BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED. IT IS ALSO BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER KNEW FULLY WELL THAT THE PROBLEM...

I WENT TO START THE DURANGO AND IT WOULDN'T START. LIKE AN OLDER CAR DOES WHEN IT IS COLD. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT WILL START. THROUGHOUT THE DAY IT USUALLY STARTS UP. AFTER FOOTBALL PRACTICE A COUPLE DAYS AGO I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE MOSTLY IN THE MORNINGS. IT HAS STARTED TO TURN INTO AN EVERYDAY THING. IT IS TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START THE DURANGO. ONE EVENING AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE DURANGO DIED. I WAS HALFWAY PULLED OUT INTO THE ROAD AND IT TOOK ALMOST 10 MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED. CARS HAD TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR MY CHILDREN (13 MONTHS, AND 8 YEARS) AND MY OWN SAFETY. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH DURANGOS. I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD RECALL THE TIPM! *TR

YESTERDAY, AFTER MY OIL CHANGE, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT NEVER RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. IT CRANKED AND CRANKED BUT WOULD NOT START. TRIED MANY TIMES. IT FINALLY STARTED AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND I WENT HOME. ONCE HOME, I STARTED IT THREE TIMES JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD START. THEN, THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT START. HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TODAY AND STILL WON'T START NO MATTER WHAT. THERE IS A RED LIGHTNING BOLT AND IT SAYS KEY NOT DETECTED MESSAGE. THE KEYS HAVE NEW BATTERIES. HAVE CHECKED INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS. THERE ARE MANY LIKE THIS. PLEASE DO A RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE OR PAY ME FOR THE TOWING AND REPAIRS I HAVE TO MAKE TO THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

ON JULY 30TH, 2014 MY WIFE WENT SHOPPING AND WHEN SHE CAME OUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS SURE SHE SHUT IT OFF. SHE SAID YES. THEN A FEW DAY'S LATER WE WENT TO EAT AND UPON TRYING TO START THE CAR TO LEAVE IT WOULD NOT START. IT SAID PRESS START. IT DID AND NOTHING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED WITH THE SECURITY ALARM GOING OFF. I SHUT OFF AND RE-STARTED AND ALL APPEARED OK. TODAY AUGUST 27, 2014 I WENT TO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE CAR AGAIN WAS RUNNING. I AM 100% POSITIVE THAT I DID SHUT OFF AND ALSO LOCKED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE MESSAGE WAS TO PRESS THE START, WITH THE CAR ALREADY RUNNING! ON THE WAY HOME, IT SEEMED WARM WITH THE AC GOING. I HAD PUSHED THE AUTO BUTTON AND NOTICED...

ON THE ABOVE DATE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE TOWN OF PAX, WV WHEN OUR 2011 DODGE DURANGO STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, ON AN INCLINE. THANKFULLY SHE WAS NEAR A CHURCH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE PARKING LOT. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY ( $200) BECAUSE OUR FUEL PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF, EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE TO UNHOOK THE POSITIVE BATTERY LEADS TO GET IT TO GO OFF. I HAVE HAD 2 DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON IT AND THEY BOTH CAME UP WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS ( ONE WAS RUN BY A LOCAL MECHANIC THE OTHER BY A REGISTERED CHRYSLER DEALER AT $99). I TOOK IT TO A THIRD MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT WAS MY TIPM AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT A DEALERSHIP SO THAT IT COULD BE PROGRAMMED CORRECTLY....
