2011 DODGE DURANGO Electrical System Problems

WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT CRANKS CONTINUOUSLY WITH OUT STARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE STARTS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I BROUGHT THE AUTO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM..THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART,AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER..APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO REPAIR. *TR

PROBLEMS STARTING CAR. INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. DIDN'T MATTER IF THE CAR WAS IN A GARAGE OR OUTSIDE. COULD TAKE UPWARDS OF 20 MINUTES TO GET THE ENGINE RUNNING. DIAGNOSED AS TIPM FAILURE AND MODULE REPLACED. *TR

TIPM PROBLEM. *TR

WE ATTEMPTED TO START OUR VEHICLE, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES VEHICLE STARTED BUT STUTTERED, AS IF THEIR WAS NO FUEL GOING TO THE ENGINE. THERE HAD BEEN NO ENGINE OR SERVICE LIGHTS AT THE TIME. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY DURANGO AND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES, AND THE CAUSE WAS THE TIPM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TESTED IT, AND FOUND IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM, WHICH WAS FAILING TO ENGAGE THE FUEL PUMP. LUCKILY OUR CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME THE PROBLEM STARTED. MY WIFE GENERALLY DRIVES THIS VEHICLE WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN. OUR WARRANTY ENDED AT 36000 MILES, SO IT WAS NOT COVERED. MY OPTIONS WERE TO REPLACE THE TIPM FOR 1200 DOLLARS, OR PAY 428 DOLLARS TO HAVE AN EXTERNAL RELAY INSTALLED TO BYPASS THE FAULTY TIPM (CHRYSLER...

CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING ELECTRIC MODULE FRIED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SOMEONE WILL DIE IN THE FUTURE OF CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING FAST ON INTERSTATE. *TR

WENT TO START MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL.... IT WOULD NOT START. IT HAS 62000 MILES ON IT. HAD IT TOWED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE. IT WOULD COST 1250. NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS OF IT. THEY DID GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER IN CASE IT DOES GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND THEN THEY WILL RECALL IT. MEANWHILE I AM OUT THE MONEY. *TR

TIPM MODULE FAULTY. VEHICLE HARD STARTS WHEN COLD. NOT COVERED UNDER CHRYSLER 100000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALMOST ALL 2011 - 2012 JEEPS/DODGES AFFECTED. THIS IS BOGUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *TR

THE ISSUE STARTED WITH INTERMITTENT ISSUES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE (THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK, BUT NEVER TURN OVER) IN ADDITION TO OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS RANDOM PUTTERING WHILE DRIVING AND THE HORN GOING OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ON THE DATE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THAT THE ISSUES WERE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TIPM. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PART, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF THE PART FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF FAILURES RESULTING FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART. DESPITE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND THE HIGH NUMBER OF REPORTED INCIDENTS, CHRYSLER HAS TAKEN NO ACTION UP TO THIS POINT TO RECALL THE PART. *TR

THE TIPM! I NEED TO SAY NO MORE. WE NEED A RECALL TO PROTECT US. *TR

AFTER SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE CAR NOT STARTING FOR NO APPARENT REASON (I HAVE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION), I SUSPECTED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. TODAY, UPON ARRIVING HOME AND SHUTTING MY VEHICLE OFF AND EXITING I FOUND THAT MY VEHICLES FUEL PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF. IT CONTINUED TO RUN FOR 3 HOURS, UNTIL I PULLED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLERS TIPM IN 2011 DURANGO MODELS, AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS USING THE SAME MODULE. THE DANGER THAT A DEFECTIVE TIPM PRESENTS IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO USE THEIR SUV TO TRANSPORT THEIR SMALL CHILDREN. IT IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO NOT ADDRESS THE FAULTY NATURE OF A SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRICAL STIMULUS OF A VEHICLE, AND COULD POTENTIALLY DEPLOY AIRBAGS IN A NON LIFE THREATENING SCENARIO OR STALL THE ENGINE, OR PRESENT ANOTHER DEFECT AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME...

THE TRUCK WILL NOT TURN OVER OR START. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS. NOTICED THAT WHEN THE TRUCK DOES NOT WANT TO START, THE TRUCK IS HAVING ISSUES WITH CHANGING GEARS - EXAMPLE IS GOING INTO REVERSE, THERE IS A HUGE THUMP, THE TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL GO WHEN IT WANTS TO. THEN THE STARTING ISSUES BEGIN. ONCE THAT TRUCK IS NOT IN THE "MOOD" TO START, IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THE BATTERY IS GOOD BECAUSE ALL ACCESSORIES COME ON, BUT THE TRUCK WILL NOT TURN OVER. THE SHOP DOES NOT GIVE ME A REASON FOR THE ISSUE, BUT JUST TRIES DIFFERENT THINGS. ONE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUSHED, THE OTHER WAS A COMPUTER RESET AND IT'S IN THE SHOP AGAIN WHILE I WAIT TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT. *TR

I HAVE TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW AND STILL HAVE A STARTING ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE WIN MODULE AND THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY READ SOME CODES FROM IT AND DID NOTHING. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN FROM A LIGHT LAST WEEK AND I WENT TO HIT THE GAS AND THE SUV JUST STALLED. ALSO THE OTHER DAY I WAS SITTING IN LINE AT A DRIVE THROUGH AND IT JUST WENT OFF. IT IS VERY HARD TO GET IT TO START 95% OF THE TIME. IT TAKES ME 10 TO 15 MINS EVERY MORNING TO GET IT STARTED. *JS

WHEN THE KEY IS PUT INSIDE THE IGNITION, IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES FOR THE ENGINE TO START (IF AT ALL) AFTER FAILING MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER IT STARTS, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WHEN I AM DRIVING AT 30+MPH AND WHEN I HIT A STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED! *JS

DEFECTIVE TIPM. I'M POSTING THESE COMMENTS SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING A CALL FROM MY LOCAL DODGE SERVICE CENTER ADVISING ME OF THE CAUSE OF MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS (TIPM), THEN I FIND IT SHAMEFUL THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT IMPLEMENTED A FIX. FORTUNATELY I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR, BUT I DISLIKE HAVING TO USE IT FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

VEHICLE EXTREMELY HARD TO START - CAN SPEND OVER 10 MINUTES PUSHING START BUTTON WITH NO SUCCESS. FUEL PUMP REMAINS ON WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF AND PARKED. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE PROBLEMS, AS I CAN BE STRANDED ANYWHERE WHEN THE VEHICLE WON'T START. *TR

VEHICLE DOES NOT START. AND, WHEN IT STARTS IT STALLS. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE IS FAULTY AND DOES NOT SEND ELECTRICITY TO THE FUEL PUMP, THUS STARVING THE ENGINE. AFTER A MONTH THE CAR IS TOTALLY UNUSABLE. *TR

CAR HAS PROBLEMS STARTED. BUT NOT ALWAYS. *TR

TIPM MODULE IS STARTING TO FAIL. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES STARTING. *TR

FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE DURANGO I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE KEY FAB NOT BEING RECOGNIZED, NOT STARTING, AND THE REAR CAMERA NOT WORKING. THREE WEEKS AGO I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT STARTED TURNING OVER (TRYING TO START AGAIN, WHILE ON). SINCE ITS A PUSH BUTTON START I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND TRIED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT FINALLY WOULD GO BACK INTO PARK AND TURN OFF. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TWO DEALERS FOR THE DURATION OF THE ISSUE AND BOTH HAVE EITHER IGNORED THE PROBLEM OR CHARGED ME TO FIX SOMETHING. THE MOST RECENT WAS HAVING A "NO START SITUATION" WHERE THE FUEL RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SUPPOSEDLY THIS WAS GOING TO FIX ALL MY PROBLEMS. THE DAY AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, IT FAILED. NO START WHILE SITTING IN FRONT OF A CUSTOMERS HOUSE. AND OF COURSE, THE...

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE CRANK OVER TO START AND THEN STUTTER OUT OR CRANK TO START AND GET STUCK CRANKING UNTIL OPERATOR SHUT IT DOWN- SOMETIMES WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY BUT KEEP STUTTERING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. UPON BRINGING TO DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC IDENTIFIED ISSUES W/ LARIANT #5 STATING NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW STYLE LARIANT #6. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME- NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY. WHY NOT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH LARIANT #5 THAT NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED TO A NEW VERSION? AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, MULTIPLE OWNERS OF THE 2011 DURANGO HAVE REPORTED ISSUES OF THIS SAME PART. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED ON THIS FAULTY PART FROM THE FACTORY. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS HAS RESULTED...

WOKE UP THE DAY BEFORE THE FOURTH OF JULY AND GOT MYSELF AND THE KIDS READY TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN. LOADED EVERYONE IN THE CAR AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START. I PUSHED THE BUTTON AND IT ACTED LIKE IT WOULD START BUT IT WOULD NEVER TURN OVER. I TRIED FOR TWENTY MINUTES AND COULD NOT GET IT STARTED. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FIRST SAID IT WAS A WIRING AND IT WOULD BE COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT THEN THEY CALLED BACK TODAY AND SAID IT IS THE TIPM AND THEY ARE NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WILL BE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WILL TAKE "AWHILE" TO GET IT IN. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE TO GET ME TO WORK AND THREE KIDS TO ALL THE PLACES THEY HAVE TO BE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A HEADACHE AND THE...

ON SATURDAY MORNING I ATTEMPTED TO CRANK MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO MY PUSH START AND IT TRIED TO CRANK BUT WOULD NOT. I HAD TO REMOVE THE PUSH START BUTTON AND CRANK THE CAR MANUALLY, WHICH TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AFTER I GOT IT STARTED I HAD NO MORE TROUBLE THAT DAY. ON SUNDAY THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. IT AGAIN HAD TO REMOVE THE REMOTE START BOTTON BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY TRY TO START WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHEN WE WOULD GET THE CAR STARTED IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY DIE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND PRESSING THE GAS WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. I BEGAN TO READ ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT IS A FUALTY TIPM. I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY CAR IN. NOT HAPPY!! *JS

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. IT WOULD NOT START AND JUST KEPT TRYING TO TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WOULD START. THEN TODAY IT STARTED AND AFTER I LEFT THE HOUSE AND WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3YR OLD IN THE CAR, THE DURANGO STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN SO I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST. IT STARTED UP AGAIN BUT NOW TONIGHT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A FAN RUNNING UNDER MY CAR, AND THE CAR IS OFF. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ALL OF THE THINGS I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!!! *TR

PROBLEMS I'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST YEAR THAT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO FAULTY TIPM: - FAILURE TO DETECT KEY - THINKS KEY HAS LEFT VEHICLE - REMOTE START DISABLED - FAILURE TO START VEHICLE - "KEY BATTERY LOW" MESSAGE (KEY BATTERIES ARE IN FACT FULL CHARGE) - WHILE DRIVING: - BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON (NEARLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN) - ENTIRE DASH 'REBOOTS' OR RESETS COMPLETELY - HAVE HAD ALTERNATOR AND REMOTE START MODULE REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY) - PAID TO HAVE BATTERY REPLACED AT ABOUT 2.5 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP NOT ONCE HAS ANY SERVICE PERSON EVEN MENTIONED TIPM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, MY DURANGO CITADEL STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST CREATING A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

ON JUNE 20, 2014, MY DODGE DURANGO CITADEL STALLED IN TRAFFIC AT 50 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME IT HAD OCCURRED. I COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A SIDE STREET. *TR

THE TRUCK DON'T START IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PUSH START

DURANGO HAD A DIFFICULT TIME STARTING, IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT OR DURING THE WORK DAY. BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THE TRUCK FAILED TO START (THANKFULLY I WAS AT HOME) AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER ROUGHLY 2 WEEKS THE TIPM WAS REPLACED/REPAIRED AND I PICKED UP THE TRUCK ON 6/10/14. THE TRUCK NOW STARTS FINE, HOWEVER, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, NOW- AND THE FOG LIGHTS FLASH WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON! IN MANY CASES I HAVE HEARD THIS ALSO AFFECTS MY BRAKE LIGHTS!! MY LEGAL VEHICLE IS NOW ILLEGAL AND NOT AT MY OWN FAULT BUT THROUGH CHRYSLER/DODGE. *TR

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CRANKS BUT WONT TURN OVER AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT WOULD START AND AFTER A FEW DAYS IT JUST WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL.SO I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT IN TO DEALERSHIP.STILL HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY DURANGO SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY TIPM AND ALL I HAD TO PAY WAS MY DEDUCTIBLE.SO I PICKED IT UP WHEN THEY FIXED IT. DROVE IT HOME AND PUT ABOUT 30 MILES ON IT AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON SO I CALLED AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT BACK THE NEXT MORNING NOW THEY SAID IT WAS AN IGNITION COIL AND EXPECTED ME TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE AGAIN. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION THEY WAVED TO FEE.AND I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK AFTER ANOTHER DAY IN A HALF. I DROVE IT HOME AND...

CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, WOULD NOT RESTART. THE STARTER WOULD ENGAGE BUT IT WOULD NOT START THE CAR...CAR ENGINE WOULD SPUTTER CONTINUOUSLY. LOSS OF POWER, AND ELECTRICITY. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT FROM THE SIDE WHILE MY 2 KIDS WERE IN BACK SEAT!!!!!! THE OTHER CAR SLAMMED ON BREAKS STOPPING MERE INCHES FROM THE DRIVER-SIDE. A 5 CAR PILE UP BEHIND HIM OCCURRED DUE TO THIS MATTER! A GENTLEMAN PUSHED ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I RESEARCHED PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN!!!!! AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE, I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULD START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND MY PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT AT A IDLE UNTIL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURNING SIGNALS WOULD NOT OPERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY AND THE WOULD OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY ONCE RESTARTED AFTER STALLING, BUT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE REAR HATCH WOULD INDEPENDENTLY OPEN AND THE DOOR LOCKS WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT BECAME LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE POWER DOOR LOCKS BECAME OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT WAS LATER DIAGNOSED WITH A 4-WHEEL LOW LOCK SWITCH FAILURE WHEN IT ROLLED DOWNHILL WHILE SECURED IN PARK. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS...

WONT START JUST CRANKS AND WONT TURN OVER. IF START AFTER SEVER TIMES LOST COMPRESSION AND SHUT DOWN EVEN DRIVING IT. TREMBLING AND SHAKING WHEN ITS STARTS IF ITS STARTS. NOT TO ABLE TO START,SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNINGS. *TR

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...

THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING WHILE PARKED. VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IT WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT DETERMINED THE PROBLEM OR CAUSE. THEIR GUESS IS THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE, OR PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULES) AND THEY ALSO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. THE FAILURE WAS A CONSTANT OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. RK

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. I LOVE THIS VEHICLE. ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED JUST RECENT, IS THE REAR AC. FOR SOME REASON, IT WILL TURN TO HIGH FAN SETTING AND THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE POSSIBLE. THE REAR CONTROLS ARE ON COOL AND THE FAN IS SET TO LOW. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME SETTINGS FOR THE FRONT. I HAVE READ DIFFERENT FORUMS ONLINE AND SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS MATTER. YESTERDAY MY DAUGHTER BEGAN TO CRY BECAUSE THE 3RD ROW WAS EXTREMELY HOT FROM THE HEATER BEING ON. DO YOU KNOW OF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME. *TR

I WAS THE EXTREMELY PROUD OWNER OF A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. BY FAR THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. ON JANUARY 11, 2014 WHILE ON OUR WAY HOME WITH OUR (2) CHILDREN, WE WERE HEADING DOWN A MOUNTAIN COMING INTO A TURN. IT WAS FOGGY THAT NIGHT AND UNSURE IF THERE WAS ICE ON THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MILES AN HOUR. I DRIVE THIS ROAD EVERY DAY, AS I HAVE FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS. WHEN I STARTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES, THEY LOCKED UP/GRABBED AT WHICH POINT WE STARTED TO GAIN SPEED AND WENT DIRECTLY INTO A GUARD RAIL ULTIMATELY TOTALING MY VEHICLE. I THANK ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD THAT NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT EXTREMELY TERRIFIED AND THANKFUL THAT WE WERE NOT GOING ANY FASTER. THIS WAS THE WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE AS WE STOOD IN...

JUNE OF 2013, ENGINE START PROBLEMS, CRANK AND NO START, OR CRANK AND RUN VERY ROUGH -- SEVER MISFIRES. COMPLAINED TO DEALER, NO CODES, SO THEY SAY NO PROBLEM. PROBLEM BECAME MORE SEVERE, RECORDED VIDEO AND AUDIO OF THE PROBLEM ON MY PHONE. ALSO HAD ISSUE WITH SIRIUS/XM LOOSING ALL STATION PRESETS, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE CONNECTION WITH THE KEY FOB. COULD BE POWER ISSUE. THEY OPTED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH NO DIAGNOSTICS TO CONFIRM THAT THIS WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME, NEXT MORNING IT WOULD CRANK AND NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, EVENTUALLY THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WAS REPLACED. AT LEAST ONE ISSUE WITH THE TIPM HAS BEEN SUBSTANDARD SOLID STATE RELAYS INSIDE THE MODULE. THIS FUNDAMENTAL FLAW HAS SEEMED TO CAUSE A FLOOD OF PROBLEMS ACROSS THE CHRYSLER PRODUCT LINE...

VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING EARLIER IN THE DAY. APROX 3AM NEIGHBORS KNOCKED ON OUR WINDOWS SAYING IT WAS ON FIRE. FIRE DEPT PUT FIRE OUT WHICH STARTED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TIPM WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE STARTED TO DO THE SAME SIMILAR THINGS, HOWEVER, THIS TIME IT LOCKED MY 9 YR. OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH IT RUNNING AND THE KEY FOB WAS IN THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD TO UNBUCKLE AND LET ME IN. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, STALLS IN ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, ALSO WHILE DRIVING IT ACTS LIKE THE ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF THEN IT COMES BACK, AND CONTINUES THIS PROCEDURE A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY COMES BACK TO LIFE. 4LOW HAS NOT PROPERLY WORKED EVER, AND IS A DANGER WHEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, AND YOU NEED IT. THEY SAY THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE 4LOW, EVIDENTIALLY THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE DEALERSHIP, SHEETS, SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PART AGAIN.VEHICLE STARTS AND DIES, STALLS IN ROAD, ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL AND COMES BACK, CONTROLS INSIDE VEHICLE...

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED. THE CAR THEN LOST ALL POWER, ACCELERATION, AND POWER STEERING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILED ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CAR THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE FAILURE(PCM). THE PCM WAS ON BACKORDER BUT PART WAS RECEIVED 1 WEEK LATER. THE PCM HAD TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. DODGE REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ALTERNATOR THAT FAILED DUE TO THE FAULTY PCM. *TR

TIPM FAILURE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START. DODGE REFUSES ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR OF OVER $1200. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY [XXX] HAS BEEN STARTED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRIED TO START VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START AND THE SMELL OF BURN WIRING THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I SEEN THE CHECK ENGINE APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR I THOUGHT MAYBE OXYGEN SENSOR, OR LOOSE WIRE. SO DURING THE HOLIDAYS NOVEMBER THE VEHICLE CEASE TO START AND THE VEHICLE RADIO AND AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUE TO OPERATE OFF AND ON. I CONTACTED A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD WORK ON THE VEHICLE AFTER THE HOLIDAY JANUARY 9 2014 BUT CHANGE IT TO THE 21 OF JANUARY SO I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DODGE CORP AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND I STATED THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS THERE A RECALL. THEY SENT ME TO THE STEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECK OUT. THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE THEM A WHILE TO CHECK IT OUT ONE DAY AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM (TIP MODULE) AND THAT...

2011 DODGE DURANGO... TROUBLE STARTING. WE PURCHASED IT NEW IN MARCH OF 2011. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE JUNE 2013. IT TAKES 8-15 TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. MY CAR ALSO HAS A "FAN SOUND" AFTER IT IS TURNED OFF. IT RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY AND BATTERY DIES EVERYDAY. *TR

VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING AND WILL JUST CONTINUE TO CRANK BUT NOT START. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO START. IT SEEMS TO BE THE TIPM MODULE. *TR

VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING, EITHER BY REMOTE START OR BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS ON THE 2011 MODEL YEAR. ALL HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE FAILURE OF THE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE" TICM. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT EITHER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES REPAIRS HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT THERE WAS EITHER NO FUEL OR IGNITION SPARK. CONTINUED TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE BUT REFUSED TO START. AFTER ABOUT 6 - 8 MINUTES OF TRYING, IT STARTED. THE VEHICLE STARTED EVERY TIME AFTER THAT BUT THE NEXT MORNING IT REFUSED TO START. AGAIN AFTER 6 - 8 MINUTES OF TRYING, IT STARTED AND STARTED EACH TIME FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS REPEATED ITSELF EACH DAY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS THE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE" FAILED. *TR

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO (AT AROUND 50000 MILES), I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. IF I USED THE PUSH BUTTON, IT WOULD JUST KEEP TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. I REMOVED THE BUTTON, THINKING THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BUT IT DIDN'T HELP THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, AND TODAY, IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 TRIES TURNING THE KEY TO FINALLY GET IT TO START. FOR A FEW DAYS I WAS ABLE TO START IT BY REMOTELY STARTING IT, BUT NOW THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I DID TAKE IT TO THE DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WHO HAS PERFORMED ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SINCE ITS PURCHASE. THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO "ACT UP" BUT GUESSED THAT IT IS THE TIPM AND QUOTED ME $1,067 TO REPAIR/REPLACE. I WAS TOLD THE PART ITSELF WAS $800....

VEHICLE HAVING ISSUES CRANKING, TAKES AWHILE TO GET IT STARTED, STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
