2011 DODGE DURANGO Engine Problems

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...

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

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...

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.

THE PAST 2 MONTHS, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVEN ME PROBLEMS STARTING ENGINE- I TURN KEY TO START AND IT JUST CRANKS! IN OCTOBER, I BROUGHT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE"- THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT RANDOMLY STARTS WHEN IT WANTS! THEN THE PAST WEEK IT GOT REALLY BAD- NOT STARTING AT ALL! BLACK FRIDAY LEFT TO SHOP EARLY IN MORNING- WOULDN'T START, SO TOOK HUSBAND'S TRUCK- GOT BACK AT NOON- TRIED AGAIN CAR STARTED- SO ME AND MY LITTLE GIRL WENT INTO TOWN- STOP AT TRAFFIC RED LIGHT- THEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN- PRESSED GAS TO GO AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!!! MY CAR RANDOMLY JUST TURNED OFF AT LIGHT! AS CARS HONKED FOR ME TO GO I HURRIED AND PUT CAR IN PARK AND PRAYED FOR IT TO CRANK- IT DID- AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP- AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS AN SOFTWARE UPDATE!...

INCIDENT DATE START: 11/02/2013. 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 TO 8 MINUTES OF TRYING IT STARTED. THE VEHICLE STARTED EVERY TIME AFTER THAT BUT THE NEXT MORNING IT REFUSED TO START. AGAIN AFTER 6 TO 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

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR COULD NOT CRANK BECAUSE OF A BAD TIPM MODULE. WELL THAT WAS A MONTH AGO, AS I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD BE HERE OCTOBER 20TH. WELL THAT DATE CAME AND PASSED AND NOW I AM TOLD THE PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 19TH. AS I AM A CUSTOMER WHO IS SUPPORTED DODGE I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS AND WILL KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN I PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A NATIONAL RECALL BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS THAT ARE AWAITING THIS PARTICULAR PART. WE NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE AS MY CAR WILL SIT FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, IT CRANKS FOR A LONG TIME, THEN NEEDS TO BE RESTARTED 5 TIMES PLUS BEFORE IT STARTS, OCCASIONALLY STALLING OUT, BEFORE FINALLY STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 9/18/13. AT TIMES IT LEAVES SOMETHING RUNNING IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE BY THE FUEL PUMP, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER ON 9/23/13 AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), WHICH IS ON A RESTRICTED BACKORDER WITH NO ETA. WE WERE TOLD TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PART COMES IN. MY WIFE IS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE, WHICH IS UNRELIABLE. TO MAKE IT WORSE THE VEHICLE STALLED GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACKSEAT, AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT, LUCKILY...

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE DURANGO THAT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP SINCE SEPT 20TH. THE FUEL PUMPS FAILED BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH...DEALERSHIPS NATIONWIDE ARE RESTRICTED TO ORDERING ONE MODULE PER WEEK. I BELIEVE THIS ITEM SHOULD BE ON RECALL BECAUSE APPARENTLY OTHERS ARE WAITING FOR THIS PART...SOME OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS. I NEED MY VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE/CORPORATE WHO HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND EVEN PROMISING ME A RENTAL CAR...BUT NOT MAKING GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE. I'M TO THE POINT WHERE I'M CALLING THEM DAILY AND GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE. I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER...BUT THE CASE MANAGER NEVER CALLED ME. DODGE DOESN'T HAVE THE COURTESY OF CALLING ME BACK TO LET ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS...

2011 DODGE DURANGO BEGAN TO NOT START. JUST AS OTHERS.. HAD TO TRY STARTING AND WOULD FINALLY TURN OVER. AFTER A VISIT TO DEALER, WHERE NO DIAGNOSIS CODES SHOWED UP..AND NO WARNING SYSTEM LIGHTS WERE ON, WE TOOK HOME. CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR NEXT WEEK, EVEN STALLED WHILE ON ROAD WHILE GOING 50 MPH, AND AT A STOPLIGHT. BIG SAFETY ISSUE HERE AS COULD HAVE GOT REARENDED W/A 3YR IN CAR. ENOUGH...BACK TO DODGE DEALER, TOWED THIS TIME CAUSE WOULDN'T START AT ALL. IT HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS PRESENTLY. HAVE BEGUN TO FIGHT CHRYSLER/DODGE AS IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH OVER 3/36000 AS THE PART TIPM CONTROLS THE ITEMS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NATIONWIDE RECALL AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO DODGES/JEEP/ETC AND OBVIOUSLY BY SOCIAL MEDIA VIEWING IT CONTINUES. NOT ONLY A FACTORY OR PART DEFECT OBVIOUSLY BUT...

ENGINE WOULD NOT START WITH MULTIPLE IGNITION ATTEMPTS. ENGINE WOULD SPORADICALLY START AND BEGIN TO IDLE, WITHIN SECONDS IDLE RPM WOULD PROGRESSIVELY DECREASE INCITING KNOCKING NOISES AND SEVERE SHAKING, ULTIMATELY CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUTOFF.

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, FCW LIGHT COMES ON, RPM'S RUN HIGH AND CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. MUST RIDE THE BRAKE AND BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN THAT HAPPENS AS CAR TRIES TO JUMP/ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. WORRY THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT. CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF REPAIR SHOP ON THREE OCCASIONS AND PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX. HAVE CONSULTED CORPORATE AND PUT THE WORD OUT TO OTHER DEALERS BUT TO NO AVAIL. JUST GOT CAR BACK AGAIN AFTER DEALER HAVING FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND PROBLEM STARTED UP AGAIN. PLAN ON WRITING TO MANUFACTURER AND REPORTING CAR UNDER LEMON LAW. *TR
