2012 DODGE DURANGO Fuelpropulsion System Problems

ENGINE STALLED AND CAR SHUT OFF. ONCE FROM A STOP WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ANOTHER TIME WHILE TRYING TO STOP. IN BOTH INSTANCES AN ACCIDENT WAS NEARLY AVOIDED. MY WIFE ON 9/13 WAS TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DIED AND SHE WAS ALMOST T-BONED. ON 9/14 I ALMOST REAR ENDED A CAR AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP AND LOST ALL POWER. WIPERS WILL COME ON RANDOMLY ON DRY, SUNNY DAYS (WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION). CAR JERKS FORWARD INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING (USING REMOTE START OR WHILE IN THE CAR). OCCASIONALLY THE CAR CONTINUES TO TURN OVER BUT NEVER ACTUALLY STARTS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER 7-8 TIMES AND THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THESE PROBLEMS. NO ERROR CODES RECORDED. NEVER ABLE TO BE REPRODUCED WHEN AT THE DEALER. CONTACTED ANOTHER DODGE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE ISSUES EITHER. TOOK TO AN INDEPENDENT...

CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START, OR STARTS AND QUICKLY SHUTS OFF (SOMETIMES IN DRIVE OR REVERSE). IF YOU PUSH START BUTTON IT TRIES TO "TURN OVER" REVVING BUT NEVER STARTING. HAS DONE INTERMITTENTLY BUT GOTTEN REALLY BAD IN MAY 2016 FROM EVERY OTHER DAY TO SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. DEALER "CAN'T FIND" PROBLEM. DATE BELOW FIRST DATE DEALER ACTUALLY WROTE DOWN PROBLEM. HAVE ALL SERVICE FORMS AND DOCUMENTS. BELIEVE IT IS THE TIPM MODULE. CAR ALARM HAS GONE OFF WITH DOOR LOCK PROBLEMS AFTER STARTER ISSUE AS WELL. DEALER AGAIN "CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM" AND HAS DENIED KNOWING ABOUT ONGOING LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ACTUALLY LIED TO US ABOUT WARRANTY INFORMATION NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF PROBLEM ON CELL PHONE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN PARK AND IN DRIVE/REVERSE AS WE WERE JUST STARTING TO DRIVE/BACK UP WHEN IT QUIT RUNNING. IT GOES "DEAD" WITHOUT A SOUND BUT...

MY DURANGO HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO START IT SINCE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 7 TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WON'T START ON MANY OCCASIONS. I WILL ALSO START AND THEN SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND EVEN AFTER GETTING THE R09 FUEL PUMP RELAY FIX I STILL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH IT APPEARS IT IS THE ACTUAL TIPM THAT HAS GONE BAD AND WILL COST ME AROUND 1500$ IT IS A DISGRACE THAT DODGE WILL NOT JUST RECALL THE BAD TIPM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS ME AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU ALL WILL LOOK INTO THIS MORE CONSIDERING HOW DANGEROUS IT IS ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND YOUR VEHICLE JUST SHUTS DOWN...

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TEST RAN. DETECTOR-EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM ISSUE. DETECTOR VALVE FAULTY. LEAK COMING FROM GAS CAP AND ESIM CORRECTION. REPLACED ESIM SEAL AND GAS CAP. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR ISSUE. ANOTHER RECALL WARRANTED?

THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP PLAZA DODGE INVERNESS FLORIDA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. RECALLED FOR A FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCH WHICH COULD MALFUNCTION CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO "STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING". THEY TELL ME IT COULD "EASILY BE 6 MONTHS BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS". THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THIS IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD! RECALL WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE 2015. THAT IS TOO LONG FOR THIS TO WAIT.

THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING IT IS NOT GETTING GAS UNABLE TO TURN ON CAR. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR'S ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE WITH NO DIFFICULTY. DAYS LATER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE TURNED NORMALLY BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE FUEL IS NOT REACHING THE ENGINE. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A FLOODED ENGINE. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE) SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE.

08-10-15 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE, COWBOY CHRYSLER 409-385-3796 ABOUT THE NOTICE I RECEIVED ABOUT TWO SAFETY RECALLS R09 FUEL PUMP RELAY AND P36 SUN VISOR WIRING. I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HAD GOTTEN IN 15 OF THE PARTS AND USED ALL 15 TO REPAIR VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE PUT ON A LIST AND CALLED WHEN MORE PARTS CAME IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. 08-21-15 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD GOTTEN IN 18 OF THE PARTS AND I AM THIRD ON THE LIST TO BE CALLED WHEN MORE PARTS COME IN. CAN YOU HELP ME GET THE NECESSARY REPAIR PARTS DELIVERED TO THIS DEALERSHIP?

I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE R09 ORIGINALLY IN MID MARCH 2015. I CALLED MICHIGAN CITY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP 219-872-8600 700 E. US 20, MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360 TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND PUT ME ON A "PAPER" CALL LIST. TODAY AUGUST 13, 2015 I RECEIVED MY SECOND RECALL NOTICE ON R09. I CALLED MICHIGAN CITY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP 219-872-8600 700 E. US 20, MICHIGAN CITY, IN 46360 AGAIN TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AND RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER AS IN MARCH. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS NOW FROM THE ORIGINAL NOTICE AND IT IS CLEAR THIS DEALERSHIP HAS NO INTENTION OF MAKING THE RECALL REPAIRS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.

THE VEHICLE FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND CHRYSLER WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE. THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP IN REVERSE OR ROLL AND NOT GO IN GEAR. LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. THE MOTOR JUST CONTINUES TRYING TO TURN OVER. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND TRY TO START A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WILL RUN. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. I STARTED IT AFTER PUTTING GAS IN AT A GAS STATION AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DIED. I STARTED IT AND STARTED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DIED AND CONTINUED ROLLING. IT ALSO DIED WHEN MY WIFE WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY SONS SCHOOL. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE,...

THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO BE BRUSHED OFF BY SAYING THE RECALL PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET. HOWEVER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH ALL KIDS INSIDE, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35-45 MILES PER HOUR. NOW THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START.

OUR DODGE DURANGO 2012 WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2015 FROM RICK KEEFER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM IN YULEE, FLORIDA. TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT LIGHTS UP AND THE ENGINE IS SPUTTERING. RETURNED THE CAR TO DEALER WHOM REPAIRED VEHICLE AND SAID IT WAS THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND REPLACED. AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH. RETURNED THE CAR TO DEALER WHOM REPAIRED AND SAID THEY REPLACED THE CONVERTER. SOON AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FOUND FUEL CAP 'POPPED OFF' A FEW TIMES, ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT THEN ON AGAIN. RETURNED TO DEALER WHOM REPLACED FUEL CAP. THERE WAS ALSO AN OIL LEAK FIXED. AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AND THE ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH. SMOKE WOULD POUR OUT THE TAILPIPE, ENGINE SPUTTERING, DROVE BACK FROM MOUNTAINS. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND OXYGEN SENSOR (AGAIN). AND AGAIN,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNTIL AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED 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 FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT CRANKS OVER FINE BUT WILL NOT FIRE. I HAVE TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, AND THEN IT STARTS FINE WHEN I RETRY IT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ( R09 / NHTSA 14V-115 ) BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I AM WORRIED THAT I MAY EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FUEL RELAY WAS RECALLED ON MY CAR (NHTSA # 15V-115); I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE INTERNAL FUEL RELAY PUMP THAT FAILED. THIS IS PART OF THE TIPM. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS PART OF THE RECALL. PRESTIGE DODGE STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PART, AS THE SPECIFIC RECALLED PART (PART OF THE TIPM) FAILED BUT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE (CASE NUMBER 27223921) AND WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD EITHER PAY FOR FULL REPAIR (AS THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE TIPM REPLACEMENT) OR "DRIVE WITH A FAULTY PART"--THOSE LAST WERE THE DODGE REP "KATELYN'S" EXACT WORDS. I WOULD NOT NEED THE NEW TIPM UNLESS THE FUEL PUMP (WHICH WAS RECALLED) FAILED--I WAS WILLING TO TAKE ONLY THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP, BUT DODGE REFUSES...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RECEIVING FUEL FROM THE RELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V115000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO JERK WHILE ON THE FREEWAY/SURFACE STREETS. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ONCE DUE TO THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN POWER AND SPEED. SERVICE PEOPLE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND WERE NO HELP. IT HAS REPEATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, WE WERE ON A ROAD TRIP 2200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME...LIMITED OPTIONS. EACH TIME WE HAD TO STOP AND REST BY TURNING OFF ENGINE, WAITING/OR RESTARTING IN NEUTRAL. TRULY A DANGER/SAFETY ISSUE AND MAJOR INCONVENIENCE.

FOR THE PAST WEEK OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON SOME TIMES THE ENGINE IS GOING BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON. TODAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING 65-70 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO WARNING HE WAS ON THE FAST LANE SO HE HAD TO SAFELY GO TO THE RIGHT LANE TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOST ANYMORE SPEED AND CAUSE AN MAJOR ACCIDENT. HE TRIED TURNING IT ON AND DID WITH TROUBLE AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE FREEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE STATING IT WILL TAKE 1- 12 MONTHS TO GET THE PART FOR THE RECALL FOR A PERMANENT FIX OR WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A TEMP. FIX. WHAT CAN WE DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V635000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL) AND 14V115000 (EQUIPMENT, TIRES); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

R09/NHTSA 14V-115 PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPT - NOTICE STATES THAT FUEL PUMP COULD FAIL AND CAR WILL STALL. I DRIVE KIDS AROUND ALL DAY AND DO NOT NEED THE ADDED STRESS OF WONDERING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO FAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ITS RIDICULOUS TO EXPECT PEOPLE TO WAIT 6 MONTHS TO GET A VEHICLE FIXED. THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR PARTS FAILING - IN MY OPINION THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TOWARD THE QUALITY OF VEHICLE DODGE PROVIDES, NOT TO MENTION THE POOR SERVICE OF NOT GETTING THE RIGHT PARTS OUT TO FIX A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. SERIOUSLY....WHY SEND OUT NOTICES IF THERE ARE NO PLANS TO FIX AN ISSUE FOR 6 MONTHS. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE, THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST - I'VE OWNED CHEVROLET ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS MANY PROBLEMS. *TR

DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. MADE 10 MINUTE STOP. CAME OUT AND CAR WOULD NOT FIRE. CRANKED FOR 20 SECONDS TWICE AND NOTHING. WAITED 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. WENT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED. CRANKED AGAIN, NOTHING. THEN STARTED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

VEHICLE FAILS TO START PROPERLY. UPON STARTING, VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN TURNOVER MODE. VEHICLE STARTS AND SHUTS OFF WITHIN SECONDS. VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO START. VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECENT RECALL OF FUEL PUMP RELAY. *TR

WHEN TRY TO START CAR. THE STARTER HUNG UP AND WOULDN'T START. STARTER KEPT TURNING OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. LIKE VEHICLE WAS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL TO ENGINE. HAS DONE THIS 7 TIMES SINCE DEC 2014. *TR

I INITIALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED ON 11/4/14 FOR FAILURE TO START & STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR REVERSE. I TALKED WITH AN ATTENDANT WHO SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS & IT WOULD BE $300+ TO INVESTIGATE, I OPTED FOR A LOWER COST OPTION, A REPLACEMENT START BUTTON ($20). I SUSPECT NOW, SINCE THEY WERE BUSY & I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT OTHER RECALL FIXES (COST TO THEM) THIS WAS A WAY TO GET ME OUT OF THE SHOP QUICKLY. SKIP FORWARD A FEW WEEKS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. FROM 12/2/14-1/9/14, I LEFT MULTIPLE MESSAGES FOR SERVICE TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. MY MESSAGES WERE NEVER RETURNED. THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, & BY CHRISTMAS THE CAR FAILED TO START ALL TOGETHER. TO CONTINUE WITH OUR FAMILY PLANS FOR VACATION, WE HAD TO RENT A CAR ($480); THERE WERE ALSO A FEW DAYS JUST AFTER THE NEW...

MOST TIMES WHEN I GO TO START THE TRUCK IT WILL NOT START. IF IT DOES START IT DIES IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I TRY TO START IT AGAIN, THE STARTER SEEMS TO GET STUCK, SO I TURN THE KEY OFF AND HAVE TO TRY IT AGAIN. EVENTUALLY IT WILL START AND RUN NORMAL. JUST THIS MORNING, I WENT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAD NO POWER. ONCE I HOOKED UP THE JUMPER CABLES I COULD HEAR A HUMMING NOISE, WHICH I ASSUME WOULD BE THE FUEL PUMP, AS I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT IT NOT TURNING OFF DUE TO THE TIPM. AFTER I STARTED IT AND LET IT RUN FOR A WHILE I SHUT IT OFF AND COULD STILL HERE THE FUEL PUMP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE SO THAT MY BATTERY WILL NOT DIE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART. I JUST GOT THIS TRUCK...

AT ABOUT 54K/56K MILES THE AIRBAG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF. WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED THEY DID NOT REPORT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF AIR IS SYSTEM BUT THAT WAS COVERED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEN THE CAR WOULD MAKE SUDDEN JUMPS FOR NO REASON, AIRBAG AND ENGINE AND BRAKELIGHTS REPEADEDLY CAME ON AND OFF. WHILE ATTENDING MY NEPHEW FUNERAL I GOT IT CHECKED SINCE I WOULD BE ON THE ROAD FOR NO LESS THAN 4 HRS. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A BREAK RECALL ONCE I GOT THAT FIXED (16 DEC) THE DASH WAS FLASHING EVERYTHING AIRBAGS, BRAKES, ENGINE. ONCE I PARKED THE CAR THE NEST DAY IT WOULD NOT COME ON. A JUMP DID NOT WORK. HAD IT TOWED AND TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM FOR A CAR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS OLD AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS ONLY PAYING FOR...

DROVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WASN'T REPLACED THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I FIND THIS VERY ODD THAT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN. THEN DOING AN INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THIS SAME MODULE WAS A RECALLED ITEM IN THE 2011 VERSION OF MY VEHICLE. WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2012 YEAR MODEL DURANGO. *TR

DODGE HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TIPM SYSTEM FOR THE 2011 DODGE DURANGO'S. ALTHOUGH I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THEY ARE STATING THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL AS IT IS ONLY FOR 2011 DURANGO'S. MY SUV IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT DODGE IS REFUSING TO FIX IT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

THE CAR HESITATES TO TURN ON AND THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED, THE FUEL PUMP REMAINS RUNNING WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

IN MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WHICH IS AFFECTING THE WAY THE ENGINE STARTS AND GETS FUEL TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR COST IS $1213.71. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES REGARDING THIS ISSUE IN THE CHRYSLER LINE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWAITING A TRAGEDY TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE THEY DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE CUSTOMER AND FIX THE PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED. I UNDERSTAND THAT A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO GO ON RECORD IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING DETRIMENTAL HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THIS RECOGNIZED AND PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED PART FAILURE. *TR

ON OCT 3, 2014, THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED WITH MY DODGE DURANGO. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF THE VEHICLE "TURNING OVER" FOR IT TO ACTUALLY START. THEN ON OCT 10, MY VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THEN IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. I HAD MY CODES AND BATTERY TESTED, NO ISSUES WERE DETECTED. THIS PROBLEM STARTING THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING ON SEVERAL TIMES A DAY SINCE OCT 3. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN A DEAD END. I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN GETTING THE RUNAROUND. A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED LONG BEFORE NOW AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS WHO HAVE OR ARE CURRENTLY HAVING THESE ISSUES. *TR

INITIALLY IN EARLY JULY, 2014 MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO DEVELOPED A COMPUTER FAILURE CAUSING THE BATTERY TO EVENTUALLY DRAIN, LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR ACCELERATE. REPAIR WAS MADE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER, MANFREDI DODGE, STATEN ISLAND N.Y , AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE BATTERY REPAIRED AND THE COMPUTER REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILURE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER AND THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPORTED FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE TIPM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. CONFERRAL WITH THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE TIPM SENSOR BE REPLACED RATHER THAN REPAIRED TO ASSURE LONGEVITY OF THE REPAIR AND OVERALL SATISFACTION. VEHICLE IS A LEMON! *TR

MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO WOULD NOT START, THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER TEST I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIPM HAD AN OPEN CIRCUIT. *TR

VEHICLE STARTS THEN STALLS OUT, OR JUST CRANKS AND CRANKS, AND WON'T START. HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AT STOP LIGHTS AFTER SHORT DRIVE. WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET STARTED TO DRIVE TO DEALER, WAS TOLD I COULD EITHER REPLACE THE TIPM FOR OVER $1000, OR DO A FUEL RELAY BYPASS TO THE EXISTING TIPM FOR A LITTLE OVER $550. SAME EXACT PROBLEM ALL THE RECALLED DURANGO/GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE, YET THE 2012'S HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED? WHY? VEHICLE LEFT US STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES IN FL HEAT WITH INFANT IN CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE ISSUE BEGAN AS I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I INFORMED THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING. SINCE THEN THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC THAT DARCARS IS INFORMING THERE IS NOT ISSUE BUT NO REPLACEMENT OR SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN PRESENTED. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PUSH START AROUND 8/1. WHEN TRYING TO START THE TRUCK IT WILL NOT TURN OVER AND EVENTUALLY WILL STALL OUT COMPLETELY. SO I ATTEMPTED TO REMOTE START WHICH WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. SOON IT BEGAN TO CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN STARTING THE CAR WITH THE KEY. UNTIL 9/22, ON THAT MORNING MY SON STATED HE HEARD A HISSING SOUND FROM THE REAR DRIVER TIRE. I ALSO HEARD THIS SOUND AT APPROXIMATELY 2:15 PM. WHICH PROMPTED ME TO CALL DARCARS SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE...

DURANGO CRANKS AND DOESN'T TURN OVER OR STARTS AND THEN STALLS AFTER SHORT DISTANCE. LOCAL DEALER HAS REPAIRED FUEL PUMP. RECALL PRESENTLY ONLY INCLUDES 2011'S AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL EFFECTED YEARS. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE WAY TO THE GARAGE AS THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING ON 4 OR 5 OCCASIONS OVER THE PREVIOUS DAYS. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, NO GAS NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE AND EVENTUALLY IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP ON 9-8-2014 AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE RELAY FROM THE TIPM TO THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2011 MODELS FOR THIS SAME THING; BUT MY SUV IS A 2012 MODEL. I WANTED TO FILE THE COMPLAINT AS THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CLEARLY IT IS HAPPENING IN MODELS OTHER THAN THE 2011. THE REPAIRS WERE ALMOST $300.00 FOR A PROBLEM THAT IT SEEMS LIKE OTHER MODELS ARE HAVING JUST AS THE 2011 DURANGOS. *TR

SITTING IDLE ON A DRIVEWAY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND SMELL. PUNCHED GAS THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME HUGE WHITE BLUE CLOUD OF SMOKE PUSHED OUT. SMELL OF BURNING METAL CAME WITH CLOUD OF SMOKE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AT FIRST COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE AND STARTING IT UP THEY TOO GOT THE SMOKE, AND NOT JUST FROM MINE BUT FROM ANOTHER ON THE LOT. THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS THE OIL PAN DESIGN IS FAULTY AND THAT MY VEHICLE WILL SMOKE WHEN ON AN INCLINE, DRIVEWAY, HILL, STUCK IN TRAFFIC AT A SLOPE. THE EMISSIONS ARE HORRENDOUS AND I AM SHOCKED THAT A 57 HEMI ENGINE WOULD DO THIS. SHOCKED MORE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET FIXED IT. *JS
