2012 DODGE DURANGO Visibilitywiper Problems

Has major issues …

My power locks and windshield wiper fluid pump stopped working. I took the vehicle to the nearest dealership over an hour away. After many days and an expensive car rental, the TIPM needed replacing. After researching this issue, it is DIRECTLY correlated to a dangerous issue that resulted in a lawsuit in 2015. Additionally, the recall associated with the TIPM is not fixable at this point because Dodge doesn't have parts. So, the TIPM I was given in this repair is dangerous. This was a $1067 repair for a vehicle that has 80k miles.

I WAS DRIVING MY DURANGO AND MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT KEPT BEEPING THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW I'M HEARING A THUMP UNDER THE CAR ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY I ALSO TRIED DRIVING UP TO 70 MPH AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD THIS HEAVY SHAKE I WAS TERRIFIED CAN YOU HELP ME FIX MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO .

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...

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?
