TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START ON SEVERAL INSTANCES. MANY TIMES IT TRIED TO STALL WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE SAID THE TIPM WAS FAILING AND INSTALLED A FUEL PUMP OVERLAY WIRING. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND 100S OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS, YET NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE IS NOW A RECALL P54 IN WHICH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT SAY NOT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL NOT ISSUE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS ALREADY MADE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THERE ARE MORE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL, SINCE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO OFF WITHOUT RAIN, WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. WHY IS CHRYSLER REFUSING TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR REPAIRS ALREADY MADE AND ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEMS? *TR

MY DURANGO STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. THE STARTER WOULD CONTINUE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. THIS STARTED AROUND OCTOBER 1ST, 2014. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS THE PROBLEM STARTED GETTING WORSE AND THEN AFTER STARTING IT WOULD SHUT OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT THIS THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. ON 11-3-14 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TIPM. I CALLED MY DODGE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME AT THIS TIME AS THE PARTS DON'T EXIST. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER OR TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER AND HAVE IT FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I COULD SEND THEM THE RECEIPTS TO BE REIMBURSED. I AGAIN CALLED MY DODGE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE TIPM, WHICH WOULD COST OVER $1,000 OUT OF MY POCKET. THAT WAS THE ONLY RECOURSE THEY HAD FOR THE TIME BEING. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS FAIR AT ALL THAT CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY OVER $1,000 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM AND WAIT TO BE REIMBURSED, WHICH WILL TAKE OVER 60 DAYS OR EVEN AT ALL. *TR

MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO STARTED HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS IN SEPT. OF 2014 AND THE PROBLEM BECAME WORST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. ON OCT. 22, 2014 THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOW IN FOR SERVICE. I THE WAS TOLD ABOUT THE TIPM PROBLEM AND THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND NO DATE FOR DELIVERY. EVERY DAY I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FUTURE OF RESOLVING ISSUE. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PUMP RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (FUEL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. *TR

FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. WHEN YOU TURN R BLINK ON THE RIGHT FOG LIGHT BLINKS AND THE BLINKER DOES NOT. *TR

MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON AND STAYING ON. EVENTUALLY, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WOULD TURN ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PLANET DODGE (WORSE SERVICE EVER) TO BE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL RELAY PUMP (TIPM). THE PART IS BEING MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER WHICH THEY ARE PLANNING TO FIX IT BY ADDING A PART BUT NOT REPLACING THE TIPM. IN THE RECALL IT SAYS THE PART REQUIRED IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. UPSET I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO BE TOLD TO EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT WHICH CAN SHUT OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING OR PAY $1,000 TO REPLACE THE TIPM. NOW, WHAT UPSETS ME IS THAT THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL WHETHER YOU DRIVE THE CAR OR NOT AND/OR IF YOU CRASH AND TO BE REIMBURSED CHRYSLER HAS TO CHANGED THE TIPM (WHICH THEY WON'T) AND SINCE THEY WON'T WE WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED. IT IS FRUSTRATING HOW THEY SO NICELY TELL YOU TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT CAN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. DON'T FALL FOR THE "REFUND" TALK, THEY WILL NOT REFUND IT!!!! *TR

WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING DODGE RECALL NOTICE P54/NHTSA 14V-530. TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY. DODGE HAS ADVISED US OF SEVERITY OF THIS RECALL ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT OUR VEHICLE COULD LOSE POWER WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE WARNING. THEY THEN GO ON TO SAY THAT THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALER THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED IT COULD BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! WE BASICALLY HAVE A $40K VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF A POTENTIALLY LETHAL PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE OUR DEALER SAY THEY CANNOT GET PARTS TO FIX. WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY FROM DODGE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS OUR DURANGO HAS HAD ISSUES WITH STARTING. WHEN USING THE PUSH START BUTTON THE ENGINE WILL CRANK OVER MULTIPLE TIMES AND NEVER START. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL START AND OTHER TIMES IT CAN TAKE OVER 20 ATTEMPTS TO START. IN ONE INCIDENT IT TOOK 34 TIME TO START AND EVEN CAUSE BLACK SMOKE TO COME UP FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FROM RESEARCH WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND THE LOCAL DEALER, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR AN ASSESSMENT AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAD TO DO WITH THE TIPM/FUEL RELAY SYSTEM. WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY HADN'T RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATE. FROM MY RESEARCH IT APPEARS THE RECALL NUMBER IS P54. YESTERDAY, ON 10/28/2014 WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD AT 50MPH THE VEHICLE WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT COMPLETELY STALLED AND DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WE ARE BLESSED WE WEREN'T IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR KILLED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND LOCAL DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. NOT A LOANER VEHICLE, NOT REPLACEMENT OF PART AT FULL COST.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND WHEN YOU PUT MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AT STAKE IT BECOMES PERSONAL. THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE WE FEAR FOR OUR LIVES. PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START. ONCE IT STARTED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIPM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,700.

1ST TIME: CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER GETTING GAS, I WAS RVING CAR JUST FINE BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. WENT TO START CAR, DID NOT TURN OVER, TRIED AGAIN PUSH THE START BUTTON AND CAR KEPT TRYING TO TURN OVER WITH NO LUCK, I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN, IT STARTED. DAY TWO, STARTED CAR JUST KEPT TURNING OVER HAD TO PRESS "STOP" TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD START WITH USE OF IGNITION BUTTON, THEN VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WITH OUT WARNING. AT THIS TIME VEHICLE WILL NOT RE-START WITH USE OF IGNITION BUTTON. VEHICLE WOULD JUST ENGAGE STARTER MOTOR AND NOT FIRE ENGINE WITH USE OF IGNITION BUTTON. STARTER WOULD RUN ON UNTIL BUTTON IS PUSHED TO ENGAGE THE OFF POSITION, WITH A NO START CONDITION. AFTER SEVERAL CYCLES OF THE IGNITION BUTTON VEHICLE ENGINE WILL FINALLY START AND STAY RUNNING. PROBLEM IS RECURRING OFTEN.THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE AND THE SAFETY OF ITS OCCUPANTS. THIS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OFF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, POSSIBLE COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE, AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE CROWDED INTERSTATES, OR MODERATE SPEEDS ON SMALL TOWN STREETS. *TR

VEHICLE DOES NOT ALWAYS START THE FIRST TIME BUT STALLS AT RANDOM INTERVALS. WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST STARTED OCCURRING, 2-3 TIMES OF PUSHING THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE WOULD FIRE UP. NOW IT TAKES 20-30 PUSHES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTS. LATELY, I'M THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT. I RECENTLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE CHRYSLER P54 RECALL. "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MAY FAIL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING." I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE A 2011 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 3.6 L ENGINE. MY VEHICLE IS STALLING AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS FROM INSIDE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT USING PUSH BUTTON ON DASH. HOWEVER, VEHICLE WILL START USING REMOTE KEY FOB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. IN FEB 2014 WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD CYLINDER AND GASKET WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. IN OCT 2013 THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,167.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TIPM REPLACED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. *TR

LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A NON-CONGESTED AREA IN A 35 MPH ZONE WHEN MY 2011 DODGE CITADEL LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF THE ROAD AND IT RESTARTED AFTER CRANKING FOR A WHILE. STARTING SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON SOME MORNINGS. THE VEHICLE WILL CRANK AND CRANK THEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS IT WILL FIRE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A 5.7L V8 IF THAT MATTERS. I'M WORRIED I MIGHT LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. JUDGING FROM AN INTERNET SEARCH THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2011/ELECTRICAL/TIPM_GOING_BAD_VEHICLE_WONT_START_OR_HARD_TO_START.SHTML SOUNDS LIKE A TIPM PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE WILL START SOMETIMES AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND THEN SHUT BACK OFF. DEALERSHIP AGREED FAULTY TIPM IS THE CAUSE AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE, SO I HAD TO PAY $1200 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2011 DODGE DURANGO IN OCTOBER OF 2013. THERE HAVE SINCE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS, ALL TOOK SOME TIME TO RESOLVE BECAUSE THERE WERE PART SHORTAGES ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO BE OFFICIALLY TERMED A RECALL BECAUSE CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY ARE STILL "RESEARCHING" THE ISSUE INVOLVES A FAULTY IGNITION WIRING HARNESS. THIS DEFECT PREVENTS THE PROPER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE IGNITION AND FUEL SYSTEMS, WHICH RESULTS IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS PROBLEMS STARTING OR WON'T START ALTOGETHER. MY VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE LATTER CATEGORY AS IT IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR PARTS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN DECLARING IT A RECALL, PRESUMABLY TRYING TO AVOID BAD PUBLICITY. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M STUCK WITH AN USELESS VEHICLE, AND CHRYSLER CORP REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE WHEN I CALLED THEM ON 13 OCT 2014 BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANYTHING IN WRITING STATING THAT THEY KEEP THEIR OWN RECORDS. THE ONLY THING THEY CLAIMED TO BE ABLE TO DO IS PROVIDE A AN EMAIL WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE, FOR WHICH THEY COULD PROVIDE NO ESTIMATE. THEIR CONCLUSION APPEARS TO BE THAT IT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT CAN BE RENDERED INOPERABLE THROUGH THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE OR POOR MANUFACTURING PRACTICES WITHIN 3 YEARS.AS AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER

I BELIEVE THERE IS ACTUALLY 3 INCIDENTS THAT ARE ALL CONNECTED. FIRST WAS AUGUST 2014 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND CAR WAS LOSING POWER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK ALTERNATOR BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. OCT 4, 2014 WE WHERE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR WAS HAVING POWER LOSS AND ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A BAD WATERPUMP. THEY ALSO DID RECALL WORK ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR POWER SYSTEM JUST SHUT DOWN. THEY HAD NO CONTROL OVER ANYTHING AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE. TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTER. I AM SORRY BUT A VEHICLE WITH 31,000 MILES WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND AROUND 10,000 MILES A YEAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TOLD THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART UNTIL MY VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP. IT WOULD JUST NOT START EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TRYING. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A STARTER GOING BAD OR SOMETHING SMALL. NOPE! I LEARNED ABOUT TAFN AND THE NEARLY $1,600 IT COST TO REPLACE IT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE TECHNICIAN I FOUND OUT THAT IT COULD GO COMPLETELY OUT AT ANYTIME, AND IF IT DID, MY VEHICLE WOULD BE DEAD IN THE WATER NO MATTER WHAT I WAS DOING. SCARY THOUGHT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. SO, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE WHEN THIS PART GOES OUT. WHAT'S SAD IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD AND HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. AFTER GETTING OFF THE PHONE WITH THE TECHNICIAN I GOOGLED TAFN AND FOUND ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES AND LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER HAS BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS PART ON VARIOUS MODELS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. HOPEFULLY THEY END UP DOING THE RIGHT THING AND COVERING THIS AND REIMBURSING THOSE OF US WHO HAVE NO CHOICE AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART NOW. TO NOT DO SO IS PUTTING OUR LIVES AND THOSE AROUND US IN JEOPARDY. *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, IT ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO START AND CONTINUES TO TURN OVER THEN SHUTS OFF. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT STARTED UP AS NORMAL. I DROVE IT TO RUN ERRANDS AROUND TOWN. THE FOLLOWING DAY I LOADED UP MY TWO SONS, AGES 3 AND 10 WEEKS IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I LET IT SIT AND THE FOLLOWING DAY IT SHUDDERED AND SHUT OFF TWICE BEFORE JUST ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER WHILE THE RED LIGHTENING BOLT FLASHES ON THE DASH. NOW IT WONT START AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP STATED I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL ISN'T OUT YET. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO PAY FOR A RENTAL. THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE AND STILL REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHAT IF I HAD MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR AND WAS STRANDED SOMEWHERE? THEY JUST DON'T CARE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING UP FRONT AND WAIT TO BE REIMBURSED ONCE THE RECALL COMES OUT. NOW I'M STRANDED WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG. THIS IS CRAP!!

THE HASN'T BEEN AN "INCIDENT" YET. I HAVE A RECALL AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE ONLY RECEIVING 4 PARTS EACH WEEK AND HAVE A WAITING LIST OF OVER 100 PEOPLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! BY THE TIME I AM ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED, I COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY THEN. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WHEN START UP. PUSH BUTTON START RESULTS IN THE STARTER ENGAGING AND CRANKING FOR LONG PERIOD UNTIL SYSTEM SHUTS IT OFF. VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE EVIC AND DASH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, LOW RANGE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ETC. SEEMS OCCURRENCES ARE SPORADIC BUT BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS. YOU CAN TELL THE FUEL PUMP RUNS UNCONTROLLED BECAUSE THERE IS THE DEFINITE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN THE STARTER SHUTS DOWN AND BEFORE THE ENGINE EVER STARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND COULDN'T UNLOCK DOOR WITH KEY, NOTICED A RED LIGHT ON DASH, TRIED TO START MY CAR AND COMPLETELY DEAD. I TOOK BATTERY TO AUTO ZONE THEY CHARGED IT AND CAR STARTED THEN STALLED, DID THIS TWICE AND THEN STAYED RUNNING. I DROVE IT TO WORK, CAME OUT OF WORK STARTED IT AND IT STARTED SHOOK THEN CUT OFF THREE TIMES THEN STARTED. NEXT DAY WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND WOULD ONLY START AND SHUT OFF THEN SMOKE FROM THE HOOD AND A SMELL, I HAVE MADE A PHONE CALL INTO TATE DODGE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY ON GOING PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN DOWN A CAR NOW FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS WAITING TO HEAR SOMETHING. *TR

DURANGO WILL NOT START. JUST PURCHASED IT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. HAVE TO TAKE TO A DODGE DEALER AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT, WHICH THE CLOSEST DEALER IS HOURS FROM ME. APPARENTLY A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED SO I CAN NOT GO GET IT FIXED. VERY UPSET WITH DODGE!! *TR

BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND IT ONLY SEEMS TO GET WORSE. FIRST STARTED OUT ONLY HAVING TO TRY ONCE OR TWICE TO GET IT TO CRANK AND NOW I HAVE TO TRY AROUND THREE TO FOUR TIMES. THIS MORNING WAS THE WORST IT HAS EVER BEEN. AND ONCE IT FINALLY CRANKED I HAD ALL KINDS OF LIGHTS LIT UP. BRAKE, FCW OFF, CHECK ENGINE, BLIND SPOT DETECTORS WERE DISABLED AND STAYED ON AS WELL AS MY TRACTION CONTROL BEING TURNED OFF AND MY ABS LIGHT. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE I REALIZED ON TOP OF ALL THOSE THINGS MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ALSO NOT WORKING AND SAID I WAS AT 0. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY ALARM GO OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR NO REASON. THIS ISSUE IS REALLY STARTING TO GET WORSE AND WORSE AND I FEAR I WILL END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE OR WORSE END UP IN A WRECK DUE TO MY CAR SHUTTING OFF, AND IF I GET IN A WRECK I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY! VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE/CHRYSLER. I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO REPLACE THESE PARTS WHEN I WAS SOLD A FAULTY CAR FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY NEED TO GET THIS RECALL GOING AND HAVE PLENTY OF THESE ITEMS IN STOCK SO EVERYONE WON'T HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS TO HAVE THIS REPLACED! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! *TR

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 PAID $1,000 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

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 JUST ME THE OTHER DAY. WHAT ANGERS ME EVEN MORE IS THAT I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE "RECALL" IS NOT IN EFFECT AND THE DEALER WHO SERVICES MY CAR HAS NOT EVEN HEARD OF THE RECALL. THEY DID CALL ME BACK AND SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TILL OCT 24TH, AND EVEN THEN THE PARTS COULD BE ON BACK ORDER FOR MONTHS. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

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 THAT THE TRUCK WOULD STRUGGLE TO START STILL AND ABOUT 30SECONDS LATER WOULD JUST LOSE ALL POWER AGAIN. SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE RELAY TO FUEL PUMP. BUT I THINK IT'S THE TIPM THAT IS BAD. *TR

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 WORK AND IT STARTED FINE. UPON LEAVING WORK THE CAR FAILED TO START ON THREE ATTEMPTS, BUT EVENTUALLY STARTED. WHEN I STOPPED 15 MINUTES LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I PLACED ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND I HIT THE ACCELERATOR AS I STARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED. I DROVE HOME AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT AGAIN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT FIRED UP, BUT BEGAN SHAKING REALLY HARD SIDE TO SIDE. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE SHAKING WAS WORSE. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND THE CAR BEGAN SPUTTERING AND LURCHED FORWARD AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO START IT A FEW MINUTES LATER AND DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 9/22/14 AND TH

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 AND READ MANY EXPERIENCES BY OTHER 2011 DURANGO OWNERS. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE UPCOMING RECALL P54 TO FIX THE FUEL RELAY. BUT NOW THAT PROBLEM IS FIXED AND THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM CREATED. *TR
