2012 Dodge Durango complaints

FAILURE OF TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) ON 2012 DODGE DURANGO. STARTED WITH HARD STARTING (LONG TIME TO START ENGINE), THEN LED TO VEHICLE STARTING AND IMMEDIATELY SHUTTING OFF. FINALLY, WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE STALLED ON ME WHILE I WAS PULLING ONTO A 6 LANE ROADWAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHING. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS, YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF ALL POWER FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND (FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD) AIRBAGS. CHRYSLER HAS DONE A RECALL ON THE 2011 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, BUT NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THE 2012 MODELS AS WELL. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WEREN'T SURPRISED WHEN THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE TIPM, EXPLAINING TO ME THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. OF COURSE, THIS ALL HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, COSTING ME JUST OVER $1100.00 OUT OF POCKET. *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

RIGHT TURNING SIGNAL TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND IS HARD TO TURN OFF, COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY HAVING A CAR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF US BELIEVING WE ARE TURNING. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. *TR

I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START IT WOULD JUST KEEP TURNING OVER BUT NEVER CRANK EVENTUALLY STOPPING. I THEN WOULD ATTEMPT TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER THEN CRANK SHAKE VERY BADLY THEN SHUT OFF. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT IT WOULD FINALLY START AND STAY RUNNING. WHILE RUNNING OR IDLING ENGINE WOULD RUN ROUGH VIBRATING/SHAKING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT 2' WEEKS. I COULD REMOTE START IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM BUT WHEN IT CAME TO PUSH TO START IT ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM. I CALLED TO SET UP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AND IT WAS TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN I FINALLY HAD AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR THE APPOINTMENT THE CAR HAD NOT DID THIS IN 3-4 DAYS. HASN'T DONE IT SINCE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IT WAS. NOTHING WAS DONE. 4 DAYS AFTER THE APPOINTMENT AND HAVING 2 RECALLS FIXED ( ONE OF WHICH WAS BRAKE BOOSTER THAT THEY HAD ME HOLDING ON FOR 3 MONTHS ONLY DID THEY FIX IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE WATER PUMP,AND PULLEY. I WAS TOLD THE SAME ONLY 2-3 PARTS WERE COMING IN EACH MONTH. IF THERE IS A RECALL GET IT FIXED IN A TIMELY FASHION NOT ON YOUR OWN TIME SEE ARE PEOPLES LIVES!)AND SOME COMPUTER SYSTEMS REPROGRAMMED AND WATER PUMP AND IDLER PULLEY WERE REPLACED THE CEL CAME ON IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED THE CODE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. A DAY LATER BEFORE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD REOPENED THE LIGHT WENT

CAR BATTERY IS DEAD, BATTERY IS FINE, POSSIBLE FAULTY TIPM.L *TR

ON OCT 7, 2014, MY BROTHER WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS RAINING THAT EVENING AND A DEER JUMPED OUT INFRONT OF HIM. NATURAL REACTION, HE SWERVED TO MISS THE DEER. THE VEHICLE SLID ON THE WET ROADS WHEN HE SWERVED, CAUSING HIM TO GO HEAD ON INTO A STONE "MOUNTAINSIDE" WALL. HE WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH UPON IMPACT. NOT ONE OF THE 9 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ACCIDENT WAS SO BAD, IT CAUSED THE FLOORBOARD WHERE THE GAS AND BRAKE ARE TO "BUCKLE", THE AXLE WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OUT, AND THE DRIVERS WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF, YET NOT ONE OF THE 9 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY BROTHER ENDED UP WITH CUTS ON HIS HEAD AND FACE, HE HAD A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND THERE IS A "LUMP" ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK THAT THE HOSPITAL ISN'T SURE IF IT IS A BONE THAT IS "OUT OF PLACE" OR JUST A LUMP THAT FORMED FROM BEING HIT. HE IS NOT PERMITTED TO WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS. HE WAS SLURRING WORDS AND NOT PROPERLY TALKING FOR 4 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE HOSPITAL SAID IT WAS FROM HOW HARD HE HIT HIS HEAD. EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING INSURANCE ADJUSTOR SAID IT IS A WONDER HE WASN'T KILLED, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. YET, A FRIEND OF OURS ACCIDENTALLY "TAPPED" A GUARDPOST WHILE PARKING AND ALL HIS AIRBAGS IN HIS DURANGO DEPLOYED. I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE GOING SLOW FOR DURANGO AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY?? HOW CAN THEY DEPLOY IN ONE THAT BARELY TAPS A PARKING POST, BUT A 60MPH CRASH, NOT ONE DEPLOYS? *TR

STARTER WON'T ENGAGE AFTER 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE KEY, ENGINE STARTED. TIPM HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOOK CAR TO BE SERVICED AT DODGE DEALER 2 TWO TIMES REPORTING THAT CAR WILL ONLY START AFTER 4 OR 5 ATTEMPTS. AFTER 36K MILES WARRANTY EXPIRED TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED TIPM, CAR IS RUNNING FINE NOW. *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 LETTER TO DARCAR REGARDING MY DODGE DURANGO:I MUST SAY EVEN WITH ALL THE ISSUES BEING REPORTED ,YOUR SHOP AND TECHNICIANS ARE COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO CARS. I INFORMED THEM WHEN MY CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER WAS GONE THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE TIPM ISSUE. I KEEP BEING FORCE FED THAT IT'S JUST THE BATTERY NO CRANK NO START. EVEN WHEN RECOMMENDATION PRESENT IT'S A POSSIBLE TIPM ISSUE AND I HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RAN I GET SOME BS ABOUT ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE BECAUSE TIPM IS SEPARATE. SO I TOLD THEM TO FIX THE BATTERY ISSUE JUST TO TRY AND PROVE A POINT A $600 POINT THAT IS. NOT ONLY WHEN I GET THE CAR DOES IT TAKE [XXX] NEAR 30 MINUTE TO TRY AND GET IT TO THE FRONT I SEE YOUR TECHNICIANS JUMPING MY CAR. I THOUGH IT WAS FIXED? I PAID FOR IT TO BE FIXED. SO I TRY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE IT SHUTS DOWN. OH WELL WE GOING TO PUT ANOTHER BATTERY IN. COME GET THE CAR GET IT HOME TO FIND OUT THIS MORNING SAME [XXX] PROBLEM. YOUR SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND IF ANY VEHICLE HAS A DARCAR CHRYSLER DODGE AFFILIATED WITH IT I WON'T BUY AND RECOMMEND THAT NO ONE ELSE DOES. BY THE WAY I ASKED IF IT COULD MAKE IT TO NC FOR MY AUNTS FUNERAL WITH MY 5 CHILDREN AND WIFE. SURE IT SHOULD BE FINE AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. OVERNIGHT MUST BE A LONG ASS PERIOD OF TIME FOR YOUR SERVICE THANK YOU I WILL MISS MY AUNTS FUNERAL. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

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. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 45 PER HOUR, WHEN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO JUST SHUT OFF IN STAGES, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT HOWEVER IT DID NOT WANT TO START FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE PUSH BUTTON, IT WOULD NOT START.ALSO IT HAS SINCE BEEN TURNING OVER, BUT NOT STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AND HAS DONE THIS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS INCLUDING WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING, AND AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN. *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 A VANITY LIGHT RECALL WAS JUST MAILED TO US. SO I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. BEFORE I LEFT WORK AT 5:30 I ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND COULD NOT WITHOUT THE KEY BEING INSERTED TO THE DOOR. THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. I STARTED REALIZING I WAS HAVING THE SAME NIGHTMARE AS OTHERS TIPM. THE CAR IS NOW BEING WORKED ON BUT THEY ARE CALLING THE ISSUE EVERYTHING BUT WHAT IT IS SO THAT I PURCHASE A FULL PUMP RELAY, THROTTLE BOX, AND BATTERY. COSTING ME 1400 PLUS 140 FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC PLEASE ATTACH TO P54 RECALL MULTIPLE STALLS AND NON FUNCTIONING VEHICLE. *TR

CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN ONCE STARTED, WAS SPUTTERING, THEN CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TO DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE HAD A FAULTY TIPM. *TR

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

THIS CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS START AND CAN STALL AT ANY TIME. CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THE 2011 MODELS AS OF 2 DAYS AGO FOR A FAULTY TIPM, MY 2012 HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME PART AND I AM HAVING TO PAY $1400 TO REPLACE IT. *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

TWICE IN EARLY FEBRUARY, 2014, THE ENGINE (V-6) STOPPED RUNNING AND THE CEL POPPED UP. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CRUISING AT 50 MPH AND THE CEL CAME ON AND THE RPM WENT TO ZERO, BUT AS I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE RESTARTED BY ITSELF AT ABOUT 40 MPH, SO IT WAS OFF FOR LESS THAN 10-15 SECONDS. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AFTER MOVING ABOUT 6 FEET THE ENGINE DIED AND THE TACH WENT TO ZERO AND THE CEL CAME ON. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND CONTINUED WITH MY ERRANDS. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE ENGINE WAS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE FUEL TANK HAD AT LEAST 10 GALLONS. THE DEALER CHECKED THE CAR BUT FOUND NO CODES TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BACK IN MAY 2014 FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS #14V154000. I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST SINCE THE 1RST OF JUNE AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. MY DURANGO WAS LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD I NEED THE PART BUT STILL NO REPLACEMENT. I AM STILL ON THAT WAITING LIST FROM JUNE. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART? AND IF MY DURANGO IS IN NEED OF THAT PART, AT THIS RATE WILL SOMETHING HAPPEN BUT THE PART IS IN AND MY NAME COMES TO THE TOP OF THAT WAITING LIST? IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE NOW RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY DURANGO, ABOUT THE SUN VISOR AND I AM TOLD THEY NEED 4 HOURS TO REPLACE THIS PART. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS WAS INTERMITTENTLY TURNING ON AND OFF. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON AUGUST 20, YET THE LIGHT WASN'T ON AT THE TIME AND WE WERE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNLESS THE LIGHT WAS ON. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH, TOOK IT INTO THE SAME DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY SAID "CONFIRMED AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR B1C29 LEFT SIDE SEAT THORAX SQUIB CIRCUIT OPEN. PERFORMED WIRE REPAIRS TO LEFT AIR BAG WIRE JUMPER HARNESS BETWEEN R5 AND R7." WE WERE BILLED $299.50 FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2012 MODEL AND WE FEEL THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE BEING 2 YEARS OLD. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO WOULD ACTED LIKE IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME TURNING OVER WHEN I WOULD START IT. ONE TIME ALL OF MY AUXILIARY LIGHTS LIT UP AND THEN THE ENTIRE SUV CUT OFF. AFTER I HAD MY OIL CHANGED 09/08/14 MY 2012 DODGE DURANGO STARTED HAVING EVEN MORE ISSUES WITH STARTING UP . IT WOULD TAKE ME ANYWHERE FROM 3-10 TIMES TO GET IT STARTED. I HEARD A SIZZLING SOUND UNDER THE SUV AFTER I HAD PARKED IT AND GOT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE ENTIRE SUV WAS DEAD. MY NEIGHBOR WAS ABLE TO JUMP START IT, SO I WENT AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BATTERY. IT STILL HAD ISSUES STARTING, BUT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WOULD FINALLY TURN OVER. IT EVEN COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. LAST NIGHT I HEARD THE SAME SIZZLING SOUND SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH MY DURANGO AND THIS MORNING IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON EVEN AFTER GIVING IT A JUMP. OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT JUST ME. THIS SITUATION IS SO UNFAIR BECAUSE RIGHT NOW MY CAR DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND THE DEALERSHIP IS ACTING AS IF THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IF I WAS ABLE TO 'EASILY' FIGURE OUT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT WE ARE ALL HAVING JUST BY DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, YOU WOULD THINK THE 'EXPERTS' RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING ME MY CAR AND WORKING ON IT WOULD KNOW TOO. INDIVIDUALS AND BIG COMPANIES WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MORAL CORRECT PEOPLE ALWAYS END UP LOSING IN THE END. I HOPE THEY DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND RECALL THE FAULTY TIPM ASSOCIATED WITH ALL

2012 DODGE DURANGO CREW WITH A V6. ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, BUT MANAGED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND LET IT COAST TO THE SHOULDER. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK, BUT IMMEDIATELY DIE. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING SMOOTHLY. SINCE THEN, IT WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT START (THE STARTER TURNS OVER, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT RUN). NO CODES ARE DISPLAYING WHEN HOOKED TO A COMPUTER. A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIPM AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER START RECORD IF I TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT 2 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING VS IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR AS SOON AS I INSERT THE KEY. REMOTE START RARELY WORKS NOW. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE ENGINE DYING WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (SHE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER). TO ME, THIS IS A MUCH MORE PRESSING ISSUE THAN THE CURRENT RECALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,200.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL IN MAY 2014 FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ESTABLISH A REPLACEMENT APPOINTMENT. *TR

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) - TRIED TO START MY CAR ONE MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T START. MADE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER SO I STOPPED AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED. EACH DAY IT GOT WORSE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT LUNCH AND AFTER WORK SO WAS HAPPENING 3 TIMES A DAY. CAR STARTED TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET OR MAKE ODD SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE WAS REVVING UP. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR AND STARTED TO GET TO A POINT WHEN IT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HARDLY START AFTER TRYING FOR 10 OR MORE MINUTES. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND AFTER WAITING FOR 3 DAYS THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE AND WOULD COST $1281.15 TO FIX. THIS WAS JUST TODAY. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WENT SEARCHING ONLINE WONDERING MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND COME TO FIND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN FILED. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS. TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET FOR NO REASON AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR CAR STARTED AGAIN IS BEYOND SCARY. WHEN THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODULE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. EVEN SOMEONE IN MY OWN CITY HAD TO WAIT FOR THE PART ON BACK ORDER. A RECALL MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED, PLEASE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V15400 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2014. TOOK CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 THAT THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY AIR IN TAKE SENSOR. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 THE AIR INTAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. DEALERSHIP WAS GETTING READY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE 30 MILES TO ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO RESET WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIPM (COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH IS THE BRAINS OF THE VEHICLE). THE FAULTY TIPM IS PREVENTING THE FUEL INJECTOR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AT START UP SO THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS AND FAILS TO START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WILL START BUT IF LEFT IDLE WILL STALL AND ENGINE CUTS OFF. *TR

2012 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7. HEMI, KEYLESS START, AUTO TRANSMISSION. SINCE VEHICLE WAS RELATIVELY NEW, WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT START, STARTER WOULD ENGAGE, BUT TO IGNITION.

THE PANEL LIGHTS HAS ALL COME ON ALL AT ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART SEVERAL TIMES LATE AT NIGHT. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS HAS GONE OFF COMPLETELY AT NIGHT WITHOUT PANEL LIGHT NOTIFICATION. THE FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL TIMES. THE RADIO AT TIMES WILL NOT PAY. THE PUSH START BUTTON WILL NOT ALWAYS START THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE PERMITS A FOUL ORDER AT TIMES. THE ENGINE HAS GONE FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL DRIVE WITHOUT PLACEMENT IN MANUAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT COME BACK AFTER BEING PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. THE MOTHER BOARD HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS SHUT DOWN - VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A RENTAL CAR 4 TIMES FOR AN APPROXIMATE TOTAL OF 30 DAYS TO TRY TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEMS. I HAVE 4 RECALLS FOR VARIOUS ISSUES AND NONE HAVE BEEN FIXED DUE TO PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE FAILED TO START. POSSIBLY RUINED THE BATTERY. *TR

2012 DODGE DURANGO CREW V6 TIPM PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF A FAULTY/FAILING TIPM AS MANY OTHERS ARE AND RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHRYSLER AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST. THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING POSSIBLE CAUSING A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING AS NO POWER IS BEING FED TO THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

PUSH START BUTTON, CAR GURGLES, SPITS AND SPUTTERS. TOLD TO TRY TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY NEED A CODE. PUT CAR INTO GEAR INSTANTLY DIED. NOW AT DEALERSHIP, COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ONE MONTH AGO, HAS HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE IT DIED ON THEM. ORDERING A NEW TIPM AFTER WE FOUND ONLINE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES! *TR

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TIPM IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR WILL CRANK AND NOT START. THE CAR SAYS THAT IS RUNNING AND IS NOT. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UPON PULLING OUT IN TO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE EITHER STOPPED ACCELERATING OR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OUT TO PASS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY TO NEARLY GET T-BONED AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WHICH EVENTUALLY GET TRACED BACK TO A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THE VEHICLES IS SENT IN FOR SERVICE NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWS A TROUBLE CODE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2012 BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT YET - MY ISSUE IS: THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT DODGE IS NOT SENDING THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.APPARENTLY THE BRAKES COULD POSSIBLY FREEZE AND FAIL. I CALLED THE DEALER 7/1/2014 AND WAS "PUT ON THE LIST" FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED TODAY, 8/1/2014, AND WAS TOLD I WAS ON THE LIST BUT THERE WAS ALMOST 50 OTHERS IN FRONT OF ME AND THAT DODGE WAS ONLY SENDING 2 OR 3 PARTS A MONTH AND HAD RESTRICTED THE PART SO IT COULDN'T BE ORDERED. AT THIS RATE, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE YEAR BEFORE MY CAR IS FIXED. ALTHOUGH IT IS AUG. NOW, IT WILL GET COLD SOON AND I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT I CHAUFFEUR AROUND. I WOULD HATE FOR ONE OF THEM TO BE INJURED BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAIL AND WOULD ALSO HATE TO FILE A LAWSUIT OVER A KNOWN ISSUE THAT DODGE SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET OVER. IS THERE ANYWAY TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS SO THE CAR CAN BE FIXED BEFORE WINTER? *TR

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE DURANGE RT. WHEN PARKED AT A GAS STATION, TRIED TO TURN ENGINE ON WITH PUSH START SWITCH AND ENGINE DOES NOT START. WHEN PUSHING START SWITCH AGAIN IT MAKES THE SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT DOES NOTHING. IN ORDER TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP FROM MAKING THE TURN OVER NOISE I HAVE TO MOVE FROM PARK TO IN GEAR. THEN I RECEIVE THE "IGNITION OR ACCESSORY ON" MESSAGE. IN ORDER TO GET THE MESSAGE CLEAR I HAVE TO TURN OFF VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE. THIS PUTS THE ENGINE INTO THE OFF MODE AND I HAVE TO START THE PROCESS TO GET THE CAR TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I HAVE VIDEO TO SHOW THE DEFECT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND READ THIS ISSUE WITH MANY PEOPLE SAYING IT IS THE TIPM DEFECT.
