ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT LOSS OF POWER TO EVERYTHING INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. IT WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO WHERE WE WERE STAYING. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULD NOT START AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER WHERE WE EVENTUALLY LEARNED IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE . WE ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE A DANGEROUS ONE. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS PART IS ON ETERNAL BACK ORDER LEAVING US STRANDED 12 HOURS FROM HOME WITH A CAR FULL OF KIDS. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT!!! I AM NOT SURE I WILL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A REAL COMMON PROBLEM! *TR

ON 10/24/2013 I STARTED THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB BY THE TIME I REACHED THE VEHICLE IT WAS OFF THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN I HAD LESS THAN 1/4 OF GAS SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. DROVE TO WORK THE MORNING OF THE 25TH JUST FINE GOT READY TO GO TO LUNCH AND THE POST OFFICE USED THE KEY FOB TO REMOTE START BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE CAR IT WAS OFF WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT WOULD NOT START CONTINUED TO MAKE A SOUND AS IF IT WAS STILL TRYING TO START. I FILLED THE TANK MIND YOU ON MY WAY TO WORK SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THE LACK OF GAS AT THIS POINT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED DURING MY LUNCH BREAK TO THE DEALER WHO CALLED A FEW HOURS LATER TO INFORM ME IT WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH WOULD COST $1,230 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. OH THE CATCH IS THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HE WILL NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET HERE UNTIL HE PLACES THE ORDER. I QUESTIONED THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A RARE PART AND IF ANY RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED AS MY WARRANTY JUST RAN JUST REACHED 41K WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 35K. HE SAID NOT JUST WITH DURANGO'S BUT ALSO WITH OTHER DODGE MODELS SAID HE WOULDN'T KNOW WHEN PART WOULD ARRIVE UNTIL HE PLACED THE ORDER. WELL I CAN SEE NOW I NEED TO EXPECT THE WORST. THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE RECALL. *TR

IT BEGAN WHEN THE CAR WOULD CRANK AND NOT START SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ACTUALLY STARTING. I TOOK IT IN (FIGURING AT SOME POINT IT WOULD JUST NOT START AT ALL AND LEAVE ME STRANDED) AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT AND SENT ME HOME. IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY REFLASHED SOMETHING OR OTHER AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE REFLASH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I DID NOT TAKE IT BACK IN, FIGURING I WOULD LEAVE WITH THE SAME RESULT. FINALLY, THE CAR DIED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT, WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. NO POWER BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT GOING TERRIBLY FAST AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND. I TOOK IT BACK IN AGAIN, AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A NEW TPIM. AFTER SPEAKING WITH DODGE, THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE '11 DURANGOS. THE NEW TPIM WAS INSTALLED, HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, ACTIVATING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL NOW FLASHES THE FOG LIGHTS. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THIS IS DUE TO A SECOND FAULTY TPIM. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY DUE TO LACK OF FUEL REACHING THE ENGINE WHEN FIRST STARTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIPM THAT POWERED THE FUEL PUMP TO THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS WAS ON BACKORDER. THE CONTACT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,460.

ON SEPTEMBER 29TH THE VEHICLE HAD TROUBLE STARTING AND WOULD DIE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY WIFE WAS OUT OF TOWN AND THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE GOING THROUGH IN INTERSECTION. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO HER PARENTS AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS MANY OTHERS WITH A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). DODGE CONFIRMED IT WAS A BAD TIPM AND THE PART WAS REPLACED BY DODGE THOUGH NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND THE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIRS WAS ALMOST $1200.00. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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 THERE WAS AN ANGEL LOOKING OVER US, AND THE OTHER VEHICLE STOPPED JUST IN TIME. I HAVE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS, AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR A LOANER/RENTAL AND THEY CAN GIVE NO ETA ON THE PART, AS THERE IS A COUPLE THOUSAND ON BACKORDER. MY FAMILY AND DODGE GOT LUCKY IN THIS SITUATION, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS OCCURS AGAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE, AND SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE. NEVER MADE APPOINTMENT DATE. A/C WENT OUT, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, RADIO STOPPED, LIGHTS FLASHED, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED. CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, LOST POWER STEERING. NO CRASH, ROLLED TO A SAFE STOPPING AREA. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THE CAR NEEDED NEW BATTERY. NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED BUT CHECK BATTERY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. AFTER MORE TESTING, DEALER SAID ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NEW ALTERNATOR WAS INSTALLED, BUT BATTERY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. DEALER PUT CALLS TO CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER SAID POSSIBLE BAD NEW ALTERNATOR REPLACE WITH ANOTHER NEW ALTERNATOR SUGGESTED. NEW ALTERNATOR REPLACED BUT SAME THING STILL HAPPENED, CHECK BATTERY LIGHT STILL ON. AFTER MORE CALLS TO CHRYSLER, NEW PCM ( POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) SUGGESTED TO BE INSTALLED. PCM WAS REPLACED AS WARRANTY PART, NO CHECK BATTERY LIGHT. TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $1,000.00 FOR OUT OF WARRANTY PARTS. WITH IN A WEEK CAR WAS NOT STARTING, WOULD CRANK BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT START OR IT WOULD START AND THEN STALL OUT, CAR WOULD FINALLY START AFTER 20 MINS. OF TRYING TO START CAR. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER. SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE. STILL HAD STARTING ISSUES, AND RUNNING ISSUES. AFTER MORE CALLS TO CHRYSLER THEY NOW BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS A TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). TIPM IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER WITH NO KNOWN RELEASE/ EXPECTED AVAILABILITY DATE. CHRYSLER WILL WARRANTY THE TIPM PART. CAR NOW SITS AT THE DEALER FOR ALMOST 30 DAYS AND NO ONE HAS ANY ESTIMATE AS TO A FIX DATE. NOW WAITING ON A CASE MANAGER TO CONTACT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND POSSIBLE RENTAL CAR AND REFUND FOR REPLACED PARTS. SENDING OFF PAPER WORK FOR LEMON LAW. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE RECALL BUT OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT DUE TO LACK OF INVENTORY IN TIPM PARTS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
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 IS THAT? TOMORROW I WILL HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I WASN'T GIVEN AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN OR A RENTAL CAR. THIS REALLY SUCKS! I HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND PRAY THAT THERE ISN'T AN EMERGENCY WHERE I NEED TO JUMP IN MY VEHICLE AND GO BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START IF I STEPPED ON THE GAS VERY HARD AND SEVERAL TIME IT WOULD THEN START. I WAS THEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AT MOTORWOLD. MY APPOINTMENT WASN'T FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND I CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING MY VEHICLE IN WHICH I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START THE IGNITION AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AND I WOULD HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS VERY HARD UNTIL IT STARTED. I THEN HAD MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DODGE DEALER AT MOTORWORLD. I WAS TOLD 2 DAYS LATER THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A TOTAL TIPM(TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILURE AND THAT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WOULD TOLD THAT THE TIPM WAS ON AN INTERGALACTIC BACK ORDER AND THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS IN USA AND THAT OVER 1000 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE US WERE AWAITING THIS PART. I WAS TOLD THAT MOTORWOLD WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE TIPM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SOME TIME IN NOVEMBER 2013. I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY COMPANY FIDELITY WHOM I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH WOULD ONLY COVER 1 DAY OF RENTAL. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER REGARDING A RENTAL VEHICLE. I SPEND HOURS CALLING AND ON HOLD WITH CHRYSLER WITH PHONE CALLS. I ALSO HAVE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION. AT THIS TIME I AM PAYING FOR VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. I AM CURRENTLY IN A RENTAL VEHICLE AND IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED. I FEAR THAT THE TIPM WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART. I FEAR SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS FAULTY VEHICLE. I AM CURRENTLY PAYING FOR A CARE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE BC IT IS UNSAFE. DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO WERE SOLD A FAULTY UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

I AM JUST NOW BEING TOLD IT IS THE TIPM. APPARENTLY THAT CAN AFFECT SO MANY THINGS LIKE ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR IN NOVEMBER 2012 I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & IT WOULD TELL ME KEY NOT DETECTED. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP & TURN MY CAR OFF THEN RESTART. AT THAT TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY NOW I'M WISHING I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT CHECKED OUT THEN. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY CAR. THEN TODAY I HAD MY KEY FOB IN MY CAR & IT JUST LOCKED ON IT'S OWN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TIPM=TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE. THIS STOPS THE VEHICLE FROM CRANKING PROPERLY. IT KEEPS TURNING AND TURNING AFTER TRYING TO USE THE PUSH TO START, IT WILL CRANK, REV UP AND TURN RIGHT BACK OFF IF YOU USE THE KEY TO START IT, AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FLASHED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE LEARNED FROM TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE IS OVER 14,000 ON BACKORDER. THEY DO NOT HAVE A ETA AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THE VEHICLES IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE BASIC WARRANTY. I EVEN PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE AND THEY STATED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THE COST FOR THE PART AND REPAIR THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME IS $1100. THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO ADVISED ME TO CONTACT DODGE AT 1-800-423-6343 AND I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHOM STATED IT WAS COVERED, IT IS NOTED IN MY FILE 3 TIMES BY 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT IT IS COVERED AND THEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY KNEW WHEN THEY WOULD GET SOME TO GET ME ON A LIST AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED, HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH SPEAKING WITH DODGE AT THE 1800 NUMBER AND GOING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND OF COURSE IT WAS MORE THAN 20,000 WHICH MAKES ME LIVID THAT I WOULD EVEN HAVE CAR TROUBLE THIS EARLY IN THE LOAN. I AM NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL IT IS FIXED PROPERLY AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS IT SHOULD BE ON RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS HAVING TROUBLES WITH THE AUTO START. READ ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN (NUMBER: 08-024-11 REV. A) THAT FIXES THE ISSUE WITH A FLASH REPROGRAM HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WERE NOT AFFECTED BY THE ISSUE. THEN FIVE DAYS AGO THERE WAS A FAN TYPE NOISE FROM THE REAR BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAN NOISE STAYED ON ALL NIGHT AND DRAINED MY BATTERY. I JUMP STARTED THE CAR AND IT HELD A CHARGE AND RAN FINE BUT THE FAN NOISE NEVER STOPPED. I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE FAN NOISE IS THE ABS STAYING ON BECAUSE THE TIPM IS BAD. I'M SURE THAT PARTS OF THE CAR STAYING ON BY THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY THOSE RELATED TO THE ABS MODULE MUST BE OF SOME SAFETY CONCERN. THE CAR NOT STARTING COULD BE DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP NOT BEING STARTED BY THE TIPM THIS ALSO IS CONCERNING. THE PART IS ON A 800+ BACK ORDER. SO THIS IS AFFECTING OVER 800 CUSTOMERS. I'VE MET ONE PERSON HERE IN MY CITY WHO SAYS HE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING AND 9 OTHER PEOPLE AT HIS DEALERSHIP ARE WAITING ON THIS PART. MULTIPLE POSTERS ARE STATING THAT THEY'VE BEEN WAITING OVER A MONTH FOR A PART AND CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. FAULTY COMPUTERS THAT KEEP CERTAIN COMPONENTS ON AND OTHERS OFF IS VERY SCARY AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE 800+ BACK ORDER IS CONCERNING. NOT TO MENTION THAT A LOT OF THE OWNERS ARE BEING TOLD TO DRIVE THEIR CARS IN THIS CONDITION WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. "JUST KEEP TRYING TO START IT MANUALLY UNTIL IT STARTS". PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. *JS

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 A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER FOR THOSE DRIVING OR RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. ONE LAWSUIT AND MAYBE THEY WILL CORRECT? NO IDEA ON ETA OF PART, "WILL CALL YOU WEEKLY" W/UPDATES IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. AMERICA BAILED OUT CHRYSLER AND NOW AMERICA IS DRIVING UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING VEHICLES. THEY APPARENTLY ARE OFFERING RENTAL CARS TO SOME. WE CUSTOMERS STILL HAVE TO PAY OUR CAR PAYMENTS/INSURANCE ETC WHILE OUR VEHICLES SIT FOR WEEKS ON END FOR AN ISSUE THAT WE HAD NO WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT DETECTION AND ENGINE STALLING WAS RANDOM EITHER AT THE START OF YOUR ENGINE STARTING OR ON THE ROAD WITH THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT HAPPENING. COME ON CHRYSLER PROTECT THE AMERICANS THAT BAILED YOU OUT AND DO A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE AND FIND THE PART...ETA UNKNOWN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE OR FACE EVEN MORE LOSS OF SALES DUE TO THE NEGATIVITY OF SAFETY/ENGINE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THIS. NO RE-DOS ON BAILOUTS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

MY 2011 DURANGO DOES NOT START. IT PRESENTS SIMILAR TO HOW A CAR WOULD IN THE PAST WHEN THE FUEL PUMP WOULD FAIL. THE DEALER DID A "DIAGNOSTIC" AND INITIALLY SAID IT WAS OK AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. FIRST STOP ON THE WAY HOME AT THE STORE, IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. WHEN WE DID GET IT STARTED, IT HAS NOW BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVE FOR A MONTH WAITING FOR A PART THE DEALER IDENTIFIED AS THE TIPM, TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THEY SAID IT WAS 1100 PARTS BACKORDERED, AND GAVE A STORY ABOUT HOW THE PART IS SPECIFIC FOR THE VEHICLE AND HOW THE PART PRODUCTION WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECESSION ETC. THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST DONE WITH IT'S THIRD YEAR PRODUCTION, MOVING TO 4TH YEAR NOW, AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PART. WE HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD OCTOBER 22 THEY MAY HAVE THE PART, AFTER BEING TOLD IT WOULD BE "NO LATER THAT 9/23/13". THE DEALERSHIP (AND ANOTHER LOCAL ONE) HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR RESOLUTION, AND DESPITE HAVING A CASE MANAGER AT DODGE, STILL GETTING RUN AROUND. WE HAVE HEARD THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON FOR THIS TO OCCUR BETWEEN 35000 AND 75000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IT MANIFEST AS VARIOUS ELECTRONIC ISSUES FROM STARTING, TO VARIOUS SIGNAL AND WIPER MALFUNCTIONS ETC, ANYTHING ELECTRICAL.

THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ON MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL HAS ALSO GONE OUT AS OTHER HAVE POSTED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE LAST 2 DAYS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTER 65 MINUTES THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND MY VEHICLE WAS GOOD TO GO. THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AT ALL. THE BATTERY WAS GOOD BUT NO ELECTRICAL ITEMS WORKED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOWED THE VEHICLE IN AFTER 8 HOURS THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOW THE TOTAL INTERGRATED POWER MODULE THAT WENT OUT. THEY SAID THE COST FOR THE PART AND LABOR WILL BE ABOUT $1,185. BUT THE PART IS BACK-ORDERED. THEY CLAIM THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2085 VEHICLES WAITING FOR THIS PART AND THAT IT COULD BE 1-5 MONTHS TO GET THE PART. *TR

THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) ON MY 2011 DODGE DURANGO HAS GONE OUT. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS BECAUSE THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY CAN GET ONE (THEY SAID IT COULD BE WEEKS). WHEN I DROPPED MY DURANGO OFF, THERE WERE 3 OTHER VEHICLES THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. AS OF YESTERDAY, I AM 2ND IN LINE FOR THE PART AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT "NUMBER" I AM NATIONALLY!! FROM WHAT I'M READING, CHRYSLER HAS A MAJOR NATIONWIDE ISSUE WITH THIS PART, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO A RECALL. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS MY CAR ABOUT GETTING A LOANER, BUT THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL CUSTOMER CARE AT CHRYSLER CORP. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TALK TO A CASE MANAGER FOR A WEEK NOW. I HAVE CALLED EVERYDAY, AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL HAVE SOMEONE CALL ME WITHIN THE DAY. I CALLED THIS MORNING, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CASE WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER JUST TODAY (AFTER A WHOLE WEEK), AND THAT HE WOULD CALL ME IN A DAY OR 2. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ONE AVAILABLE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $300 DOLLARS ON A RENT CAR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE SPENDING MUCH MORE. I JUST WANT THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME/PAY FOR NEXT WEEK'S RENTAL (AND BEYOND THAT). IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT CONCERNED AT ALL, AND CONTINUE TO DISMISS MY CONCERNS. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I'M HAVING THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS A 37,800 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, BUT THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST. WE ARE PLANNING ON GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEKEND, AND TRADING IT IN "AS IS" FOR SOMETHING ON THEIR PREOWNED LOT...SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CHRYSLER!! (CHRYSLER DID AGREE TO PAY FOR THE PART, SO THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE OUT ANY MONEY IF WE TRADE IT IN.) *TR
