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

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
Electrical system, Engine, Sep 14, 2014
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 OF OUR VEHICLES WITH NO CHARGE TO US. *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

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

THE ONLY LOANER I WAS PLACED IN WAS A BRAND NEW DURANGO WITH THE PLASTIC STILL COVERING THE SEATS, FLOOR ETC. THE BRAND NEW LOANER ALSO CONTAINED A FAULTY TIPM. WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE LOANER A DAY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE BRIGHT LIGHTING EVERYONE, ALARM WAS GOING OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, RADIO WAS CRACKLING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLASHING. OUR DURANGO CONTAINS ALL OF THESE ISSUES; LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE DEAD, BOTH FRONT STRUTS ARE BLOWN LEAKING, SPRAYING FLUID UNDER THE VEHICLE ONTO THE FRAME AND BRAKE(S), LINE(S), TRANSMISSIONS IS LEAKING, HIGH ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION.
