I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT BEFORE I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR THEN STARTED SPUTTERING AND SPITTING LIKE IT DOES WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY TIPM. IT TOOK 20 MINUTES AND REMOVING THE FUSE FROM THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS TO GET THE CAR STARTED. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED BEFORE THE MANDATED RECALL ON THE ISSUE AND THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WIRING HARNESS ADDED AND REPLACED WITHIN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WHICH WAS 19 MONTHS OLD, THE OLD ONE LASTED ME 6 YEARS, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT TESTED PERFECTLY FINE AT THE REPAIR SHOP IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH. NOW THE CAR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE MY TIPM WAS REPLACED AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY!

CAR SHUTS OF SUDDENLY AT ANY SPEED, IT CAN BE RESTARTED WHILE IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER IT WONT GO BACK INTO GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT LETS ME PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AS ALL OF THE CARS FUNCTIONS GO DEAD POWER STEERING LIGHTS GAUGES, DOOR LOCKS WINDSHIELD WIPERS. IT CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I CAN'T ALWAYS GET OVER TO A SAFE LANE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO RESTART AND REENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER
Electrical system, Jan 17, 2019
TIPM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND GAUGES WILL NOT FUNCTION. DODGE SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THE HIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH THEY DO ADMIT THAT IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM. IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WITH SUCH A MALFUNCTIONING PART.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I'VE BEEN TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO SERVICE FOR DIFFERENT SERVICE ISSUES. THE MOST RECENT ONE IS THE DASH AND WHIPERS STARTED GOING CRAZY, A SUDDEN SMELL OF BURNT WIRES/ELECTRIC BURN. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE GEAR SHIFTER DIDN'T WANT TO ENGAGE. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE STARTING KEY. THE VEHICLE GOT TOWED TO THE DEELSRSHIP AND AFTER TWO DAYS THEY CALLED ME BACK SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COMUNICATING WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THEREFOR THE CAN'T MAKE A DIAGNOSIS. THEY WILL HAVE TO CHECK EACH WIRE ONE BY ONE ABD THAT CHECK UP IS GOING TO COST 4 HOURS OF WORK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400 BEFORE THEY CAN RUN A DIAGNOSIS.

BEGINNING IN DEC 2017, WE'VE HAD SPORADIC ISSUES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL ROADS WITH SOME PORTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CENTER LCD DASH SCREEN POWERS OFF, AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. DASH LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C ALL STAY ON. TYPICALLY WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF & BACK ON FOR IT TO RETURN. FROM DEC-OCT, ITS HAPPENED APPROX 5-6 TIMES. THE DEALER WASN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE FOR THE DAYS THEY HAD IT, AND NO ERROR CODES WERE WRITTEN. A FRIEND ALSO WITH A DURANGO DESCRIBED TO ME SIMILAR ISSUES WITH HIS, AND SAID HIS TIPM WAS FAULTY. WE HAVE LIFETIME WARRANTY, AND THE TIPM IS COVERED, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT UNTIL THE DEALER CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND GET AN ERROR CODE POINTING TO THE TIPM. I BELIEVE BECAUSE WE LOSE POWER STEERING, THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE REPLACED REGARDLESS.

MY DURANGO HAD BEEN REPAIRED PER RECALL R09, AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING AS IT WAS BEFORE THE REPAIR, WHICH IS HAVE FAILED STARTS, AND THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ( VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY).

REGARDING SAFETY RECALL R09 / NHTSA 15V-115 FUEL PUMP RELAY - 2012-2013 DODGE DURANGO & JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE OTHER WEEK THE FIX FAILED SEVERAL TIMES STARTING THE CAR AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I TOOK IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER TO GET THE FIX REDONE, IN THE TWO DAYS SINCE THE REDO THE CAR HAS ALREADY NOT STARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND STOPPED SUPPLYING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ONCE. SO IN SHORT, THE FIX FOR THE ORIGINAL SAFETY ISSUE DOES NOT WORK AND IS EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. SEARCHING ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE HAD THE FIX FAIL ON THEM AS WELL.
Electrical system, Sep 5, 2018
WE PURCHASED A CAR IN MARCH 2018, CAME TO FIND OUT IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT THEY INSTALLED AN ALTERNATOR THAT ALSO HAS AN OPEN RECALL SO WE ASSUME THEY TOOK THE PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT WITH A NEW ONE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE PUSH START DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK AND STALLS OUT. THE CAR HAS ALSO LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING LUCKILY IT KICK BACK ON BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. IT ALSO TENDS TO SHIFT GEARS VERY HARD AT TIMES.
