CarComplaints.com Notes: The third generation Durango is plagued by a defective TIPM, particularily in the 2011 and 2012 model years.
TIPM, which stands for Totally Integrated Power Modules, is responsible for controlling and distributing power to all the vehicle’s electrical functions. So when your TIPM goes haywire, bad things start happening. Things like your water pump can stop working, your engine can stall out and your airbags can randomly deploy.
I made a warranty claim and was told that this is normal wear and tear. Really, Chrysler/Dodge are happy that their tan leather seats go black after two years! This says a lot about their standards, or rather lack thereof. This shouldn't happen on any car let alone their $45,000 top of the range cars. This was my third Chrysler in five years. We are retired and the vehicle has light clean pleasure use only. I just cannot believe it.
