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.
Mutiple incidcents where the liftgate will not close completely often followed by the liftgate motor refusing to release the liftgate to open. The dealership has attempted to fix the issue, but isn't sure what the problem actually is. They too have nearly an impossible time opening the liftgate. This issue has occurred at least four times. So, far no fix.
