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.
2011 durango crew sale price 26tsd Can $. No mechanical fitness assessment. They told us, the car need an inspection and some repairs such as:
UCD Safety, LOF, front rotors (rusted bad), rear rotors (Rusted), service pads, water pump steering gear (leaking), wheel align, tire rotation, steering fluid, outer tie rod end nuts, ball joint nuts, coolant, that all together cost 4739.58$, on a company letter printed.
After those repairs, which took two weeks, finally we had our Durango. March 13, 2018. April 27 to May 8,2018 back to the Dealer, AC not working: Compressor to condenser leaking. Replaced A/C line Compressor to condenser evacuated, vaccum tested and recharged system.
We have an additional insurance which covered the costs for that. but why?????? LEMON?????
Sunday July 8, 2018. setup Durango with Hitch to pull our trailer, Test drive without trailer, coming to an intersection breaks failure, stop in the middle of intersection. what the hell is going on??????
Monday July 9, 2018 back to the Dealer, now they fixed it, but want us to pay additional $150.
We bought that car at a big dealer with reputation. We fell really upset.
When pressing the brake pedal there is a sound like escaping air. Took the car in on the 30th of January. The issue turns out to be the brake booster. Chrysler has told the service department that the part was not available, earliest date Feb 28th. How can they make a vehicle that they say they do not have a part for?
This/ vehicle has had 3 other brake issues from new, poor manufacturing, poor support.
