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 have received notification for three different recalls on my Dodge Durango. The first recall notice was received on 7/21/14 for P36 P14, the second recall was received on approx. 11/10/14 for P54/NHTSA 14V-530, and the third recall was received on 112/19/14 for P14/NHTSA 14V-154. Each time I received a recall notice I contacted South hills Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram to schedule an appointment to have my Dodge service and the recalls fixed. Each time I was told that the dealer did not have parts in stock and that there were 400 people on the waiting list in front of me and they could give me an estimate on when they could fix my vehicle. On 12/22/14 I contacted three rivers Jeep Dodge and they immediately scheduled me for a service appointment for 12/23/14 and indicated the parts for P36 P14 and P 14/NHTSA 14V-154 were readily available by all Dodge dealers. It is extremely concerning that the South hills Chrysler Dodge dealer had no sense of urgency in addressing these important safety recalls.

I could not get any of the recalls fixed! 2 Dodge dealerships in my area would only look and not correct my brake issue. One dealership told me I was at the bottom of the list because I did not purchase my Durango there!

The hasn't been an "incident" yet. I have a recall and was told by the dealership that they are only receiving 4 parts each week and have a waiting list of over 100 people. This is unacceptable! by the time I am able to get my vehicle fixed, I could have a serious accident by then.

Received recall P14/NHTSA 14V-154 late may/ early June of this year. Called dealer 6/5/2014 and was told parts not yet available. Called again 8/7/2014 and was told when parts come in I will be contacted. 9/17/2014 called dealer to check status and he had no more information or even a guess on when parts will be available. I then contacted Chrysler group via the 800 number on the web site and was told that the brake parts are being sent in "controlled quantities"" the person I spoke with answered my questions from a script and could not explain to me why a recall concerning brakes is being handled on a one to one basis. He told me when the dealer verifies that the recall has been satisfied on one vehicle another part is then sent to the dealer for the next affected vehicle. My question/complaint is why are the parts being rationed for such a vital part of safe vehicle operation and now that this recall is well into its fourth month when should I expect the repairs to be completed" this vehicle is used in a four season environment with very harsh winters. It is also the primary vehicle that my wife and children use everyday. I would like Chrysler to be compelled to act quickly on this recall and not put profit over public and personal safety.

You sent out a recall on my vehicle. I called and made an appt., with dealership for June 2014. When I showed for my appt., I was informed that they did not have parts needed to fix my vehicle. I was told to call them in August because that's when the parts would be in. I called in August and was told they are only getting a few parts at a time and for me to check back periodically. I just called them and they now have put me on a waiting list stating they still do not have parts and that several are in front of me on list. Your letter states that I need to file a complaint if the problem is not fixed without charge and in a timely manner.
