CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

We were driving the car and it would seem to lose power and then make a strange noise. Engine began to smoke. Took to the dealer they determined it was the water pump on a 31,000 mile vehicle. They replaced water pump and the car ran great for all of one day.
