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.
This car randomly stalls when going down the road. Seems like abrupt stops or turns is an instigator of this problem. Fuel pump was replaced on recall by an authorized Chrysler dealer. Problem randomly reappears. Very dangerous situation. The other day I slowed to turn across a highway and the bastard stalled in the intersection! I HAD ENOUGH FORWARD MOMEMTUM TO COAST OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I have taken it in for diagnosis. 75.00 dollars No codes appear. The technician "Mechanic" said that you would almost have to have the diagnostic hooked up when it occurred in order to trace it. TIPM doesn't have a memory ??
I like this vehicle for it's comfort and so forth ,but this stall problem is dangerous and could get someone killed. If it hasn't already!!!
I drive a 2011 Dodge Durango crew and while driving I lose fuel pressure, the car just stops taking gas while I'm going down the road and I have to pull off and stop so that it resets itself. Eventually had to replace fuel pump, $900, one year ago and now I'm having the same problem!!
Driving down the highway. Slowed down to make a left turn. Vehicle completely shut off - no power, no power steering. Pulled off onto the shoulder and vehicle restarted fine.
My Durango will not start, but occasionally after multiple tries. Spoke with the Dodge dealership, and they are aware of the issue as is Chrysler. There is a recall for the issue and my car falls into the timeframe of the recall, but my VIN is not included. Had to pay out of pocket for expenses. The fix for the problem is the TIPM needs replacing.
2011 Dodge Durango Crew we have been having a rash of electrical problems to include a crank sensor, power seat stopped working, airbag light came on and had to replace 4 lights in the rear tail/brake lights.
Always have problems to start the vehicle, because the fuel pump does not turn on, I replaced the primary fuel pump and it worked fine for 2 weeks and then the problem came back
