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.

Driver lost control of 2011 Dodge Durango, traveling approximately 35-45 mph, and hit a tree head on. Vehicle purchased on 8/25/2011 new, and had approximately 5,000 miles on it at time of collision. Driver was wearing his seat belt. No air bags deployed. All emergency personnel, wrecker driver, body shop, and insurance claims adjuster indicated that there was no reason air bag should not have deployed, the crash definitely hit the sensors. Vehicle still being assessed, but is probably a total loss.
