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.

Right @ about 10 miles and hour there is a cluck noise @ the rear of the truck. Dodge techs can pin point the cause. It cause some performance issue between 60 and 75. I took the truck in multiple time and they first told me it was the drive shaft. After fixing it the problem still continues. Also @120,000 I had a worn camshaft and lifters
While backing out of the driveway heard a loud pop, thought I had run over something. Checked and saw nothing. Proceeded and heard another pop and the back tires began to rub. Had the truck towed to the nearest repair shop and was informed that the rear suspension had separated from the undercarriage and that the bolts were intact but there were cracks in the carriage causing the suspension rod to separate. The mechanic said that in 30 years he had never seen anything like it. Cost of repair is estimated to be in the thousands.
While driving on the highway when I come across a rough spot that is unavoidable (with all the construction on the roads) my steering wheel starts rocking and it becomes very difficult to maintain control of the car. It resembles a flat tire. I have to really pay attention and keep the car in my lane. There is also a very noticeable rattle/noise/vibration under the car. I have had the alignment done and even purchased new tires, but so far nothing has helped.
