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.
After driving my Dodge Durango for almost 5 months coupled with a Failed Heater Blower motor, Failed RHB Head Unit, Replacement of left hood hinge assembly, I now have a front windshield that has been replaced under warranty as I have noted 7 marks in line with driver nose running vertically thru the interior of the window. YES you heard me correctly, 7 oxidization marks in the INTERIOR of the front windshield right down the centre of the driver side front windshield.
How on earth did this defect become trapped in the window...
Window was removed and replaced by Smokey Point Dodge Arlington Wa and sent to Dodge...I'm sure we will never know what happened as Dodge will not even reply to my dealer so why would they respond to me.
So lets recap shall we: RHB Head Unit Failure 2600 dollars, Heater Blower Motor 500 dollars, Front Windshield defects 900 dollars parts and labor, Front left hood hinge rattle and replacements.
Signed : IPOD LESS in Seattle in a 47000 dollar truck.
