CarComplaints.com Notes: When the 3rd-generation Durango was introduced in 2011 owners almost immediately started having a wide range of issues -- from water pump failure to stalling engines. Turns out the TIPM is to blame and those problems carried into the 2012 model year.
TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Modules) is responsible for controlling and distributing power to all the vehicle’s electrical functions. So when the TIPM starts acting up, so do all sorts of problems in the vehicle.
The problems have been so bad -- and replacement parts became so hard to find -- that a class-action lawsuit was filed against Chrysler focusing on the 2011-2012 Durango. The lawsuit accuses the automaker of ignorning the problem until it spiraled out of control.
There was a booster brake recall on 2012 Durango. I was in an accident today and could not push the brakes all the way down on the car. Dodge dealership in Lakeland, Fl states they only put foam on on the booster. The brakes did not work and now the damage is unbelievable.
After receiving a recall notice in May 2014 I called the dealership to have this problem resolved. As of today 10/2014, they still have not gotten the part in... The recall was the brake booster and from time to time it's very difficult to press down on my brakes and I'm afraid one day the brakes aren't going work at all and I will be in a tragic accident. Please give me suggestions on what I should I do at this point.
