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.
Lights burn out after 2 years! Front fog light burnt out, rear tail light, and other side rear turn signal burnt out! It is a 2 year old car! This should NOT be happening! Add it to the list of electrical issues I have had with this vehicle. I love the car but have had so many problems!! It is not an easy task to replace yourself either...regardless of what the self-help videos say. I broke both rivets trying to replace it....
