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.
When I change the gear from N to D or from N to R, there is a strong banging sound sometimes, not every time which is very annoying. Went to the dealer, they said this is NORMAL!!
Dogde durrango 2012 5.7L V8 Citadel, Since day one the transmission was having sound, when i report back to the delear they simple say ok just drive it till you complete 1000 Hrs than bring it for the first service, After first service they have fix nothing and the problem is still there and they just want to convce us this is the feature of the truck.
