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.

A recall for the fuel pump relay was issued 8 months ago and no remedy is available yet. The letter I received states that it can cause an engine stall resulting in a crash. Does the manufacturer have a responsibility to remedy the problem within a specified amount of time" according to your website, this vehicle has had 8 recalls. What options do I have"

Have tried three time to get mckenny Dodge to fix safety recall for totally integrated power module but continue to be told the parts for a fix have not been provided. Earlier this year the car intermittently lost power and they replaced the oil pump ($1432). Now I have the same problem and they replaced cam position sensor ($280) but 'check engine light' still on and problem still exists so now they want to replace the oil pressure switch and oil filter housing for ove $1,000. But with no assurance that it fixes the problem. Could the recall issue with yhe internal fuel pump relay be causing the intermittent hesitation. Why would this recall that could cause 'an intermittent or failed fuel pump relay' that could 'cause the engine to stall while driving and cause a crash without warning' not be fixed after being identified over a year ago.

Its been about 5 months I have called numerous times to the dealer. Every time I call they state theres no fix as yet. I lost count how many times my SUV has stalled out on me.especially on the exit ramp of the L.I.e here in nyc. A few times I have stalled out in traffic and I mentioned this the my dealer. On April 7 2020 I took my SUV to the repair shop and they put in another fuel pump relay but my truck is still at the point of stalling out. I was told this is a temporary fix until the manufacturer has a fix on the recall. I am very afraid of stalling out on the highway at high speed.please help. My hope is that in contacting you that there will be pressure on the manufacturer to remedy this problem before someone dies.

My car cuts off sometimes when I'm coming to a complete stop and also does it when breaking to make a turn. Cuts off in the middle of a turn. Very dangerous. At first it was infrequent but its happening once or twice a week. Usually this happens on city streets, hasn't happened on the highway yet.

I was driving my car one afternoon after work and all of a sudden all the lights on my dashboard lit up. I turned the car off rested for a minute then restarted it and proceeded to the oil change place to get my car an oil change thinking that would do the trick. Fast forward to Friday off this same week my car all of a sudden stopped working. The car lights blink for a second off the car comes on but otherwise it had not fully started in 2 days.

Since my car has had 74,000 miles I have taken it in for "abrupt shutdowns". my car has been in the dealership more than 1/2 a dozen times for the same issue and they have not been able to make my car safe for me to drive. Car is always in motion and completely shuts down whether it be on the street, highway (literally had to put in park and restart the vehicle during traffic on the freeway) or turning a corner, it completely shuts down and "fsw" flashes. All power is turned off and literally have to drive off to the side (if I am able to), of I just shut down in the middle of my route, put in park and continue on my drive. I have multiple photos that I have taken of my dashboard, showing this "fsw" (showing mileage). Last time this happened was December 2019

When driving the vehicle it will randomly begin to stall when driving and power off. Once you let you sit it will start right back up kind rough and then drive fine. Then couple days later it will do it again. My wife was making a turn when it stalled and almost got T boned. We took it in for the fuel pump recall but no parts have been pushed out for this recall nor have been made. They told.us to just keep driving it even though its asking G for an accident to happen. I asked for a replacement car and was denied and was told I can take it to another dealer but they said the same thing.

2014 recall on this vehicle 14V-530 P54 was addressed according to Chrysler, but we keep on having the same problem with car shutting off while driving subsequently shutting off power steering assist making steering almost impossible, we have been in real dangerous situations twice now, Chrysler does not further want to address this issue.

The vehicle is stalling while trying to start, the vehicle will act like it's not getting and fuel while driving and will preform a jerking motion as I continue to press the gas pedal down trying to get some fuel. The vehicle was in motion on a 4 lane highway.the cause of the problem is a faulty fuel system relay, I have done research over a dozen time talked to certified vehicle men and it is a recall on 2011 Dodge Durango's.

My vehicle has 69,000 miles on it. It is very well maintained. Recently I have experienced when coming to a complete stop the vehicle for whatever reason shuts off. I have to push the ignition button to restart the vehicle and it runs fine. It's scary to think that your vehicle can just shut it's off without any warning. The dealership doesn't have an explanation and there is no recall. However; there are multiple people via the internet that have experienced this same event. I think fodge should be looking into this issue. Fuel related..electrical?? lots of questions, but something needs to be done!!! scared for my safety!!

When driving at highway speeds and slowing down to stop or exit the road via off ramp or turn, the vehicle will randomly stall causing brakes and steering to become non-responsive. There is no warning prior to vehicle shutting down. It happens suddenly and randomly. It always appears to be when slowing down to exit a road or take a turn. I have to coast the vehicle until it stops and put it into park or neutral to start it again. It works fine until the next time. It has happened six times in the last month.

I had just started driving on the freeway when my dash started dinging and my temp went from cold to extremely hot so I pulled over.there was plenty of oil and water in it(I double checked).I started it up again and it went cold again, as I started driving to the nearest exit off the freeway a few noments later to have it looked at, it all of the sudden it woundnt let me give it gas.it slowed way down in the middle of the freeway.I got it off the freeway eventually it went back to normal then quickly started to make an awful sound.I stopped the car again for the fourth time and opened the hood and hot smoke vame out.after I let it cool for 2 hours on the side of the road it woundnt start.it wanted to but no fuel was getting to where it was suppose too.I had it looked at and no blown rod.they said ot looked like something to do with the fuel something or other.I had it tolled to my home 335 miles away where it sits broke and it cost me $300 thu aaa.two days later on 8/17/18 I get a recall notice on the brake booster and alternator diode thermal fatigue.the problem I have is my car almost caused a huge multi car collision on I 30 in tx. And it stranded me in a bad neighborhood..

The last recall that was performed was the P54 fuel relay. I believe the problem is somewhere in the entire electrical system. The reason I suspect this is because the vehicle has lots of intermittent problems. For example, the alarm goes off randomly for no reason since I purchased the vehicle, power locks open on their own, vehicle has difficulty starting at times and then starts right up most of the time, and all without a warning or error code on the dashboard. The most recent problem almost killed me and my family this morning as the vehicle turned off while driving and almost caused an accident, again no error codes or warnings. An investigation should be opened because this is extremely dangerous as the vehicle can turn off at any moment and without warning.
