TIPM Failure. Fuel Pump Continues To Run After Car Is Off
2012 Dodge Durango
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Dodge dealer.
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.

I had a recall on the alternator which was deemed to have gone back when I was going 70 mph during morning traffic on the interstate. My car systems shut down one by one until the car completely went out. I was told that the TIPM stater relay on the circuit board went bad and that the PCM vacuum pump driver and fuel pump driver were now always on.
I was told that even though these problems all occurred simultaneously and are all electronic systems through which the alternator governs power that it could not be determined that they are attributed to the recalled bad alternator. After much research, I have discovered that my exact issue was involved in a Class Action Lawsuit filed against Chrysler and settled. However the close date of the settlement was Dec. 2015 so I am out of luck according to Chrysler at this time.
The cost of this repair has been estimated at $1910 even though the TIPM failure which is also responsible for the PCM issues is a known issue for Chrysler. How it cannot be all tied together is absurd, 3 systems failing all at once and they all failed independently AND the two system failures would have caused the car to not run is unacceptable.
