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.
Dodge is recalling Durangos because of the Fuel Pump Relay but they do not know when the part will be ready so that means I will have to rent a vehicle for my family in the meantime. Dodge does not offer Loaner cars nor does my dealer, so that's $1,000+ out of my pocket which I cannot afford. I think I should be compensated for this.
