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.

have dodge replace the faulty wiring that they installed (1 reports)
We paid for an extended warranty that is suppose to cover bumper to bumper. And we take our car to Dodge for all our maintenance. But guess what, when you need it to cover one thing, it does not cover wiring. Faulty wiring that was installed by Dodge to attach the air bags on both seats. This is a huge safety issue and Dodge does not want to cover it.
I am beyond frustrated. If Dodge does not want to stand by their own workmanship, I will never buy another Dodge again and I am going to tell everyone I know about this!
