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.
Our brand new Durango is a replacement for a previous Chrysler lemon already(Dodge Journey).
I drove the replacement vehicle off the lot and knew immediately there was an issues. It had a vibration and pulled. The dealer would not repair the vehicle.
Chrysler redesigned the suspension on the new Durango 2013-2014.They increased the struts and springs by 10% and replaced the torsion bar. This leaves the 2011 and 2012 Durango RT owners with an inherent design flaw. I have pictures videos etc.
