The tipm! I need to say no more. We need a recall to protect us.
2011 Dodge Durango electrical complaints
Page 16 of 18: complaints 431 to 460 of 514, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After several instances of the car not starting for no apparent reason (I have push button ignition), I suspected an electrical problem. Today, upon arriving home and shutting my vehicle off and exiting I found that my vehicles fuel pump did not shut off. It continued to run for 3 hours, until I pulled the fuse that controls the fuel pump. This is not an uncommon problem with chryslers tipm in 2011 durango models, as well as other chrysler models using the same module. The danger that a defective tipm presents is quite significant, especially to those who use their SUV to transport their small children. It is incredibly unsafe to not address the faulty nature of a system that controls the electrical stimulus of a vehicle, and could potentially deploy airbags in a non life threatening scenario or stall the engine, or present another defect at an inopportune time that would result in injury. The auditing of these defective systems should be a priority and I most definitely do not feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle, given the high volume of complaints against the electrical and tipm system. Chrysler has a responsibility to investigate these issues and rectify the problems that their negligence has presented to trusting consumers. I thought the automotive industry realized that safety over profits was of monumental importance, not only for their profit margin but for their reputation. I'm pretty sure no one has forgotten the ford pinto, it is a prime example in all business management literature of how not to operate in an ethical manner. Chrysler is openly neglecting the responsibility they have to provide a reliable product to their consumer, as proved by my inquires to their organization. Tipm is defective, it needs to be replaced on a mass scale, and chrysler ignores the potential and actual damages.
The truck will not turn over or start. It has been towed to the shop 3 times due to this. Noticed that when the truck does not want to start, the truck is having issues with changing gears - example is going into reverse, there is a huge thump, the truck will not move, and then all of a sudden will go when it wants to. Then the starting issues begin. Once that truck is not in the "mood" to start, it will not do anything for me. The battery is good because all accessories come on, but the truck will not turn over. The shop does not give me a reason for the issue, but just tries different things. One was transmission flushed, the other was a computer reset and it's in the shop again while I wait to figure this one out.
When the key is put inside the ignition, it takes a couple of tries for the engine to start (if at all) after failing multiple times. After it starts, sometimes the engine shuts down completely when I am driving at 30+MPH and when I hit a stop sign/red light! This is very dangerous and needs to be fixed!
I have taking my truck to the dealership 3 times now and still have a starting issue. They replaced the win module and that did not work. They read some codes from it and did nothing. I was making a right hand turn from a light last week and I went to hit the gas and the SUV just stalled. Also the other day I was sitting in line at a drive through and it just went off. It is very hard to get it to start 95% of the time. It takes me 10 to 15 mins every morning to get it started.
Defective tipm. I'm posting these comments shortly after receiving a call from my local dodge service center advising me of the cause of my vehicle not starting. If this is a problem that has been experienced by many chrysler owners (tipm), then I find it shameful that chrysler has not implemented a fix. Fortunately I have an extended warranty to cover the repair, but I dislike having to use it for a known problem. Updated 4/24/2015
Vehicle does not start. And, when it starts it stalls. Totally integrated power module is faulty and does not send electricity to the fuel pump, thus starving the engine. After a month the car is totally unusable.
Vehicle extremely hard to start - can spend over 10 minutes pushing start button with no success. Fuel pump remains on when vehicle is off and parked. I am not comfortable driving this vehicle with these problems, as I can be stranded anywhere when the vehicle won't start.
Tipm module is starting to fail. Vehicle is currently having issues starting.
Car has problems started. But not always.
From the purchase of the durango I have had issues with the key fab not being recognized, not starting, and the rear camera not working. Three weeks ago I put the car in reverse and it started turning over (trying to start again, while on). Since its a push button start I tried to turn it off and tried for about 5 minutes before it finally would go back into park and turn off. I have been in contact with two dealers for the duration of the issue and both have either ignored the problem or charged me to fix something. The most recent was having a "no start situation" where the fuel relay needed to be replaced. Supposedly this was going to fix all my problems. The day after getting the car back, it failed. No start while sitting in front of a customers house. And of course, the three warranty's I have do not cover the issue and since they never "diagnosed" the problem when I brought it in days after purchase I am to pay all out of pocket fees.
When attempting to use the push button ignition to start the vehicle, the vehicle crank over to start and then stutter out or crank to start and get stuck cranking until operator shut it down- sometimes would not shut down immediately but keep stuttering for a short period of time. Upon bringing to dealership, the mechanic identified issues w/ lariant #5 stating need to be replaced with the new style lariant #6. Dealership informed me- not covered under any type of warranty. Why not? What is wrong with lariant #5 that needed to be upgraded to a new version? After researching online, multiple owners of the 2011 durango have reported issues of this same part. An investigation needs to be performed on this faulty part from the factory. Dodge is aware of this safety issue and has done nothing to resolve and no recall has been issued. This has resulted in heavy consumer out of pocket costs for a newer vehicle.
Woke up the day before the fourth of july and got myself and the kids ready to travel out of town. Loaded everyone in the car and the truck wouldn't start. I pushed the button and it acted like it would start but it would never turn over. I tried for twenty minutes and could not get it started. I had to get it towed to the dealership. They first said it was a wiring and it would be couple of days. But then they called back today and said it is the tipm and they are not sure how long it will be because they have to order the part and it will take "awhile" to get it in. This is my only vehicle to get me to work and three kids to all the places they have to be. This is going to be a headache and the price went from 200 dollars to over 1,000 dollars. I could take that and use it on a downpayment for something else. Chrysler is way out of line allowing consumers to deal with a problem that they created.
On saturday morning I attempted to crank my 2011 dodge durango my push start and it tried to crank but would not. I had to remove the push start button and crank the car manually, which took several attempts. After I got it started I had no more trouble that day. On sunday the problem got worse. It again had to remove the remote start botton because the car would continuously try to start without success. When we would get the car started it would immediately die. After several attempts and pressing the gas we were able to get the car started. I began to read online and found that thousands of people are having the same issue and that it is a fualty tipm. I contacted the dodge dealer and have an appointment to take my car in. Not happy!!
My 2011 dodge durango has been having trouble starting over the past few days. It would not start and just kept trying to turn over. Eventually after a few attempts it would start. Then today it started and after I left the house and was driving with my 3yr old in the car, the durango stalled in the middle of the road. Thankfully I was approaching a stop sign so I was not going very fast. It started up again but now tonight it sounds like there is a fan running under my car, and the car is off. I am very concerned about all of the things I have been reading about this issue and I believe this is a huge safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately!!!!
Problems I've seen over the last year that seem to be related to faulty tipm: - failure to detect key - thinks key has left vehicle - remote start disabled - failure to start vehicle - "key battery low" message (key batteries are in fact full charge) - while driving: - battery light comes on (nearly every time the vehicle is driven) - entire dash 'reboots' or resets completely - have had alternator and remote start module replaced (under warranty) - paid to have battery replaced at about 2.5 years into ownership not once has any service person even mentioned tipm.
On june 20, 2014, my dodge durango citadel stalled in traffic at 50 MPH, almost causing a horrible accident. This was the 2nd time it had occurred. I coasted the vehicle to a side street.
While driving 65 MPH on a highway, my durango citadel stalled in traffic, almost creating a horrible accident.
Durango had a difficult time starting, it would take several attempts to start especially after sitting over night or during the work day. Before I could get it to a dealership, the truck failed to start (thankfully I was at home) and we had to have the truck towed to the dealership. After roughly 2 weeks the tipm was replaced/repaired and I picked up the truck on 6/10/14. The truck now starts fine, however, the signal lights do not work, now- and the fog lights flash when the signal lights are supposed to be on! In many cases I have heard this also affects my brake lights!! My legal vehicle is now illegal and not at my own fault but through chrysler/dodge.
The truck don't start is a problem with the push start
My 2011 dodge durango cranks but wont turn over after several tries it would start and after a few days it just wouldn't turn on at all.so I had to call a tow truck to tow it in to dealership.still had extended warranty on my durango so I took it back to dealership and they informed me they would have to replace my tipm and all I had to pay was my deductible.so I picked it up when they fixed it. Drove it home and put about 30 miles on it and my engine light came back on so I called and they had me take it back the next morning now they said it was an ignition coil and expected me to pay my deductible again. After some discussion they waved to fee.and I received my car back after another day in a half. I drove it home and as I got there we noticed the right front turn signal didn't work instead my fog lights would blink so I called dealership and they said they needed some codes to reprogram the turn signal. I had only put about 15 miles on it since I picked it up and my engine light is back on again. So here I go 4th day back to dealership and its so frustrating that no one cares after so many complaints on this part (tipm).I guess they are waiting till someone gets hurt or dies. Like the case with gm and there faulty ignition switch. I was lucky my durango stopped working in my driveway and not on the road cause I have 3 small children and they are always with me.just pray to god that nothing happens to my children.
Car just shut off while pulling out into a busy intersection, would not restart. The starter would engage but it would not start the car...car engine would sputter continuously. Loss of power, and electricity. Almost caused me to get hit from the side while my 2 kids were in back seat!!!!!! The other car slammed on breaks stopping mere inches from the driver-side. A 5 car pile up behind him occurred due to this matter! A gentleman pushed me to the side of the road where I waited for a tow truck. Before the tow truck arrived I researched problems this vehicle only to find that I'm not the only one that has had this happen!!!!! After the car was turned off for a while, I tried to start it and it would start after several attempts and my pumping the gas pedal to keep it at a idle until the engine caught on that it was supposed to be running. I avoided the tow fine but drove my car to the autozone 1/2 mile up the road (same side of the road...too scared to cross intersections). There was no diagnostic code found, which come to find out is also common when the tipm is faulty! Every time 3 out of 5 times I try to start my car I have to go through the same thing. This car is not safe and it needs to be fixed asap. I have a family and a job that need this car to operate efficiently.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. The contact stated that the turning signals would not operate, the vehicle would stall sporadically and the would occasionally fail to accelerate. The vehicle would operate normally once restarted after stalling, but the failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the totally integrated power module had malfunctioned. The vehicle was repaired but the failure was not remedied. The contact also indicated that the rear hatch would independently open and the door locks were also malfunctioning. The contact became locked in the vehicle for 20 minutes before the power door locks became operable. The vehicle was not repaired but was later diagnosed with a 4-wheel low lock switch failure when it rolled downhill while secured in park. The switch was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
Wont start just cranks and wont turn over. If start after sever times lost compression and shut down even driving it. Trembling and shaking when its starts if its starts. Not to able to start,shut off without warnings.
The vehicle started smoking while parked. Vehicle will not start. It was taken to a collision center, but they couldn't figure out what the problem is. The vehicle was later taken to the dodge dealer and they still have not determined the problem or cause. Their guess is that there was a shortage, or problems with the tipm (totally integrated power modules) and they also have not been able to start the vehicle.
Vehicle would not start, would start then it would shut off within a few seconds of being on, this would be repeated several times before the vehicle would stay on and we could drive it. Sometimes it would be fine for the rest of the day, other times it would be a continued problem throughout the same day. This has been ongoing since the first incident back in april 2014 . We notified the dealer the problem still existed, but they did not find a solution. We informed the dealer of problems with the tipm module and that we felt this was the problem, the dealer denied this was the problem and said that the battery was the problem. We are extremely concerned that the fuel line relay remains active and engaged while the vehicle is standing, this could be potentially life threatening if it were to be rear ended or hit by a moving vehicle. We are concerned that our children, anyone in the vehicle could be seriously injured or killed if this were to happen. With hundreds of complaints from consumers with chrysler/dodge vehicles experiencing the very same problem and with a national back order on the very part that needs fixing, we find it unconscionable that there hasn't been a recall!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. The contact stated there were several attempts before the engine would start. The failure was a constant occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000. Rk
I recently purchased a 2011 dodge durango. I love this vehicle. Only problem I have encountered just recent, is the rear AC. For some reason, it will turn to high fan setting and the highest temperature possible. The rear controls are on cool and the fan is set to low. I also have the same settings for the front. I have read different forums online and seen several people talking about this matter. Yesterday my daughter began to cry because the 3rd row was extremely hot from the heater being on. Do you know of chrysler is aware of the possible problem. Please respond if you can assist me.
I was the extremely proud owner of a 2011 dodge durango. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned. On january 11, 2014 while on our way home with our (2) children, we were heading down a mountain coming into a turn. It was foggy that night and unsure if there was ice on the road I was driving a maximum speed of 20 miles an hour. I drive this road every day, as I have for the past 25 years. When I started to apply my brakes, they locked up/grabbed at which point we started to gain speed and went directly into a guard rail ultimately totaling my vehicle. I thank all that is good in this world that no one was seriously injured, but extremely terrified and thankful that we were not going any faster. This was the worst night of my life as we stood in the middle of the night a long the road waiting for help. The psp did not show up for about 2 hours and once the tow truck got there we had to wait even longer. I have to ask myself if knowing about the possibility of brake corrosion may have prevented this accident. I know vehicles are replaceable, but as I said this was the best vehicle that I have ever had and I miss it to this day.
June of 2013, engine start problems, crank and no start, or crank and run very rough -- sever misfires. Complained to dealer, no codes, so they say no problem. Problem became more severe, recorded video and audio of the problem on my phone. Also had issue with sirius/xm loosing all station presets, and the vehicle would loose connection with the key fob. Could be power issue. They opted to replace the fuel pump with no diagnostics to confirm that this would correct the problem. After the fuel pump was replaced took the vehicle home, next morning it would crank and not start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, eventually the tipm (totally integrated power module) was replaced. At least one issue with the tipm has been substandard solid state relays inside the module. This fundamental flaw has seemed to cause a flood of problems across the chrysler product line with a wide range of symptoms. Due to the wide range of symptoms, very poor built in diagnostics, and the inability or unwillingness of service departments to properly diagnose problems, this has LED to under reporting of tipm issue. Please ask for data from chrysler regarding tipm replacements for model years since its introduction. I still have intermittent problem with engine starting and running very rough (severe misfires), no codes along other electrical problems. This vehicle is not safe if the systems of this vehicle do not operate properly and in unison. The tipm is an achilles heel that poses a significant danger to drivers and the motoring public.
