Vehicle had problems starting earlier in the day. Aprox 3am neighbors knocked on our windows saying it was on fire. Fire dept put fire out which started in engine compartment. Total loss.

Tipm was replaced and vehicle started to do the same similar things, however, this time it locked my 9 yr. Old daughter in the vehicle with it running and the key fob was in the vehicle. She had to unbuckle and let me in. The electrical system still has a mind of its own, stalls in road at different speeds, also while driving it acts like the engine is shutting off then it comes back, and continues this procedure a few times until it finally comes back to life. 4low has not properly worked ever, and is a danger when in an emergency situation, and you need it. They say they have redesigned the 4low, evidentially there are problems with it. The dealership, sheets, says there's nothing wrong with the part again.vehicle starts and dies, stalls in road, acts like it's going to stall and comes back, controls inside vehicle do whatever they want to do when they want to. Front signal light keeps blowing, and will not take a bulb, it blows them out every time, so when blinker is turned on the fog lights flash up front, like hazard flashers. The back passenger bulb has been replaced many times, and for now they are the only signals working, except for the ones on the mirrors. Fuel pump stays on sometimes after vehicle is shut off. Basically the vehicle is still a danger to anyone inside it, and to anyone on the road, due to the fact that it can cause an accident at any given time. The vehicle locked up in 4low/tow-haul mode, and then the entire transmission locked up. Had to come home approx. 1-2 miles at a very low speed, with hazard lights on, and then had to coast in driveway because the transmission had no gears, and locked up. Dodge really needs to recall this. If they designed this vehicle correctly the first time none of the maintenance would be necessary, and we would not have had to call dodge so many times. If the problem was not recurring the issue would be resolved.
While driving 35 MPH the battery light illuminated, the dashboard lights started going on and off, and the windshield wipers activated. The car then lost all power, acceleration, and power steering. The car was towed to my mechanic who diagnosed a failed alternator. After the alternator was replaced, the car still would not function properly. The car then had to be towed to the nearest dealer who diagnosed a powertrain control module failure(PCM). The PCM was on backorder but part was received 1 week later. The PCM had to be replaced and reprogrammed. Dodge refuses to take responsibility for the alternator that failed due to the faulty PCM.
Tipm failure. Vehicle will not start. Dodge refuses any assistance with repair of over $1200. Class action lawsuit by [xxx] has been started. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tried to start vehicle and it would not start and the smell of burn wiring this happen several times. I seen the check engine appear and disappear I thought maybe oxygen sensor, or loose wire. So during the holidays november the vehicle cease to start and the vehicle radio and air bag light continue to operate off and on. I contacted a dealer who stated that they would work on the vehicle after the holiday january 9 2014 but change it to the 21 of january so I contacted chrysler dodge corp and they gave me a case number and I stated that others had the same problem and was there a recall. They sent me to the stealership to get it check out. They stated that it would take them a while to check it out one day and they said they fixed the problem (tip module) and that I should pay for it and if not they will charge me 45 dollars a day if I did not pick it up. I stated that I am waiting for the dodge corp to help with the bill. They then stated they are not going to help and if I don't pay they will enforce their extra monies for having it there. I thought they wanted customers not chase them away. Go fiat.
2011 dodge durango... Trouble starting. We purchased it new in march of 2011. We have been having this problem since june 2013. It takes 8-15 tries to get the car started. It keeps getting worse. My car also has a "fan sound" after it is turned off. It runs down the battery and battery dies everyday.
Vehicle has difficulty starting and will just continue to crank but not start. It takes several tries to get it to start. It seems to be the tipm module.
Vehicle is having issues starting, either by remote start or by pushing the start button. There have been many documented cases of this on the 2011 model year. All have been attributed to the failure of the "totally integrated control module" ticm. Contacted the dealership they say it is not under warranty and there is no recall for it either. The dealership states repairs have to be paid by me.
The vehicle would not start. The engine would turn over but there was either no fuel or ignition spark. Continued to try to start the vehicle but refused to start. After about 6 - 8 minutes of trying, it started. The vehicle started every time after that but the next morning it refused to start. Again after 6 - 8 minutes of trying, it started and started each time for the rest of the day. This repeated itself each day. The dealer diagnosed it as the "totally integrated control module" failed.
Vehicle having issues cranking, takes awhile to get it started, stalls out while driving.
About 2 months ago (at around 50000 miles), I started experiencing problems with starting the vehicle. If I used the push button, it would just keep trying to turn over but wouldn't start. I removed the button, thinking that may have something to do with it but it didn't help the problem has continued to get worse, and today, it took approximately 20 tries turning the key to finally get it to start. For a few days I was able to start it by remotely starting it, but now that doesn't work either. About two weeks ago, I did take it to the dodge/chrysler/jeep dealer where it was purchased and who has performed all maintenance on the car since its purchase. They could not get it to "act up" but guessed that it is the tipm and quoted me $1,067 to repair/replace. I was told the part itself was $800. I was also told that chrysler was working on some sort of by-pass that should be available in march 2014, and will be much cheaper. Based on the fact that every day starting gets more problematic, there is no way I can wait until march to repair the vehicle. Every day I wonder if this is the day it won't start at all. On the other hand, from what I'm reading online, it appears I probably can't get the part anyway, because there are apparently so many orders for this part, that it is on back order and people are waiting months to get the part. I live rurally and have to have a reliable vehicle. I had a 2000 durango that never had any problems like this and was the main reason I bought this one. "bought" - meaning I still have over 3 years of payments left, and am facing major repair bills as well, which I can't afford. Disappointed is a very polite word for how I'm feeling right now. *tr the consumer referenced recall # 14v530000. She is seeking reimbursement for the replacement of the tipm. Updated 02/04/15
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. The contact stated that the instrument panel lights intermittently failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the total integrated power module had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The past 2 months, my vehicle has been given me problems starting engine- I turn key to start and it just cranks! In october, I brought to dodge dealership and they told me it needed a "software update"- that didn't do anything. It randomly starts when it wants! Then the past week it got really bad- not starting at all! Black friday left to shop early in morning- wouldn't start, so took husband's truck- got back at noon- tried again car started- so me and my little girl went into town- stop at traffic red light- then light turned green- pressed gas to go and nothing happened!!!! My car randomly just turned off at light! As cars honked for me to go I hurried and put car in park and prayed for it to crank- it did- and drove straight to dealership- again they said it was an software update! Well its sunday and my vehicle is at my mom's because it won't start at all! I'm reading a lot of complaints of ticm- that is backordered- I will call dealer tomorrow - I really love my durango and hope it can be fixed.
The 2011 durango wont start. A bad totally integrated power module. Over 800 on back ordered. Seems to be a serious problem and should be recalled and replaced by chrysler.
My vehicle (2011 dodge durango) started to not turn over when going to start. It almost felt like there was no gas getting to through. It eventually started after 3 tries. The next morning it was worse and took 5 tries for it to eventually start. After taking it to a dodge dealership the told me it was the fuel pump and I would need two new pumps. I decided to take the vehicle to my local mechanic. He informed me it was actually the totally integrated power module (tipm). When I went back to the dealership to inform them they misdiagnosed the problem and it was the tipm, they informed me that there was a 700+ waiting list to get this unit, would cost $1200 and it would likely take 2-3 months to get it. No help was extended in the form of a loaner car or helping pay for a rental. When this happened I actually had a 2014 durango in the process of being built but they still did not offer any help. I told my local mechanic about the back order on then tipm. He then took the tipm out and sent to his component guy. He ordered some parts and soldered them on the existing tipm. This took a week to finish and is working without problem for a cost of $400. Why dodge chooses not have somebody repair the actual tipm leads me to believe its not an honest dealing.
Vehicle would hesitate to start, after several tries it would start. On 11/11/13 when the cruise control was set it accelerated by itself. I was trying to start it on 11/12/13 and 11/13/13, when it finally started it accelerated to 4 1/2 RPM, so drove it to the dealership and I was told it was the tipm, which isnt available, but there are parts to correct the problem. One part would be available in 4 business days and the wiring part won't be available until 12/24/2013 estimated. This id such an inconvenience!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact also stated that the wipers erroneously activated, and the climate controls and dashboard lights failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the alternator and battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Incident date start: 11/02/2013. The vehicle would not start. The engine would turn over but there was either no fuel or ignition spark. Continued to try to start the vehicle but refused to start. After about 6 to 8 minutes of trying it started. The vehicle started every time after that but the next morning it refused to start. Again after 6 to 8 minutes of trying, it started and started each time for the rest of the day. This repeated itself each day. The dealer diagnosed it as the "totally integrated control module" failed.
Having problems with push start button and remote start with keyfob.....at times car cranks but it doesn't turn on. Have to try many times before it turns on.
The vehicle failed to start. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle sporadically stalls without warning. Suv was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle is at dealership without an eta on repair. Part is on back order. Vehicle has 36800 miles.

The vehicle will not start sometimes. Took vehicle in to dealership, and it did not act the way it did on me. So they updated the software, the very next day the vehicle would not start regularly. It would make a noise like it was not getting enough gas to the stater. Took vehicle the dealership, then was told it was the tipm (totally integrated power module). This item is not covered under warranty. This is currently our only mode of transportation. It is the family vehicle, used also for work. The dealership told us that it would cost at least $1,000 to have it fixed. However, I purchased this vehicle least year in october, this should not be happening on vehicle owned less then a year. Now the part for the vehicle is not available and I have a useless vehicle sitting in my driveway and can't drive or move it. This should be on recall!!!!!! And consumers should be reimbursed for their suffering from chrysler. I think that it is time that the media beware of the raw deal consumers are getting from chrysler. When my fiance drove it to work it stalled on her, completely shut down. She could have been seriously injured!!!!

On 10/24/2013 I started the car with the key fob by the time I reached the vehicle it was off this had happened before when I had less than 1/4 of gas so I thought nothing of it. Drove to work the morning of the 25th just fine got ready to go to lunch and the post office used the key fob to remote start by the time I got to the car it was off when I attempted to start it would not start continued to make a sound as if it was still trying to start. I filled the tank mind you on my way to work so I knew it wasn't the lack of gas at this point. I had to have it towed during my lunch break to the dealer who called a few hours later to inform me it was the tipm (totally integrated power module) which would cost $1,230 not including labor. Oh the catch is the part is on back order and he will not know when it will get here until he places the order. I questioned the fact that this was a rare part and if any recalls had been issued as my warranty just ran just reached 41k warranty expired at 35k. He said not just with durango's but also with other dodge models said he wouldn't know when part would arrive until he placed the order. Well I can see now I need to expect the worst. This should be a nationwide recall.
The vehicle just died while driving in a parking lot loss of power to everything including steering and brakes. It was restarted and driven to where we were staying. The next morning it would not start after many attempts. We had it towed to the nearest dodge dealer where we eventually learned it was the tipm module . We also learned that this problem could be a dangerous one. We were also informed that this part is on eternal back order leaving us stranded 12 hours from home with a car full of kids. Dodge needs to make this right!!! I am not sure I will feel safe driving this vehicle now that I know this is a real common problem!
It began when the car would crank and not start several times before actually starting. I took it in (figuring at some point it would just not start at all and leave me stranded) and they said they couldn't duplicate it and sent me home. It started doing it again, so I took it back in and they reflashed something or other and sent me on my way. The reflash did not fix the problem, but I did not take it back in, figuring I would leave with the same result. Finally, the car died on me while I was driving it, with my small children in the car. No power brakes, no power steering. I was able to pull over to the side of the road safely. Thankfully I was not going terribly fast and there were no other cars around. I took it back in again, and they told me it needed a new tpim. After speaking with dodge, this is apparently a common problem in the '11 durangos. The new tpim was installed, however, for some reason, activating the right turn signal now flashes the fog lights. According to the service department, this is due to a second faulty tpim.
Vehicle stalled while turning off 4-lane and traffic began to come which had to stop until vehicle started again. Wipers, lights, and radio clock not functioning correctly, basically all electrical has not functioned correctly at one time or another. Vehicle will not start, also continuously cranks for10 seconds an shuts down, has also started an immediately died. Fan sound running under back seat, thought was possible tire going flat. Automatic start will not work at times. Going 55mph on highway and engine died. Very very dangerous vehicle to drive!!!!! Part is supposed to be tipm total integrated power module, and be here in 2-3 days.
I took my vehicle to the dodge dealer and was told that my car could not crank because of a bad tipm module. Well that was a month ago, as I was told the part was on back order and would be here october 20th. Well that date came and passed and now I am told the part will not be available until november 19th. As I am a customer who is supported dodge I am beginning to have second thoughts and will keep this in mind when I purchase another vehicle. I cannot believe that there is not a national recall because of the numerous customers that are awaiting this particular part. We need help from someone as my car will sit for at least 2 months.
On september 29th the vehicle had trouble starting and would die when you put it in drive. My wife was out of town and the vehicle died while going through in intersection. She was able to get to her parents and after doing some research on line I found the vehicle had the same symptoms as many others with a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module). Dodge confirmed it was a bad tipm and the part was replaced by dodge though not covered by warranty it took two weeks for the part to arrive and the total cost for repairs was almost $1200.00.
The vehicle will not start, it cranks for a long time, then needs to be restarted 5 times plus before it starts, occasionally stalling out, before finally starting. This has been going on since 9/18/13. At times it leaves something running in the back of the vehicle by the fuel pump, even when the vehicle is turned off. Brought to the dealer on 9/23/13 and they found the problem to be the tipm (totally integrated power module), which is on a restricted backorder with no eta. We were told to pick up the vehicle and bring it back when the part comes in. My wife is 9 months pregnant and this is our family vehicle, which is unreliable. To make it worse the vehicle stalled going through an intersection the other day, when I was driving with my 1 year old in the backseat, and we were almost hit, luckily there was an angel looking over us, and the other vehicle stopped just in time. I have tried to reach out to dodge customer service about this, and they are not willing to pay for a loaner/rental and they can give no eta on the part, as there is a couple thousand on backorder. My family and dodge got lucky in this situation, but something needs to be done before this occurs again to someone else, and someone is injured or killed.
Battery light came on. Made an appointment for service. Never made appointment date. A/c went out, airbag light came on, radio stopped, lights flashed, windshield wipers started. Car stalled out while driving 30 MPH, lost power steering. No crash, rolled to a safe stopping area. Car was towed to dealer. Dealer said the car needed new battery. New battery was installed but check battery light was still on. After more testing, dealer said alternator needed to be replaced. New alternator was installed, but battery light was still on. Dealer put calls to chrysler. Chrysler said possible bad new alternator replace with another new alternator suggested. New alternator replaced but same thing still happened, check battery light still on. After more calls to chrysler, new PCM ( powertrain control module) suggested to be installed. Pcm was replaced as warranty part, no check battery light. Total cost of about $1,000.00 for out of warranty parts. With in a week car was not starting, would crank but engine would not start or it would start and then stall out, car would finally start after 20 mins. Of trying to start car. This happened several times. Took car back to dealer. Software update was done. Still had starting issues, and running issues. After more calls to chrysler they now believe the issue is a tipm (totally integrated power module). Tipm is on a national back order with no known release/ expected availability date. Chrysler will warranty the tipm part. Car now sits at the dealer for almost 30 days and no one has any estimate as to a fix date. Now waiting on a case manager to contact about this issue and possible rental car and refund for replaced parts. Sending off paper work for lemon law. Chrysler should issue recall but obviously will not due to lack of inventory in tipm parts.
