I have a 2012 dodge durange rt. When parked at a gas station, tried to turn engine on with push start switch and engine does not start. When pushing start switch again it makes the sound like the engine is trying to turn over but does nothing. In order to get the engine to stop from making the turn over noise I have to move from park to in gear. Then I receive the "ignition or accessory on" message. In order to get the message clear I have to turn off vehicle without pressing the brake. This puts the engine into the off mode and I have to start the process to get the car to start all over again. This has happened multiple occasions and I have video to show the defect. I have done research and read this issue with many people saying it is the tipm defect. Also, when using my right blinker instead of the front blinker working my fog lights flash. For the vehicle to not start or stall is a big safety concern and liability.

Our 2012 dodge durango r/t was purchased brand new as a replacement for lemon law buy back of our 2009 dodge journey. The durango is plagued with design flaws. The most obvious is the tipm total integrated module. The failure of this module resulting in our vehicle catching fire. The vehicle cranks but does not start at times, other times when it starts it dies in the street. While taking it to the dealership for repairs they would not repair it and another dealer denied the repairs. The only loaner I was placed in was a brand new durango with the plastic still covering the seats, floor etc. The brand new loaner also contained a faulty tipm. We didn't even have the loaner a day because the lights were bright lighting everyone, alarm was going off driving down the road, radio was crackling, the instrument panel was flashing. Our durango contains all of these issues; left and right rear tail light assemblies are dead, both front struts are blown leaking, spraying fluid under the vehicle onto the frame and brake(s), line(s), transmissions is leaking, high engine oil consumption. Our durango is still under factory warranty, plus a platinum extended warranty. While our vehicle is covered under an extended warranty they will not pay for a rental car because the tipm is national backordered part. Please.... You have to recall this vehicle before others are injured or killed!

There has been more than one incident date on this issue. I just entered the last time it has happened. When going to start my vehicle it starts, than automatically stalls. I have had this happen over 6 times in the last 2 months. I have read countless reports of other chrysler vehicles having this same issue...with the tipm. How there is a national back order and people's cars have been in shops for over a month. Chrysler needs to issue a recall and get this problem fixed!
