    Went to start my 2011 dodge durango citadel.... It would not start. It has 62000 miles on it. Had it towed and was told it was the tipm module. It would cost 1250. Not covered under my warranty. I found out that a lot of these cars are having the same problem. Called chrysler they have washed their hands of it. They did give me a case number in case it does get enough complaints and then they will recall it.…

    We attempted to start our vehicle, but the engine would not start. After several minutes vehicle started but stuttered, as if their was no fuel going to the engine. There had been no engine or service lights at the time. I researched the issue online and found that many durango and cherokee owners have experienced similar issues, and the cause was the tipm. I took my vehicle to the dealership and they tested it, and…

    This vehicle has been to the dealership 4 times for the same issue, failure to start. The starter would crank, the fuel pump would work, it just would not turn over. The first time they replaced the battery. The second time they said they could not find a problem. The third time the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. They said the battery was drained. They charged it and it tested fine. It still had issues…

    Tipm module faulty. Vehicle hard starts when cold. Not covered under chrysler 100000 mile extended warranty. Almost all 2011 - 2012 jeeps/dodges affected. This is bogus and needs to be recalled! *tr

    The issue started with intermittent issues when starting the vehicle (the vehicle would crank, but never turn over) in addition to other problems such as random puttering while driving and the horn going off for no apparent reason. On the date that the vehicle had to be towed to a dodge dealer, i was unable to get the vehicle to start at all. The dealership's service department discovered that the issues were due to…

    As of today october 6th, 2014 i am unable to drive my 2011 dodge durango. Since the beginning of august it has not wanted to start. It will crank like it wants to but nothing. The fuel pump will continue to run even after the car has shut off, draining my battery completely. Last week i was driving down the road at 40 mph and the car completely shut off. I lost all power, steering and breaking ability. Once i…

    The initial indication of a problem was the vehicles inability to start (usually took 3-4 tries). Once it started the first time it would shutter then shut off again. Finally starting okay after several stumbling starts. It would randomly cut off while driving (makes the power brakes and steering very difficult to handle). The final time was when the transmission would not go back into drive (or park). It would act…

    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,…

    On july 30th, 2014 my wife went shopping and when she came out the car was running. I asked her if she was sure she shut it off. She said yes. Then a few day's later we went to eat and upon trying to start the car to leave it would not start. It said press start. It did and nothing. After several attempts it started with the security alarm going off. I shut off and re-started and all appeared ok. Today august 27,…

    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.…

    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…

    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. *tr

    The problem first manifested itself in an occasional difficulty starting the vehicle, typically after it sat overnight. Upon pressing the start button the starter would engage but the engine would not start. Pressing the start button again to stop the cranking and then re-pressing the button would get the engine to start. Weeks would sometimes go by without the problem recurring. Around the middle of july 2014 the…

    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! *js

Thankfully she was near a church and was able to coast into the parking lot.
