    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…

    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…

    Vehicle began on occasion, to not start, to shut down after starting and for the fuel pump to continue to run after the car was shut down causing the battery to be run down. It has been determined to be a failed tipm unit at the cost of $963.04 for a vehicle that is 3 years old. The dealer ship is aware of the issues however chrysler hotline said they are unaware of any problems and will not cover the part. *tr

    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…

    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. *tr

    Our vehicle had it's first non-start in june 2014. It has continued on for months, at random intervals. Our durango now won't start by using the push start or by using the key in the ignition. I am seeing a trend online of tipm issues and class action suits. I am assuming this is our issue. It is currently at the dealership. *tr

    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…

    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. *tr

    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…

    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…
