I bought a 2011 dodge durango in october of 2013. There have since been several recalls, all took some time to resolve because there were part shortages on both occasions. The most recent problem that has yet to be officially termed a recall because chrysler claims they are still "researching" the issue involves a faulty ignition wiring harness. This defect prevents the proper communication between the ignition and…

My wife had problems starting the durango on tuesday morning 9/16. My wife repeatly tried to restart the vehicle. When it would finally crank, it would sputter and die. If you tried to give it gas the accelerator would go all the way to the floor without the engine revving. After several more attempts it finally started and she was able to make it to work without any problems. As she left work the same problem…

This is the known issue with tipm failure, the car just stalled and lost all power and would not start back up. The engine would turn just fine when starting but would not start. Had it towed to my regular mechanic and he let me know today that it is the tipm which is currently unavailable with long wait times. *tr

Durango will not start. Just purchased it a couple months ago and i have been stranded several times because it will not turn over. Have to take to a dodge dealer and have it looked at, which the closest dealer is hours from me. Apparently a recall has been issued but has not been released so i can not go get it fixed. Very upset with dodge!! *tr

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…

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
