Ignition Module problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the vehicle was at stand still and starting the ignition, when the windshield wiper turned on independently and hazard warning light were illuminated. The contact stated he tried to jump the battery with jumping cables but failed to function. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to independent mechanic and was informed the tipm module was needing to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to local dealer hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram virginia beach located at 3152 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452, where it was diagnosed with needing tipm module to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The contact's VIN was associated to NHTSA campaign number: 17v435000 (electrical system), however the dealer informed that prior the recall remedy the timp was needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 118,000. Dp.

Vehicle does not always start the first time but stalls at random intervals. When the issue first started occurring, 2-3 times of pushing the ignition the vehicle would fire up. Now it takes 20-30 pushes before vehicle starts. Lately, I'm the last one to leave the parking lot. I recently called the dealership and inquired about the Chrysler p54 recall. "in the affected vehicles, the fuel-pump relay inside the totally integrated power module may fail, causing the vehicle to stall without warning. " I was told that my vehicle VIN does not qualify for the recall. I have a 2011 Dodge Durango with the 3. 6 l engine. My vehicle is stalling and the problem is getting worse.

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, as well as other Chrysler models using the same module. The danger that a defective tipm presents is quite significant, especially to those who use their SUV to transport their small children. It is incredibly unsafe to not address the faulty nature of a system that controls the electrical stimulus of a vehicle, and could potentially deploy airbags in a non life threatening scenario or stall the engine, or present another defect at an inopportune time that would result in injury. The auditing of these defective systems should be a priority and I most definitely do not feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle, given the high volume of complaints against the electrical and tipm system. Chrysler has a responsibility to investigate these issues and rectify the problems that their negligence has presented to trusting consumers. I thought the automotive industry realized that safety over profits was of monumental importance, not only for their profit margin but for their reputation. I'm pretty sure no one has forgotten the Ford pinto, it is a prime example in all business management literature of how not to operate in an ethical manner. Chrysler is openly neglecting the responsibility they have to provide a reliable product to their consumer, as proved by my inquires to their organization. Tipm is defective, it needs to be replaced on a mass scale, and Chrysler ignores the potential and actual damages.

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.
