general problems of the 2011 Dodge Durango - part 2

While driving on a main road and slowing to turn, my car has stalled on me 3 different times, the last time being today 8/9/16.

Radio started going off and on once the car was parked started smoking under hood and then would not start at all had to have it towed to a garage. Garage alternator caught on fire order new alternator also it ruined the battery new battery put in still would not start had to take it to a Dodge dealer now I have a bill for $1500. 00 I have trying to pay as much as I could afford each week but not getting far I need something,I really need my car back.

My vehicle push to start system sticks and the vehicle takes long attempting to start. My vehicle while driving has gone dead on me although the dash is still lite radio playing. The steering wheel stiffens and the brakes get hard. I have to struggle to pull over and stop in order to place the car back in neutral or park in order to start it again. It has stalled while in motion, while slowing down for a red light, while making a turn. I have had several near misses of other cars, curbs, and ditches. I use this car every day to transport myself and my children. I have had this car to the dealership numerous times, have had the tipm bypass and the car still hard starts and stalls despite the recalls. I am totally disappointed with this situation that is a definite hazard. Most recent complaint, my car has be idling high and now finally it overheat and the water pump has to be replaced. I am totally disappointed.

Vehicle stalled while driving approx. 30 mph on 2-way road while approaching a turn. All power stopped. Was able to brake and turn just enough to avoid collision. At stop had to put into park in order to restart vehicle. Coincidentally, just rec'd info in mail tipm safety recall.

The car will crank but will not start. When pressing the push to start button it turns over like its going to start but will not start. After taking it to the dealership for recall work it has the same re-occuring issue. Dodge says that it was fixed but I now have to take it to an independant repair shop to pay out of pocket for a known issue with this vehicle. This is a common problem with this make and model and should be paid for and fixed by mopar and not the customer!.

My vehicle is subject to recall number 14v-530 dated September 3, 2014. I was never notified despite having my vehicle serviced at the dealership on multiple occasions. I recently contacted both the dealership and manufacturer and have been informed the part is not available despite the manufacturers recall website stating it is. I am concerned to be driving in a vehicle with a potentially life threatening defect.

While driving, the car will abruptly speed up and slow down without any pressure or change in movement on the gas pedal. This has happened numerous times since about early 2012. I had a repair done on the car by the dealership as part of my warranty now these problems have made a reappearance. Along side sudden speed changes without me touching anything, I have had two previous incidents of the car (while driving!) turning on all error indicators (check engine light, high beam, hazard lights, tire pressure etc) and wiper blades simultaneously. These were very scary incidents, too scared to drive to the dealership I returned to my house (went to drop my son off to get a hair cut) and called the dealership in which my vehicle was towed the next day. I have also had problems with the fob technology in the keyless start of the car where I would put my purse in the back seat of the car, close the door and all doors lock and will not unlock, then I have to once again call the dealership and wait for them to assist me. One of the main reason I bought this car is because I was assured keys locked in the car would never happen, however I have had it happen to me more than all my other cars in the past. Now I have a small child with me and along side these recent reoccurrence of serious issues with my car and big recall by fca, no longer do I feel safe driving.

I was driving the SUV in about 30 degree weather attempting to enter the highway when I lost almost all engine power simultaneously the check engine light tripped. Luckily there were no vehicles behind me, I was able to make it to the next exit. The code tripped was : po6dd mod $00 engine oil pressure control circuit performance/stuck off. Is this safe? and do the electrical issues with the other modules have any effect on this?.

I have received 3 recalls notifications and only one its taken care off iaw dealer - ferman Dodge in sr54, tampa FL. I received a p60, p45 and p50 or p54 don't have the recall doc with me. The dealer is stalling on getting the parts according to them. But, I bet its a paying customer that comes with same problem and the parts I bet it will appear very quick. On 12. 25. 2014, I was going at 45 mph and suddenly and the speed slowed down and had to pull to the side, turn off the car and start it again, a verify scary moment with family in the car. Its been now 2 months since I mentioned to them the car is suffering of long cranks. Have to play with ignition to get it to start. The car only have 51+k miles and should not have this happen. Need to get this issue resolved or I will keep pushing to the top to get my car fixed.

I tried for 7 months to get the brake recall done on my truck. The awd did not work as it should during a snow storm. . Then the recall was recieved and none of the dealers wanted to repair the recall. They kept telling me they hadnt received the parts. Then there was a fuel type recall, a recall that the engine could shut off and some electrical issue that could cause a fire. . Again I couldnt get any of these repaired. Then on the night before thanksgiving 2014 my heat went. On Friday 11/28/14 I tried 3 Chrysler dealer ships to get the heat fixed and schedule time for the recall. One dealership told me I was at the bottom of the list because I didnt purchase the truck from them. I ended up trading in the truck for a Nissan pathfinder on that day. And almost a month later I received a bill from a Chrysler dealer ship who had finally completed the recall work expecting 165. 00 from me. I am so financially ruined from this.

My Durango started having problems starting. The starter would continue but the vehicle wouldn't start. This started around October 1st, 2014. After a couple of weeks the problem started getting worse and then after starting it would shut off. After several attempts at this the vehicle would run. The problem has been getting worse every day. On 11-3-14 I received a recall notice for the tipm. I called my Dodge dealer and was advised that there is nothing that they could do for me at this time as the parts don't exist. I then called the Chrysler group recall assistance center. They told me to take it to another dealer or to an independent dealer and have it fixed at my own expense. I could send them the receipts to be reimbursed. I again called my Dodge dealer who said that they could replace the tipm, which would cost over $1,000 out of my pocket. That was the only recourse they had for the time being. I don't think that it is fair at all that Chrysler wants me to pay over $1,000 out of my own pocket to fix their problem and wait to be reimbursed, which will take over 60 days or even at all.

My car started having trouble turning on and staying on. Eventually, after several attempts it would turn on. I took it to the dealer planet Dodge (worse service ever) to be told that the vehicle is under the recall for the fuel relay pump (tipm). The part is being manufactured by Chrysler which they are planning to fix it by adding a part but not replacing the tipm. In the recall it says the part required is not available yet. Upset I contacted Chrysler to be told to either drive the vehicle like that which can shut off and cause a crash without warning or pay $1,000 to replace the tipm. Now, what upsets me is that they do not care at all whether you drive the car or not and/or if you crash and to be reimbursed Chrysler has to changed the tipm (which they won't) and since they won't we will not be reimbursed. It is frustrating how they so nicely tell you to drive the car even though they know it can shut off without warning. Don't fall for the "refund" talk, they will not refund it!!!!.

Over the past 2 weeks our Durango has had issues with starting. When using the push start button the engine will crank over multiple times and never start. Sometmes vehicle will start and other times it can take over 20 attempts to start. In one incident it took 34 time to start and even cause black smoke to come up from under the hood. From research with Chrysler corporate and the local dealer, they are aware of the problem. We took the vehicle into the local dealership for an assessment and we were told that the problem had to do with the tipm/fuel relay system. We were told they could not fix it because they didnt have parts to remedy the issue and that they hadnt received a recall notice from Chrysler corporate. From my research it apperas the recall number is p54. Yesterday, on 10/28/2014 while driving on a major road at 50mph the vehicle with two children in the back seat completely stalled and died. Luckily I was able to pull over to the shoulder and we are blessed we werent in a major accident or killed. I contacted Chrysler corporate and local dealer immediately and again was told they could do nothing about it. Not a loaner vehicle, not replacement of part at full cost. . Absolutely nothing. This is completely unacceptable and when you put my childrens lives at stake it becomes personal. The vehicle is now parked in the garage because we fear for our lives. Please help.

Vehicle engine would start with use of ignition button, then vehicle engine would shut off with out warning. At this time vehicle will not re-start with use of ignition button. Vehicle would just engage starter motor and not fire engine with use of ignition button. Starter would run on until button is pushed to engage the off position, with a no start condition. After several cycles of the ignition button vehicle engine will finally start and stay running. Problem is reoccurring often. This is absolutely unexceptable for any vehicle and the safety of its occupants. This can lead to loss off control of vehicle, possible collision and loss of life, at high speeds on the crowded interstates, or moderate speeds on small town streets.

Driving with my family to church on rucker avenue in everett washington at a speed of approximately 35 miles per hour. The engine stalled and car lost power. Was able to safely pull to the side of the road. Same thing happened a week later while driving on colby avenue in everett. The car had been having difficulty starting, it would crank over but not start. On October 1'st I took the car to dwayne lanes in everett, they told they had fixed the problem. The car still did not start and the problem remains. Took the car back to dwayne lanes and informed them that the car was stalling while driving. They commented that the part was on back order and subject to a recall (p54/NHTSA 14v-530). Dwayne lanes advised that they did not know when the part would be in and suggested that I take the vehicle back and utilize it until the part came in. I informed dwayne lanes that I would not be driving a car that loses power at random times on public roads. I informed dwayne lanes that this would put my safety at risk as well as everyone else on the road. Dwayne lanes informed me that there is nothing they can do. The car has 32,000 miles on it, and is still under warranty. Have contacted Chrysler, tempe Dodge, and dwayne lanes, as well as insurance. No person will provide a loaner vehicle, or an estimate of when the car will become drivable again.

Vehicle will start sometimes after multiple attempts and then shut back off. Dealership agreed faulty tipm is the cause and Chrysler is aware of the issue. My VIN is not included in a recall for the issue, so I had to pay $1200 out of pocket to repair.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact had coasted over to an emergency lane and restarted the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted the engine,abs and brake warning lights were continuously illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis and the dealer stated that the totally integrated power module had failed. The contact had then received NHTSA campaign numbers:14v530000(fuel system), 14v391000(electrical system) and 14v154000(service brakes , service brakes, hydraulic) and stated that the parts were unavailable. The dealer was uncertain when the parts would become available. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and the approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Gb.

Luckily I was driving in a non-congested area in a 35 mph zone when my 2011 Dodge citadel lost power and shut off. I was able to pull of the road and it restarted after cranking for a while. Starting seems to be a problem on some mornings. The vehicle will crank and crank then after repeated attempts it will fire. This vehicle has a 5. 7l v8 if that matters. I'm worried I might lose power on the highway. . Read more...

Vehicle would not start after sitting for an hour. The car also did not run very well while driving. Dealer is saying it is a faulty tipm which controls the electrical features of the vehicle.

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 fuel systems, which results in a vehicle that has problems starting or won't start altogether. My vehicle falls under the latter category as it is currently stuck in my driveway. I called my local dealer and they are well aware of the problem, but there is a nationwide backorder for parts to correct the issue and Chrysler corporation is dragging their feet in declaring it a recall, presumably trying to avoid bad publicity. In the meantime, I'm stuck with an useless vehicle, and Chrysler corp refused to provide a rental vehicle when I called them on 13 oct 2014 because they didn't know when the parts would be available. They also refused to provide anything in writing stating that they keep their own records. The only thing they claimed to be able to do is provide a an email when the parts became available, for which they could provide no estimate. Their conclusion appears to be that it is perfectly acceptable to sell a vehicle that can be rendered inoperable through their own negligence or poor manufacturing practices within 3 years. As an active duty service member an unreliable vehicle is not an acceptable option.

Vehicle will not start after multiple attempts from inside drivers compartment using push button on dash. However, vehicle will start using remote key fob.

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 occured turn the key nothing, turn the key nothing, take the key out, turn the key, it cranks and then shuts off. After going through the same routine over and over we finally got it to crank. We decided to have the car battery tested and it passed. We got a new battery for the remote but that didn't solve the problem. We finally took our Durango to the local dealership the next day 9/17 knowing they were going to charge $100 diagnostic fee. We explained the problem and even took the service man to the vehicle and it would not start. So he actually observed the issue. 2hrs later they call saying a problem could'nt be found. The test didn't produce a code. Ok, so we spent $100 dollars on a diagnostic test with no diagnosis. As we picked up the vehicle I asked the service man if they had seen this problem before and of course his answer was no. He suggested it was probably a communication problem. Well duh, something wasn't communicating. He tells us to make sure all doors, including the rear hatch are closed before starting. Not what I was expecting for $100. Well, he may have been telling the truth but I am not a mechanic and since then I have researched the problem and found many complaints regarding the faulty tipm. I ageee with others who have filed a complaint. Chrysler is aware of this problem and are refusing to take ownership. What will it take, death or a serious injury? I want my family safe. No amount of money can replace loved ones!.

I initially bought the 2011 Dodge Durango from gillman Nissan of rosenberg TX. Three months after buying it all of the electrical on the vehicle went haywire while driving on the interstate and stalled out. My husband looked at it and had it towed to gillman Nissan where they determined it was a powertrain issue where it was sent to Dodge. After it was sent to Dodge they stated that it wasn't a warranty issue and forced my husband to pay the towing and an additional fee of $100 to look at it. Later they stated they could diagnose it until they put an altinator in it for $1200, my husband being a mechanic put a altinator in it and they refused to diagnose it nor fix it without paying more. My husband filed complaints with Chrysler customer care where they did nothing and keep stating they set up appointments that we didn't show up on even though that wasn't the case, no appointments were ever made. Now a month later my car started acting crazy again, my husband looked at it and diagnosed it as the tipm but when I called Dodge they stated that there's a recall on the tipm but they don't have them in stock and it will be months before they ever get them. I am needing help here with they're default defect vehicles they're selling.

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.

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!!.

My 2011 Dodge Durango started having starting problems in sept. Of 2014 and the problem became worst over the next several weeks. On oct. 22, 2014 the vehicle didn't start and had to be tow in for service. I the was told about the tipm problem and that no parts are available and no date for delivery. Every day I have talked to Chrysler and the dealership with no future of resolving issue.

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.

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 a defective tipm. Upon researching this part, I discovered that this is an extremely widespread issue for this vehicle and that there was actually a national shortage of the part for several months due to the overwhelming number of failures resulting from this defective part. Despite multiple class action lawsuits and the high number of reported incidents, Chrysler has taken no action up to this point to recall the part.

I was in the middle of driving my 2011 Dodge Durango when the engine just cut off on me but all the accessories were still on. The first incident happened around the end of July 2014. The second time that the engine shut off on me was in August of 2014. After the second time that it shut off the engine would not start up again. It has been sitting in my drive way for about 7 months now unable to start.

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 problem started to get much worse, the car sometimes not starting multiple times during the day even after short stops. Around the end of July my wife had the problem happen to her, got the vehicle started, but as she backed out of a parking spot the vehicle stalled in the traffic lane. After that incident I took the vehicle to a Dodge dealership where they "cleared several fault codes" and sent me on my way. Three days later the vehicle once again wouldn't start, but the "reset and repress" tactic would work and the vehicle would run. Around August 7 2014 the problem got much worse. The vehicle took multiple attempts and 1-2 minutes to get running on several mornings, now though the vehicle would stall once started and before moving. Once running, in gear, and moving the car would run fine. Car failed to start then each morning Aug 15-17, taking 1-2 minutes each morning and multiple stalls. On afternoon of August 17, 5 minutes after making a dealer apt for next morning, I was driving at about 10 miles per hour and the engine died completely, power steering and brakes went out as well. Only after 3 minutes did finally using the remote start function on the key fob get the vehicle to start and run, this on a very busy roadway blocking a lane of traffic. Next day vehicle would not start at the dealer either, they diagnosed a bad tipm module and offered me a new module for $1200 or a "relay kit" for $587. New module cured problem for now.
