general problems of the 2012 Dodge Durango - part 2

Check engine light on. Test ran. Detector-evaporative system issue. Detector valve faulty. Leak coming from gas cap and esim correction. Replaced esim seal and gas cap. There was a recall for similar issue. Another recall warranted?.

While driving on the highway the car's engine shut down. I placed the car in neutral and restarted the engine with no difficulty. Days later the car was parked and would not start. The engine turned normally but it seems like the fuel is not reaching the engine. It almost seems like a flooded engine. I researched it online and it seems to be an known issue with this car. The tipm (totally intergrated power module) seems to be the issue.

There has been numerous safety recalls on this year vehicle. We have taken it to our dealership numerous times only to be brushed off by saying the recall parts are not available yet. However while driving the car with all kids inside, the vehicle completely shuts off while traveling at approx. 35-45 miles per hour. Now this is a safety concern and the vehicle will not start.

For the past week our vehicle has been having trouble turning on some times the engine is going but the vehicle is not on. Today my husband was driving down the freeway going 65-70 mph when the engine turned completely off with no warning he was on the fast lane so he had to safely go to the right lane to a safe place before the vehicle lost anymore speed and cause an major accident. He tried turning it on and did with trouble and was able to move it out of the freeway. I called the dealership and they are stating it will take 1- 12 months to get the part for the recall for a permanent fix or we would have to pay for a temp. Fix. What can we do?.

Tl-the contact owns 2012 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted and the accelerator pedal required being depressed in order to start. The failure recurred several times.

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. Djr.

Driving normally for about an hour. Made 10 minute stop. Came out and car would not fire. Cranked for 20 seconds twice and nothing. Waited 5 minutes and it started. Went to pull out into traffic and it stalled. Cranked again, nothing. Then started. It happened again 2 days later. Took to dealer and they said it was a faulty tipm and not covered by warranty.

I received recall notice r09 originally in mid March 2015. I called michigan city Chrysler Dodge Jeep 219-872-8600 700 e. Us 20, michigan city, in 46360 to schedule the repair. They notified me that the parts were not available and put me on a "paper" call list. Today August 13, 2015 I received my second recall notice on r09. I called michigan city Chrysler Dodge Jeep 219-872-8600 700 e. Us 20, michigan city, in 46360 again to schedule the repair and received the same answer as in March. It has been 5 months now from the original notice and it is clear this dealership has no intention of making the recall repairs within a reasonable time.

Our Dodge Durango 2012 was purchased in January 2015 from rick keefer Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram in yulee, florida. Two weeks later the engine light lights up and the engine is sputtering. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired vehicle and said it was the oxygen sensor and replaced. Again the engine light came on and the engine ran rough. Returned the car to dealer whom repaired and said they replaced the converter. Soon again the engine light came on. Found fuel cap 'popped off' a few times, engine light goes out then on again. Returned to dealer whom replaced fuel cap. There was also an oil leak fixed. Again the engine light came on and off and the engine would run rough. Smoke would pour out the tailpipe, engine sputtering, drove back from mountains. Returned car to dealer. They replaced powertrain control module and oxygen sensor (again). And again, late June 2015, engine light comes on and engine sputtering. Dealer takes car. Dealer tells us they are going to 'go through it' and drive vehicle entire time. We receive rental car. Dealer calls after week and said vehicle is ready for pickup but they are awaiting a converter and are going to replace oxygen sensor also. Vehicle mileage logged; vehicle was never 'driven'. Rental car time was used up. Returned car to dealer when part was in. Dealer replaced converter but not O2 sensor?? they said it didn't need it. Drove car about 10 miles and got out. A very strong smell of burning plastic is coming from car. Dealer not returning call. Will be returning to dealer Monday july20, 2015. Still driving with strong plastic burn smell. Lifted hood. Wiring harness above heater line and converter(manifold) is burning. Entire right side of engine is unbearable hot. Silver metal box in front of fuse panel is so hot it burns to the touch. Car reads normal temps? most problems on blog occur in hot summer months. Coincidence?.

Vehicle will just turn over and not start. Tipm is what Dodge says but they can't fix it.

When try to start car. The starter hung up and wouldn't start. Starter kept turning over but would not start. Like vehicle was not getting any fuel to engine. Has done this 7 times since Dec 2014.

Dodge has issued a recall on the tipm system for the 2011 Dodge Durango's. Although I am having the same issues they are stating that my car is not under the recall as it is only for 2011 Durango's. My SUV is having the same exact problem but Dodge is refusing to fix it and will not provide any assistance.

I initially brought my vehicle to be serviced on 11/4/14 for failure to start & stalling while in park or reverse. I talked with an attendant who said they had no idea what the problem was & it would be $300+ to investigate, I opted for a lower cost option, a replacement start button ($20). I suspect now, since they were busy & I was inquiring about other recall fixes (cost to them) this was a way to get me out of the shop quickly. Skip forward a few weeks, the problem persisted. From 12/2/14-1/9/14, I left multiple messages for service to schedule an appt. My messages were never returned. The problem got progressively worse, & by christmas the car failed to start all together. To continue with our family plans for vacation, we had to rent a car ($480); there were also a few days just after the new year where a rental was required so we could function ($280). I finally resorted to simply having the car towed ($100) to the dealership for repairs on 1/10/14 in hopes I could finally get a return call. It still took 2 more days (1/12/15) before someone responded. This time, I was quoted a price of only $114 to determine the problem. I spoke to the service lead on 1/14/15 who gave a diagnosis of tipm and starter replacement, plus 3 hrs labor cost (approx $1550). I mentioned the recall on the tipm, but was informed that my vehicle produced in Nov 2011 fell just outside the Jul 2011 window. I pointed out it was clearly the same issue, but was advised my best route was to deal with corporate. I contacted the corporate office on 1/15/15 with no success at getting Chrysler to do the right thing for their longtime, repeat customer (this is my 5th and last Chrysler). After 2+ grueling mths & nearly $2500 later, I finally have a car that starts on the first attempt. . . Hopefully (no guarantees, right). I have yet to hear back from a supervisor at corporate.

On oct 3, 2014, this issue first occurred with my Dodge Durango. It took several attempts of the vehicle "turning over" for it to actually start. Then on oct 10, my vehicle spontaneously stopped in traffic. Then it took several attempts to get it restarted. I had my codes and battery tested, no issues were detected. This problem starting the vehicle has been going on several times a day since oct 3. Attempts to contact Chrysler have been a dead end. I feel like I've been getting the runaround. A recall should have been issued long before now as I have seen several other Dodge Durango owners who have or are currently having these issues.

My 2012 Dodge Durango would not start, the engine would turn over but not start. After 5 attempts it started and I drove it to the dealership and after test I was told that the tipm had an open circuit.

Vehicle starts then stalls out, or just cranks and cranks, and won't start. Happened a few times at stop lights after short drive. Was able to finally get started to drive to dealer, was told I could either replace the tipm for over $1000, or do a fuel relay bypass to the existing tipm for a little over $550. Same exact problem all the recalled Durango/grand cherokees have, yet the 2012's haven't been recalled? why? vehicle left us stranded multiple times in FL heat with infant in car.

I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when I retry it. I received a recall notice ( r09 / NHTSA 14v-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that I may experience a problem while I am on the highway.

The issue began as I took my truck in for a recall on the brake system. I informed that I was having issues with the cruise control system not functioning. Since then the cruise control issue had a diagnostic that darcars is informing there is not issue but no replacement or suggestions have been presented. I began having problems with the push start around 8/1. When trying to start the truck it will not turn over and eventually will stall out completely. So I attempted to remote start which worked for a couple of days. Soon it began to cause the same problem. Since then I have been starting the car with the key. Until 9/22, on that morning my son stated he heard a hissing sound from the rear driver tire. I also heard this sound at approximately 2:15 pm. Which prompted me to call darcars service center because a vanity light recall was just mailed to us. So I tried to schedule an appointment. Before I left work at 5:30 I attempted to unlock the door and could not without the key being inserted to the door. The car would not crank. I started realizing I was having the same nightmare as others tipm. The car is now being worked on but they are calling the issue everything but what it is so that I purchase a full pump relay, throttle box, and battery. Costing me 1400 plus 140 for another diagnostic please attach to p54 recall multiple stalls and non functioning vehicle.

Several times while driving, the electronic throttle light comes on along with the check engine light and immediately begins to jerk while on the freeway/surface streets. It nearly caused an accident once due to the drastic reduction in power and speed. Service people found nothing wrong and were no help. It has repeated this several times with my kids in the car. When it first happened, we were on a road trip 2200 miles away from home. . . Limited options. Each time we had to stop and rest by turning off engine, waiting/or restarting in neutral. Truly a danger/safety issue and major inconvenience.

Initially in early July, 2014 my 2012 Dodge Durango developed a computer failure causing the battery to eventually drain, loss of engine power and ability to maintain or accelerate. Repair was made after the vehicle was towed to the local Dodge dealer, manfredi Dodge, staten island n. Y , and subsequently the battery repaired and the computer replaced. Shortly after the repair was completed the passenger airbag failure light would intermittently illuminate and the vehicle occasionally would not start. Another trip to the dealer and the passenger seat airbag sensor was reported faulty and the vehicle tipm sensor needed replacement or repair. Conferral with the dealer suggested that the tipm sensor be replaced rather than repaired to assure longevity of the repair and overall satisfaction. Vehicle is a lemon!.

Car sometimes will not start, or starts and quickly shuts off (sometimes in drive or reverse). If you push start button it tries to "turn over" revving but never starting. Has done intermittently but gotten really bad in may 2016 from every other day to sometimes several times a day. Dealer "can't find" problem. Date below first date dealer actually wrote down problem. Have all service forms and documents. Believe it is the tipm module. Car alarm has gone off with door lock problems after starter issue as well. Dealer again "can't duplicate problem" and has denied knowing about ongoing lawsuit about this problem and has actually lied to us about warranty information numerous times. Also have video of problem on cell phone. Vehicle has been in park and in drive/reverse as we were just starting to drive/back up when it quit running. It goes "dead" without a sound but all lights are on, vehicle states it is running but you cannot move wheel. You have to put back in park, hit start button again to shut off in order to attempt to fix problem. Sometimes takes several attempts to get it started.

The vehicle first had problems with the transmission and the dealer would not fix it because the check engine light was not on and Chrysler wouldn't authorize. The vehicle would jump in reverse or roll and not go in gear. Later check engine light came on and it was repaired. Then the vehicle began having difficulty starting. The motor just continues trying to turn over. You have to turn the key off and try to start a couple of more times and then it will run. The vehicle will stall when you step on the gas. I started it after putting gas in at a gas station and stepped on the gas and it died. I started it and started out of my driveway and it died and continued rolling. It also died when my wife was pulling away from my sons school. Chrysler has a recall on the vehicle, however I have been trying for almost a year to get it repaired. I first reported the incidents in 2014 to both Chrysler and a Dodge dealership. The Dodge dealership says they cant get the parts from Chrysler.

Sitting idle on a driveway vehicle began to smoke and smell. Punched gas three times and each time huge white blue cloud of smoke pushed out. Smell of burning metal came with cloud of smoke. Took to dealership where they at first could not recreate the problem. After placing the vehicle on an incline and starting it up they too got the smoke, and not just from mine but from another on the lot. They tell me that it is the oil pan design is faulty and that my vehicle will smoke when on an incline, driveway, hill, stuck in traffic at a slope. The emissions are horrendous and I am shocked that a 57 hemi engine would do this. Shocked more that Chrysler knows of the problem and has not yet fixed it.
