TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL IN MAY 2014 FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ESTABLISH A REPLACEMENT APPOINTMENT. *TR

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) - TRIED TO START MY CAR ONE MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T START. MADE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER SO I STOPPED AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED. EACH DAY IT GOT WORSE. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT LUNCH AND AFTER WORK SO WAS HAPPENING 3 TIMES A DAY. CAR STARTED TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET OR MAKE ODD SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE WAS REVVING UP. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR WITH MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR AND STARTED TO GET TO A POINT WHEN IT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HARDLY START AFTER TRYING FOR 10 OR MORE MINUTES. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND AFTER WAITING FOR 3 DAYS THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE AND WOULD COST $1281.15 TO FIX. THIS WAS JUST TODAY. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WENT SEARCHING ONLINE WONDERING MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND COME TO FIND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN FILED. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS. TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET FOR NO REASON AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR CAR STARTED AGAIN IS BEYOND SCARY. WHEN THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODULE SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. EVEN SOMEONE IN MY OWN CITY HAD TO WAIT FOR THE PART ON BACK ORDER. A RECALL MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED, PLEASE! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2014. TOOK CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 THAT THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY AIR IN TAKE SENSOR. ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 THE AIR INTAKE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. DEALERSHIP WAS GETTING READY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE 30 MILES TO ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO RESET WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIPM (COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH IS THE BRAINS OF THE VEHICLE). THE FAULTY TIPM IS PREVENTING THE FUEL INJECTOR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AT START UP SO THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS AND FAILS TO START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WILL START BUT IF LEFT IDLE WILL STALL AND ENGINE CUTS OFF. *TR
