2012 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

2012 DODGE DURANGO CREW V6 TIPM PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF A FAULTY/FAILING TIPM AS MANY OTHERS ARE AND RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHRYSLER AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST. THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING POSSIBLE CAUSING A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING AS NO POWER IS BEING FED TO THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

PUSH START BUTTON, CAR GURGLES, SPITS AND SPUTTERS. TOLD TO TRY TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY NEED A CODE. PUT CAR INTO GEAR INSTANTLY DIED. NOW AT DEALERSHIP, COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ONE MONTH AGO, HAS HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE IT DIED ON THEM. ORDERING A NEW TIPM AFTER WE FOUND ONLINE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES! *TR

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TIPM IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR WILL CRANK AND NOT START. THE CAR SAYS THAT IS RUNNING AND IS NOT. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT, THEN LOSS OF POWER. HARD TO CRANK AND WILL LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V154000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UPON PULLING OUT IN TO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE EITHER STOPPED ACCELERATING OR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OUT TO PASS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY TO NEARLY GET T-BONED AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WHICH EVENTUALLY GET TRACED BACK TO A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THE VEHICLES IS SENT IN FOR SERVICE NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWS A TROUBLE CODE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2012 BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT YET - MY ISSUE IS: THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT DODGE IS NOT SENDING THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.APPARENTLY THE BRAKES COULD POSSIBLY FREEZE AND FAIL. I CALLED THE DEALER 7/1/2014 AND WAS "PUT ON THE LIST" FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED TODAY, 8/1/2014, AND WAS TOLD I WAS ON THE LIST BUT THERE WAS ALMOST 50 OTHERS IN FRONT OF ME AND THAT DODGE WAS ONLY SENDING 2 OR 3 PARTS A MONTH AND HAD RESTRICTED THE PART SO IT COULDN'T BE ORDERED. AT THIS RATE, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE YEAR BEFORE MY CAR IS FIXED. ALTHOUGH IT IS AUG. NOW, IT WILL GET COLD SOON AND I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT I CHAUFFEUR AROUND. I WOULD HATE FOR ONE OF THEM TO BE INJURED BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAIL AND WOULD ALSO HATE TO FILE A LAWSUIT OVER A KNOWN ISSUE THAT DODGE SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET OVER. IS THERE ANYWAY TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS SO THE CAR CAN BE FIXED BEFORE WINTER? *TR
