DODGE DURANGO 2011
Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC
Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 1D4RD4GG5BC...
SUMMARY:
THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP, AND IT DID NOT ACT THE WAY IT DID ON ME. SO THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, THE VERY NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START REGULARLY. IT WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS TO THE STATER. TOOK VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP, THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS ITEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS CURRENTLY OUR ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS THE FAMILY VEHICLE, USED ALSO FOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LEAST YEAR IN OCTOBER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON VEHICLE OWNED LESS THEN A YEAR. NOW THE PART FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE AND I HAVE A USELESS VEHICLE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CAN'T DRIVE OR MOVE IT. THIS SHOULD BE ON RECALL!!!!!! AND CONSUMERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR SUFFERING FROM CHRYSLER. I THINK THAT IT IS TIME THAT THE MEDIA BEWARE OF THE RAW DEAL CONSUMERS ARE GETTING FROM CHRYSLER. WHEN MY FIANCE DROVE IT TO WORK IT STALLED ON HER, COMPLETLY SHUT DOWN. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED!!!! NATCHEZ. MS

SUMMARY:
ON 10/24/2013 I STARTED THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB BY THE TIME I REACHED THE VEHICLE IT WAS OFF THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN I HAD LESS THAN 1/4 OF GAS SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. DROVE TO WORK THE MORNING OF THE 25TH JUST FINE GOT READY TO GO TO LUNCH AND THE POST OFFICE USED THE KEY FOB TO REMOTE START BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE CAR IT WAS OFF WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT WOULD NOT START CONTINUED TO MAKE A SOUND AS IF IT WAS STILL TRYING TO START. I FILLED THE TANK MIND YOU ON MY WAY TO WORK SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THE LACK OF GAS AT THIS POINT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED DURING MY LUNCH BREAK TO THE DEALER WHO CALLED A FEW HOURS LATER TO INFORM ME IT WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH WOULD COST $1,230 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. OH THE CATCH IS THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HE WILL NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET HERE UNTIL HE PLACES THE ORDER. I QUESTIONED THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A RARE PART AND IF ANY RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED AS MY WARRANTY JUST RAN JUST REACHED 41K WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 35K. HE SAID NOT JUST WITH DURANGO'S BUT ALSO WITH OTHER DODGE MODELS SAID HE WOULDN'T KNOW WHEN PART WOULD ARRIVE UNTIL HE PLACED THE ORDER. WELL I CAN SEE NOW I NEED TO EXPECT THE WORST. THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE RECALL.
