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. *tr
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. *tr
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! *tr
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.
My durango has had many problems when trying to start it since i initially purchased the vehicle. i have taken it into the dealership about 7 times trying to figure out why it won't start on many occasions. i will also start and then shut down immediately. it is no longer under warranty and even after getting the r09 fuel pump relay fix i still have the exact same problem. after doing countless hours of research it appears it is the actual tipm that has gone bad and will cost me around 1500$ it is a disgrace that dodge will not just recall the bad tipm. there are thousands of people online with the exact same problem as me and i would really appreciate it if you all will look into this more considering how dangerous it is especially if driving on a highway and your vehicle just shuts down for no apparent reason which is one of the symptoms of this bad tipm. thank you
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....updated 09-29-15 *bf
Rack and pinion leaking suddenly. fuel pump relay went out again. while driving on four lane.
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. *js
