There has been more than one incident date on this issue. i just entered the last time it has happened. when going to start my vehicle it starts, than automatically stalls. i have had this happen over 6 times in the last 2 months. i have read countless reports of other chrysler vehicles having this same issue...with the tipm. how there is a national back order and people's cars have been in shops for over a month. chrysler needs to issue a recall and get this problem fixed! *tr

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
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge durango. while driving at approximately 75 mph, the front air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. the contact also stated that the tail and headlights failed to illuminate without warning and the radio screen failed to illuminate. the failures recurred numerous times. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or diagnosed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure and the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v115000 (electrical system). the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Since the vehicle was purchased in 2012 the air conditioning does not actually cool when the remote start is used. we live in arizona where ambient air temperature is over 110 degrees fahrenheit, and has been seen in the 130s, 4 months a year. i have used a thermocouple to measure interior temperature of the durango and i have seen it up to 160 degrees fahrenheit. having 2 young children the air conditioning not operating when the remote start is utilized is not acceptable, whether it is leaving a store or at the house. children are susceptible to dehydration and heat stroke more easily than adults, therefore exposing your child for just a few minutes is dangerous. we have notified the dealership on multiple occasions when it is in for servicing. they have yet to provide a solution and they stated there would be a computer update to repair this. if there is not a repair prior to this summer we will be taking legal action against the dealership or dodge motor company. *tr
