My 2012 Dodge Durango has been experiencing reaccering issues associated with the tipm and fuel pump relay. The truck will stall, hard crank or simply not crank at all; leaving me stranded sometimes. This electrical issue also affects the fog lights, front lights, brake lights and turn signals; causing them to not work; putting me in danger of a collision on the highway or city street. This tipm and fuel pump relay have been under several recalls over the past 8 years and Dodge actually lost a class action lawsuit in 2015 in reference to this issue. They were ordered to replace these parts free of charge; labeling the parts defective. See link to tipm/relay article here (https://www.classlawgroup.com/chrysler-totally-integrated-power-module-tipm-lawsuit/ and here https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/dodge-jeep-faulty-fuel-pump-class-action-settlement/ ) They-€™ve replaced both of these parts twice for me over the past 6 years. Now I am experiencing issues where the car won-€™t start for 20 minutes after I turn it off. The signal lights won't work correctly; and the foglights are totally inoperative. I-€™ve taken it back to the dealer for a diagnostic and also called the corporate office but no one wants to take accountability and acknowledge what the issue is. I have attempted to contact the lawyer who started the class action lawsuit to consult about this matter but he says he can't sue them again. I-€™m looking to see if I have any legal recourse or what my best course of action could be in order to hold Dodge accountable for replacing my tipm and fixing this defective part for good. Thanks!

I had just picked my car up from getting brakes and an inspection (obviously passed). I was driving home and there was smoke from under the hood with an electrical fire smell. My dash went crazy then I completly lost power. I had no stearing or brakes- couldn't even put on my hazards or roll down the window down to tell cars behind me to pass me. I immediatly called the garage that had just done the work to get it towed. They called today and told me that the alternator blew up and fried the battery and possible the computer (tip module??) I looked up recalls and noticed that there has been problems with this happening but my VIN didn't come up for this. I just wanted to check into the recall before I spent thousands of dollars.

Had the recall for shutting down repair again and still having the same problem. I've spent over $2000 In diagnosed fees with dealership and private shops and still having the same problem. Yes the fuel pump relay was replaced 2 times. Still having the same problem it will start back up but locks the steering wheel to where you can't turn it. Which almost was in a accident but was able to stop before. It's happens every month but was told not to bring it back to the dealership as they cant find the problem as all recalls were repaired.

I am trying to submit a report that a Dealer is not providing me service for a recall but there isn't a link to do so, only a missive telling me that i should. I am being told by the dealer that the parts to fix the Fuel pump relay problem on the 2012 Dodge Durango are in a National shortage at the moment but they will not provide me with documentation that proves this so i am unable to ship my vehicle home.

I recently purchased a vehicle March 2, 2021. I noticed that the vehicle has 3 recalls. The dealer that I purchased the vehicle from didn't have any immediate availability to fix the vehicle. So I made an appointment with Dodge dealership. My car was at facility 2 days. Once I picked up vehicle they informed me they couldn't fix two of the recalls. Jason ( service guy) informed me that he would update me. Well a month latter he tells me that the parts aren't there yet. Chrysler hasn't released the parts yet.

Dodge has issues a recall to the fuel pump relay. In the recall letter is states "a vehicle engine stall while driving can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning". I've called the dealer and told the recall parts are on backorder and would arrive in 2-3 wks. I called, the parts are restricted meaning they are only shipping 1 part per dealer per week and talking to the parts manager my car will not receive it's recall parts for months out. My car is unreliable and unsafe to drive in winter conditions in Chicago. This is completely absurd. Dodge customer service provided absolutely no remedies after talking with a customer service manager.

Fuel pump relay NHTSA V62, 19V-813 while pressing the electronic ignition switch to start my vehicle, my vehicle went into a no-start condition where the vehicle cranked several times before stalling out completely. After pressing the electronic ignition switch to the off position and opening-up my driver's door to reset the vehicle. I was able to press the electronic ignition switch again and start my vehicle. This is concerning because I have had the latest V62 recall repair done corning this matter.

The vehicle has had an open recall for over a year about the fuel pump relay. My vehicle has stopped running a few times while being driven on the freeway. At first, it was able to restart after a few minutes. Then, the vehicle did not start at all. Dodge says they still do not have the proper recall repair part made yet and would still replace it with the current part that has been recalled. I did need to have that done to be able to drive. After 2 months of driving an 80 mile daily round trip to work and home, it has stopped running again. I have called Dodge and tried to get the vehicle towed and fixed properly but they act like it is not their complete concern. They are currently not providing towing or a rental. This is very unacceptable for a manufacturer to post a recall and then not get it properly fixed in over a year time frame.

8/26/2020 fuel pump relay failed, was towed to dealership, I had to pay out of pocket for for the interim repair and had to submit for reimbursement from Dodge. A week later the vehicle stalled out going down hill, twice in one day. The vehicle will have to go back to the dealership once the official parts come in, ( everything is delayed due to covid).

This is in reference to the recall on Dodge Durango fuel pump relay. Since this recall has still not been opened to be fixed, I am at the point where my vehicle is not starting because of it. If it does start I am worried of the possibility of it causing vehicle to stop while driving. I have four children and this is not acceptable. Like many others in this time of covid, I do not have the funds to fix this expensive recall. Is there any update on when this can be fixed? I have called the dealership and they said it is still not approved. This started about 3-4 weeks ago and now is getting worse. Car wouldn't start at all yesterday. I have scanned and checked everything with mechanic. He says it is recall item he believes.

The recall V62 has been known for 2 years. No parts are available to fix the recall. My vehicle is non-driveable at the dealership waiting on a part to fix it that is "unavailable". no rental was offered nor any time frame of when the part would be available was given.

My Durango has stalled numerous times. The recall for the fuel pump relay recall has been performed and replaced and two new relays have been installed. The last relay lasted two months and failed completely yesterday. My car has been towed to a dealership. There is an open recall on this issue with no timeline for a fix. I was lucky enough yesterday to get the car to a parking space instead of pulling into traffic on a busy road before it died.

Fuel pump relay recall still not fixed. This is one of the vehicles that is failing. It is a danger to drive. It stalls driving down the road, takes a very long time to start. When it stalls the braking fails (my main concern). Contacted Chrysler multiple times and they tell me keep driving the car, no fix anytime soon. The recalll started last year. A deadline or another temporary vehicle should really be put in place.

I purchased my 2012 Dodge Durango, used, with approximately 75K miles. Since purchasing the vehicle, I've experienced numerous problems that began with the transmission. Additionally, the car goes into "low gear" even when you don't turn the knob. Over the past year, the car has been in the shop more times than I can count for the doors locking and unlocking on their own. I haven't been able to lock the doors when in public. My key fob hasn't worked even after replacing the battery inside. The car has set the alarm off even when unprompted. It will lock/unlock while driving.the car has stalled, while driving, at least 3 times since November 2019. For each occurrence, the vehicle was slowing/excelling with a traffic light or to turn into a parking lot. On one occasion, the car would not crank over and a red light was blinking on the dash. The lock issue began happening again and I could not get it started. It had been stationary. When I came back to the vehicle later, it worked fine with no red light. The mechanics noticed the temperamental problems but could not get the vehicle to consistently repeat the problem. I've also replaced the water pump and had issues with the air conditioning. At this moment, it doesn't want to work for the driver's spot only.

Recall 19V-813 is for safety and has not been resolved since the engine began stopping in 2013 nor since the first recall or since the second recall in November 2019. This is a safety issue and I have had the car stop while driving and not restart. Sometimes it does not start in the garage. I hit the fuel pump relay with a hammer and it will work for a little while. Dodge does not allow me to fix this myself. Can I have a new car? (recall related incident)

Vehicle has stalled multiple times. Either right after start up or while driving. In all cases I have found that the 20 amp fuse that was installed for recall R09 from 2015 is melting and causing the fuel pump relay to fail which is causing the stall condition. The fuse is easily replaced but the stalling is becoming more and more frequent, happening at least once a week. Dodge says there is no remedy for this and there are no parts to just replace the current set up. So now I am stuck with this issue until Dodge figures out what is wrong. Each instance of stalling has occured at 25 mph or less but its only a matter of time before it happens at a higher speed.

It took 30 minutes for my husband to crank my car. He had to tap on relays in the fuse box to get it going. The car was parked in the driveway and had not been driven since the prior evening. Went to the dealership to ask about recall and they said Chrysler had not come up with a fix yet. So the question is. What do we do if we keep having issues?
