What owners wrote
Our 2012 dodge durango r/t was purchased brand new as a replacement for lemon law buy back of our 2009 dodge journey. The durango is plagued with design flaws. The most obvious is the tipm total integrated module. The failure of this module resulting in our vehicle catching fire. The vehicle cranks but does not start at times, other times when it starts it dies in the street. While taking it to the dealership for repairs they would not repair it and another dealer denied the repairs.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge durango. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle suddenly decelerated without warning. The contact merged over to an emergency lane. The contact shifted the gear into park and then back into drive and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The contact also noticed that the vehicle would not start properly when the key was inserted into the ignition. The vehicle would only start after multiple attempts. The failure recurred multiple times.
