I had a loss in power dropping into vegas from Henderson. Sun had just gone down and for a split second everything went dark. Really weird.

Never had anything happen since. That was at about 4k mikes. At 15k now. Not sure if it was a TIPM issue but it could have been bad.

 

Further update that I posted under the TIPM recall, vehicle finally stranded us. The dealer it is at now, Wickstrom, agreed with your and mine conclusion that it is the TIPM and they will get it fixed and document that it is NOT the wireless control module so hopefully I can get my diagnostic fee back from the other dealer. It was nice to hear someone confirm the KNOWN issue and not play coy or dumb about it. Thank you again!!!

Until the recall comes out, $963.04 installed.

As a reminder, if you have not, file a complaint with NHTSA with your TIPM problems. All the complaining on these boards wont help with the government doesn't know about it.

As a FYI, there is a $125 core on the TIPM, so it looks like they are installing rebuilt units. I asked for my old one back so I could send it in to get repaired to have for the next failure and was faced with the core charge. Disappointing on Chrysler's part. I get a 12 month 12k mile warranty....o boy.

RIght about the same time. May want to check with your dealer, although being in the media and actually started are two different things. This is now 3 recalls on my former 2011.....

 

Recall came out for a fuel pump relay failure in the TIPM for the 2011 Durango's and JGC with the 3.6 and the 5.7 engines. NHSTA # is 14V530.

Unreal that I am paying over $1000 tomorrow to get this fixed on a 2012 which is the SAME part but is not part of the recall.

 

What codes would the dealer find if he query the DD's system? shouldn't some pop up beside just a CEL?


Both my "TIPM events" were in February, 2014, with about 35K on the 2012 Crew clock. Dealer found no codes to indicate TIPM failure. No problems before or since those two events. May have just been bad gas . . . ? I'm heading for Watkins Glen Wednesday and certainly don't want an "event" coming or going.

 

In the cases Ive heard/read about and in my case there were no codes. I never got a CEL, the dang thing just wouldn't start.
