Description of the problem | On 10/24/2013 i started the car with the key fob by the time i reached the vehicle it was off this had happened before when i had less than 1/4 of gas so i thought nothing of it. Drove to work the morning of the 25th just fine got ready to go to lunch and the post office used the key fob to remote start by the time i got to the car it was off when i attempted to start it would not start continued to make a sound as if it was still trying to start. I filled the tank mind you on my way to work so i knew it wasn't the lack of gas at this point. I had to have it towed during my lunch break to the dealer who called a few hours later to inform me it was the tipm (totally integrated power module) which would cost $1,230 not including labor. Oh the catch is the part is on back order and he will not know when it will get here until he places the order. I questioned the fact that this was a rare part and if any recalls had been issued as my warranty just ran just reached 41k warranty expired at 35k. He said not just with durango's but also with other dodge models said he wouldn't know when part would arrive until he placed the order. Well i can see now i need to expect the worst. This should be a nationwide recall. |
