Dodge Durango (2011–2013): what actually fails

The documented failure patterns on used Dodge Durangos — the mileage window where each shows up, and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks against every VIN.

TIPM relay & alternator failures

TIPM fuel-pump relay and 3.6L alternator failures cause sudden stalls and no-starts; both drew recalls. Run the VIN for open recalls and treat any intermittent starting problem as this issue until proven otherwise.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the car is in or near the mileage window, price the $400–$1,500 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.
