This OPEN RECALL On My Dodge Durango Is COSTING Me Money EVERY DAY

- Shoutout to @TylerPotter for doing the actual factory recall on the Durango!
I bought a 2011 Dodge Durango for the Turo fleet but ran into a major problem when I tried to list it. There was an open recall on the Durango and that prevents me from being able to list the car on Turo. Even worse the waitlist to get this fixed can be up to two years. The parts are hard to get as they trickle out to the dealers and they fix a couple each week. I bought the car just to rent out and if it's sitting in the shop it's costing me money instead of making it. Either way, we're repairing it today and the recall paperwork is all filed, hopefully it's cleared by Monday and we can put this 3 row HEMI powered SUV in service. We also found out my Durango spent many years in Germany where the original fuel pump relay recall was performed, then was shipped back to the US and it seems every panel has been removed from the car and inspected.

I can't believe this Durango has traveled all over the world! We found multiple service records from it's years overseas. 😳
Prince Akeem, Incase nobody has said it yet
Lol
When you're a service member, Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine and you are transferred to another base outside of the USA vehicle transport is free. I just learned that recently. I think it isn't a well known perk.
That’s really cool JR. A well traveled Durango. I knew you guys could handle the job and keep it in the feet with no time lost. Good job!lol
Yep, military.
Don't forget, that Durango has not only been to Germany and back, it just recently made a round trip to Mexico.
Hope Tyler comes back on the channel, he's got a great on-camera personalty and definitely knows his stuff! Took that fuse box out and fixed that recall like a pro (cause obviously he is)
Check out his channel too.
When the dealerships say it will be 2-3years of lead time for parts, JR just calls the dealership to come out to him!
I didn't know if we were allowed to talk about that 😂
It's all about who you know... Not much else at the end of the day.
Pretty awesome to have friends in the right places! Good on you for helping out Tyler!
We can order one relay kit a week. There not back ordered..just Chrysler has decided to only allow one sale a week . Better hope Chrysler's not watching this and found a recall performed out of a Chrysler shop that recall is null and void even if a Chrysler tech does it it's got to be submitted through Chrysler. If it was this easy all these independent shops will be doing them instead of calling the dealer to have it done.
Didn't know Stellantis did house calls.
I've got a hard copy of Stephen Kings "It" which I bought here in Australia in the 90's, after I read it, my sister-in-law read it, ask if her father could read it, he took it back to the US via France and the UK. It was then lent to a friend of his that took it to Canada and then back to the US. I was told it then was lent to another family friend who took it with them to Japan and then again back to the US where my sister-in-law got it back and bought it back to Australia and to me. It's now packed away in a box in a shipping crate on the property... i think. It's travelled more places then I have. Not that it really has anything to do with this but... it's amazing how some things just get around. Cheers for the great content as always mate.
Tyler killed it! I sure hope the dealership he works for appreciates him.
11:31 "If I'm at Jiffy Lube I'm definitely bringing this to lobby" best laugh of the day for me. 😂
My buddy just brought an early 2000s 4Runner back from Germany that was brought there when new by someone else in the service. He is the 3rd owner, but since the car was sold overseas, he is legally the 2nd titled owner. Also they are required to go through yearly inspections to be able to be driven overseas as part of the agreement between the military and Germany. He had to replace brake pads almost yearly to pass inspection. The are pretty serious about guaranteeing that the cars are up to standards.
We could use some of that here. Every other car I pass now has lights out and parts falling off, along with bald tires and brakes and ceased to function months ago...
@@redbaron6805 💯💯💯
Yep, they did a external relay graft in that made it customer serviceable. The TIPM idea wasn't as good as they thought it would be and they quit doing it.
I have a similar ratcheting crimping tool I bought at the big swap meet here years ago, I love it, really does the job and the wires wont pull apart.
The color, the V8, and the cloth seats, Perfection.
Like how Josh stood in the background arms folded nodding knowingly at the appropriate time.😂😂😂😂😂
Watching this is like listening to a professional musical presentation. I could do this job, but it would probably take a weekend.
I guess the parts for the recall were a bit... Dodgy
Aht, aht, aht 😬
Oh, Jake... how long have you been hanging on to that one?? :::giggle:::: 🤓💯percent
Was easy enough for the pro to knock out. Glad to see it's ready to go out the door now!
Durango is Awesome i love my 2016, you also helped me solve my issue with my Durango noise thought it might be wheel bearings as well. Thanks =)
a video on the repair would be awesome
Super cool you gave owners a solution for the issue.
Not quite sure it'll work for the headlights, but I used signal dynamics load equalizers for the turn signals in my G8, and they've been working for years. One unit does both sides, so extra wiring will be needed to reach across if the headlight feeds aren't near each other.
Tyler seems like a very nice guy, good of him to help!
I had my 13 awd crew have this issue about a month ago… was able to get my recall done the next morning… I racked my brain for hours till I found the forum the dealership hooked me up and if you talk to them nicely they always have one in the back lol
Glad I watched this for my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee recall. Mine will get done and it's only a half day wait for recall. And yes, usually only 2 relays per dealer on hand.
I had the same problem with my 2012 Ram 1500. Did a quick bypass, but would love it if Chrysler would include these in their recall as well...
I had a guy at a Phillips 76 Oil Change place tell me that if I didn't have my oil filter changed by them that they would void out any type of warranty on gas mileage improvements done by them changing my oil. I had moved into an apartment complex and we weren't allowed to do any type of maintenance on your vehicle, even vacuuming it out. But the Phillips place was right next door and they gave every new resident coupons for a $16 oil change. The amount of upselling was intense. They made it sound like my 2 year old minivan was going to fall apart at any second. Everything was bad on it! Honda made garbage!
Sitting in your car too long, management come out and knocks on your window "hey! Better not be fixing or cleaning anything in there!" 😂☠️
@@chrisej5987 They were like that too. They claimed you vacuuming your car was too loud and dumping your floorrmats on the ground dirtied the parking lot or left other trash there. I had to fix the rear view mirror in my wife's car and I had just stuck the adhesive on and had it pressed against the glass. Guy comes along and tells me I need to either stop or close the car door. It's July in Florida. Literally a death sentence. So I made him come around the other side and turn the car on to give me AC. I wasn't stopping. 2 days later I got a letter in my mailbox with a friendly reminder about car maintenance items. Meanwhile the manager had a PT Cruiser that smoked so bad it made you sick, the muffler would scrape across the speed bumps, and the rear bumper was black a can be from exhaust and leaking oil. But me with my car door open was an embarrassing sight
I had my 98 GMC Sierra 4x4 in Germany. I drove it to Vicenza, Italy and back and had zero problems. I wish I still had that truck. I had so many problems with it when I first bought it used. After working out all the issues it was a great truck. We bought a used Mercedes for my wife while we were there. Couldn't beat it for $3k. We had one emergency brake issue but that's a long story. Sold the Mercedes when we departed and got our money back.
7/10ths of an hour is 42 minutes for those wondering, Tyler knocked this out in what, 10, 15 minutes? Great job!
If this thing is going to take another 30 days to clear the recall database it gives you time to get those hood and trunk struts done and fix whatever's wrong with the driveshaft, more content for you before it begins it's Turo life.
The color markings are for the guarantee of a repair. Each tightened screw is marked. If one of the markings between the screw and the substrate does not match and is broken, then someone else has screwed it after you. Something on the brakes was probably changed on the car.
I also had a customer once: a new part was installed, the complaint came a short time later, the markings did not match, an attempt was made to exchange a defective part from another car.
I work at a dodge dealership in the parts department and I have 2 of those recall parts in stock and when I reorder then they come in the next day
If you dont have the recall and dont want to pay to replace the TIPM there is a really simple fuel pump relay bypass you can do by effectively bridging 2 adjacent fuses so that the fuel pump is just wired into the switched 12v circuit. Theres even a ready to go bypass kit you can buy for fairly little, or its easy done with piggyback fuses.
that dude tyler seems like a really kool guy and positive
Really agrivating, I have a 2015 and it is starting to hear ticking from the faulty lifters. They did an extended warranty on 11-13s but nothing for cars newer even though it's the same exact parts that fail.
That thing is sleeeeek looking! It kind of makes me want to get one here in FL... though I think I'm more partial to the first gen rangos.
Go for the jeep grand Cherokee it's same platform just better badges and more stylish.
Lived in Suffolk, UK until August this year when we moved the Canada. We lived next to USAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath. We saw more US vehicles on a day to day basis than UK ones in our neighbourhood. They tend to have rear fog lights added to pass the UK inspection. USAF pays for the shipping.
Youre right, the chevy bolt battery recall isnt critical at all lol! Sadly theres so many these days its hard to keep track of them all
It was Prince Akeem.
At MacDougles: when you think of garbage, think of Akeem.
Wow that’s awesome that this thing has traveled more than most people
Chrysler and non starts! In 1976 the military started buying the M-880 series of light trucks from Chrysler. Their non start issue revolved around the ignition balance resistor. It came from the factory mounted on the fire wall-well with the hood design, if opened the hood after or during a hard rain the small lake that forms on the hood would run down said firewall and short out the resistor. Look ma no start! Field fix was silicone calk. Updated version they moved the resistor.
Really enjoy your channel, you keep us informed about so many different makes and models. Not a fan of Chrysler vehicles after watching this episode.
Thanks
I did the rear wheel bearing replacement due to bearing noise. The noise remained. The tires needed replacement for winter, so four new tires installed, the noise is GONE.
Its crazy they haven't figured out how to get fuel to the engine yet
Ya, you’d think they’d have nailed that given how thirsty that hemi is.
Such a dumb design…
Loving the free advert for the FSM garage! Morpart Forever!
I had to use a jump wire to fix mine in my grand caravan. It was a $59 fix and it is good to go!
Good information on this issue.👍
Got that hemi tick :) make sure the right side exhaust manifold bolts aren’t broke off
My Kia Sorento had a two piece drive shaft that had the carrier go out and every bump it slammed the bottom of the car, I put in a one piece replacement. I don’t do crazy driving angles or anything so far it’s all good.
So who lost their spot in line for that relay JR?! Was it me?!! Lol. My JGC has that drive line vibration too. Definitely video content worthy on that fix please.
that same dealer serviced my ford escape and grafenwoehr is in west Germany not east as there is no east Germany anymore spent about 8 months out of my 11 years in the army there. when a car is shipped with the military it is picked up in Bremerhaven Germany and then travels to the base about 400 miles.
I had a 2006 Jeep Commander and the horn relay soldered to the board is a common failure for those but a recall was never issued for it either.
There's a Beast of the Green Hell joke in there somewhere...
Speaking of Germany: Use Weidmüller Crimp Tools. Also ratcheting, Auto adjusting, four side Crimping. Best Wordwilde.
My sister had a issue with her caravan and all we did was put a wire in her fuse box that bypassed it and she never had issues with it
Tyler is a really cool guy!!
the lower part on the Oil Sticker is for the Date to put in and say's .. best before...
If your Fuel Pump Relay is bad and needing of a change , would this drain your battery somehow? I have a issue with my 1500 Ram very similar to this one except my battery sometimes dies out over hoursof sitting and needs a jump .
Those paint pens were done by our quality department at the plant. It's a verification to ensure that the connections were PIA'd properly. (I still don't know what PIA means after 12 years...) The sight of the wires connecting to that TIPM is making my fingers hurt!!!! 🤣
In a bizarrely ironic twist of history, in 2011 when this Durango was new, Turo was called RelayRides
When I see Durangos, I immediately think of my neighbour in the Canadian military. Seems like others have similar vehicle tastes.
After watching a lot of US dash cam videos are you going to fit them to your fleet of rental cars?
My 2011 Chrysler Town and Country is affected by the same failed relay on the TIPM, but the recall doesn't extend to the minivan, unfortunately. I had to watch a couple of TH-cam videos on how to bypass the relay in order to get the fuel pump working again...
Hey JR, I was wondering, I really want to buy an m12 driver, do you recommend yours? If so, could you say what part number it is?
If you could rebuild hood struts and rear hatch struts JR.... You would definitely be able to showcase that on your channel. You seem to get that recurring issue on all your vehicles. I've had the same problem.
Wth?
My 2015 Hyundai Genesis has been in the dealer's shop since May 27th (undriveable) waiting for an ECU module. NO ETA AVAILABLE on the replacement part (from Korea). You're lucky.
Question... will the fuel pump relay trigger the check engine light to come on??
My dealer said no.
great video!
The paint was the owner checking the custom's people . Have you heard of Eddie Lowry , who
was a famous golf hero and sold cars in NE Oklahoma ?
Was the first recall entered into the "System" and stated as completed ? The way this is presented there is two recalls? An external relay had already been installed. And it had to be recalled as well?
Correct, there are actually 3 recalls for the fuel pump relay. This is the 3rd (and hopefully final) one 🍻
@@WatchJRGo Why not only the relay. It was Stated wiring harness was good and don't fail.
The dealership has recalled my dad's 2012 durango citadel 2 times for this it now has 3 yes 3 relays in a row and now it actually has the issue of not starting that it didn't have before they worked on it. Oh and dealership told my dad when it didn't start to throw it into neutral and open the door so it will stop trying to start. Hey guess what it grenaded the transmission while trying to get it to stop trying to start. Thanks Lenoir City Chrysler Dodge Jeep.
If it can be up to 30 days for the database to update, is it possible that it's already done?
The company I work for uses RAM trucks for all their service vehicles. Had this same issue almost leave me stranded 5hrs from home on a Friday night. 99% sure that the TIPM is the issue as it had some intermittent crank no star scenarios. 2013 ram btw
Could the paint pen be from an insurance adjustor tagging stuff for a body shop?
No not every bolt and clip like that
Maybe it's the story, the color..... but LOVE this one!
Hey John, just a word to the wise. If you get a chance to buy a Chevrolet Bolt, hold off on that for a while, they all have a critical recall too. Something about the battery bursting into flames randomly.
😂😂😂
Just a minor issue…
Nice work GM…
Oh yeah, they’re all parked in their own corner of the lot at the Chevy dealer 😂
I bought a 2012 caravan replaced tipm for same problem fuel pump relay
Will that relay also cause a no crank no start? I'm not getting signal at all to the starter.
The mk 2 golfs most wanted colour was very simular to that one
New video idea, JR takes the Audi S4 back to Germany and tries to get it to pass TUV
I may have missed it, but how is this repair going to be reported to NHTSA as completed? Typically, this is handled by the OEM after the dealer submits the claim for payment. Is Josh getting this processed through his dealer?
I might be wrong, but I think Tyler works for a Dodge/Chrysler dealer, so he would submit the recall paperwork through them.
I did not see if this has been said yet, but, "CRIMPIN AINT EASY!"
Always good to "Know a guy". haha. Nicely done on the recall Tyler!
Is this the same thing for a 2016 Durango tipm cuz I’m having problems with a crank but no start changed out the fuel pump and been hearing bad things about the TIPM
Lol, I knew I saw Omicron or something like it somewhere... hahahaha now I can rest easy at night without my mind wondering
Not watching all these rental car repair videos anymore, ill be back when you're back to the bondo express.
Okay I have a 2016 dodge Durango with 120 thousand miles on it and the car would just stop didn’t know why and it would start running like nothing ever happened it’s very scary and frustrating then I took it to two dealerships and they did 3 recalls on it so I thought it was fixed but it was not and the dealership didn’t even know what was wrong with it. So I did some research and found out that this happened a lot in mostly all Dodge Chrysler, cars and trucks and vans dealership told me it was fuel pump and tips and it was gonna cost me 2000 to fix it and what I found out was I needed to get 😢a jumper cable from the fuel pump motor fuse to cigarette. Lighter fuse and that’s it. The car would start with no problems. It’s a $30-$60 part. Very simple. I hope this helps any questions message me.
16:04 “Definitely a Three Hand Job” 😂
Spät means late. Spätestens bis = latest by/at least by (and there should be a date in the box below)
Good Job There.. Semper Protinus !
What GPS tracker did you get? Just listed my car on Turo, and would like one to keep tabs just in case.
I don't think JR could buy a new car with good hood struts lol!
How is the TIPM different than a typical ECM, PCM, TCM? The computer has the grounding or power transistor driver internal then turning on the fuel pump relay. Full current is going through TIPM and only relay control power is going though a typical ECM PCM TCM?
The TIPM is like a power distribution unit, not a computer, just a fancy relay/fuse box. The others are actual computers. 🍻
@@WatchJRGo what controls the TIPM, the PCM/ECM ? And from the video it sounds like a TIPM not cheap.
How much money would it cost to fill a tank of fuel in Germany and to run a hemi engine to boot pricey
When you think of garbage, think of Akeem.
Prince Akeem! 😂
@@WatchJRGo Hilarious movie & even the sequel was great.
Randy Watson!
to be 100% but it on axle stands see if the sound gos .i had same sound and it was my rear tyers .
You definitely should buy stocks in the company that makes O'Reillys car batteries and the company that makes O'Reillys lift struts. You're supporting their revenue so you might as well be a shareholder.
I recently bought hood struts at O’Reilly’s for my 2006 Accord I bought new. O’Reilly’s told me they have a lifetime warranty and are the same manufacturer as the OEM.
Why wouldn’t the original ones have a lifetime warranty? They lasted 15 years so I’m not complaining.
Johnson Controls
11:21 - can confirm, we would do that... lmao!
Great crew gittiner done.
Me? I would take the TIPM board, break out the soldering iron, and wire an external replaceable relay.
That’s what we just did, you can cut the wires to the board, no PCB soldering required 🍻
oh look an FSM shirt i do love Finnegan's garage too
Sorry Josh but Grafenwoehr is not in East Germany. It is in what was West Germany. Spent many an hour there when I was in the Army and stationed in Germany.
It is in southeastern Germany, just not in the former country of East Germany. I think you’re playing semantics.
Hey wondering if you are still having issues with your Durango ? Wondering if I should grab the Durango or the 05 Toyota Sequoia ?
Sequoia for sure, better in every way
If I could perform the fuel pump relay recall on the Durango I would drink the shot of whiskey and the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the Number and get all schmoked up
Crimpin' ain't easy. Big Crimpin'.
Tell the haters they’re just jealous! That thing is awesome and we need to get some BG in there
