Stalling while driving on the 2011 Dodge Durango
When stalling while driving gets reported
Owners of the 2011 Dodge Durango report stalling while driving at a median of 60,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 40,000 miles and a quarter after 70,000 miles, from 37 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 75,000 miles. It is the 8th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 30,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 110,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 79,660 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
19% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30,900 miles | 40,000 miles | 61,000 miles | 70,000 miles | 110,560 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $300–$2,500 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
This mode is classified as critical, which means a failure can leave the car unable to stop, steer, or stay out of the way of traffic. It is weighted accordingly in the risk score.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 13 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2016, at a median of 20 miles, and latest on the 2000 at 135,000 miles.
By volume the 2005 carries the most reports, with 62; the 2011 has 41. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
The vehicle just died while driving in a parking lot loss of power to everything including steering and brakes. It was restarted and driven to where we were staying. The next morning it would not start after many attempts. We had it towed to the nearest dodge dealer where we eventually learned it was the tipm module . We also learned that this problem could be a dangerous one. We were also informed that this part is on eternal back order leaving us stranded 12 hours from home with a car full of kids. Dodge needs to make this right!!! I am not sure I will feel safe driving this vehicle now that I know this is a real common problem! *tr
Tl * the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. While driving 35 MPH, the engine stalled and all of the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer recommended that the alternator be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 49,863.
The initial indication of a problem was the vehicles inability to start (usually took 3-4 tries). Once it started the first time it would shutter then shut off again. Finally starting okay after several stumbling starts. It would randomly cut off while driving (makes the power brakes and steering very difficult to handle). The final time was when the transmission would not go back into drive (or park). It would act as if in neutral except there was an audible buzzing when clicked back to park. The initial engine issues turned out to be the tipm (total integrated power module). The fuel pump was being shut down by the tipm. The second issue with the transmission was due to a 4 low neutral switch being stuck in the down position. Both are being fixed my our expense now as they are no longer covered under warranty. These parts are expensive and caused some safety of use issues as an inexperienced driver may have had an accident when the power steering and brakes were difficult to handle. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 41 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does stalling while driving happen on the 2011 Dodge Durango?
Across 37 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 60,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 40,000 miles and a quarter after 70,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is stalling while driving on the 2011 Dodge Durango?
41 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.4 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
