Stellantis has put out a do not operate order for earlier year chargers and challengers if I’m correct. What about us that still have older Year Durangos that seem to stall on their own whenever they want. Fuel pump relay TSB s are not the answer. Have had TIPM replaced as well. They don’t want to entertain emails tweets etc. have reached out to DodgeCares multiple times. Dealerships don’t wanna touch it because nobody gonna pay them. Pathetic.
 
I have fought with this for a while on my 2011 R/T. Seemed to stall around a brake application, I have it on video. Dealer bent over backwards to help me. Had it elevated to a star case and a flight recorder was installed. Almost a year I had it on and it never stalled. The ONLY thing I can trace it back to was I, for shits and giggles one day decided to clean the throttle body (175K miles) so I did. After cleaning that throttle body it has been 2 years and has not stalled out. Now, did the dealer do something they did not tell me? Or did the cleaning of the TB fix it? I don’t know. I did read that the K&N air filter oil can affect the throttle body. I have run a K&N since 2011 when I bought the R/T new. I run a paper filter now and have not had any issues for about two years. Good luck, hope you get it taken care of!
 
If you don't think it is the fuel pump relay, 2013 5.7 JGC had the recall (not a TSB) done and the relay was flaking out after a couple of years, then check the brake booster (there is a TSB for that) and intake manifold bolts for proper torque as they can loosen over time. Also check the evap purge line near the TB as the hard line has a tendency to become brittle and crack.
