Description of the problem | As i was coming home from work at night on january 18th 2014 my lights on my 2012 chrysler town and country went out for a couple of seconds and than came back on. I was going 70mph on the highway and very thankful that i did not crash because of this. I took my van in and found it out it is the totally integrated power module. The part i need is on back order and no one has an eta. I have been without my vehicle since january 29, 2014. I have been in contact with chrysler and they say that there is nothing they can do and basically they are not responsible for the defect part. I have been in contact with multiple dealerships and this has not been an isolated incident. Dealerships have seen multiple incidents on the tipm. The part is on national back order, so that also raises a red flag. I have done some research on this and have found out this has been going on for many years. I'm not understanding why chrysler is not being held responsible for this defective part. How many people have to get hurt before something is done. There is a class action lawsuit against chrysler for the tipm. What more needs to be proved that there is a significant defect with this part and have chrysler held responsible? The dealership where my van is stated to me that the tipm has made my vehicle unsafe to drive. Why does this not scream safety recall?? |
