| Description of the problem | Same occurrence happened 4 times in 6 months, dealer was not able to diagnose problem. While driving on the fwy in the fast lane at night, the wipers go off washer fluid spraying, all lights flashing, horn blaring, transmission disengaged from gas pedal, after managing to pull over took key out of ignition and car was still running. Mananged to get car to the dealer next day and they said they cannot duplicate the problem, i took my car home and again same incident. I was upset and drove the car with these symptoms happening to the dealer and they witnessed the issue, the technician pulled out all the fuses from the fuse box just to shut the car up. Still could not find the problem. Finally after the 4th time the issue was isolated to a tipm module which chrysler factory said the part was on back order for 4 to 6 weeks and other dealers do not want to sell this particular part to other dealers ( got me thinking why ). Chrysler sells good cars but does not stand behind the safety of them. If anyone else has a tipm problem their lives are at risk just as mine and my families was. The dealer finally got the part after 4 weeks, and so far i pray that my car is safe. *kb |
