| Description of the problem | My van seemed to have a mind of its own. Starting sometimes then more and more often not starting! I went to 4 different mechanics and was repeatedly told that nothing was wrong. Eventually, i was bringing my van into a dealership to fix a recall and while there they told me that my vans tipm is the problem and needs to be replaced! This wouldn't be a problem with me if my extended warranty covered it, it doesn't! This tipm deal cost $1480. 00 dollars! I can't afford anywhere near$1480. 00 dollars and now it's in the shop not starting at all! What can i do? How is this not recalled with so many cases? Is there really no one who can help? |
