Description of the problem	It appears that i am one of many dodge owners with tipm issues. At least once a day when going to start the engine, it just cranks and cranks but won't start. After turning off the key and trying one or two or three more times, it will start. The battery is brand new, and the starter is getting plenty of power. Comparing my experience with what i've read online, i firmly believe the issue is the fuel pump relay switch in the tipm. It started months ago, and has gotten worse. My wife drives this vehicle the most, very often with our kids inside. We just have to hope and pray that it will start and not strand them somewhere. So far, we have only had issues while stationary. Thank goodness it hasn't shut off while driving as many other owners have stated. This is why i feel it is an important safety issue. What if it were to shut off in the middle of a freeway or while crossing an intersection? I find it absurd that dodge (or fiat chrysler whatever) would let this issue go while having knowledge of so many tipm issues, even with a class action lawsuit filed against them.
