Description of the problem | At first my back hatch started saying it was open when it was not and running the battery down. Then my windshield wipers stopped working followed by my power door locks stopped working right after i put my daughter in her carseat and walked around to the drivers side to get in, the car automatically locked itself, luckily there was a key hole on the drivers side and i had to unlock it and crawl in the back to get the door unlocked to get her out, which was very hard to do considering i had just had surgery. After i got everything unlocked nothing would lock again. The back hatch is locked permanently because there is no other way to get it open but power locks. Then my heater blower stopped working. It is the totally integrated power module that is malfunctioning and i was told eventually the signals or nothing will work and will make it very dangerous to drive. This is a major safety issue that dodge has known about for a long time. The tipm is on national back order and they have no clue when my vehicle can get fixed!!!!! I am beyond amazed that this hasn't been resolved before now. |
