| Description of the problem | While driving at freeway speeds my truck completly shut off, i lost power to everything, including power steering. I had previous had my truck into the dealership for problems with my fuel pump staying on and learned it was a problem with the tipm (totally integrated power module) which chrysler is aware of and has recalls for some vehicles in certin states. The symtoms my truck is having is the same listed in many of the complaints, ie. Vehicles randomly shutting off, fuel pump staying on and draining the batteries, air bags randomly deploying. After researching multiple fourms and website i found its a very common problem among chrysler vehicles. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed due to faulty parts and equipment. |
