| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and the engine started dying then taking back off, then all of a sudden the speed odometer dropped to zero wouldnt come back up while i was still moving, then the abs light the check enging light and the brake light and washer fluid light all came on and i lost power to the tail lights head lights and the windows started rooling up and down by them selves. When i got home and turned off the truck i called the dealer and they said that it was the tipm and it would have to be replaced. They said the trailer i was pulling must of had a short and thats what caused it. I told them that i wasnt pulling a trailer and they called me a liar and hung up on me the windows continued to roll up and down untill the batt was disconnected. The next morning i then hooked the battery back up and it all worked fine. No problem a couple weeks later it started again finall found a short in the light control on the right tail light replaced the part that holds the bulbs and the problem corrected itself. Now it has since started doing it all again but will not reset itself i contacted the dealer and they said that the tipm would reset itself five times then would have to be replaced. The veh was not pulling a trailer when this happened and the only trailer i pull with it has the lighting package working fine on all trucks i hook it to but not this one. Please get the dodge company to recall these peices of junk im tired of paying 1200 dollars to replace a bunch of parts to find out its their piece of junk tipm causing all the problems. |
