| Description of the problem | Without warning, my 2007 jeep compass completely died and would not start. I had it towed to a mechanic who initially thought it was the computer. After further testing, however, they determined that the totally integrated power module (tpim) was defective and had also fried out the computer, requiring that both parts be replaced for a total of nearly $2,000. Given that this is a defect that many jeep users are experiencing, the part is on back order and i've been without a vehicle for my 3 year-old daughter for nearly 2 weeks. The jeep could have stalled out while driving or could have left us stranded. Chrysler needs to issue a recall on their faulty tpim's and replace all the damage that they cause! |
