Description of the problem	In august 2018, i was informed by a reputable auto repair shop that another auto repair shop that did work on my vehicle less than a month prior, "turned off" the check engine light. I went back to that mechanic and they advised that it is impossible to do so, because its all in one panel. On 11/11/18, all exterior lights on the vehicle stopped working. I went to auto zone to get replacement bulbs, but they advised that this was an electrical problem and i should go to a mechanic. I have already spent a few thousand dollars on a 2008 jeep compass including suspension work and other maintenance. I was just informed on 11/15/18 that the tipm is out causing the all exterior lights to not work and the check engine light. The mechanic advised that this is a dealer only problem and could cost me up to $2000. Researching this issue i find that there was a class action law suit against chrysler in 2015. My vehicle was not included and should have been. In fact, all research shows that there are many complaints for the 2008 jeep compass, however this vehicle has not been included in all lawsuits. I was not contacted by anyone. This is a safety issue and now the vehicle cannot be driven until the safety issue has been addressed.
