| Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle used in april 2016. In june 2016, my headlight stopped working correctly. It would turn on and off on it's own while i was driving. After about 6 weeks of the car being in and out of the shop, due to the light working on it's own and them not having the same experience i was having, they finally see what's been happening and they determined that the tipm failed, and replaced it. Feb 2017, my wipers began turning on and off on their own, or just not working at all. They would go on while i was driving, not shut off when the car was shut off, and at times the switch would not even turn them on when i needed them. I brought the car back to the dealer, and they have again determined that the tipm, which is less than a year old, has again failed. They have not determined what is causing the consistent failure of the tipm, and have had it for a week now. |
