| Description of the problem | I shut the vehicle off and went back to start. I was able to turn electronic key the electronics came on but it wouldn't turn the engine over. Went back the next day and it did start, took to spirit jeep, swedesboro, nj. They ran diagnostics and determined to be win module. Contacted chrysler and told it was not part of the recall, i am having fixed anyway. Prior to this there were two incidents that may be related, around a month or two before the motor turned off while in traffic, i shifted to neutral and restarted. I thought i may have hit the key with my knee. The second incident was that the airbag alarm on the dash came on, had it diagnosed at a local garage and they said that it was the passenger seatbelt was defective so i believe he disarmed the airbag. After looking online it seems that these are repetitive problems with chrysler products. And are related to the l25 recall. This is no cheap fix $750 for module and 2 keys. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. |
