| Description of the problem | After having occasional difficulties starting the car, my problems finally reached a climax when my car shut off mid-drive. Jeep has explained that i have faulty tipm. I have found through online research that this is very common. These failures have been occurring for years, yet jeep still installs these same tipms. I understand there is a pending class action lawsuit, suggesting that jeep has known about this problem and ignored it, rather than implementing a recall. |
