| Description of the problem | 10/27/14- tried to start car using push-button start- car engine would not turn over, however dashboard indicator lights came on, and also a message in the menu that read- no bus tipm. Windshield wipers came on (but the control was in the "off" position), and would not stop even when control was switched on and off. Only stopped with push-button start button was pressed. Tried several times with same results. Called tow truck, had car towed to neighborhood licensed mechanic. 2 days later, was told to have car towed to jeep dealership because they couldn't identify the problem. Had car towed to jeep dealership 10/30/14 and after 1 1/2 days, was told that it was the tipm module & would need replaced. Car can not be driven until part is replaced. $980 for the tipm module & $90/hour for labor, and no guarantee that this would fix the problem. I purchased this car used in may 2014, with 2000 miles/2-3 mos. Left on the 3 year/36k mile basic limited warranty. This car is no longer under warranty & i must pay for this repair out of pocket. |
