| Description of the problem | In 2018, the a/c first went out and we went to mopar to have it assessed. We were told it was not a "charging" problem but electrical and need the dealer. A few weeks later, without any intervention the a/c came back on. In june 2019, the a/c went out again and the dealer said "faulty tipm" and the repair with diagnostics would be close to $900. How does a 4 year old car with less than 50k miles incur a brain failure?! I guess it could happen but researching the topic i see jeep has a long history of faulty tipms with only 1 recall. Why does nhtsa allow jeep to rip off customers? It seems clear that jeep has a consistent history of installing faulty tipms so they can reap $1,000 repairs. You cannot see the a/c not producing cold air so i will skip uploading a picture. |
