| Description of the problem | The vehicle was in motion when suddenly all the lights on the dash light up, the dials went crazy, the car bucked like it was stalling and then the engine cut off. I had the vehicle examined by a professional auto mechanic and he informed me that it was most likely the total integration power module which is common in most jeeps/chryslers and have had a number of issues in recent years. It is an expensive repair to replace the entire tipm, but not doing so means driving the car is unreliable and incredibly dangerous, especially to other drivers who may not expect the car in front of them to suddenly stop. |
