| Description of the problem | I have filed a complaint previously regarding the totally integrated power module or tipm and have been waiting almost two months for the dealership to get one in. I have heard and read further complaints regarding this matter and i would like to file a complaint on the nhtsa for not conducting themselves accordingly. They filed an investigation and reopened the investigation only to recall the vehicles for a tipm reprogram. Well now all those vehicles reprogrammed are facing a tipm equipment failure and there are no modules in production [according to jeep dealership] lampe dodge and jeep visalia, ca. So nhtsa reopen your failed investigation and complete the work because jeep dealers are charging $ 700-1200 to replace the tipm modules. This is ridiculous how you have allowed the jeep manufacture to correct this error. In november, 2013 a class-action lawsuit was filed against chrysler accusing them of equipping thousands of vehicles with faulty totally integrated power modules (tipm). You own or lease a jeep/dodge/chrysler vehicle and are having issues with your vehicle's tipm, or if you want to learn more about this class action against chrysler, please contact girard gibbs llp at 866-981-4800 or by email at tipm@[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
