| Description of the problem | I bought the 2008 jeep wrangler in september 2007. I follow the service manual and take my jeep for every scheduled service at the jeep dealership. My jeep started failing to start in 2010. I reported the issue at my 36,000 mile service on 23 november 2010 and was told that the service department could not isolate the problem. I have reported this issue on several services but was always told that the service department could not isolate the issue. Finally when i take the jeep in for the 72,000 mile service the fault was identified and is currently under repair. If this has been a known issue why was i not notified of the problem by jeep. I have been stranded on more that one occasion because the vehicle failed to start and i have been driving around for four years with a tipm that could have failed causing injury to me or my family. I am very upset that jeep has known about these issues and i was not informed that there was an issue with this tipm when i reported the jeep was having electrical problems. I had to stumble across a web site reporting this issue with the tipm, this is how i found out that this is a known issue that jeep has failed to acknowledge. |
