| Description of the problem | Tipm is creating a major safety issue with my 2010 jeep wrangler. On multiple occasions, the headlights fail to work on my vehicle on start up or once the vehicle is in operation. The dealership looked at the jeep and stated the tipm module was bad and needed to be replaced. The part was indefinitely on backorder from jeep, and could not even be replaced if it were under warranty. Driving this vehicle that is under 2 years old and has a major safety issue is unacceptable. This appears to be a wide spread issue for a number of years with the tipm module on jeep / chrysler vehicles. This will happen to someone while driving at night without their knowledge, and create a deadly event. Would like to see chrysler take responsibility for this dangerous situation and correct the issue to protect the safety of the missions of people driving their vehicles. |
