| Description of the problem | I was getting into my vehicle and turned on the car. Immediately after i turned it on my windshield wipers began starting (with them off) and wouldn't stop. I turned my car off and they continued to keep moving. I tried to move my car into the garage and my car wouldn't come out of park. Then i started smelling a really bad smell of something burning so i called my local auto shop asap because the smell wouldn't stop and he had me disconnect the battery to shut everything off. My car had to be towed to an auto shop to get fixed. I was top the tipm module was faulty. I had to get a whole entire new module which cost 1,200$. I was told that this could have happened in the middle of me driving the car and i was lucky that it only happened when i was parked. I was also told by many other people who drive a chrysler, dodge, or jeep that this is a very common problem in older models. I feel very uneasy driving my car now. |
