| Description of the problem | Tipm problem - well known but not addressed. Some chrysler vehicles have a recall on the tipm. The routan should as well given that it is based on the chrysler brand. It is outrageous that i have to pay for this repair. To add insult to injury i have been told that it could take up to 6 days to get the part in-house. We are both working parents with 3 children so this makes our day to day extremely difficult. Some additional references: http://www. Carcomplaints.
