Consumer Description
ON 11/11/13, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE STATE INSPECTION AND REPORTED THE ISSUE OF THE CAR NOT STARTING / STALLING OUT TO HUFFINES JEEP IN PLANO, TX. HUFFINES DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TIPM. THE REPLACEMENT TIPM WAS INSTALLED ON 11/25/13. ON 11/29/13, I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I USE MY RIGHT BLINKER, MY FOG LIGHTS FLASH. CAR STILL DOES NOT START/STAY RUNNING AFTER STARTING AND IT HAS TAKEN UP TO 8 TRIES TO GET IT GOING. EVEN IF IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR STARTED, IT WILL SOMETIMES DIE AFTER RUNNING A FEW SECONDS. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS LOCK WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR HANDLE. THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE TIPM. ADDITIONALLY, ON 11/29/13, THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON NOTIFYING ME THAT THE KEY FOB BATTERY WAS LOW. I REPLACED THE KEY FOB BATTERY THAT DAY BUT THAT HAD NO IMPACT ON THE GREATER PROBLEMS OF THE CAR NOT STARTING AND THE FOG LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN THE RIGHT SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. WILL BE TAKING MY JEEP BACK TO HUFFINES TOMORROW MORNING. *TR
