Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED (DID NOT HELP MY ISSUES). NEXT I SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED TO HAVE MY "ELECTRICAL GROUND " REPAIRED (ALSO STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES). MY ORIGINAL ISSUES (THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN FIXED): CAR STALLING, CAR UNABLE TO START, ALL LIGHTS ON CAR FLICKERING. NOW MY REAR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING (THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS DODGE AVENGER SINCE IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN REAR LIGHTS/BLINKERS DO NOT WORK). . THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIPM THAT HAS CAUSED ALL REAR LIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION ANYMORE AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL ISSUES I HAD. THIS IS A $1,000 REPAIR THAT I RECENTLY LEARN THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUE WITH. THIS DOES NOT SEEM FAIR THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD PAY THE EXPENSE, WHEN CLEARLY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM. DUE TO THIS BEING A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMONGST DODGE VEHICLES,. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS A ROAD SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO NO BRAKE LIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS . *TR
