Consumer Description

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE GUESSED IT WAS A BATTERY, STARTER OR ALTERNATOR. HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, I SEE THAT I WAS A LUCKY ONE AS THE TIPM HAS ALL MANNER OF ISSUES WHEN IT STARTS TO GO BAD. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO WAIT 3 WEEKS FOR A BACKORDERED PART DUE TO A NATIONAL RECALL OF OTHER MODEL YEARS. THIS IS GOING TO COST AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT IN BOTH REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR COSTS. *TR
