Consumer Description

TIPM- DOOR LOCKS SHORTED OUT, FUEL PUMP QUITS STRANDING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET, WILL NOT RESTART WITHOUT PULLING AND RESETTING THE IOD FUSE, CAUSES AIRBAG LIGHT TO FLASH FAULT, REAR WIPER QUITS. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE OR UNABLE TO BE USED. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND WOULDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THIS IF THROUGH RESEARCH I HAD NOT FOUND HOW MANY FAILURES EXPERIENCED BY MANY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THIS PARTS FAILURE RATE. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN WENT TO RESTART IT IT WOULD NOT RESART, THEN THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY LOCKING ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS IN IT. I RESET THE IOD FUSE AND IT STARTED. THEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, AIRBAG, TCS, ANTI THEFT, TIRE PRESSURE, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL ALL CAME ON THEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IT WOULD START THEN RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THROUGH RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE RELATED TO THE ANTI THEFT IN THE TIPM-. TRIED REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK FUSE AND IT STARTED ARCING AND SMOKING. VEHICLE IS PARKED NOW WITH A TIPM- ON ORDER. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW AND IF IT WAS NOT SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WOUL NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT A PART FAILURE AT TEN YEARS.
