NHTSA Complaint #11241950 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER

THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY MY CAR DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I FILLED UP WITH THE GAS CAN AND THE JEEP DID NOT START. I TRIED TO JUMP IT USING CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, THE JEEP STARTED AFTER THAT. YESTERDAY I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SHOWED ME THE OIL AFTER THE CHANGE, SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOLDEN. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN MY BATTERY LIGHT POPPED ON AGAIN, I KIND OF SHOOK IT OFF CONSIDERING I JUST REPLACED IT. WELL MY CAR JERKED ME FORWARD, EVERY SINGLE LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGH WAY AS MUCH AS I COULD AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS MY "TIPM" AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS I GOOGLED WHAT THAT WAS REGARDING MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO FOR MY JEEP SPECIFICALLY.
