Description of the problem | My problem is with my totally integrated power module (tipm). It is faulty and needs replaced and so are 25,000 other 2011 vehicles in the usa. Part is on backorder and there is a business problem with the vendor. I am flagging this situation as a life, health, and safety matter now because you have on file 5 - 2011 jeep grand cherokee accidents where the air bags were written up in the police reports as not deploying. This goes right back to the tipm which is the brains of the whole vehicle. The air bags are wired into the totally integrated power module. This is the case where you need to connect the dots. There are thousands of us out there that won't start because we need the tipm. What about the other thousands out there that didn't develop the fault yet in the tipm but in the event of an accident the odds that the air bags don't deploy has been greatly increased. This consumer/jeep owner has no faith at all that my bags will ever deploy when needed. When my jeep is returned to me i am immediately trading it in. Nhtsa needs to force chrysler to make a recall, they will never do it on their own.[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
