Description of the problem | I was having trouble getting my car started. It would crank but not start. Had it towed to the dealer and i was told the tipm (totally integrated power module) needs to be replaced. There is a faulty relay that controls the fuel pump which results in a crank but no start condition. The cost was ridiculous but even worse was that it would take up to two weeks to get the part. In doing some checking, it seems that there are currently over 1300 orders for this part with none available. There is a scheduled release to dealers this week of about 450 with another release in about 2 more weeks. Currently there is a demand of 449 per week. There must be something wrong with the way this part was manufactured for it to break down so much. Or is chrysler just making a buck by taking advantage of us? Either way, i'm going back to foreign cars. American made hasn't been very good to me. |
