Description of the problem | A chrysler jeep and dodge dealership in orlando replaced the factory installed tipm in my 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland with 58,000 miles today at a cost to me of $1230. The tipm controls and distributes power to all of the electrical functions of the vehicle. They had one in stock, and after a little research online i discovered a widespread issue with many other 2011 grand cherokees. Many of the other complaints cite faulty tipm devices failing while the car was traveling in excess of 65 mph causing the car to come to a sudden stop. Others mention lights failing and other electrical failures. There are thousands of similar complaints that i've easily found online. I'm writing to ask you to please initiate a recall or some initiative that will reimburse consumers that unknowingly purchased vehicles with a faulty tipm. The 2011 grand cherokee overland owners have been wronged. |
