Description of the problem | Several attempts were made throughout the day to start my 2011 grand jeep cherokee and it would not start, only a clicking noise. I took it to the dealer immediately and the tipm is bad and needs to be replaced. Obviously, my car is only 3 years old and not under warranty now. The part alone is over $900. 00, which seems questionable that something would go bad so quickly on a vehicle and cost so much to repair. Besides the cost, there are so many complaints for the same issue, and even more serious with the engine cutting off while driving. Is someone going to recall this item before someone gets hurt or even killed????? I purchased this vehicle, and all my previous chrysler/jeep vehicles thinking they were safe for my family; now i'm not so sure. Do the right thing and recall the tipm! In addition, i have made several attempts to get the brake booster repaired due to the recall and the parts are still not in. This has been going on for months now. |
