There seems to be thousands of cases on the internet like mine. The car won't start when cold. To get it to start, you have to try and try pushing the starter button. Eventually, it will start after 10-25 times. I'm told this is caused by a defective tipm (computer). I'm told that eventually the car won't start at all. I see this as a safety issue, as if you can't get your car started you can get into a lot of…

The tipm that controls the air bags and fuel pump along with many other systems is faulty. There is a nationwide demand for new tipm systems for jeeps but no supply. Chrysler is saying a new tipm system is back ordered for several months forcing jeep owners to drive unsafe vehicles that could shut off at any moment and not deploy the air bags. This has become a nationwide problem. *tr

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…

My 2011 overland began hesitating while driving on friday 9/6. Was able to return home safely. Turned off the engine and then was unable to restart the vehicle. Had the vehicle taken to a local dealership and was told that the tipm module had failed which chrysler is aware of the faulty part and has already changed manufacturers.

My 2011 jeep grand cherokee finally stopped on september 2, 2013. I had to have it towed to the nearest jeep dealership. After three weeks of it not wanting to start and leaving me stranded several times i was forced to buy a new battery only for it to do the same thing. Today it was diagnosed as having a bad tipm. But that's not the bad part, a tipm is $1200.00 and it is on back order indefinitely! Looked it up…

The tipm, a part of the computer, has failed and the vehicle will no longer start. Vehicles have also been known to stall, although this did not happen to me. Chrysler has failed to recall despite hundreds of issues. My small dealer in greensboro, nc has 4 vehicles with this issues. There are no parts available, and they are giving no estimate on when parts will be available. So far chrysler has failed to recognize…

Forum after forum of the same issues are happening to make and model. Users are unable to start car because of tipm issue. Apparently people have even lost power to car while driving. The tipm is also connected with air bag deployment and it will not deploy should the car lose power and hit anything. Most people cannot even afford to replace the 1200 issue. This should be a national recall or expect many accidents…

2011 jeep grand cherokee suddenly failed to start reliably. Especially after sitting overnight, it would take multiple attempts to start. Initially, the jeep dealership service department failed to diagnose the problem. Eventually after dealing with this "fail to start" situation for a month, the dealer diagnosed that the totally integrated power module (tipm) needed to be replaced. The problem began just days after…
