    After reading many other complaints i see that my vehicle seems to also be suffering from a faulty tipm. My first attempt to start the car most days is met with what seems to be a lack of fuel but every other attempt to start the car the same day is successful without incident.

    It began a couple of weeks prior to 8/14/14 where the car would take several tries to start. I would press the start button and the car would not turn over and start. Finally on 8/14/14 it was at it's worst taking many more tries and barely started when i left work and again picking up my child from school. I made it home but it wouldn't start again after that. We had the car towed to the dealership on 8/19/14. We…

    Chrysler is still not making this part available to dealers so that it can be installed. This part can fail without warning and cause the engine to stall while in motion. My dealer is ready and willing to replace this relay, but it is not yet in production. *tr

    Lever operating high beam/bright head lights does not click into place. When pressed forward to engage high beam lights, the lever often returns back to its previous low light position on its own. Additionally, it automatically returns to low light position when you try to use turn indicators.
