DURING REPAIR OF SAFETY RECALL N38/NHTSA 13V-282 ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS, GRIFFIN DEALERSHIP WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ABS SENSOR AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTING UP DASH, ALSO SPEED CONTROL DISENGAGING. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP DID A 'FIX' REFLASHING THE TIPM.
NOW THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START-CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUING TO RUN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF-UNEXPECTED DRAINING OF THE BATTERY- VEHICLE WON'T START AT ALL. HAVE BOUGHT NEW BATTERY, BUT CONTINUES TO WORSEN. THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A FAULTY TIPM. 2011 DODGE NITRO HAS 60,200 MILES ON IT AND NOT DEPENDABLE.
DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE REPLACED TIPM MODULE IN 2012-WHEN PROBLEM WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION - THE TIPM MODULE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT REPLACING IT IN 2012.
