I was driving to the store and out of nowhere my car completely shut down the lights engine everything my steering wheel locked and I couldn't apply my breaks
My wipers stop in the middle of the windshield when it-??s pouring outside. Now my horn won-??t turn off! I was told that it-??s the TIPM and it-??s a known issue with my car.
The dash board lights started flashing. My engine light came on and the car turned off the steering was not working and the brakes were pressed to the floorboard. I almost hit a mailbox. Thank goodness there was no child near the school zone this has happened several times now. The mechanic says it could be the ABS
The dealership stated that the car tire's were check I than had to come back 2 days later because of the wheel shaking badly and making a loud noise. The dealership stated that the car had a bad wheel bearing and that they missed it. I than brought car to be fixed and was turned away because of the weather conditions which dealership was already aware of even after telling them I don't feel safe driving the car home on the rain I was still turned away and asked to come back at a convenient time for the dealers mechanics car was swerving on high way due to tire and rain and could have caused an accident
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. While driving various speeds, the brake, turn signals, headlamps, and parking lights failed to operate. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the totally integrated power module (tipm) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to ourisman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (12430 auto dr, clarksville, md 21029, (410) 988-8100) where it was diagnosed that the tipm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 58562756. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 115,000.
My electrical stability light and air bag light come on daily now for 1 week while driving. My interior lights flicker and my check engine light is on but not registering. The recalls and my VIN is not listed
The dashboard console lights keeps going out and flickering at inconsistent times. All other interior lights are working fine. Vehicle has less than 40K miles on it. This issue occurs often.
Passenger headlight, turn signals, and brake lights not working when is started vehicle was in motion. Have put 5 sets of tires on it in the 4 years owned bought new, check engine light randomly comes on car runs bad and goes to 3rpms the quickly drops to 2rpms and barely goes 40mph and radio goes crazy also happens when in motion.
My 2012 Dodge Avenger had recall for electrical system, airbags. I took it to the dealer and they performed recall "N38 reflash tipm." Before this recall was done my vehicle had no problems. As soon as I drove away from the dealer, my airbag light on dash was on, the left rear turning light and left brake light not working, right headlight not working, right front turning signal not working. I let the dealer know what was going on and they said I had "to bring it back in because it probably has electrical problem". this is more than just electrical problem, it is a safety problem. After having the lighting diagnosed and inspected, I am having to pay $1250 for tipm to be replaced for a new one. I am very upset and in disbelief that I have to pay this for a defective or faulty tipm module. I feel this defect of the tipm module should be also a recall and covered by the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that all of the exterior lighting failed on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who stated that the light power module was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 48,300.
We hit a deer and the front of the car was demolished. Upon inspection the next morning, I noticed that an airbag sensor was shattered and just hanging by the wire harness. Airbags did not deploy, I was concerned about this and never got a straight answer from anyone. Now I get a recall notice saying faulty restraint system, I'm not too happy...
