After starting up the vehicle, the radio and information display will not function at all. When the vehicle is then shut off the battery will drain rather quickly( within 8 hours) and kill the battery. If the battery is disconnected and then reconnected the radio and display will then work. This happens frequently depending on how many time the vehicle is started and stopped.my mechanic has traced it to the tipm, totally integrated power module.

In October 2014 I received a letter stating Chrysler had a safety recall on the frequency operated button ignition key for my Journey. As of March 2, 2105 I have yet to receive a letter to get this fixed. I think 6 months is more than enough time to have this recall taken care of for my car. The letter said I had to wait for another letter stating the part was at the dealer. I have never gotten this letter. Could you please tell me what is taking so long and when this problem will be fixed?
