(totally integrated power module tipm) one morning I tried to start my car. The car acted if the battery was dead, so I jumped the car. After I jumped the car I noticed that my esp/bas light was on. I didn't think much of it because I was trying to get to work. As I left my house I tried to use my turn signals. They did not turn on. I tried to use my wind shield wipers and they did not work either. This is alarming because these are a couple of same attributes that make a car safe. After more investigation the following things stopped working as well. Horn cruise control front windows turn signals so all of my major components that allow me to communicate with other drivers stopped working all at once. I went to the local Dodge dealership. The service writer told me that this is not a uncommon problem and that the cost to fix this problem would be around $1200-$1000. After further research, the service writer was not far off when he said this is a common problem. After reading page, after page, after page of forums of "Chrysler " owners having the same problem. Further more there is a lawsuit against Chrysler for putting faulty parts on their vehicles without any sort of recall. This is a major safety hazard considering, if this common faulty part goes out, so does most of your visual and audio communication indicators on your vehicle.
