Low beam headlights do not work. This makes the vehicle useless unless you know you will not be driving in rain or at night. Definitely a safety hazard. A near $50,000 dollar vehicle that can’t be driven except around the block in daylight.
Passenger side headlamp went out. Didn't know it until I got pulled over.
Went to the auto parts store and purchased new bulbs. What a surprise that this did not fix the issue. About 5 minutes later the lights came back on. Don't know what reset it or fixed it but was happy it was working again.
Checked online for other occurrences of the problem and found out it is a poor design and the TIPM module flaking out. There appear to be several of these issues.
Passenger light went out again on my truck. Took it to the stealership to have it looked at and right off the bat before even plugging into it to look at the problem I got smacked with $136 diagnostic fee. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!! So I left really ticked off without paying them a dime.
This sucks that a poor design choice will cost me anywhere from $200 to $1K to have fixed and there is no guaranty that the problem will be permanently fixed.
My passenger headlamp assembly keeps going out. Dealer said I probably need to replace the totally integrated power module, or TIPM. Quoted me $990 just for the part. I didn't ask about the labor. I looked online, and this seems to be an issue for a large field of Chrysler vehicles. Chrysler agreed to a recall on the Jeeps and Durangos, but nothing else. I suspect the same garbage TIPM setup is in most of the 2012 and older Hemi motor setups. Chrysler needs to just step up and recall all of these TIPMs and fix them. Make it right.
