ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR STARTED GOING CRAZY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS (BOTH FWD AND AFT) STARTED, WHILE THE WASHER FLUID WAS BEING DISPENSED, THE CAR HORN WAS BLARING, AND THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WERE VERY RAPIDLY BEING CYCLED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STALLED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND REPLACED IT. APPARENTLY, IT DISTRIBUTES ELECTRICAL POWER TO ALL THE SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. SO, WHEN THE CAR STALLED IT WAS DUE TO POWER BEING CUT OFF TO THE FUEL PUMP. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED, DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SUCH AS THE AIR BAG, BRAKE, OR TRACTION SYSTEM COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

I AM THE OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR A LIVERY SERVICE ON CAPE COD THAT USES DODGE AND CHRYSLER MINIVANS FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PARTS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL SINCE JUNE 2015, AND MY LOCAL DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. FCA KEEPS SENDING ME NOTICES, AND I FIND IT DISGUSTING THAT ANYONE SHOULD WAIT OVER NINE MONTHS FOR THE PARTS FOR THIS VITAL RECALL. FCA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR NOT MAKING THESE PARTS AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
