1 Starter problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2018

I was driving on the expressway and my car died without any warning. I brought it to the dealership and they said I had oil in the injectors. They cleaned it up and sent me on my way for $715. Not even a month later I'm still having the same issues and now sometimes it's not starting. So another repair shop changed the battery and starter, after the work they run some tests and say that I have a bad tipm to bring it back to the dealership. I bring it back to them and they want around $1800 now for this repair. I called Chrysler and spoke with them about this and they refused to help in any way with this situation even though we are loyal Dodge family customers(on our 5th vehicle). The reviews online show many people having this issue and it is a very dangerous and scary experience having your car die in the middle of the expressway with no power steering. I definitely think there should be a recall for this part to save the lives of others on the roadways. Thanks in advance.

2 Starter problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2016

The dealership wants to charge me $1800 to replace the tipm, but I see other Chrysler models have been recalled for the same thing. . . Except mine hasn't. This isn't just a minor inconvenience. . . It's very very unsafe: �the fuel pump not turning off and burning out �the airbags not deploying or deploying randomly �the engine stalling while driving �the starter cranks but won't start �the horn going off at random times �power windows not working �doors locking or unlocking themselves my wipers, horn and lights go on at random times. At times it's while I'm driving. . . . Sometimes it's while it's parked. The car doesn't even need to be turned on for this to happen. It's drained my battery a few times and now it's not even drivable. It started back in November, 2016, but has continued through the present. I haven't been able to drive it for the last 2 weeks.
