I finance this Jeep in 2014. Only had the car for 2yrs. Currently making payments on the car. My Jeep just stop running on me. Took it in first problem the alternator had it replace. Then while driving it stop running again now I'm told it's my tipm. Which is gonna cost me over $1,000 to have that replace. Did some research on it. A lot of other ppl are complaining bout the same issue with the tipm. Something needs to be done bout this problem. To many issues with that same part. I had my Jeep tow 4 times.
