“The van would not crank when I got ready to leave work. I waited a bit, put my halo charger on it and it cranked. The next morning it would not crank. It would turn over but not start. We had it towed to a mechanic who kept it for 4 days and told us we needed to take it to the dealer. We were told that it was the tipm, $1600 to replace, but $400 to do a bypass.”
