“The doors do lock through the electrical system. You can manually lock and unlock the vehicle but can not lock/unlock through the electrical system. Cd player also does not work. I believe the issue may be stemming from the fuse box under the hood, I have checked all the fuses and everything shows to be good.”

NHTSA complaint #11395108, filed 2021-02, 123,439 miles“I own a 2011 Jeep Liberty sport 4x4. The tipm is failing. When the car warms up, all of the dash warning lights illuminate, the speedometer fails and the accelerator fails. On some occasions the Jeep fails to idle and dies, on other occasions the car idles too high on it's own like someone is revving the engine all on its own. I have taken it to the dealership and they have diagnosed a faulty tipm module, which will cost $1200 to replace. However, they are unable to obtain a tipm module due to none being available. …”
