I had the ignition control module replaced in april 2016 due to recall. Today I am having the same problem with the vehicle not starting. When I turn the ignition to start position, there is a pause, and nothing happens. I have ruled out a new battery, starter, alternator faults. Research has narrowed it to the PCM, tipm, or the wireless ignition node. Have made an appointment with the chrysler dealer to diagnose further. The vehicle was stationary in my driveway.
Sometimes while driving the car just shuts off with out warning and starts right up after turning off ignition and restarting. It appears to be some issue with the electronic key fob or ignition connection. Of course when a mechanic looks at the issue it seems to work. Scary and dangerous. Happened since we bought it off & on.

Last year p57 recall was performed on my vehicle now they told me that the tipm module is going bad I believe that that was replaced or should have been replaced when the recall p57 was performed I don't know why they would not replace it now I'm being told that I have to pay $1691 for parts and labor there is a class action lawsuit against chrysler this is a real problem for some reason they have not put in a recall and the recall p57 did not fix the problem it is very unsafe the car stalls out in the middle of driving sometimes it will not start at all it is obviously an ongoing issue since 2007 but for some reason chrysler refuses to issue a recall this is the third recall that I have had to get done on this vehicle in a year the s43 was never sent to me the only way I found out about that recall is when I call chrysler about my car stalling and not starting at all I need someone to look into it I don't see why I should have to pay for a faulty product that is in millions of vehicles by the chrysler dodge and jeep brand
Vehicle tipm is faulty and car does not start. This occurred after vehicle was involved in an accident, it worked for about two weeks and later stopped out of nowhere. Vehicle had to be towed.
Tipm is bad casing a no start issue and the car will periodically stall and not restart leaving you stranded in the middle of the road.

We took our 2008 chrysler 300 in to the local chrysler dealer for ignition switch recall #14v567000. After recall performed, the auto rain sensing wipers, remote start, remote trunk release, auto dim headlights and tire pressure monitor did not work. Per the dealer, the antenna connection failed and had to be repaired at no cost. However the tire pressure monitor required new sensors which cost me $514.68. I filed a claim with chrysler and they offered to pay 50% . All of these systems were operating prior to the recall work, apparently the new module could not receive the signals from the sensors. (see dealers statement on attached invoice) my understanding of a recall is that it is to be done at no cost to the owner, if there is a cost, owners will not bring their vehicles in for repair. But for the recall I would not have had to pay for new tire sensors
Tipm module, car will not start and has stalled on highway.
