I have a 2011 dodge avenger express and have an issue with my windshield wipers. They only work on the high setting. When I went to the local dealer they told me that I needed a new motor that would cost $200. When I took it back in for that repair they told me that a new motor wasn't called for but a tipm was needed at the request of dodge/chrysler at the cost of $800.00. There is a recall for the tipm but it starts in june of 2011 and my car was made in february of that year. Is there something I can do? There is no way I can come up with $800.0 for this.
