pretty bad
electrical problem
I bought this car listed as new, it is titled a 2008 but manufactured in 2007 so I actually purchased the car with less than 8,000 miles on 5/16/2008. So among the other front end problems, in less than two years I had to replace the starter.

Single parent working full time job only transportation. I'm still paying a car note. How in the hell does a person work with that????? Dodge knows that the parts they put into there cars are worthless, but yet they still use them. I think they should be held accountable for it.

The car dealer said it is the TIPM and it was not covered under vehicle protection.

Car suddenly will not crank or start. new battery, good connections, lights and doors and everything works electronically except for turning over. Unhooked battery overnight to reset everything, didn't change nothing. Starter tested fine. Is it the theft device? the key fob? the pcm?
What do I do, reset, look for, test?

Well I had to replace my car battery about 6 months ago because it had a crack in it, and about 2 weeks a go my car wouldn't turnover or even attempt to start but the lights and all the electronic things would work so i know the battery wasn't dead, so open the hood, take off the over thing on the battery look at it, not touching the battery at all, but the cover back on, go to try and crank the car, it cranks.... and maybe 4 days or so later the exact same thing, but the battery isn't dead this time either, nothing is loose on the battery either... so whats the problem here?

The car wouldn't turn over, so I replaced the battery. The second time this happened I took it to my mechanic and he pulled the two modules and replaced them. Both modules (using modules cause don't know proper name of the part) were very fuzzy green with corrosion.
