    I was told the totally integrated power module (tipm) was bad and needed to be replaced. Never heard of this part until my vehicle started acting up. It would just not start even though it was trying. I thought it was just a starter going bad or something small. Nope! I learned about tafn and the nearly $1,600 it cost to replace it. In speaking with the technician i found out that it could go completely out at…

    Luckily i was driving in a non-congested area in a 35 mph zone when my 2011 dodge citadel lost power and shut off. I was able to pull of the road and it restarted after cranking for a while.

I'm worried i might lose power on the highway. Judging from…
