I was driving at night and the headlights just stopped working. I was extremely concerned about my safety as I had no headlights and cars approaching me were flashing me to turn of my headlights. I couldnt pass the MA. Saftey inspection because of this. I brought the car to my mechanic and he has to replace the totally integrated control module at a cost of $900. This is absolutly a safety issue and should be recalled!
I was driving home from the convenience store in my town when the headlights just stopped working. The only lights I had were the parking lights. Car were flashing me to tell me to turn my lights on but they would not come on. I have found out by researching on line that there is a defect with the totally integrated power module. I contacted Jeep customer care and they would not offer any financial assistance. This is a very dangerous safety problem that Chrysler Jeep should recall. The total cost to repair this is $900
Started my vehicle like any other day and suddenly a whole lot of white smoke came out the rear exaust. Then it happened again two days later and again in another day. So I went online to see if there was any problems with white smoke coming out on any 2010 Jeep Liberty and I learned there was a pending investigation involving the totally integrated power module failure and in the description it says there's white smoke present.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the totally integrated power module failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

On 4 separate occasions while driving my vehicle the ABS system on the Jeep turns on and my car comes to a stop. I am unable to move the car and I have had it towed to the Jeep dealership to be looked at. My car has been in their shop 4 times for service. Each time I am told the problem has been fixed and each time it occurs again. This issue is an extremely dangerous situation as my car literally is unable to move and comes to a complete halt. It has occurred while driving on the highway, at an intersection, and driving up hill. The dealership is unsympathetic and I am unaware as how to proceed. Thank you.
As I was leaving work, I started up my Jeep and the flashers started flashing by themselves. After about 5 minutes of turning the Jeep on and off, turning the hazard switch on and off, it finally stopped. A few weeks later, for the 5th time, my Jeep refused to start after a stop at the local pharmacy. The horn has not worked for about a year now, and right before it died, it would honk randomly whether the Jeep was parked, key in the ignition or not. It has also stalled a few times on the freeway. Dealer has recommended replacement of the tipm and says that this is a common occurrence.
