Vehicle exhibited suspected TIPM issues suddenly while driving in rush hour traffic (w/windows/wipers/locks/horn randomly engaging), the vehicle also shut itself off and had to be coasted from the left lane across traffic to the right and into the bike lane. Vehicle wouldn't restart initially. Five minutes later, it started and exhibited no issues. Because the issue was intermittent and mechanic could not get it to repeat behavior, it wasn't able to be diagnosed. TIPM had been replaced about six months ealier, and no issues had been seen for those six months. But, prior to that, the vehicle had had similar issues semi-frequently with w/windows/wipers/locks/horn randomly engaging.

While driving at 75mph on the I-10 in heavy traffic between Phoenix and Tucson, headed back to Tucson, the vehicle exhibited suspected TIPM issues suddenly (w/windows/wipers/locks/horn randomly engaging). At that same time the vehicle downshifted to second gear into "limp mode." I was in the fast left-hand lane and had to pull over to the right and onto the shoulder, then creep to a rest stop. After the vehicle sat for about 15 minutes, with me worried that the transmission had blown, I started it back up and drove it around the rest stop parking lot and saw that it was now going back past second and into third gear okay. I got back on the freeway and the issue had seemed to resolve itself. Mechanics were unable to diagnose or get it to repeat this behavior. The TIPM issues have most annoyingly been intermittent so that it makes it impossible for anyone to diagnose.

Car wouldn't start in driveway. Upon insertion and turning key, window wipers and soap dispenser went off by themselves, windows rolled down on their own, and horn blared for five minutes straight. It wouldn't stop even after key was turned back and removed. This is something that has happened many times. When the problem first presented, I replaced the TIPM. The car had no issues for about six months, but that is all the time it was free of issues, as the newly installed TIPM began to exhibit similar behavior after about that time period.

My tipm went bad now my speedometer doesn't work, my a.c. compressor won't work, my horn or alarm and a lot more electrical issues because it's out. If this is a recurring problem Chrysler needs to step up.. you're going to tell me that u make a product and stand by it but when this much happens to the very same spot in these vehicles that you guys won't come out of your offices and deal with it head on????...WE ARE THE ONES THAT SUFFER !! THE CUSTOMER'S, BUT I GUESS YOU CANT SEE OR DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT FROM YOUR SKY VIEW OFFICES!! ITS A WORLDWIDE PROBLEM WITH YOUR VEHICLE SO GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!...

Wife was driving when she experienced a complete loss of power, plus front and rear wipers going off on their own like crazy. She almost crashed. I showed up and tried jumping the car didn't work. Tried starting the car again and it turned over, but horn started going off constantly, wipers again, like a car possessed. Turned key off and everything kept running. Disconnected battery and everything kept running for a little while longer.

Had Jeep towed to a trusted mechanic. While he had the car with the battery disconnected, everything started going haywire again. He had to disconnect the Alternator to get things to stop. He said I need to take it to a dealership to have TIPM reprogrammed or replaced.

I called the dealership and they won't stand behind it with any warranty or recall (found several EXACT complaints on this site and others). Submitted a report with www.nhtsa.gov and called Fiat/Chrysler customer relations. They said they were sorry but couldn't help with the fix financially. I guess there's a limit to how long they'll stand behind their product. Too bad.

Basically the horn goes off. Wipers an wiper fluid go off lights back wipe goes off. Pulled the key to shut the jeep off an it kept running. Had to disconnect the battery to get anything to shut off. Once I reconnected the battery it will not start for hours. After a couple hours it will start back up. If you whack the tipm box it will click an sometimes it will start after that. Also the jeep will lose all power an not start. This is very dangerous in traffic. Left my wife an my two children ages 2 an 7 months in the middle of traffic dead.

I had taken a friend to get a washing machine she had purchased on Craigslist and when I was backing the JEEP up to the porch of the sellers home, the JEEP just shut off! NOTHING worked, including my brakes which was very scary seeing I was on a hill with a pond at the bottom. The homeowner brought a large block and put it in front of the tire to keep my vehicle from rolling into his pond!!!

Here I am, a female with another female (my friend), at a strangers home out in the woods and MY CAR IS DEAD! Nice work Chrysler!! Thankfully, after a few minutes it started back up, but this is unacceptable!!!!

From what I have researched, this is a common problem with Chrysler vehicles of different brands and different years. The TIPM is not reading or recording the info of the vehicle correctly, horn, lights, flasher, wipers, wiper fluids, radio and power locks have been turning on and off by themselves, even when the keys are not in the ignition. So many states have filed for factory recall. Chrysler said no thanks, what a surprise! I have just started into fixing the problem, do not know what it is. The Jeep is going to the mechanic tomorrow. I hope he has heard of it. Come on Chrysler let's get it together.

This was the first failure of the TIPM. The passenger side power window would refuse to roll up. Not terrible, but definitely annoying to have to disconnect your battery to reset the TIPM and roll the window up. I made a separate complaint for the second failure, but a little preview is that the wipers, headlights and turn signals suddenly stopped working. After trying to replace every switch and module in the steering column I had to drop another 500 dollars for...you guessed it...another TIPM. Do not buy a jeep.

I bought a 2008 Jeep Wrangler X used from a dealership in October 2016. After having the Jeep for only about 2 weeks the horn, wiper blades, wiper fluid, you name it began going off on their own and the Jeep would not start. I took it back to the dealership that I bought it at (Ford) and was told some recalls needed fixing. They fixed the recalls and it seemed fine for about a week, then all hell broke loose again. I took it back and told them after doing research the problem was the TIPM and I wanted it replaced. They sent it to a Jeep dealership and after about 2 weeks I got the Jeep back with a new TIPM. (The Ford dealership was really great about it). Well...fast forward 6 months later and all hell breaks loose again. I had to unplug the horn because I didn't want to wake the neighbors everyday. This happened occasionally over the next month or so, then the Jeep shut off on me while driving. This seemed to be an isolated incident until yesterday. It cutoff on me twice while on the way home from work. Nothing like pushing a Jeep to the side of the road by yourself in the middle of rush hour traffic. I got out and beat on the top of the TIPM box (which I have found seems to "fix" the issue sometimes) and the Jeep started back up, but the radio stops working (until I switch a few fuses around). I'm beyond disappointed that a recall hasn't been issued for this. Now it's time to call the dealership back and see if I can get another TIPM (which I doubt) and hopefully it lasts longer than 6 months.
