Vehicle while driving, wipers start, horn blows, washer fluid sprays, abs light goes on, engine dies making braking and steering impossible.

- St Robert, MO, USA

The TIPM shorts out then the wipers, start running, horn blares, windshield washer fluid sprays, lights flash. The only way to stop it is unhook the battery. This is so unsafe driving on the highway you cant see the road. I almost crashed trying to pull over. After doing some internet research this is so common. This should be a recall it is dangerous! I wont let my son drive it now.

Car was purchased 1 hour prior to incident from a dealership. Car was in idle and was shifted to drive and automatically accelerated rapidly without foot on gas pedal and breaks did not work when breaks were forcefully applied during the incident. The car crashed into a house deck and went off the cement pad and crashed into trees in the yard. Unable to remove key from ignition, had to be placed in neutral to remove key. We had the car for less than an hour after purchase. Damage was sustained to the deck and significant damage to car, air bags did not deploy. Claim was immediately filed with insurance.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or while the vehicle was parked, the horn would sound, the windshield wipers would engage while the windshield washer would spray washer fluid on the windshield, the doors would lock and unlock, and the headlights would turn on an off intermittently. The contact stated that the vehicle would lose electrical and motive power and become difficult to steer. The contact stated that the failure had occurred at least 30 times since owning the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and several dealers who were unable to diagnose and determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that he was informed that this was a known issue with Jeep vehicles. The contact stated that there was a recall for the issue for other years, makes, and models however, his vehicle was not included. The contract also did not have the recall information to provide. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

This has happened on more than 1 occasion. Driving on the highway and I lose power, the Jeep slows way down, the accelerator pedal is dead, and the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light comes on. It does the same thing driving in town. Sometimes you can turn the vehicle off, wait a couple minutes, start it back up and it will be ok for a little bit. Sometimes it won-??t. I have replaced some parts, read forums, communicated with a dealer service department and it doesn-??t sound like there is a -??fix-?? for this. This is very dangerous and someone could get seriously injured or killed.

My Jeep just intermittently started the crank no start issue and gave code PO5013, incorrect immobilizer key. After extensive research I have found many Jeep owners to have this same problem and also found that Chrysler has confirmed it is a built in problem. After taking my Jeep to to dealer and having my keys checked along with the starter and ignition cylinder lock it is the (WCM) wireless control module that is the culprit of the crank but no start issue. This is an extremely unsafe problem due to my vehicle shutting down while driving on top of the other various problems the wcm has caused. Directions say to reset the WCM by pulling the IOD fuse for 30 seconds and then replacing however this method no longer works.

I was driving down a state highway at 40 mph. When my horn started blowing, windshield wiper turned on, lights flashing so I had to turn onto a side road. Motor was still running so I turn it off. The engine stopped but everything else remained on. Horn was still blowing, wipers on...I disconnected the horn wires to stop the horn. I started to move some wires thinking that there may be a short somewhere. Finally everything stopped but now my car wouldn't start. I had to get it towed. Through some research I found it to be the tipm ( total integrated power module. It has been fine since I had it replaced. Fortunately this all took place during the day in good weather. Had it happened at night or in the winter snow or in some remote area it would have caused a great deal of pain or a dangerous situation. From what I have researched myself this is not a isolated incident. Please review this information. Thank you.

Vehicle components begin malfunctioning, wipers turn on, wiper washer pump floods windshield, lights flash, headlights randomly turn off while vehicle is in motion, horn sounds, cannot turn vehicle off. Turn key to off position and vehicle continues to run creating an extremely dangerous situation. Wipers and washers blind driver randomly. Online research all points to known issue with totally integrated power module that has well documented failure rate. This is a horribly dangerous situation that deserves investigation and remediation.

The horn blows on its on, the wipers and washers come on by there self, lights come on by there self, and the only way to turn them off is disconnect the battery. It happens moving or stationary.

2008 Jeep Wrangler has had several issues with tipm. Wipers will come on, horn will sound, washer fluid sprays, and transmission will not shift (when the vehicle is in motion and this happens) intermittently and will sometimes create a no crank/no start condition after the malfunction happens while the vehicle is in motion and has been shut off. Defect has been traced back to tipm and tipm was replaced with an aftermarket remanufactured tipm. Problem resolved and now has reappeared with additional symptoms, such as when vehicle is put in reverse wipers will go off and engine will rev to higher rpms than necessary to allow for acceleration. The tipm defect creates a significant safety hazard when it interferes with the shifting, acceleration of vehicle. Most recent issue was 11/09/2020; issue has been ongoing since 06/2019.

Over the past four months my Jeep has had starting issues. Everything is running fine, go outside and it won't crank. Sometimes it will turn over other times, nothing at all. I've had it towed, purchased a new battery, had the starter, alternator, etc. Checked and all good. Jeep runs good for a couple weeks and then again this morning I'm stranded. This is getting old!

- Avon, NC, USA

Lights flash on and off, doors lock and unlock while vehicle is parked and not running, keys are no where near vehicle. Battery completely dead. Replaced battery. Not made aware of tipm issue. New battery completely drained. Had towed to mechanic. Starter, alternator, transmission, etc all checked and no issues. Had to drove several hours to dealership to confirm/fix tipm.

- Avon, NC, USA

Since I purchased this Jeep I have had starting issues where the Jeep just clicks and won't turn over. Have replaced the battery, starter and the problem continues. Sometimes takes 5 - 8 attempts and sometimes it starts other times nothing. Have gotten it towed and gotten it to the mechanic and it starts when arrived at mechanic. This is frustrating on all accounts and to all involved.
