Description of the problem	Our truck began stalling the engine at low speeds in dec. 2015, i changed all 16 spark plugs thinking this would fix the issue, it didn't. About 2 weeks after this started, i was trying to unlock the truck with the key fob for a short trip into town. The headlights would flash, but the doors would neither lock or unlock with the fob. I opened the door with the key and started the engine. The idiot lights for the air bags and the traction control were both illuminated. We had never had any issues with any of this previously. Next, i tried to lock the doors for the trip, using the pdl switch and found it to be inoperable. Also not working were the pw, hvac system, horn, and windshield wiper system. This was so very strange that i googled these symptoms and discovered the tipm, totally integrated power module, for these vehicles are failing at an alarming rate. Thank god that my wife didn't stall this truck in a highway driving situation and become the victim of this known and documented safety flaw in these vehicles. Fiat/chrysler needs to step up to the plate and repair these vehicles before lives are destroyed due to this defect.
