| Description of the problem | I opened the door to the jeep and the wipers, horn and wiper fluid engaged non-stop without a key in the ignition. The only way to stop them was to disconnect the battery. When the battery cables are reconnected, the horn, wipers and wiper fluid sprayer are again engaged. On quick research, it was discovered that this is a known tipm failure issue that can also effect the airbag (preventing deployment as well as randomly engaging it while driving), fuel injection causing sudden loss of power and vehicle control as well as issues with lights and gauges. Issues were severe enough to issue a recall on 2007 year models but similar issues with the 2008 are not addressed. I was fortunate the the vehicle was parked in my garage when the tipm failed and not driving down the highway. |
