Description of the problem	I was at speed, 55mph, when the engine cut off, it also felt like it downshifted, all the dash lights came on, the wipers turned on. I put the car in neutral and tried to restart the engine, no go. I did make it safely to the shoulder from the far left lane through traffic with no power steering. As i came to a stop, the wipers sped up and the horn started blaring. I tried to restart the engine and it did. But everything was still going haywire. I tried to turnoff the engine and it would not cut off, even after removing the key. After about 5 minutes, it all stopped. I restarted and made it to the dealership. Wipers and horn going off now and then. Pulled into the dealership and the wipers and horn acted up again full blare. Service agent walked out, opened the hood and hit the tipm and everything stopped. It appeared he knew exactly what the problem was and didn't seemed surprised at all. I have seen other similar complaints. This is clearly a high-risk safety issue and it doesn't appear to be isolated. I am surprised that there isn't a recall on this item. I am awaiting call for diagnoses of the problem but it seems apparent at this point that it is the tipm. *js
