| Description of the problem | Was driving in the city around 3pm and at random, all on its own, tmy jeeps horn started blaring nonstop, wiper fluid was spraying everywhere uncontrollably, wipers were going off on their own but werent functioning properly and the lights were on without being turned on, stayed that way about 5 miles until we got home and disconnected the battery since that was the only way to turn everything off. Next day, around 10pm, driving on the highway i had my beights turned on, after about 30 seconds, all of my lights turned off and the wiper fluid started spraying, wipers were going off, horn started blaring again non stop, disconnected battery again. This is all coming from a defective tipm (totally integrated power module). This is my daily driver and is putting me out of work and money to repair this if chrysler does not issue a recall. This is a huge safety issue that already got chrysler a lawsuit and is probably going to lead to another if they dont fix this and recall these systems. I couldnt see anything while driving either time, especially at night. This could easily kill myself, any passengers or other drivers. I am also afraid that if the battery stays connected it will cause a fire under the hood since i can hear the cracking sound of electrical wires as the lights go crazy without being turned on. |
