Description of the problem	2008 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara has had electrical and engine issues including stalling out on multiple occasions as well as not starting. I have had the battery changed multiple times and have had issues such as all the lights, buttons, alert/warning lights going off simultaneously followed by complete engine and electrical shut-off requiring tow-service to dealership. The dealership replaced the battery and said everything was fine. After that i have had multiple stalls and non-starts and the dealership again says i need a new battery. I have had three batteries in three years. The horn has stopped working around 50,000 miles. The first time i brought it to the dealership they said they needed to replace my steering wheel and complete steering column. I decided i could live without a horn for a short while. The next time i brought it to the dealership they reported that i need a new clockspring which also controls my airbags which "might or might not still be functional." seeing as i have had issues with the electrical components before, including malfunctions in the alert/warning lights, the dealership could not tell for sure if my airbags work or not. The locks to my jeep have stopped working from both the inside door switch and the key fob. The dealership diagnosed this as a "total integrated power module" (tipm) malfunction resulting in loss of electrical power. They explained that there is a back-order on tipm pieces nationwide and they do not know when i could get mine replaced. When asked how the tipm could break, the dealership said there was no one way and that it "just happens." my doors currently only lock/unlock by hand, and sometimes when i lock them by hand and return to my jeep, the doors are unlocked. Furthermore, the automatic security lock feature when the vehicle starts moving does not work either.
