Description of the problem	I am having continually increasing episodes where my 2008 jeep wrangler 4 dr 4x4 experiences what i can only describe as an electrical "spasm." all of the windshield wipers, washer fluid manifolds, door locks, & horn all operate continuously, and will not stop unless the battery is disconnected. How can i be sure that this "unknown electrical problem" isn't going to get worse, and by worse, i mean affect something crucial to the safe operation of my vehicle when i'm driving it at freeway speeds? If this vehicle has some electrical problem while i'm driving it at freeway speeds, then a lot of people could be severely injured due to the size of this vehicle becoming uncontrollable. This has happened while the car is stopped/idling, while it is driving, and now, after it had been parked for several days. I have taken it directly to a jeep dealer immediately after both episodes. The first time, i had to wait several hours before the vehicle could be driven. The 2nd time it occurred i drove it directly to a jeep dealer, and they could not identify the problem after several days. The manufacturer should at the very least, be able to identify the problem, and redesign whichever electrical component, or system, that's causing the problem. I would even be willing to purchase the part at the manufacturer's cost, if it got rid of the problem.
