Description of the problem	The tipm is part of the fuse box. Mine first failed while at a stop light. The symptoms of the failure in my case was horn, washers, door locks, wipers all going at the same time. Afterwards the engine would stall and would not start. The engine would continue to run even after the keys was removed. The code was u0141 - lost communication with front control module. I brought the car into the dealer and they could not find a problem with their diagnostic computer. The module continued to fail and through my own research i determined that it was the tipm. When i returned to the dealer, i had to insist that they replace the tipm. They removed the tipm and cleaned the contacts but it not help. I was told the tipm was back-ordered and had to wait a month while my jeep gathered dust. After a month and a number of calls to the parts department i was told it was further back-ordered for another two weeks. At his point a searched for one on my own. I was surprised to see on the news today the chrysler has still not corrected the backorder issue. The plant that produced the tipm's was in japan and damaged during the earthquake. Caused the parts backorder. I was finally able to locate a module myself by cross-referencing various versions. I am concerned that is the have not fixed this problem i may be stuck without a car again. This is unacceptable. By this time they should have retooled a new plant to provide the backordered units. Since the units are not used in the newer mobile cars, i believe the chrysler is dragging their feet on this at the expense of their older customer base. This is unacceptable. By this time they should have retooled a new plant to provide the backordered units.
