Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited began to have an electrical malfunction with 50,441 miles on it. The alarm sounded, wipers and fluid went crazy, lights flashing, power steering failed, and the car would not stop running even with the key removed. I had to disconnect the battery and tow it to dealership. After $130 they said it was a key fob battery. I reluctantly drove away certain that the issue was not a key fob issue. Sure enough, the next day the same thing happened while sitting in the parking lot at work. I disconnected the battery and about an hour later reconnected and it started. I promptly drove to a more reliable dealership, who diagnosed the tipm module. $607 bucks later it is repaired. Chrysler of course has done nothing but deny any issue with tipm modules, when clearly they have a widespread issue with this part (just google search it). This should be a class action case, if chrysler will not recall.
