Description of the problem	While driving at highway speed, the electrical systems of the jeep started going crazy. Windshield wipers intermittently turned on (sunny and dry at time), washer fluid started spraying continuously, horn honed repeatedly at a low tone, door locks locked/unlocked repeatedly and ac system turned of. Stopped vehicle at highway shoulder and this continued even when engine turned off. Disconnected battery. Waited 1 minute, reconnected battery, and everything seemed fine. Drove another 5 minutes and same symptoms started again and lasted until i reached a gas station. Power washer fluid completely drained. I have been told this is the tpim of the jeep wrangler causing this problem. Not sure if it is linked to a start/stop condition the vehicle has- turn over key in ignition and all power is on but engine will not crank. Disengage key, try again, sometimes will start, sometimes will take a third or fourth time. Have brought this to the attention of the chrysler dealership i purchased the vehicle at in march 2008. They cannot determine a cause. Brought to a independent mechanic. He indicated this would be a tpim malfunction and should be replaced. 2007 jeep wranglers had a recall for the tpim failure. I see there is litigation ongoing for other chrysler products with tpim issues. 2008 jeep wranglers appear to have far and away more issues than other new jk jeep wranglers...

What is Recall?
