Description of the problem	The first of many times happened one morning as i was getting into vehicle. The horn, windshield wipers, lights and instrument indicator lights all activated. The wipers sprayed all the fluid in the reservoir. I could not turn these off. After disconnecting the battery, the engine would not crank for some time and the horn no longer worked. The dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty horn and replaced the clockspring, horn and a fuse. A few weeks later, while driving, the horn, wipers and lights all came on and i could not turn these off! Even after removing the key, the engine and all the above would not shut off! Once again, i had to disconnect the battery in order to shut these components off. This has happened numerous times since! Now the airbag light comes on periodically! The dealership is now saying the problem is with the tipm. There seems to be a backorder of more than 400+ of these components. Every week that goes by, the dealership says that the eta has been moved back a week and they will call me when it gets in. To the dealer's credit (after i went a little crazy in the manager's office), they have agreed to pay for the est. Cost of $600. But, in the meantime, is this vehicle safe to drive? Shouldn't there be a recall since there are 400+ of these parts on backorder? Today, i called chrysler customer service and they told me that they would document this. Not good enough! After insisting that something else be done, i was told that a service manager would be contacting me tomorrow. We will see. In the meantime....... I am somewhat fearful of driving my jeep for the simple reason of the unknown. Not to mention the embarrassment that this brings when stopped at a busy intersection and my horn and wipers start blaring uncontrollably. This must be stopped and chrysler should declare a recall!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
