| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep wrangler. 3. 8l, has had a tipm issue for years,i ve had it to the dealer and they could not find the issue, but through research i have seen that many people have had the same issues, horn blowing and wont stop,washer and wipers come on and wont stop until battery is disconnected,door lock work when they want to,a/c blower works when it wants to.. All of which return to normal after disconnecting the battery and then re-connecting, at least temporarily... But every time i drive it i worry about it going crazy... Today it shut off completely on me going 70mph on a busy freeway,almost caused an accident, again after disconnecting the battery(on the side of a very busy freeway)it returned to normal and i drove it straight to the dealer again.. Chrysler knows this is an issue, i will pay to have it replaced myself ($1200)and hope that's the whole issue,but this issue is much larger if you watch you tube videos and read the jeep forums... This will cause accidents or worse..... Chrysler should recall these as they have others..... |
