| Description of the problem | Occurred on multiple dates beginning two weeks after delivery of the vehicle: 8/6/2018, 8/30/2018 and 9/5/2018. Multiple malfunctions of illuminated red (air bag warning, brake warning, battery change, coolant temperature, electronic throttle control, oil and seat belt) and yellow dash warning lights (anti lock brakes, electronic stability control, low fuel, check engine, tpms, front and rear axle lock, 4wd indicator and sway bar indicator) and audible warning chimes. Additional warnings of "hot oil" and initiation of the auxiliary cooling fan on the engine. This happens under routine driving conditions on urban paved streets with speeds normal at 40 mph and not greater than 55 mph, with clear sunny weather and temperature in the mid-80s. Dealer service department identified the problem as a faulty totally integrated power module (tipm). The tipm was described to us as a "smart" fuse box with diodes that are open or closed supply power to various systems or acting as grounds or relays, some of which impact key safety systems on the vehicle. Multiple efforts to repair have been unsuccessful making the vehicle unsafe to operate in accordance with information in the owners manual. Service department and technicians from chrysler have had the vehicle since 9/5/2018 and state they are having difficulty identifying the cause and may not be able to repair it. Confidence in the safe operation of this vehicle is low. Awaiting further from service department and collection of repair orders and related documents. *dt consumer stated the vehicle has been at the dealer's service department full time since september 5,2018 for the same issue(s). They've had several technicians and factory representatives from chrysler trying to identify the cause of the problem with no luck so far (we are approaching the timeframe to discuss the lemon law and demand a replacement of refund).
