Just resolved an ignition recall problem on the vehicle because of problems with independent wipers going off, horn going off,vehicle stalling while driving and doors locking and unlocking..dodge replaced ignition and win module but problem began when I tried using AC or heater..I just brought the car 2 months ago and it has stalled on hgihway 3 times and on the road numerous times. Im afraid to drive the car. The check engine light turns on but goes out intermitently. Sounds like the itpm problem everyone is having ..cant afford another 2000 dollars to fix

Was driving home at night when randomly my lights started flashing, horn started blaring, windshield wipers started going off, washer fluid was spraying everywhere. Locks were locking and unlocking. I ended up driving into someone's lawn as I could not see properly with poor lighting and all the distractions. Once I got home the vehicle continued to be possessed even without the key in the ignition. I was finally able to get everything to stop after unplugging the battery. Upon internet research it didn't take long to realize it was tipm fuse box issue, I have found several other customers with the same box having the same issues. I have gone to the junkyard 3 times and grabbed a used tipm fuse box replacement. The first replacement the car would not start. Second replacement there was a lot of trouble lights on the dash and the odometer did not work. With my most recent replacement the headlights don't work. So including my original tipm , that's 4 faulty tipms. Do you notice a problem or pattern here?

Many issues, appear to be related to the tipm. Headlights intermittently stop working, as do the windshield wipers(various times, when driving/when starting the car). Car horn beeps when driver door is opened. Air conditioner/heater intermittently stops working (when driving), will usually come back on after pulling over and restarting the car. Very dangerous in the winter.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge caravan. The contact started the vehicle and hot air circulated through the vents without activating the heater. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000. Updated 05/10/16*lj the consumer stated he could not defrost or keep the windshield clear. Hot air came out of the vents, as if the heat was on. Updated 05/10/16.

Car was not running and keys were not in the ignition, they were laying on the dash. No one was in the vehicle. When the passenger's front door was opened the horn started honking and windshield washer started spraying (wipers were not activated).it lasted only a couple seconds and stopped. It also activated the driver's side mirror's auto dim feature. Once I was on the road discovered it also prevented the car from shifting out of first gear. I tried manually shifting and slipping it from drive to neutral but that had no effect. The indicator light showed no response to the manual shifting it just remained on the "d". The van did go into neutral and the indicator light showed "n". I didn't try the van again until 24hrs later and everything was working fine. After researching online I see there is an obvious problem with the tipm and will be replacing it. If this would have occured in heavy traffic there would have been a definite safety hazard issue. I was lucky it happened at home and it only lasted a few seconds. Others have not been that lucky!! This is a serious issue that if it hasn't already it very easily could have deadly consequences. Make the recall!!

Vehicle wipers and washers start on their own, horn will blow, lights flicker, door locks open and close, vehicle will not shut off or sometimes will not start. This has happened both while driving and stationary.

Windshield wipers come on all by themselves and can not be turned off. All gauges on front dash short in and out, including blinkers. Difficult to concentrate on driving when the wipers are going, there's a alert "ding" sound going off, and gauges are going crazy on the front dash. Dealership states that it is tipm module and want $900 to replace it.

When clicking off my high beams, my wipers came on. I was unable to shut them off. At the same time my high beams, turn signals and rear wiper stopped working. While my front wipers were going non-stop despite being shut off, the washer fluid did not work (front and back). When I took it to my garage I was told the tipm had to be replaced but it was currently on national back order and they didn't know when they could get their hands on one. For the time being I have had to make due with disconnecting the battery for 7-10 minutes and then all systems work again, I am not sure how long this will work for but currently the only option.
