While parked in driveway, the horn started blowing erratically, headlights were on, and front and rear windshield wipers and washers operating. Door locks would not respond to remote. After s short period of trying to unlock the doors with the remote, they either responded to the remote or unlocked by themselves. At that point I attempted to turn the ignition on and start the vehicle. I started it and then turned it off but that did not stop the horn, wipers, etc. A few seconds after shutting the ignition off, everything stopped. Front and rear wipers did not return to park position until I manually turned them on and off. I started the engine again and had a check engine light with error codes related to the TCM, transmission control module. In addition, while driving, the heater blower motor intermittently stops working. All of this appears to be the result of a faulty tipm,totally integrated power module. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. First occurrence was 1/11/18 and second occurrence was 1/16/18. Searching online revealed that mine is not an isolated problem as there are many reported instances of tipm failures with similar symptoms.

All the code light flashing on the dashboard, wiper automatically come on, speedometer cuts down to 0 when driving, driver side windows wouldn't roll down or the lock switch wouldn't unlock doors, lights flicker on and off while they are shut off, if lights on can't use bright light they cut out when all the code light flicker on. Like it shorting out. It does this sitting still or in motion. Happens when I am driving or sitting in a parking lot

Driving down freeway and van stalled. Coasted to road side. Wipers go crazy when car is parked and drain all the cleaning fluid out. Have not been able to clean windshield of excess dirt to see more clearly. Car has gone crazy. Everything electrical goes berserk randomly. Never know what may or may not work.

Can turn on headlights, then one goes out, blink off and on then go off completely or don't come on at all when turned on. Happens when stationary or in motion. Switch is good. Headlights replaced. Have been told by the mechanic that I have to replace the defective tipm (totally integrated power module) that tested bad. Have read multiple reports of the same issue. This is definitely a safety issue when driving!

The instrument panel randomly lights up with all warning lights and chimes going off simultaneously, the windshield wipers activating and headlights flashing. Stopping the car, turning it off and on doesn't reset the problem, but it randomly goes away and doesn't happen again for two weeks or a month. It happens when the vehicle is stopped or in motion, while the vehicle is running. I see an open the federal safety agency investigation matching this on my vehicle, for a tipmodule
