Engine will stumble and stall when driving and headlights are illuminated, windows are rolled down or any electrical drain occurs. This is an indication of tipm failure.
Wipers started malfunctioning,seemed to get better, reached destination shut vehicle off. Three hours later would not start, towed to repair facility, then towed to dealership. Dealership determined it was the tipm, they said it was a first for a compass.upon doing some research this seems to be a frequent occurrence with quite a number of chrysler vehicles.

On 8/20/2014, my windshield wipers stopped working after a couple miles driving in a downpour. I feared for my safety and the safety of other vehicles on the highway from the point the windshield wipers "froze" vertically in my field of vision until I could pull over to safety. From that day on, my windshield wipers were inconsistent and they would work about every other time I started my 2011 jeep compass. Sometimes they would work when I started my car, but quit sometime during my commute. I took my car into the dealership on 9/5/2014 and was told my tipm was defective causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently and it needed replaced. I ordered the part and scheduled an appointment to have the tipm replaced on 9/9/2014. After getting home from the dealership, I google searched tipm and was disgusted by the numerous complaints of chrysler, dodge, and jeep vehicles with this issue. Chrysler knows about this issue and they need to be held accountable for the faulty and defective part. This needs investigated and a recall initiated. The total repair cost me $979.45. I should not have to pay for a known issue affecting thousands of other chrysler, dodge and jeep vehicles.
My 2011 jeep compass that I bought new for $23,000.00 has 56,000 miles and wouldn't start. It is not reliable. Many times I had a loss of power. Had it towed to the dealership and they charged me $900.00 to fix it. They said I needed a new totally integrated power module. They said that my computer wasn't telling the engine to start and that was why all the lights were on in the dash but the car wouldn't start and that was also why I had a total loss of power. I spent the money to fix it at the dealership. Not a week later I had the same problem!! I just spent $900.00 to fix 3 yr old jeep that I bought new foe 23 grand, so I would have something reliable for my 20 yr old daughter to drive while she was away at college and all that money was for nothing as my kid has a piece of junk that breaks down all the time. I looked online and saw all the problems that people are having with their jeeps. And saw how chrysler still hasn't done a recall. Please look into this. I lost alot of money on a car that is worthless I cannot have my daughter drive an unsafe car. I will have to sell it. Please look into this asap. It's just not right that this large corp won't stand behind their product. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
