The airbag clock spring is needed to be replaced, it has to where all the lights come on the dash board and the part is only factory made at an outrageous price.

Tipm failure in transit. Jeep stalled on roadway. All dash lights lit, and "no bus" on the odometer. Near collisions but lucky they managed to stop. 2008 jeep liberty limited. Is not open for a recall on the tipm replacement though all other years with same module are. '07 09' and later. Not safe. And potentially deadly.

When starting my car it drives okay, but if let running all the lights come on, and if I drive 5 minutes down the road it goes off and then bings and all comes back on. I am being told it may be my clockspring and most 2008 jeeps are experiencing that after 100,000 miles but it is not a recall issue. I has the check engine on constantly as well as the airbag sensor.

Vehicle is experiencing a tipms failure causing the door locks to not function along with sporadic events where all the gauges will go dead, all the warning lights will turn on, radio won't shut off, wipers turn on even when they are set to the off position. All of this occurs while driving the vehicle. Turning off the vehicle fixes everything except the door locks for a random period of time.

Bought the vehicle in va on 2/19/18, driving home to me and after 50 miles in rain the horn started going off every time the wipers moved. Pushed the horn button and the washer fluid started squirting out. Was able to pull over and had to shut the jeep off then was able to continue. Stopped in ct for gas and got back on the interstate and the all lights turned off on the outside but all the dash warning lights turned on, wipers turned on, horn turned on, washer fluid sprayer went continuously and the motor would stop and start on its own, while moving! Luckily, made it to the side of the road and turned the ignition off but all electrical components continued to go off randomly then the car would not restart. After turning the key on and off multiple times, moving the shifting lever, pulling fuses from the panel under the hood and putting them back in it started running again. This happened a second time about 100 miles later. Was able to get the car back to me but after I shut the jeep off and started it back up the horn and wipers started going off without any switches being touched. Looked this issue up online and found that this is a very common problem for jeep/dodge/chrysler vehicles made in and around this time. Had a recall been done I would have known this was a possible issue and been able to make a better choice of a car to buy for my daughter. There was a real danger of getting into an accident when all of the lights went out while driving in the rain on a busy interstate and then the motor turning off and on while in traffic.

I was driving on a main highway and all lights started to flash. All needles started to jump around and then everything went black and car died including no flashers. Battery was replaced a month before with yearly inspection the month before as well.

February 2014: opened my car with the key when the fob wouldn't work. Horn and radio blared, both front and rear windshield wipers turned on, in addition to all dashboard lights. Continued for 10 minutes until battery was disconnected. In that time, the car would not start. After 5 minutes, the battery was reconnected and the car started without issue. April 2014: while turning into a gas station, my jeep completely stopped. After waiting 2 minutes it started again. I took it to my local mechanic who cleaned corrosion around the battery. 2 weeks later, I was driving on a 3 lane highway, began to decelerate and at approximately 25mph, the jeep's engine turned off. At the same time, all of the dashboard lights turned on in addition to the horn and windshield wipers. Thankfully I was able to coast to the shoulder without incident, where the jeep continued the same behavior for about 10 minutes, and then abruptly stopped. The car would not start again until the battery was disconnected and then reconnected. I brought it to a chrysler dealer that evening and detailed the issues. They monitored it for 3 days, but ultimately returned the car stating they could not find any issues but could replace module for almost $1000! May 2014: replaced the battery and had minimal issues including windshield wipers randomly starting and stopping, but no horn or shut down issues, until... June 2014: a similar incident occurred that mirrored the april deceleration incident. At this point I disconnected my horn--a safety issue, but the blaring was becoming increasingly inconvenient. A week later the car turned off while pulling into a parking space. When I exited the the store and attempted to start the car, it started without incident. Since june, the jeep has only exhibited minor issues such as the windshield wipers randomly starting, but it's only a matter of time.

At startup, first noticed windshield wipers were on and would not shut off. All dash lights, gauges, etc were not operating. Vehicle could not be taken out of park position. (vehicle was used the night prior in a light rain) turned vehicle on and off several times to no avail. At dealership was told the cluster was bad..but there are so many having this problem that the part is backlogged by 4 months or more. Computer was reflashed, so everything is working except the odometer. Cannot pass inspection without getting a new cluster since that is the only means to show the odometer..yet its backlogged 4 months. How is this possible if its a vital truck part?
