The problem is the totally integrated power module. The front windshield wipers activate on there own with no control. The gauge cluster shuts down and all the dash lights turn on. You loose ability to control turn signals and headlights. The radio turns off. The airbag light comes on. This may occour at any time.

Getting ready to go to work I open my driver side door and the horn starts blowing, wiper fluid squirting continuously, windshield wipers constantly going that have now scratched my hood, internal lights blinking, radiator/coolant fan going, all lights on the dash come on, the headlights flashing as they please, the airbag light stays on, and heat stops working. I had to get my boyfriend to disconnect my horn because at 7 a.m. It is very embarrassing to wake the neighbors! I had to disconnect the battery. Now I can sometimes get it to stop by slapping the fuse box cover. At times my car won't shut off with the key taken out so I have to let it jump in first gear while pushing the brake. The first time this happened to me I almost rear ended a car in the daycare parking lot as we all parallel park to get to the front door. This happens whenever it wants to and now that it is getting darker earlier I have to worry about transporting my child with no headlights at night because I have no other means of transportation which this happened to me on the way to pick her up last night 11/12/14. The issue is happening more often in colder weather and is not safe at all to have no headlights working at night because of the electrical issues going on. I took the car to the chrysler/dodge/jeep dealership and had to wait almost two weeks before they could look at it. They could not find the issue because when they checked everything it did not do anything but act normal for them. I see this being a common issue with wranglers lately and am waiting for the answer on the petition and investigation before I decide if this is worth fixing and keeping. Not safe at all!

I was at speed, 55mph, when the engine cut off, it also felt like it downshifted, all the dash lights came on, the wipers turned on. I put the car in neutral and tried to restart the engine, no go. I did make it safely to the shoulder from the far left lane through traffic with no power steering. As I came to a stop, the wipers sped up and the horn started blaring. I tried to restart the engine and it did. But everything was still going haywire. I tried to turnoff the engine and it would not cut off, even after removing the key. After about 5 minutes, it all stopped. I restarted and made it to the dealership. Wipers and horn going off now and then. Pulled into the dealership and the wipers and horn acted up again full blare. Service agent walked out, opened the hood and hit the tipm and everything stopped. It appeared he knew exactly what the problem was and didn't seemed surprised at all. I have seen other similar complaints. This is clearly a high-risk safety issue and it doesn't appear to be isolated. I am surprised that there isn't a recall on this item. I am awaiting call for diagnoses of the problem but it seems apparent at this point that it is the tipm.

I have been in the shop 6 times since dec 2011 for numerous problems. Now we have had it in the shop 2 times in less then 1 week for it not starting. I have put a ton of money in my postal jeep and out of work due to this problem. Finally had it towed bc all the lights on the dash came on. I need this for my job and chrysler could care less. I am beginning to process the lemon law on it. I have put a new battery and cables and had to have it diagnosed 3 times. I am fed up! ( on a sad note I have only owned this car 6 months and have put $3700 in it on what the warranty will not cover.

Car loses power while driving. All dash lights go off and then come back on quickly. Chrysler did recall jeep wranglers for this problem, but when I asked the service department, they told me mine was not one that was recalled. This has happened several times in the year that I have owned the jeep, most recently march 11, driving at 35mph.

My model year 2007 jeep wrangler with the 3.8l v6 engine and automatic transmission continues to lose engine power without warning. When this occurs, momentary loss of engine power on acceleration or at cruising speed and all interior warning lights in the instrument cluster light up all at once. The radio whether playing a cd or just the radio feature cuts out at the same time this happens. This has occurred whether cruising down the highway or in stop and go traffic. Tonight it happened while sitting at a stop light and when I accelerated on the light changing to green, the engine lost power and all warning lights briefly came on and the radio stopped. The engine never stalled, but lost all power and within a few seconds all worked again. I nearly was hit from behind when they started to move forward through the light. This is a safety concern now that I've almost been in an accident as a result of this condition. I'll be contacting both my jeep dealer in the morning and daimler-chrysler about this.

My car wont start. On feb 5th, odi 10217364, I had this same issue and I brought the car to the dealership and they replaced the tim module. On feb. 16th I tried to start the car 4 times - it would turn on for a second then all lights on the dash would come on and the car would die. On the 5th and 6th try it wouldn't turn on at all, just the lights on the dash would come on. It was after 4pm so dealership closed. On feb. 16th I tired the car again, it turned on with the first try so I moved it from the garage to a spot outside. On monday, feb 17th I was going to drive it to the dealership to have them look at it but again it would not start. Just like on saturday, after 4 attempts it wouldn't turn on at all. Had it towed to the dealership again. This is the 5th time that the car has gone into the dealership for stalling/not starting and the 8th time that this stalling/not starting problem has occurred.
