Filed Nov 20, 2019 · Electrical · 135,000 miles · OH

No turn signals, no parking lights, no horn, doors do not unlock/ lock, cranks for several seconds before starting or does not start, hazard indicators turn on without prompting. These issues make for extremely dangerous driving. Dealer said I need a tipm replacement. There was a completed recall on the software for the tipm, but now the entire component is faulty and the repairs are over $1000.00

The day before yesterday my car died on the side of the road, I thought maybe I had ran out of gas because the light was on. I filled up with the gas can and the jeep did not start. I tried to jump it using cables and it wouldn't turn over. I went to autozone and bought a new battery, the jeep started after that. Yesterday I got an oil change, they checked my battery and showed me the oil after the change, said everything was golden. I was on my way home when my battery light popped on again, I kind of shook it off considering I just replaced it. Well my car jerked me forward, every single light turned on and my steering wheel locked up. I pulled off to the side of the high way as much as I could and my car was completely dead. I got it towed to a mechanic and they called to tell me that the issue was my "tipm" and that I would have to get it towed to a dealership. As I googled what that was regarding my year make and model I found out there was a recall on this about 7 years ago for my jeep specifically.

Engine dies at highway speed . All warning lights on dash light up. After pulling over to side of road, wont start for 5-10 minutes. Vehicle has done this 3 times in last 6 weeks. Cannot diagnose because no codes are recorded.

Jeep will not start intermittently, when turning the key over the jeep will click once and the starter will not turn over. Sometimes you can try agin right away and it'll start. Sometimes you have to wiggle the gear shifter, and sometimes it takes awhile to get it to turn over and start. I was told it is either an ignition problem or a neutral safety switch, but geared towards the latter. It does it whether parked on a hill, flat, warm or cold. According to many jeep pages and forums this is a very common problem

I just purchased my jeep about a month ago. I had a 30 day powertrain warranty from the dealer, but it did not include electrical issues. The tipm was defective, and my jeep will not start now as a result. I contacted a parts dealer and was told the part is on back order and no release date available.

The horn will not work and the air bag light chimes off and on. And now I have intermittent starting issue. I can drive up the road and cut it offand then get back in and it won't start. But wait about 10 minutes and it'll start right up

Vehicle would not start. Has done this on multiple occasions. Made a click and started to start but then nothing. Battery is brand new. Further researching online there is numerous automatic jeep jk's with this issue. Apparently an improper ground is the culprit- seems there is enough people having this problem to warrant a recall??

The 2007 jeep wrangler stalled, lost power brakes, lost power steering. Tried to restart the vehicle and would not turn over. We noticed flames shooting up outside the passenger side of the vehicle. All 4 of us climbed out the driver side door. I tried to open the hood and flames came bursting out. Within 2 minutes the whole vehicle engulfed in flames. The flames were coming from underneath the engine. It took the fire department nearly 2 hours to extinguish the flames. The vehicle was a total loss.
