Tipm problems from the research I've done. Car goes haywire! Horn goes on randomly and stays on even when driving! Wipers go on and off randomly even when I try to use the wiper switch to control it, nothing happens. Wiper fluid goes on and off randomly even when not controlled by switch. Doors lock and unlock randomly while driving even when not using the remote. Alarm goes off while driving with the horn. All dashboard lights randomly flash on and off while driving. All these weird events usually occur at the same time or randomly by themselves. Mostly happens when driving or when trying to initially unlock and enter the vehicle for use.

My vehicle begins to act as if it is possessed. When driving all dash lights will flash, windshield wipers will turn on, washer fluid will shoot out. Also while driving everything will lock up making it impossible to control the vehicle. When parked, the vehicle will struggle to start and all of the other symptoms listed above occur.

Vehicle will not start. Turning the key in the ignition causes a click. Electrical is working, as all dashboard lights are on and bright. By pushing on the transmission lever or moving it into neutral and back the vehicle will then start. There does not seem to be a specific condition (hot or cold) that makes this better or worse.

The head lights will not stay on when turned on. When the head light switch is turned on the come on then off and will not come back on. The horn will blow with out pushing the horn button and at the same time the horn blows the windshield washer sprayer sprays water. After the jeep as sit for several days without being started the motor will not turn over. The battery is fully charged and all the warning lights on the dash lights up when key is turned on but the starter will not even try to turn over the motor. After attempting to start the motor several times the starter will eventually start the motor. I have researched this problem on the internet and there was a recall for the totally integrated power module "tipm" in 2007. The problems that are occurring with my jeep are the same problems that were occurring with the jeep recalls in 2007. Please investigate this issue and recall this tipm as well. Thank you for your time.

On november 19, 2007 as I was reversing out of a parking space at a restaurant, I noticed that my brakes were not working and quickly noticed a red dot light above my fuel gauge. I had to pull my parking brake in order to avoid rolling any further. I tried several times to start my car again. Initially, several lights lit up on the dashboard and the motor seemed to respond to turning the key in the ignition. However, after each attempt, the engine cut off after a few quick seconds. After several attempts, there was no response at all to turning the key in the ignition. The car was completely inoperable. This was the second time this had happened. I was actually just a mile down the road from just picking up my jeep from the dealership where it had been serviced for the past 8 days for the exact same issue. I had literally just picked up the vehicle after being told that the issue was finally resolved. The actual receipt from the service shop shows that 0.2 hours were spent on fixing the issue which involved the wcm module. The 8 days where it sat at the dealership consisted of 2 days of no diagnosis, essentially just sitting at the dealership; 1 day when the wcm module was ordered after diagnosis; and the rest of the time spent waiting for the part to arrive and placed on the car. The first stall occurred in my driveway with my daughter and her friends in the vehicle. I was able to just move the kids into the house with no real safety incident. However, this second incident LED to me rolling into parking lot traffic and towards the restaurant sidewalk and building. The parking space was at an incline which allowed the stalled out car to gain momentum as it rolled backward. Fortunately since this was the second incident I quickly realized what was happening and immediately pulled the parking brake. However I did wind up in the middle of the parking lot blocking traffic in and out of the lot.
