Filed Dec 30, 2019 · 22,000 miles · FL

Attempted to start my jeep on the street parking and the alarm went off, horn blaring, wipers and fluid on constant, all lights flashing, reverse lights on, and it would not start. Pulled the total integrated power module (tipm) and sent it out for repair. Was told the tipm was in complete failure and had to be replaced. Searched the web and found that 2007-2015 tipms should be recalled and it was rejected.

Tipm should be recalled. Front wind shield wipers stopped working in a snow storm and now several of the electrical components are acting funny.

Since I have owned the vehicle the windshield wipers will come on every once in a while when I turn on the left blinker. I also have a problem with the tailgait. After about 3 years of ownership of the vehicle the tailgate hinge did not stop the tailgate from opening up a full 180 degrees causing the elbow joint to come completely out and my right tail light to be shattered. I was told by the dealer ship that this was common issue, but they would not return my calls/emails to get it fixed.

While stopped exiting a plaza I turned on my turn signal and it didn't turn on at all. It was operational when I pulled into the plaza a short while before. Then when parked the interior lights would also not turn on with the same control stalk. The next day the other control stalk that controls the windshield wipers, horn when pressed from the steering wheel, along with all of the controls on the steering wheel were not working. I was told by a mechanic that it was the clock spring inside the steering wheel. I researched recalls and saw recalls on the clock spring involving the air bag deployment. I then took my jeep to the dealership where they determined that it was the lin bus failure internal to instrument cluster. Also the lights on the window switches have all slowly stopped working over the course of the year. Along with the cable from the antenna to the radio has broken leaving me with no am/fm radio. My jeep has never been stuck in the rain with the top off, has suffered no water damage, has been in no accidents, have been driven with care due to the fact I love it and paid a pretty penny for it. I've kept up with oil changes and tire rotation getting a vehicle inspections every 3,000 miles. I have read multiple accounts of the instrument cluster going bad on 2012 jeep wranglers. This is issue should be reevaluated by the federal safety agency and chrysler. Chrysler please keep in mind that you have loyal jeep owners who value their jeeps and don't want to drive anything else, but we also deserve a quality product for our money.

Windshield wipers stopped working on the highway in the middle of a thunderstorm, creating a hazardous situation. Took the vehicle into the shop, had the fuses checked, wiper motor replaced, windshield wiper switch tested, and nothing fixed the issue. The issue turns out to be a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module), and will cost over 1200 dollars to replace. This appears to be a widespread issue with chrysler vehicles.
