2014 Jeep Wrangler: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Feb 10, 2021 · Electrical · 58,000 miles · CA

The ignition appeared to go out on our 2014 jeep wrangler. When you turn the key in the ignition, there was no sound. It did not try to crank. All other electrical components like headlights, radio, etc still worked. I took it to auto nation jeep in roseville and they said the tipm needed to be replaced at $1400. The vehicle was stationary in the garage.

2014 jeep rubicon. Very well taken care of. Less that 19,000 miles. 7/10/18, jeep ran fine in morning and afternoon. Tried to start after work (4:15 pm) and would not turn over. Jump start battery and drove to dealership. Nothing on dash was working while driving. Speedometer needle bouncing. While driving all lights were on and flickering. Even headlights. Vehicle felt as though it was surging. Was told there was a recall on the alternator for the 2014 jeep but not the wranglers. Again, less that 19,000 miles. Diagnostic result was alternator went bad and burned up battery. Both being replaced at performance dealership in lavista, ne 68128. I cant understand how an alternator goes bad on a jeep with less than 19,000 mile. The jeep is outside of warranty and we are covering all cost. Should wranglers have been included in the 2014 alternator recall?

Overnight failure while parked: started jeep in the morning and discovered no interior dome light upon entering, no turn signals, no headlights, no wiper controls, no steering wheel controls, no seat heaters, no esp control. Troubleshooting revealed a grounded clock spring causing critical system failures rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. These same clock springs were recalled by the federal safety agency on may 11, 2016 under campaign number 16v288000 only on right-hand drive vehicles for "contamination failures" causing air bag failures where they were replaced and a more protective steering wheel trim shroud was installed. It's safe to say that the left-hand drive vehicles are experiencing the same failure and are no more exempt from these contamination failures. It's also safe to say, I have the same failure and the same air bag malfunction that, thankfully, I did not discover. Thank god I was not in an accident where the air bag didn't fire, or I would have had need to hire an attorney.

The adhesive layer between the two layers of glass on the front windshield has numerous crystals that refract the light. This is interfering with visibility during low light situations, illumination by headlights, or with low angle light from multiple sources including sunrise and sunset.

At around 3:45 am, while I was sleeping, the horn on started intermittently blaring. I looked out the window and the reverse lights were on (at full brightness). For the next hour, it would start and stop randomly. I finally disconnected the battery in frustration. Earlier the previous evening, the headlights came on and stayed on. I had not used the jeep for the previous two days. This issue is clearly related to the totally integrated power module (tipm) which has already been replaced once in this vehicle (which had caused the jeep to stall -- and completely die -- several times). I am extremely concerned for my safety with this vehicle and this issue. This is a serious problem that has already cost some people their lives. Please address this and force jeep to do a recall.
