I was driving from the store, I was coming up to a cross road when my wipers just went wild for reasons unknown. When I went to turn them off it completely shut off putting at a sudden stop thankfully just before the crossroad and I'm blessed my kids weren't with me. Put it in park then tried to start it and it was shortly after when I was able to get it started again. Once it was able to start I put into drive and the whole dash was up in lights, and it was almost like it was bogging the rest of the way, under a certain Rpm it was gunna die and I couldn't get it to sustain at a rpm. Almost like it was bogging down on me. Just hoping and praying it would last till home. Once I got it home it died on me. Once it was parked and I tried to figured it out it only tries to turn over after that it dies on me. For how sudden it happened I just don't think I can trust taking it out anymore especially with my children. I am greatful that myself and no one else was injured if it had happened seconds later it would of been a different story. I haven't been able to move it or get it checked because of work and towing costs. So I'm at a loss for what it could be.

I have a blank instrument cluster, my lights are on and wipers run constantly. No warning before this happened. I cannot turn wipers off or control lights. No safety at night with no interior lights and not to mention. I cannot know how much fuel I have. I have found from research that many Jeep Wrangler owners have the same issue from reading forums. I can disconnect the negative battery cable and it temporarily resets then reverts to the same problem. I have also checked the multifunction switch as I was told could be causing the issue and this is not the case because the issue is still there when the switch was unplugged. I then checked the instrument cluster . Unplugged and plugged back in with only a momentary reset and then back where I started. This is not safe and very frustrating when I know there are Many people with the same issue.

DEALER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COURTESY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL WORK AND THE RECALL TAKES SEVERAL DAYS TO COMPLETE. FORCING ME TO PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR IS A COST TO ME TO GET THE RECALL CORRECTED.

HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT A TIPM ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. TIPM issue. This issue is common and described across the web but is a safety hazard! The headlights will flash 3-5 times then completely shut off. Restarting the Jeep and disconnecting the battery does not help. Jeep dealer says circuit in the TIPM is the issue and that this is common! Lordy have mercy for all the vecs on the road when my headlights started flashing at them and then went out on, of course, an unlit section of the road. But the crazier part is Jeep knew this could happen and doesn't warn the customers. I sure did not know that I might be driving blind at night becoming a safety hazard. The lights then decide to not work for a few days before going back to being reliable for anywhere from weeks to months until you happen to drive at night again and bam they go out again. Luckily the runner/ fog lights are unaffected but as a primary vehicle I can not just keep taking ubers every time it is dark outside! This is such a serious safety issue to loose your lights while driving! There are two common fixes for this. One you buy the TIPM or two you buy non stock headlights and reroute them to your own switch but for most of us, buying a part that Jeep knows will break is crazy and not practical (plus WE the consumer didn't know it would) and the alternative of having to buy a different company's lights to buy pass the wiring in just crazy. It is such a serious issue I do not understand why there is no recall! I'm also so unsure if I can even pass a safety inspection anymore. Also the automatic fuel stopper does not work which is ANOTHER know glitch with the TIPM. This is okay if you know about it because you can hold the handle the whole time while filling up but you can not trust it alone. It isn't like it is all the time either. Just enough to keep you on your toes and plosion the ground with spillage. The first time is scary though.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AS I'M DRIVING, CONDITIONS (STREET OR HIGHWAY) ARE MORE PRONOUNCED WHILE CORNERING... THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO, ITS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLDER THAN THE PASSENGERS SIDE HEAT. PROBLEM LAYS WITH EITHER FAULTY HEATER CORE, AIR DIVERSION SWITCH, OR IMPROPER CHANNELING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN SITTING IDLE, AND WHILE DRIVING. PREVENTS PROPER DEFROSTING MEASURES WHEN DRIVING IN COLD, WET WEATHER.

THE CENTER CONSOLE GETS HOT (LIKE WORRY ABOUT A FIRE HOT) , THE RADIO WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES THE RADIO WILL BE ON BUT YOU CAN NOT SHUT IT OFF OR TURN THE STATION OR ANYTHING WITH IT, NOW THE WIPERS WILL NOT SHUT OFF, IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, RANDOM LIGHTS COME ON ON THE DASH AND GO OFF, THE WINDOWS AND BLINKERS DO NOT WORK. THANK GOD MINE HAPPENED WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH HEADING HOME AS I TAKE 95 HOME FROM WORK. .SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ON LINE. LOOK IT UP

MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS BEEN IDLING FUNNY FOR A WHILE. TODAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED RUNNING WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON, THE HEADLIGHT CAME ON HIGH BEAM WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON AND MY TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HIME FROM WORK. SOMETIMES THE STARTER STICKS & GRINDS WHEN I TRY TO START IT..SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL MAKES THE JEEP SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE DRIVING ON 4 FLAT TIRES DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY TODAY TO STOP THE WIPERS AND IT WAS SPARKING AND THE WHOLE FUSE CONTROL PANEL WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH. HE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT IT IS THE TIPM AND IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM IN ALMOST ALL JEEP WRANGLERS, AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MOST THAT HAD ALL MY JEEPS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2010, EVEN AFTER MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, GLAD IT DIDN'T CATCH MY JEEP ON FIRE. NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT PARKING IN MY GARAGE AS IT IS PART OF MY HOUSE. SO NOW MY JEEP THAT ONLY HAS 74000 MILES AND COST ME 35000 DOLLARS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN'T BE PARKED IN ITS COZY 350000 GARAGE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HOME, JEEP AND POSSIBLY MY LIFE. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AFTER MAKING SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF US DIE HARD LIFE LONG JEEP ENTHUSIASTS.*DT*DT *TR

PCM POWER CONTROL MODULE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND THERE IS NO RECALL?

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE JEEP TO DIE AT HIGHWAY SPEED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON THE NORTH TEXAS EXPRESSWAY WITH NO EXITS. JEEP CAME TO A STOP ON A BLIND CURVE AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO BE MOVED. SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE TO NUT NEUTRAL AND WITH ANOTHER DRIVES ASSISTANCE PUSHED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET AND MY JEEP'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, MY HORN STARTING HONKING AND MY SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND 3 SECONDS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME IT DIED AND SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH MY VENTS INSIDE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO GET MY SON OUT OF THE BACK SEAT BUT MY DOOR SHUT BEHIND ME AND ALL OF THE REST WERE LOCKED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE CAR FILL WITH SMOKE WITH MY 10 MONTH OLD TRAPPED INSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS UNTIL I GOT TO THE BACK HATCH, WHERE MY KEY OPENED IT UP. I GOT MY SON OUT AND ABOUT 60 SECONDS LATER, IT STARTED SMOKING WORSE AND IT TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE. ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER THAT MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT ALL SEEMED TO START UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR.

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TIPM. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. A QUICK SEARCH AND IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. $1000 REPAIR.

WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF, BLINKERS WILL NOT WORK, DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASH, VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING DUE TO FUEL RELAY NOT WORKING.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY REFUSED TO TURN OFF. YOU MUST REMOVE THE FUSE OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR THE WIPERS TO STOP. WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM. THE TIPM IS THE ELECTRICAL BRAINS OF THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS FAULTY PART AND HAVE RECALLED CERTAIN VEHICLES BUT DENIED THE PETITION TO RECALL THE PART IN THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX WHAT THEY KNOW TO BE FAULTY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED A $1200.00 PRICE TO FIX THE TIPM.

KEY FOB WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN FOR VEHICLE ACCESS.
