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 ...

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.
Lights on dash went haywire and the vehicle just died while going 35 mph would not restart or come out of gear when it was stopped. i was stuck on a city street with no lights of any kind. very thankful my daughter was not with me!!
When driving down the road the vehicle would violently start shaking if it hit a pot hole or the road would curve. when the vehicle started to violently shake, steering the vehicle was impossible and it also killed the engine once. this happened driving on the highway and also on residential roads. turned on the vehicle the wipers are going nonstop without being turned on, the turn signals and all of the gauges are not working. the headlights stay on when the jeep is on. this happens with starting the vehicle and also driving.
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.
1) doors are supposed to lock when vehicle gets to a certain speed but the driver side no longer locks automatically. 2) while vehicle was in park, the automatic gear slipped into drive and smashed into a wall and totally shut down. the jeep had to be towed to the dealer as the automatic gear shift would not move and the jeep would not start. the jeep has been in the repair shop for 3 days and the dealership has not been able to determine what is wrong with the jeep.
Key fob works intermittently, causing a safety concern for vehicle access.
