Problems with 2010 Jeep Wrangler ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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

My parked/stationary 2010 jeep wrangler caught fire from the center console by itself with no outside factors involved. it was parked inside my detached garage.*dt *dt *dt approval for insurance company and fire incident inspection attached.*jb *tr

I was driving on the highway and my jeep quit. when i looked under the hood the battery, fuse box and wiring were all melted.*dt *as

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. while driving approximately 5 mph into a parking lot, the vehicle shut off. when he attempted to restart the vehicle, the alternator started to smoke. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the alternator was faulty and destroyed the computer system. the mechanic replaced the alternator and the computer. the dealer was not contacted and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 99,600.

After airbag recall service, the horn stopped working and the dealer diagnosis is the tipm module.

On 5/12/17 my wife left for work about 7:20 am, about 20 min. later she came back in our home and said the jeep went crazy, she explained about half way down our drive way which is about a 1/4 of a mile, the wipers speeded up all the lights in the gauge cluster lit up,a constant noise like a smoke alarm started and lasted for a few seconds, then the wipers were going real slow and jumping, the engine shut off and smoke came out from under the hood on the left side. she switched off the jeep and all the cluster lights stayed on. i went to the jeep the cluster lights were still on, i open the hood and smoke was coming from the fuse box. i disconnected the battery and removed the fuse box cover, there were melted fuses in the box and i could see some melted wires under the fuse box. i called a local body shop to come and pick up our jeep. i called my insurance and filled a claim. since there was no fire we had no claim. i rented a tow dolly and took it to stateline dodge in fort mill, s.c. i decided to call jeep for help. they sent someone from engineering analysis to determine what happen. i don't remember his name but he told me it was a massive tipm failure. jeep sent me a letter saying it was not a manufacturer defect and would not help us our jeep has only about 67000 miles on it. updated 09/20/17*lj *cn

Tl* the contact owned a 2010 jeep wrangler. while the vehicle was parked, it caught on fire. the fire department extinguished the fire and filed a report. there were no injuries. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 119,000.

Headlights spontaneously turn off or flicker. after driving for a few minutes. need to turn car off to make them work again. wipers sometimes won't turn off. sometimes headlights will not go on after a few seconds. *tr

Tipm is faulty. power locks non functional. washer pump non functional. passenger headlight stays on high beam constantly even when vehicle is not in use. unplugging battery is mandatory to keep lights off and battery from draining. factory installed remote start does not work. problem occurred while vehicle was in motion at high speeds down the highway. inabilty to wash the windshield is a huge safety factor. as well as the constant high beam to other motorists.

Just purchased this jeep a few weeks ago and, even though we knew the tipm was a known issue, we thought perhaps it would not surface for a few months or years. well 2 weeks ago, the check engine light started beeping. a few days later, it would not start. then today the dashboard lights started flashing & beeping and a few minutes after that, the engine stalled. although i was able to restart it, 10 minutes later it stalled again & i could not restart it & nothing was coming on - no hazards / lights / engine lights. another 10 minutes and i noticed the lights were back on so i tried to start it again . engine tried to turn over but unfortunately it didn't start. waited another few minutes & it finally started. was able to drive it home & am not going to make the appointment to get the tipm replaced. jeep needs to own this problem and make it a recall. its terrifying knowing that i could have been on the highway when the car died.

The vehicle headlights will randomly cut off while driving. the headlight issue effects both headlights and fog lights and will stay out for seconds and on several occasions require several minutes before coming back on both while stationary and while driving. i had the switch on the steering column replaced which did not correct the issue. the problem has been diagnosed to the fuse box. the headlights cutting out is a major concern and when i called jeep for a price they had it in stock which would indicate this is a known and normal issue.

Vehicle was stationary. after flash update on tipm. tipm failure occurred causing starter to "fry". this is a problem that has had many complaints. this can cause problems on vehicles while in motion. can't believe the nhtsa failed to investigate after all the complaints received.

''takata recall'' defective tpm, almost coused me to have an accident while driving in mexico during my vacation the lights went out whle doing 75 miles per hour....took it to mechanic and it has a bad tipm module.

Drove my car and everything was fine. parked car at my apartments and smelled something that smelled like a fire. went to the other side and saw fire coming from under the hood. within minutes the fire consumed the entire front of my jeep wrangler. i never had any problems before this not even a check engine light was on.

The tipm failed which resulted in the headlights not working. there was not a specific event that caused the failure.

2010 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon 4x4 horn doesn't work. works to alert me when alarm is active or tripped only. clockspring replaced as per recall. horn still doesn't work. diagnosed horn. actual horn works. fuse is good. relay in tipm doesn't click. non- servicable part???!!! can't physically replace a simple relay for a horn for under $1000.00???!!! what the... i can not believe this. i need a horn for safety.

Cruise control stopped working a few months ago. today i started getting the airbag warning light flashing on and off. looks like i'll be dropping $500+ for a new clock spring. how is this not already listed as a recall?

Tipm problem. code reader codes are b10ec blower motor over current, b219a ignition start/ lock unlock over current. suggested fix, replace tipm. quoted from jeep to repair is $1100.00

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wangler. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the instrument panel lights illuminated. the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove home. in addition, the vehicle failed to start. the failure recurred three times. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

Dashboard doesn't illuminate, directional signals don't operate, wipers won't stop. the totally integrated power module (tipm) needs to be replaced as i had this diagnosed by a professional mechanic. and i had the clock spring replaced by a jeep dealer as this didn't correct the existing electrical problem. this problem happened after the jeep was parked overnight in my garage and it happened january 2016.

While driving, the horn stopped working along with the speed control and wipers and directional signals . the airbag light is illuminated. my jeep wrangler has just over 30,000 miles on the odometer.

While parked engine began to repeatedly cranked and moved over curb over 20 feet until stop by striking over vehicles and exhaust battery power.

Totally integrated power module failed resulting in loss of horn, wipers, interior dome lamp, dash lights, and automatic transmission shift lever is locked in park.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. while parked, the vehicle failed to start. the failure occurred once. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

On my 2010 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags. this is happening when the vehicle is stationary and while in motion either on the highway or city roads. this is caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. this faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2010 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. daimler chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying."

Abs, esp and trac cont. lights all came on simultaneously. diagnosed as a faulty clock spring mechanism. $587.58 bill from the dealer, to repair. approximately 66, 140 miles at the time of failure. wrangler, 2 door, 4 wheel drive. highway speed, approximately 65 mph. apparently it was not covered by nhtsa id: 13v176000, chrysler recall m31.

We bought this vehicle almost two years december. after having this vehicle around 7 months with no problems, we took it to king expresslube to have oil changed, in which, the wrong oil filter was put on vehicle resulting in a blown engine. king expresslube pair the entire cost of the engine and the vehicle was taken to north point jeep. every since engine was replaced, we have had problems with the car not cranking. vehicle has been towed to the jeep dealership numerous times with them saying, " we can't find anything wrong". was advised to carry a " hammer" to tap under starter to " see if it will crank" . so it broke down again two weeks ago which they had the vehicle two days and was returned stating they can't find anything wrong! would not crank again today and they finally found something! said that it was the tipm, of course that's not covered under warranty and it will cost us 900.00 to replace part! this has been very tacky business practice since i have read today that chrysler has known this is a faulty part and unwilling to stand behind their vehicles! i am very upset that they are unwilling to help in any way! thank you for listening to my story! shannon h

My headlights and marker lights would not shut off unless i disconnected the battery. windshield wipers would randomly come on and not shut off. changed out the accessory switch and that didn't fix anything. changed some fuses and the problem seemed to be resolved. the next day my jeep wouldn't start. jumped it without a problem and about a half a mile down the road while driving all of the dash lights started flashing. my jeep engines motor stalled while in motion on a busy city street with a speed limit of 40 mph, fortunately i had just started slowing down for the red light so an accident did not occur. i sat in the middle of the busy road for ten minutes waiting for the police to push me to an empty parking lot. due to these symptoms and the previous investigation (nhtsa defect investigation #dp14004), i believe i have a faulty tipm. the local repair shop in hubbard, ohio looked over the jeep for bad grounds and wires and nothing was found. on march 6, 2016, the jeep's headlights would not shut off unless the vehicle was shut off, the fog lights light on the dash flashed and the windshield wipers would come on with the fog light switch. the headlights would shut off when i shut the jeep off and removed the key, so i dealt with the problem for a few days until it went away on its own. i'm hoping this is the last of my tipm issues.

Car stalled loosing all power and drivability dealer claims the alternator went bad and fuse able link melted causing me to need a whole new wiring set

Tipm module is unpredictable and shuts down without notice. if it happens in motion it can be fatal

While the vehicle was driven about 20mph, first on line to a traffic light and on about 20 t0 25 feet before the intersection and light was red, and when the brake was applied it did not stop and the vehicle kept moving and it was stopped by the emergency brake. a burning smell got inside the vehicle and people stopped yelling that the vehicle was on fire. when the hood was opened and the fire put out we notices that the fire started at the brakes pump sensor. it burned all the wiring around there to include plastic cover of left hand side wheel, the steering column rubber joint, sensors, the hood and other parts in that side.

Problem light for the suspension disconnect came on. dealership had to replace the actuator because it was full of water and shorted out. couple of weeks after problem with suspension, the tipm module had to be replaced. at time all problem lights on dash board lit up like a christmas tree and vehicle could not be started. had to be towed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. when the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. also, the horn did not sound when it was pressed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tipm and the clock spring malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000. updated 05/11/16*lj *tr

I have been getting radom warning chimed and an air bag warning light when turning the steering wheel while cornering. now it is almost always on and needs to be fixed before next inspection is due. its a clockspring failure in the steering column, a problem common to the current wranglers from 07-2014. there has already been a recall for the rhd models for the same thing but not lhd jeeps. this is my second failure,my 2007 had the same problems as my 2010. its time for jeep to offer a recall and replace this part of the airbag system.

While driving the jeep the airbag warning light came on with the warning chime. the light continued to go on and off intermittently and the chime sounded. i took the jeep to the local dealer who i bought it from and they determined it was a faulty clock spring in the steering column. i researched this issue on line and learned that this is a common problem on this model of jeep. right hand drive models have been recalled for this issue and the clock springs replaced, but there is no such recall for the left hand drive vehicles. the on line information indicated that this issue could cause the airbag to not deploy in an accident, so i had it replaced by the dealer at my expense. this issue should be addressed by chrysler and owners who've had their clock springs replaced for this issue should be reimbursed for their expense. *tr

Vehicle headlights failed to illuminate on activation of the headlight circuit via control stalk. lights would flicker in a specific pattern then go dark. activating high beam circuit repeated the cycle with high beam illumination. complete reset of electrical system (battery disconnected for hour +) would clear up the issue for ~2-3 hours of operation before problem resumed. required dealer replacement of tipm as headlight control circuit is a part of that module. tipm was on backorder when problem first surfaced, leading me to believe that this model of tipm may be the source of the issue. vehicle was undrivable for commute during early morning/evening hours due to lack of forward illumination. all other vehicle lighting and accessories functioned correctly.

Power window went down wouldn't go up..took to dealer when hooked to computer it says the control module is faulty. as a mail carrier this is a detriment to ability to do the job the vehicle was bought for. the dealer also stated that this is a known issue but there are no parts available to replace it. *tr

The air bag warning light came on. after taking to dealership was informed that the clockspring needed to be replaced for $550. this item will not allow deployment of the drivers airbag when not working and should be recalled. *tr

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle headlamps blinked on and off twice then went out. i tried cycling the switch on and off but they would not turn on. shortly after switching to high beams, these too turned off. this has happened numerous times since 9/12/14. *tr

After backing out of parking space, stopping and placing jeep in drive, vehicle continued to move in reverse. dash display continued to indicate car was in reverse. vehicle was placed in park and the ignition turned off. vehicle would not restart. tried disconnecting battery but did not reset. also tried the manual override, which did allow shifting to neutral, however vehicle would still not start. display continued to show vehicle in reverse regardless of shifting to different gears. this could have been a dangerous situation, with potential for injuries to those in the parking lot. also, could have resulted in an accident had it occurred at an intersection or other location. why is this not a recall? this seems to be occurring in many jeep/chrysler products based on vehicle forums. *tr
