Problems with 2010 Jeep Wrangler EXTERIOR LIGHTING

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

The head lights have stopped working. they flash when i start the jeep and when i turn on the light switch. the problem started when i changed the battery. i can't drive it at night anymore. the web is full of this same complainant. i had the system scanned and get codes b162f & b162b. how can this problem exist? i'm talking about head lights. the running lights are not affected.

Tipm issues. the headlights will randomly flash 3-5 times equal in length and then shut off completely will not reset even if jeep is turned off an turned back on. while driving down the road the lights can randomly being to flash an then shut off.

Defective totally integrated power module (tipm). i discovered my car has problem with the headlight (which intermittently on and off) when i was about to drive from home at night. the dealership charged me $1757.57 for repairing by replacing the tipm which has a history of defective on millions of cars made by chrysler. it's don't make sense!

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

My headlights do work right. sometmes they come on and sometimes they just turn off and sometimes they don't turn on at all. the jeeo dealer said it was the tipm and apprx. $1,200.00 to fix. i think jeep should recall !!!

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.

Lights went out while driving at high speed at night making it very hard to handle car and pull off the road. als olet me stranded in the dessert (pump would not pump gas)

First, i was driving on the highway and hit the brakes, when the vehicle locked all the brakes completely, the vehicle started skidding almost causing an accident because i lost control of the vehicle. a few weeks later, i was driving up the hill when all the dash lights lighted up, i stopped the vehicle and turned it off but they did not went off . i went to the dealer and they told to replace the abs module (68067458aa) costing $215.00 plus $160 on labor. they also told me that a few customers are complaining about the same issue. the vehicle is also turning off the headlights at night. right know the problem is intermittent. the check engine code is b162f, right low beam control. according to the dealer, the tipm needs to be replaced, it cost around $400. when i looked in the internet, there are several cases of that issue since 2010.it creates a possible hazard driving at night.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the headlights failed to illuminate. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Codes b162b and b162f... linked to the tipm. while driving the headlights flicker then turn off. no low beams and no high beams. the headlights remain off and will not turn back on. this problem occurs at night and is dangerous to self and others. numerous customer complaints.

Airbag light comes on and off when turning steering wheel dealer tells me its the air bag clock spring. when i turn on my blinker to turn left it doesn't turn off since i've bought it. my car has 66,567 miles on it

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. the contact attempted to illuminate the headlights, but the headlights failed to illuminate. the failure recurred multiple times intermittently. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

Went to leave a parking lot and the air bag warning light came on, then it went off, then it came on. it has continued to do this since the incident date. *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

Driving on a 4 lane roadway at 4 am , speed was 55 mph when the headlights flashed 4 times and then stayed off. since this first occurence this has randomly happened. a maintenance visit to the local jeep dealer in manassas, va indicates a faulty total integrated power control module (tipm) failure. *tr

My headlights constantly fail and will start to blink on and off and stay off!! this is a common problem with this model and chrysler can't seem to fix the issue. the safety of driving down the road and having your headlights turn off and not come back is a huge issue and should be addressed immediately. i would hope to think that someone would take the responsibility to rectify this problem before someone gets seriously injured!!! *tr

The headlights of the jeep sporadically go off. you just never know when they will work. sometimes when you start the car up they won't work, but the most dangerous is when they go off when you are driving at night and have no idea that they have shut off. the high beams won't work when this happens, but the parking and fog lights can be used as some kind of back up. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the headlights failed. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced, and that the part would be on back order for up to six months. the vehicle was not yet repaired. the failure and the current mileages were 52,000.

Tipm is creating a major safety issue with my 2010 jeep wrangler. on multiple occasions, the headlights fail to work on my vehicle on start up or once the vehicle is in operation. the dealership looked at the jeep and stated the tipm module was bad and needed to be replaced. the part was indefinitely on backorder from jeep, and could not even be replaced if it were under warranty. driving this vehicle that is under 2 years old and has a major safety issue is unacceptable. this appears to be a wide spread issue for a number of years with the tipm module on jeep / chrysler vehicles. this will happen to someone while driving at night without their knowledge, and create a deadly event. would like to see chrysler take responsibility for this dangerous situation and correct the issue to protect the safety of the missions of people driving their vehicles. *tr
