“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10899048, filed 2016-08, 110,000 miles“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.”

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???!!!
