Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10949557, filed 2017-02, 30,000 miles“I was traveling on a cold and icy road and inside was cold due to the heater core being filled with casting sand. I crossed a river and the difference in humidity caused the windshield to fog up and freeze. I was not able to see the road, but managed to stick my head out the window to keep from crashing. I could have been killed. The temp was about 5 outside. I was near grand island nebraska. South of the walmart on south locust street.”
NHTSA complaint #10749896, filed 2015-08, 62,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11243783, filed 2019-08, 74,000 miles“I have owned the vehicle for 7 months. I have had to replace the windshield several times due to cracks. The windshields are spaced to thin and are weak.”
NHTSA complaint #10348206, filed 2010-08, 8,000 miles“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. …”
