Consumer Description

1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MARCH 2013. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN A 25MPH ZONE. SUDDENLY, THE HORN STARTED BEEPING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT AND REAR) WERE GOING, WASHER FLUID WAS POURING OUT, POWER DOOR LOCKS WHERE GOING ON AND OFF. HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WITH THE FLUID SPRAYING OUT AT FULL SPEED. I TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVED KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND THIS CONTINUED TO GO ON FOR 5 MINUTES. BROUGHT THE CAR TO MANFREDI DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TIPM MODULE WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY. A YEAR AND 1/2 LATER ON MAY 18, 2015, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR FLAW WITH THIS PART. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS OCCURS ON A HIGHWAY/TURNPIKE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR YET ANOTHER TIPM. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY EXPLAINED IT'S ONLY A 1 YEAR/12 MONTHS GUARANTEE, BUT THIS PART SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 5 YEARS. REALLY???
