Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014. IN ROUGHLY JUNE 2014 I STARTED MY CAR AND THE WIPERS IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON HIGH AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF OR SLOW THEM DOWN. I ALSO WAS UNABLE TO USE MY TURN SIGNALS, AND WHILE DRIVING FOR A WHILE WITH THE WIPERS ON AND NO TURN SIGNALS (HAD TO GET HOME AND GET TO THE DEALERSHIP), THE TURN SIGNAL ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME QUITE WARM. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED FOR ROUGHLY $750+LABOR. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2017 AND I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THE WIPERS BEING STUCK ON AND NO USE OF TURN SIGNALS. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, I TURNED IT ON, AND HELLO WIPERS. THE TIPM WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ANY OTHER NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROLLED BY THE TIPM (SO BASICALLY EVERYTHING) COULD BE AFFECTED WITH NO WARNING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE (AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES). WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE?! *TR
