NHTSA Complaint #11048845 — 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A CONVINCE STORE AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 3 MILES AFTER SITING FOR OVER 12 HOURS OVERNIGHT. WHILE EXITING THE STORE THE HORN, BLINKERS, DOOR LOCKS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED ACTIVIATING. THE HORN WAS HONKING, WASHER FLUID SPRAYING, BLINKERS FLASHING AND DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING RAPIDLY. I WAS UNABLE TO EXETER THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THEN AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE ABOVE ISSUES CONTINUED. I CYCLED THE KEY WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER I OPPENED THE HOOD THE ABOVE MENTIONS ISSUES STOPPED TEMPORARILY FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS THEN STARTED AGAIN. I TAPPED THE TIPM AND ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES STOPPED. I KNOW THAT JEEP HAS HAD ISSUES WITH TIPM BUT A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED TO CORRECT THE DEFECTIVE PART. I FEEL THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFTETY HAZARD AS I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE FOR MALFUNCTIONING. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE DUE TO THE ERRATIC NATURE OF THE WASHER FLUID SPRAY AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT FUNCTIONING.
