| While driving my jeep liberty, the wipers and horn came on suddenly and the entire electrical panel lit up. after taking it to the dealer several times, they finally determined it was the tipm module that needed to be replaced. the part was backordered. i have since found there is a national backorder (since 2010) with over 270+ in my area alone. the issue became progressively worse as i would get in my car and it would not start. unlocking the vehicle appears to cause the automobile to engage something electrical (though i only open it manually - not with the keyless entry) which results in the vehicle acting as though it is already on. most recently, while driving on the freeway at 70mph, i had a jolt before the wipers/horn went off and the emergency brake light was on. i believe the system is now engaging the emergency brake. i have discontinued driving the vehicle as a result. i believe this vehicle is a lemon. there are multiple complaints online with many other jeep owners experiencing the same issues. | |||
