| While driving on the interstate highway at 65 mph the electrical system had a control system failure event (this is the third event in 4 days), causing the windshield washer to spray washer fluid onto the windshield dramatically reducing driver visibility, the windshield wipers did not function properly, they only traveled about one-quart inch in time with the horn chirping. the wipers did not function properly even when turned on directly by the driver to address the washer fluid discharging onto the windshield unexpectedly. the driver exited the freeway to the emergency shoulder to avoid an accident. the electrical failure event and the drivers occluded visibility cause by the unexpected discharge of washer fluid and non-properly functioning windshield wipers lasted for the duration of the unexpected electric control system failure event of about 4 mins.. there was no failure indication on the dash panel and no warning that the failure had occurred to the driver. the event was unexpected and without warning and occurred while the motor vehicle was being operated. service appointment with dealer for the vehicle's electrical control system failures has been scheduled. in my opinion this is a major safety concern that has already or is very likely to result in injury or a fatality. no vehicle system when experiencing any type of failure mode should be able to operate any system on the vehicle in an unsafe and/or unexpected way or really any manner. *tr | |||

| While driving on the freeway, the windshield fluid sprays and the wipers go on at slow speed. can't turn wipers or mister off and have to pull over with zero viability. second time this happened, i lost acceleration pedal and jeep stalls and starts while all this is going on. took keys out of ignition and disconnected negative batter but everything still on. pulled fuses for wipers and fluid to stop that. had to pop clutch to stall out the jeep. very dangerous to have happen while in the carpool lane. also to find out that the airbags don't work due to a bad clock spring. *tr | |||
