1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

** occasional stalling, when stopped or when driving normal speeds, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes longer. Fuel pump was replaced, problem continued, 2nd fuel pump installed, problem continues. Mechanic believes it is the tipm, totally integrated power module. ** headlights sometimes turn off while driving when totally dark. Not an issue of any ambient triggering headlight to turn off. I had headlights replaced, problem continues. It can only be resolved by turning headlights off, then back on. I suspect tipm controls headlights set to auto, as headlights have a delay turn off when exiting the car. ** horn turns on intermittently, when car is on or off. It will have short beeps or stay on for long periods. It may happen every few minutes, or days apart. As part of the alarm system, I suspect this could be another tipm issue. Only resolution was to disconnect and drive without horns. Other randomly occurring issues that are likely due to tipm: ** Smart front passenger window is erratic. The window should drop down 1/4 in when the door handle is pulled and as long as the door is open. When the door is open, the window will usually go back up (it shouldn't) but sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it keeps going up and down continuously, then stop, then start again. **convertible top operation is erratic. It has many interlocks and sometimes it gets stuck 1/2 or 3/4 while opening, sometimes it may or not respond when closing. These problems have happened over the last year or so.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2011

The safety issue of the headlamps not giving light enough distance. Talking with NHTSA, I was told that other manufacturers have the same complaints. Chrysler vp even suggest I look into getting different headlamps but they would not install them on my car or put it in writing.
