1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2019

3 seperate but related events. My horn began honking at random times, eventually I could not turn it off while in my parking garage at work. Ended up removing battery connection to stop the honking. When I arrived home I disconnected the horns. My wipers randomly do not work. I've had to rely on rainx. Sometimes they work and other times I cant turn them off. They sometimes stop in the middle of the window. Last issue was complete loss of power while driving at 70mph. Luckily I was able to pull over. Strange thing was it started right back up. But 10 miles later the same thing happened. Based on these 3 things happening within the last month I think it is part of the tipm module. Many complaints and this item is part of a class action law suit and a voluntary recall for other Chrysler vehicle in the same year range as my vehicle.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/29/2018

I bought this vehicle as is in February of this year. The convertible top gets stuck in the up position and doesn't go back down. I cannot see otu of the rear view and obviously cannot operate the vehicle safely. I contacted a dealership and Chrysler and both told me the recall had been addressed in 2008 (they llooked it up by VIN). However, it obviously wasn't since the top is still sticking. They basically told me too bad. However, they were unable to tell me which dealership had marked it as a completed and repaired recall which is strange. I would like it fixed ASAP since I cannot operate the vehicle without being able to see out the rear windshield! it was in a parking lot when this happened.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2014

My windshield wipers just decide when they want to stop leaving me with zero visibility during a rainy commute.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2013

The windshield wipers started stuttering then stopped completely. When I move the control arm they will move a little at a time, then start to go really fast. I had to leave them on the fast mode or else I would not been able to drive the car. It was pouring out. Thankfully I got to work with no issues. I have replaced the wiper motor and the control arm to no avail, the dealer put in a new wiper kit to no avail. Now I need a new tipm module. !.

5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2013

Purchased vehicle used in August 2015, owner told us the wipers did not work but he had the motor and we installed the wiper motor. This did not work. So we researched this vechicle for recalls and we found that Chrysler has had a problem with this tipm part but was not being responsible for a recall. This part cost us $650. 00 and the wipers now do work but there is a noise that is still there and some of the caution lights do not go out. The car works but do not go that far in it due to the reviews we had read about this tipm part and the engine may stop working.
