Headlights Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Headlight harnesses go bad. Lights flicker, don't turn on without messing with harnesses or take a few seconds to minutes to turn on or change to high beams. Thus is while stationary or while in motion. Hitting bumps in the road also affect the lights flickering or turning off or on.

Driving on a 4 lane roadway at 4 am , speed was 55 mph when the headlights flashed 4 times and then stayed off. Since this first occurence this has randomly happened. A maintenance visit to the local Jeep dealer in manassas, va indicates a faulty total integrated power control module (tipm) failure.

Was entering onto the interstate when my 2011 Jeep Wrangler completely shut off, all warning lights on the dash came on, power steering went out, and headlights turned off. Immediately maneuvered the Jeep off of the interstate where I sat in 20 degree weather for a half hour before it would start back. Two weeks later I was driving down the interstate in a rain storm and the windshield wipers completely shut off. Once again, we had to carefully get off of the interstate and try to get them working, which we failed to do. Had to wait until the storm passed before we were able to get the vehicle home. My husband is a mechanic and began driving the Jeep on a daily basis with a computer hooked to it in hopes to catch a code. Once again, the Jeep shut off all power and threw a code for the tipm module. Since then, we've had several instances where the Jeep looses all power and shuts off along with the traction control kicking off and on. We bought the Jeep and had it for only 3 weeks before the problems began. We've contacted the dealer we purchased from, several Jeep dealerships and Chrysler directly and received the run around by all of them. We contacted our local Jeep dealer where we were told that the tipm modules were a common problem and they were on back order with no estimated time of arrival, but they would call when it came in. That was 8 months ago and still we haven't received a call. I'm always nervous when I drive it now because you never know when is going to shut off in traffic and cause a wreck because you can't get off of the interstate nor can you steer easily. I really wish Chrysler would own up to this issue before it kills someone!.

My headlights constantly fail and will start to blink on and off and stay off!! this is a common problem with this model and Chrysler can't seem to fix the issue. The safety of driving down the road and having your headlights turn off and not come back is a huge issue and should be addressed immediately. I would hope to think that someone would take the responsibility to rectify this problem before someone gets seriously injured!!!.

Tipm is creating a major safety issue with my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. On multiple occasions, the headlights fail to work on my vehicle on start up or once the vehicle is in operation. The dealership looked at the Jeep and stated the tipm module was bad and needed to be replaced. The part was indefinitely on backorder from Jeep, and could not even be replaced if it were under warranty. Driving this vehicle that is under 2 years old and has a major safety issue is unacceptable. This appears to be a wide spread issue for a number of years with the tipm module on Jeep / Chrysler vehicles. This will happen to someone while driving at night without their knowledge, and create a deadly event. Would like to see Chrysler take responsibility for this dangerous situation and correct the issue to protect the safety of the missions of people driving their vehicles.
