  • 75,000 miles
Driving down the freeway, cruise control shut off and every light on the dashboard lit up. After turning off the car for a while, things went back to normal. On a later date, I pulled into a parking lot turned off the ignition and removed the key--but the car was still running. The car finally turned off after four or five attempts to reinsert the key, turn back to run, back to off, etc., shifting from park to drive and back. Researching online, it appears that these issues are symptoms of a faulty tipm.

On multiple occasions while driving or in park with or without key in the ignition. The wipers start going the fluid will spray the horn will honk the doors will lock..(and has on 1 occasion locked my children in the van and I could not get them out until it stopped about 2 minutes later) I've had the heat and ac stop working I've had transmission issues, lights going off while driving in the dark! multiple problems that all lead back to this timp module that Dodge, Chrysler Jeep will not recall nor fix..and the dealership is no help either because they'll run multiple diagnostic checks and say there is nothing wrong even if you bring it in while it's having an episode and they clearly see there is a problem if the diagnostic comes back with nothing them they send you on your way because they can't help they say.
