Consistent failure of the "Total Integrated Power Module" which controls so many items in the car such as windshield wipers, windshield defroster fan, exterior lighting systems, heater fan, the ability for the car to start, the horn may or may not sound and many other accessory related items. It is a very WELL KNOWN failure of these modules and they are basically un available blamed on the supply chain problems. As a result of these problems in this very well known module failure cars have become basically un-able to drive safely or not at all and sit in dealers service areas waiting for these modules to be replaced at the owners cost in most cases in excess of $1,000.00 for a part that is a known failure in design by Chrysler Corporation and their various owners (Mercedes Benz, Fiat, Stellantis) and others unknown at this time. …
Wipersand headlights came on by themselves and cycled about four times and then went off. We were driving down a smooth road, clear day, temperature was 80 degrees. Wiper and headlight switch were set at "auto". A few days later same thing happens. Take it to dealer and they state it's the TIPM which is replaced for the first time. A month or so later, we are in a bad rain storm and the wipers (in auto) do not come on. When switched to manual, there is only the slow speed available. To shorten the story the van has been back to the dealer four times for the wiper/headlight problems plus a few other problems. It is again at the dealer for -you guessed it the wipers/headlight issue. The dealer is going to put in the fourth TIPM in less than the two years (oct 2013) we've owned it. I've been waiting over a week to get the van back and I'm told there is a nationwide shortage of tipms. …

Broke loose from glass and retried wipers and poof they do not work. Checked all fuses & relays and tested wiper motor along with multi switch all good. Hooked my ansus fx4000 scanner to learn I have a TIPM module problem. Next issue arouse three weeks later now automatic lights went out traveling in a snowstorm in evening & decided to further this issue. I will inform you's Chrysler is using electrical system that has many, many accessory and options all work on a ground based energizing system. Another way to put this is most all controls are positive energized at all times and body ground module sends signal to relays that complete ground circuits. …
