Question 1

Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) failure (Wrangler JK)

Accepted Answer

The TIPM on the Wrangler JK can fail, causing a no-start, the fuel pump running continuously or not at all, the horn sounding by itself, and wipers or lights acting on their own. Common on 2007-2014 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles, with some recalls and extended warranties.

Question 2

Steering "death wobble" (Wrangler JK)

Solid front axle Wranglers can develop a violent steering oscillation after hitting a bump at 45 mph or more, caused by worn track bar bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends or the steering damper. Jeep issued a steering damper recall for 2018-2020 JL models.
