Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Wipers, dashboard lights, and warning chimes activate on their own while driving, sometimes followed by the vehicle stalling and refusing to restart until towed and diagnosed as a TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) failure.
- Steering wheel controls, including the horn, radio, and hands-free system, stop responding, and the dash display goes blank, in one case contributing to a crash after the horn failed.
- The horn stops working and the alarm activates randomly, with dealers attributing the issue to a static electricity problem.
- The fuse box in the engine compartment catches fire or smolders while the vehicle is parked and turned off, accompanied by tail lights flashing and wipers running unprompted.
- Smoke or flames come from the dashboard area while driving, in one case requiring a bystander's fire extinguisher to put out.
