THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND WONT TURN OFF AND NONE OF THE LIGHTING CONTROLS WORK , HIGH BEAM, ON /OFF, DASH CONTROLS... THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

MY VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WILL SHUT OFF OR DENY POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP, IT ALSO WILL INTERMITTENTLY FLASH WARNING SIGNS, AND TURN THE WIPERS ON INDEFINITELY. THE ISSUES HAVE ALL BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE POWER MODULE AND MORE SPECIFICALLY NONSERVICABLE RELAYS. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND NEITHER HAVE AN ETA ON THE PART SHOULD I ORDER ONE. MOSTLY IT HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY BUT IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE. IT STATED DOING THIS IN FALL OF 2015 BUT I COULDN'T PROPERLY DIAGNOSIS IT UNTIL MARCH DUE TO IT BEING INTERMITTENT.

AFTER GETTING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ON JANUARY 4, 2006. MY CAR STOP RUNNING WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR ENGINE FOR JANUARY 11, 2016. HE TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN LOCKED UP AFTER CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS CORRECT. TO NO AVAIL THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL AND I AM STILL STUCK WITHOUT ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION. NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVE SO I CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
