The TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) used in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles acts as the central fuse and relay hub. Failures can cause random no-starts, stalling, fuel pump running continuously, airbag warnings, horn/wiper/light malfunctions, and other unpredictable electrical behavior. TIPM issues are among the most widely reported electrical failures in Stellantis vehicles from the late 2000s through the early 2010s.
Multiple class action lawsuits alleged defective TIPM design and widespread failures. FCA faced significant litigation, extended warranty programs, and repair campaigns across numerous models.

TIPM failures (TIPM‑6 and TIPM‑7) across Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles from the late 2000s to early 2010s are associated with stalling, no-starts, fuel pump relay issues, and widespread electrical malfunctions. Multiple class actions and extended warranty programs were issued. These vehicles are generally not suggested for long-term ownership unless the TIPM has been replaced with a verified updated unit.
