Electric problem causes the vehicle to loose all engine power while driving down the road
While driving to work on monday morning at 60mph the truck shut down lost all power and can't be restarted almost crashed ..have replaced all the major suspect to find out along with 1000s of others the anti theif device or the wcm is the problem and we as consumers should not have to cover the cost or head aches of getting this resolved.there are more than enough complaints to issue a recall so people can get there trucks bck on the road..
While driving down the road all of a sudden i hear my horn start to honk. i few seconds later some of my warning lights started to light up and i decided to pull over to the side of the road and stop the car. after i did this i opened the hood and saw smoke coming out of the engine compartment on the drivers side. i assume this might be the integrated power module. after this happened i am unable to start the vehicle or place it in drive. it is totally undriveable.
Driving down the highway and power goes out. no air, no radio, engine will not start.
There has been multiple complaints filed with the 2007 dodge nitro with various electrical errors. this vehicle is unpredictable and unsafe. imagine driving down the road with your two toddlers and the vehicle stalls. next your horn starts honking out of control, the automatic door locks begin to uncontrollably lock and unlock. you have to open doors at the perfect time to get out of your vehicle. that's not all! then your windows start to roll down by themselves. oh and don't forget the crazy adventure you'll endure when you drive your vehicle at night and then your headlights turn off by themself! you never know what kind of day you're about to have when you get into this demon car. if you like to live life on the edge i have the perfect vehicle in mind for you! it sounds like multiple nitros were effected by the same issue, but we would rather sweep the issue under the rug instead of actually accepting responsibility for these death traps. i am appalled that this vehicle hasn't been recalled. maybe something will be done when enough people die related to the malfunctions.
When it rain truck shuts off no powere engine has to replace fuse to statr agian
Alarm problem. horn sounds at random times for no reason. it goes off in a erratic pattern and i had to remove the horn fuses to silence it. because it goes off so much, it is draining my battery. i replaced the battery 7 months ago (november of 2018) but its now draining rapidly. i've been unable to start my vehicle twice in the last few days. it has not yet died while in motion. also i have a lift gate ajar fault and had to turn off my interior auto lights so i can drive at night without them on. however the lights do flicker on and off constantly, even with the auto light feature off. when i use my turn signal to go right, my interior lights always come on until the blinker is off.

On 3/21/18 i was driving through a major intersection when the battery dash light came on in my truck. i found this to be odd since i had just had a brand-new battery installed on in my truck on 1/8/18, then the following events occurred in rapid succession: all of the dash warning lights came on, the a/c which was on at the time and blowing very cold air, began blowing hot air, i attempted to roll down the electric powered windows and they would not work; the windshield wipers came on without prompting. i quickly decided to turn around and go back home since i was a short distance away. i decided to take a route through a residential neighborhood since i was unsure what would happen next and thought it would be best not to be on a major roadway if anything further occurred. i made a left into the residential neighborhood and noticed my truck was moving very sluggish and making a weird noise. i was approaching a stop sign up ahead; however, before i could apply the brakes my truck just cut off. i quickly put the gear in ...
