Problems with 2008 Dodge Nitro ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that the head lights failed to operate. the contact mentioned that the lights would flash three times before shutting off. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the technician diagnosed that the tipm needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 118,000.

On august 20th, 2014, i noticed that my power door locks and front windshield washer pump had both stopped working. looking this up online, i saw that there were numerous complaints with the tipm system for my nitro as well as other chrysler models. since the repair costs were estimated at more than $1000, i decided to go without getting this repaired for the time being. today, while heading into a local supermarket, i noticed a horn beeping, and turned around to find that it was my nitro! the horn was going non-stop, the wipers were moving and the washer fluid was spraying out continuously. i ran to the car, embarrassed i moved it to the back of the lot, where two men helped me try and pull fuses out of the tipm unit, in an effort to get the horn to stop. we finally found the right ones, but the wiper pump had to be unplugged as it wouldn't shut off. what a coincidence that this happened to me, after reading numerous stories of the exact same thing happening to other people who own dodge nitro's. if chrysler does not take responsibility for this defect, not only will i never buy from them again, i will tell everyone i can to never waste their hard earned money on a chrysler product; that's bound to have a negative effect on their sales. *tr

Windshield wipers start /spray-doors lock/unlock- horn blares- engine dies and wont restart-

When attempting to turn on headlights, they flash 2 or 3 times and go off. they will not stay on. it's like the computer or a relay is attempting several times and then gives up. i disconnected the battery for 30 minutes and the problem cleared for a few hours. it came back exactly like before. another disconnect would not clear the problem again. also, the horn will now sound when unlocking the doors. this has been an intermittent problem for several years. press the remote unlock and the alarm horn sounds. previously it was about once every couple of months but now is several times per day. sometimes it does it even when unlocking the door manually rather than with the remote. the fog lights are fine but high and low beams are unusable, now. based on internet research, this is a very common problem among various dodge vehicles and often requires replacing the tipm for around $1000. *tr

At first my back hatch started saying it was open when it was not and running the battery down. then my windshield wipers stopped working followed by my power door locks stopped working right after i put my daughter in her carseat and walked around to the drivers side to get in, the car automatically locked itself, luckily there was a key hole on the drivers side and i had to unlock it and crawl in the back to get the door unlocked to get her out, which was very hard to do considering i had just had surgery. after i got everything unlocked nothing would lock again. the back hatch is locked permanently because there is no other way to get it open but power locks. then my heater blower stopped working. it is the totally integrated power module that is malfunctioning and i was told eventually the signals or nothing will work and will make it very dangerous to drive. this is a major safety issue that dodge has known about for a long time. the tipm is on national back order and they have no clue when my vehicle can get fixed!!!!! i am beyond amazed that this hasn't been resolved before now. *tr

I have a 2008 dodge nitro that has a faulty tipm, as i was driving the car shut off completely. all lights came on the dash and the passenger air bag seemed to go off in the glove compartment. windshield wipers, all fluids, honk and lights were going on and off as if it had a mind of its own. i am now out almost $1,600 and car still does not turn on. the tipm is on national backorder due to the overwhelming demand and chrysler has recalled this vehicle for this known issue but not my year. (2008) i have filed a complaint with carcomplaints.com already. i have called chrysler and all they do is take my report and say they will call be if its recalled. im at a loss. i don't know what to do anymore. *tr

I was driving down the highway and my horn and lights start flashing and at the same time my windshield wipers and water started going off. as i slowed down and exited the highway i notice my air conditioning had gone off as well. i was lucky i was able to remain calm this was very scary especially with my 15 month old baby in the back seat. after i exited and turned off the car nothing stopped. i pulled out the key and the vehicle remained started with the horn, lights, windshield wipers and water remained on. i ended up popping the hood and undoing the battery to make it stop. after 5 minutes it tried to reconnect and it was still happening. i came back to the car after 30 minutes reconnected the battery and the car acted as normal. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph on a downhill road, the horn and windshield wipers activated independently and the entire instrument panel illuminated intermittently. the contact merged to the side of the road and attempted to turn the vehicle off by removing the key out of the ignition, but the engine continue running. the battery cables had to be disconnected in order to turn the vehicle off. the problem recurred several times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 122,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while in park with the keys removed from the ignition, the doors unlocked automatically. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Suv starts honking the horn and wipers and wiper fluid start going off, only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery. there are many other complaints about this same issue online, most say is faulty tipm. *tr

This situation has happened quite a few time and has escalated over the time period. the first time i walked out to my car. i pressed the key to unlock it and the horn started honking, the windshield wipers and spray was going and the lights flashed. this lasted approx. 5 seconds. and stopped. the next incident occurred while driving down the fwy. same symptoms occurred, but this time lasted approx. 30 seconds then stopped. the third incidence: same symptoms but would not stop. i opened up the hood, for some reason slapped the fuse box and it stopped but when i went to drive it would not shift from 2nd to 3rd. gear. this kept happening with increasing frequency and duration. i took it in to the dealer. as i was waiting in line to check in, it happened. everyone was stunned and amazed, and laughed at my possessed vehicle. now they can't get it to happen while it is on the computer. it has been almost 2 weeks and i still don't have my car. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the windshield wipers and door locks independently activated. the vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. no repairs were made to the vehicle. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure and current mileage was 50,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that the vehicle was able to start after several attempts. the contact also stated that when driving over 72 mph, the vehicle would wobble. the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Was driving no warning car over heated pulled over waited hour to cool car wouldn't start had towed motor blown no warning had problems since purchase electrical brakes etc. *tr

I pushed the unlock button on my key and opened the drivers side door to get in and that's when the problems began. the horn started blaring non stop, the front and rear windshield wipers were going at various speeds and my lights were flashing and the blinkers were going off. i tried to put my key in the ignition and tried to turn the vehicle on but nothing would happen. the car felt like it was on even though i hadn't turned it on but when i got out of the vehicle it definitely showed signs of being on. after just about 30 minutes everything stopped but my horn will no longer work and my check engine light remains on. this is the first occurrence so we will be taking it to the dealership that we got it from since we have only had the vehicle and been driving it for 2 days. *tr

For the past year i have been dealing with my horn randomly honking at all times of day and night, doors locking and unlocking on their own, headlights and taillights turning on by themselves as the nitro is parked with the engine off. on top of all this, since october 2014 my engine as been stalling when i tried to start it. i tried to start it numerous of times and it would turn on for about 3-5 seconds then shut off and recently it has gotten to the point that it doesn't want to start anymore. a diagnostic test was done and nothing could be found. due to all these issues, which have drained the battery life, i have replaced the battery twice within the past year. *tr

All things electrical go crazy, locks are locking and unlocking on there own, even when i am driving down the road and eventually don't work at all. lights don't work on drivers side of car. i push the brake and the dome light in the hatch area on passenger floor light up. all sensor lights are on, in the dash area, seat belt, brake, air bags, etc. brake light is flashing on and off and dinging when it feels like it. this is an on going problem for a lot of the 2008 dodge nitro and i see 152 complaints alone on this website and a lot more on the carcomplaints.com. since they are no longer making this vehicle, but a majority of people that bought this 2008 nitro are having this problem. i beg you to please look into this and have a recall on this! thank you! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated while driving the electrical system failed activating the horn, the front and rear windshield wiper and fluid, the doors locked and unlocked on their own. the contact was unable to turn the vehicle off and it caused the battery to fail. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 39,000. the current mileage was 40,000.

First occurrence was random honking of horn while vehicle is turned off and parked in store parking lot. second occurrence was while driving approx. 30-35 miles per hour on access road then on to highway and it started to honk continuously without stop or pause. i had to pull over and locate the fuses and remove so honking would stop. bought brand new fuses and replaced but still does the same things. and in order to get car inspected, your horn has to be working correctly in the state of texas. *tr

Blinkers stopped working suddenly. headlights and front wipers do not turn off. rear wiper will not turn on. horn blasts occasionally at will. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that the power locks failed to activate with the key fob, causing the doors to have to be manually unlocked. in addition, the liftgate was manually opened and closed from inside the vehicle intermittently. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who diagnosed that the tipm needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Windshield wipers start by itself once vehicle is started even though they are switched off. the only way to correct is to disconnect the battery cable and reconnect. this has been happening intermittently since purchasing the vehicle in 2011 but has been occurring more frequently in the past year. i am concerned that the problem could get worse or occur while driving the vehicle thus causing an injury or accident. *tr

I dropped my daughter off at school and was returning home when all the dash lights appeared and vehicle started to shut down. had the battery checked and alternator checked both was fine. similar problems occurred about 8 months earlier replaced battery and battery ends. took the vehicle to dealer to get checked out. same problem with battery ends needs replacing. also have been replacing rear lights every three to six months turns out the switch needed to be replaced. not sure if these are normal problems for a five year old vehicle. *tr

Wife was driving home from a dinner date with a friend, we were on the phone with each other when the horn started going crazy, wipers rear and front started running on their own spitting out washer fluid, door locks going crazy, both horns going off constantly, and accelerator not working properly. she pulled over and shut the vehicle off. everything continued to happen she removed the key from ignition and same result. i told her to try door locks on keychain no change, tried panic alarm on key chain and still nothing. she did not have tools to disconnect battery. after a few minutes it stopped. she made it home safely without any injuries except sever panic and anxiety. when this happened first thing i did was get online and look for issues. apparently this is a commonly known issue by chrysler. the tipm is bad. many people reported having same issue. chrysler wants to rip you off cause its a dealer only item. known issue and yet no recall was ever issued. i contacted chrysler they said per the vin they could not authorize any repairs except for the current recall that is active. this could have led to a serious accident. especially when you hit the brakes and not slow down at all and have to use emergency brake. so now we are stuck with a vehicle non op and don't have $1000 to fix a known issue by chrysler. i will never buy another chrysler product. i will be in touch with them again to seek repairs. *tr

The tipm malfunctioned on my car. which causes me driving down the interstate to lose electronics, horn stayed on, wipers stayed on and my car down shifted and would not up shift. i had to swerve to the side of the highway to avoid being hit. the dealership saw the car in person while all the electronic parts were going haywire. then car would not shut off even with the key out of the ignition. the battery had to be disconnected. this could have been a major accident on the highway in rush hour. *jb

I have had problems with what i believe is the electrical and i am afraid of it causing a fire. i have had dash lights come on for the breaks only to have the chrysler dealer tell me nothing is wrong. then when the turn signal is turned on the dome light was flashing. then 4 dash lights come on and it has something to do with the break system brought to mechanic he done an analysis said i needed a part. a week later the lights are out so i went back and this time was told as long as the lights are out there is nothing wrong. i am not a mechanic or scientist but i don't think it takes a rocket scientist to know something is not right with the electrical. the locks lock and unlock by themselves and this zaps my battery. i have a brand new battery which is dead today. i have called chrysler and they said i have to have another analysis done???? this is crazy! *tr

The tipm failed in my 2008 dodge nitro cause me to lose shifting capability. i lost all control of electrical features. the window wipers, fluid, horn were all on and uncontrollable. i turned the car off but it kept running. the door locks locked and unlocked randomly. after reading about the incident the 2007 dodge nitro had its tipm recalled and i believe this falls under the same category. below is the action number. nhtsa action number : pe07027nhtsa recall campaign number : 07v291000. *tr

As i was leaving work early this morning, i click the unlock button on the keyless entry and the car just starts going nuts. the horn is blaring, windshield wipers moving, wiper fluid spraying all over the place, door locks going up and down and lights all lit up. come to find out this is a problem with many other vehicles of the same make, model and year. there has been no recalls that i can find with this problem. this is extremely dissatisfying that when i research this problem other dodge nitro owners have had the same problem and dodge isn't doing anything to correct their problem. this comes down to safety. what if it happens when i'm driving on the highway??? *tr

This vehicle caught on fire in may, we got it put out, and i turned it into my insurance company, they had us take it to a garage and i did. i took it to waterfront jeep garage, they said they didn't see anything that had been on fire and we told them how the wires are and everything. we paid $94 to get it back. i was taking my daughter and niece (1yearold), nephew(2yearold)swimming and decided to go pick my husband up first, i dropped my nephew off and was going home, stopped at my mother in laws and it was smoldering with smoke we all got out safe but my vehicle burnt. the insurance company now is geico, and they have been good at taking care of it, but they don't pay the whole loan off, only what it was worth, which is -600. the bank keeps charging interest but what to do until they are paid. my question is can i do anything about waterfront sending us back out in an unsafe car or the insurance company i had then, which i had to pay the taxes of the difference of the rental car since they don't pay taxes. *tr

The first incident, i was leaving my house at night. as soon as i pulled out of my driveway, the headlights shut off.i replaced the headlight switch and thought that fixed it. within the week, the headlights quit working again only this time i was on the interstate approximately 50 miles from home. while trying to figure out the problem, i was driving only in daytime hours with clear sunny weather. about two weeks later, my vehicle seemed to become possessed. the wipers turn on spontaneously along with wiper fluid spurting and the horn going off. this continued even after my vehicle was turned off and the key out. my battery had to be disconnected to stop the madness. i found out by internet research that my problem was most likely the tipm since many people with the same vehicle had to replace it. i replaced that part today and thus far fixed my previous problems. however, now my front passenger airbag light is on indicating that airbag is turned off. the light stayed on when i had an adult riding in that seat. i feel the makers of my vehicle put many of their customers in danger knowing this was a problem. the tipm was on back-order at my local dodge dealership and many others. *tr

The dodge nitro has to be the most poorly made car i have ever owned. they just replaced my entire gas tank 2 weeks ago and another letter came in the mail, regarding a recall with the drive shaft. so far 2 recalls and now my car is unlocking itself and turning on its interior and exterior lights on its own. my car was parked in my driveway and keys in the house. a young man from next door came to my door to inform me that my lights were on. we locked the doors and watched the lights go off, only to find them back on an hour later and doors unlocked. woke up the next morning to find my car dead. at first we thought it was the battery and replaced it for the 3rd time in 5 years, but the problem continues to occur. a friend of mine also has a nitro that experienced the same problem several months ago. she had to pay $600 for them to rewire her car. *tr

Electrical doorlocks stopped working had it diagnosed on machine could not find problem. please help! *tr

It was may of 2013, not sure of exact date. it was evening and raining out. i went to get in my car and when i started the ignition and put my headlights on, they went off. after about 15 seconds they came back on, but started to flicker. after i shut the car off and turned back on the headlights remained on. over the past year this has happened more and more. each time is when there is moisture: rain, snow or frost. this year the occurrences are getting more frequent. i have had head lights replaced. the switch. a battery. i was finally told it is the tipm. the part will be between $600-700 (just for the part), its on national backorder, it could be months until they even get it in. now this means my only vehicle i can't drive. i leave for work at 5:00 a.m, which is dark and return in the evening (in winter) around 5:30 which is dark. these lights go out randomly and dodge said they are unaware of any tipm problems. this is a major safety issue to myself and the public. *tr

Upon disarming the alarm/unlocking doors the wipers, sprayers, lights, and horn went off. i unlocked the door with the key and tried to start the car to disable and it wouldn't. when i removed the key from the ignition it kept running as well. it would not shut off. with the key in the engine wouldn't shut off either, nor get out of park. we disabled the battery... nothing. finally disabled the alternator and it stopped, only to start again when we plugged it all back in. there have been various occasions that the wipers have turned on when unlocking the doors in the past. along with quite a few times upon starting with a turn of the key you must turn it twice for it to engage. this has been in for service and they couldn't find a problem at the dealer either time i took it in. this car is a hazard and cant imagine if it happened driving as in a previous story i saw. unfortunately, none of this happens while still under warranty and if it does, they cant find a problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. while driving 30 mph, the contact stated that both front and rear wipers began to malfunction. the warning lamps illuminated and when the vehicle was turned off it drained the battery. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and the module was reprogrammed. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 69000.

The windshield wipers either won't come on at all or will continually move all over the windshield as you drive. the wiper malfunction is extremely worse if you have the headlights on and use the turn signal. this causes them to quickly fully extend to the very edge of the windshields drivers side. this causes extreme visibility problems. the dodge dealership has not been able to fix the problem after several visits and multiple attempts of replacing parts including the turn signal wand and the entire wiper assembly. the mechanic said dodge recommended replacing the tipm, which the manufacturer was aware of a huge problem with this part on nitros. after doing some research i could not believe all the complaints with no action being taken by chrysler or the government for my model year. recalls were issued for older years, so why not the 2008 with the same problems? i can't safely drive my car with my vision constantly compromised and i can't even sell it with all the horrible reviews. now it just sits in my driveway because i am too nervous to drive it with these problems. *tr

My 2008 dodge nitro's electrical system is operating on its own. it seems like it is possessed. on several occasions (at least 10 incidents) for the past few months the following occurs. the front & back windshield wipers start operating by themselves. they go fast & then sometimes they move in a stop & go method. the rhythm of the wipes is random but its common to see them do a partial wipe,then pause, another partial wipe, then pause and keeps repeating. then all of a sudden it will go fast. the windshield washer sprayer shoot fluid (front & back) on its own, until the tank is empty. the horn goes off non stop. it just goes & goes & goes. the horn & the windshield wipers seem to operate as one. hazard lights are blinking constantly. the light above the trunk door is blinking. the signal lights stay illuminated. the doors lock/unlock repeatedly. on the dashboard the h.a.s. and the slick road icon illuminate. this occurs while i'm parked or driving. it occurs whether the keys are in the ignition or not. there seems to be a relation between using the remote unlock & a incident occurring. yet, it happens also when i unlock the door manually. based on other customer complaints from this message board, they are being told its the tipm or total integrated power module that is causing the madness. dealerships & chrysler/dodge corporate has told them the part is on back order. basically they have got the run around and not received any help. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact mentioned that the lights on the instrument panel, the horn and the windshield wiper fluid activated independently. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 50,000. the vin was not available. *tr

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that someone informed him that his alarm had went off. the contact went to turn the alarm off and noticed that the lights were not flashing. the contact stated that he went to the vehicle the next morning and noticed that the vehicle would not start. the contact brought a new battery but that did not solve the cause of failure. the contact stated that he had to have the new battery jumped. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the electrical system needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 87,000. the vin was unavailable. ap

The 2008 dodge nitro slt's alarm randomly went off in the parking lot and would not stop even after attempts to turn off the alarm with remote key. windshield wipers were also turned on while the fluid was constantly squirting out. even after driving the car alarm and wipers would not stop. this issue happened several time until one day when the vehicle stopped making any type of sounds (no honking, no alarm). problem is said to be caused by the tipm. lack of honking caused numerous potential accidents by failing to warn other drivers. i am complaining so that chrysler issues an overdue recall for the tipm as numerous other consumers are experiencing the same issue. *tr

The horn / alarm/ lights/ locks / windows , constantly go off & on with no warning. it happened randomly at first but now 09/03/2015 it is a everyday occurrence. i have taken it to the dealer to switch out remote, update electrical system and still the dealer has no idea. ive disconnected the battery, replaced fuses, nothing. i was told it might be the tipm since several 2008 models have the same problem. they replaced the 2010-2012 but not the 2007 & 2008 models. i need this problem fixed before a severe electrical problem occurs...

We have a 2008 dodge nitro that we had just bought in nov 2012. after driving it a few months the radio has shorted out and keeps making all kinds of noises. i am afraid its going to cause and electrical fire. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact was attempting to reverse and when the back-up assist system haphazardly alerted that there was an object behind the vehicle. the contact stated that there were no objects or persons behind the vehicle. the contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that one of the back-up sensors was pushed inward and the plastic between the bumper was melted. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised that the exhaust pipe was rusted and fractured. the technician also stated that the exhaust pipe, bumper and back up sensor would have to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while driving approximately 55-60 mph, the horn, windshield wipers and door locks activated independently and without warning. the contact was unable to turn any of the components off until the battery was disconnected. the vehicle had not been inspected by a dealer or an independent mechanic for the failure. the contact was no longer driving the vehicle due to the failure. the manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 50,000. the current mileage was approximately 55,000. the vin was unavailable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge nitro. the contact stated that while at a traffic stop, the horn, lights and the windshield wiper fluid activated independently. the failure was experienced several times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 80,000.

While driving the car stalled,horn started honking,lights were flashing and windshield wipers turned on and started spraying windshield wiper fluid. i was going 25 mph the first time this occurred, vehicle sat for a few hours then started back up. the 2nd and 3rd time it did the same as the first when i pressed the door unlock button on my key fob, when i hit the fusebox in behind the battery under the hood it ceased. *tr

On several occasions, the vehicle electrical system has malfunctioned. lights go on and off, winshield wipers come on, horn honks constantly, engine stalls, etc. the only way to get it to stop is un-hooking the battery and letting it set for a few minutes. this happened several times so we took it to the dealer to get it looked at. they told us it was a sensor in the steering column that needed to be replaced. the car was out of warranty so it cost just over $800. since the repair, the car has shown the same problems. most recently a few days ago. *js

Had a spring under cylinder break, $375 to fix. replaced the tipm $555.95 now the skim needs to be replaced. i have been waiting since 8/28/15 for the part to come in. it is now 9/5/15 and the dealerships telling me they don't now where the part is and why it hasn't came in yet. also since it is a hoilday weekend they can't find out any thing until 9/8. i have no other means of transportation. very frustrated! i will tell everybody i see with a nitro to go trade it in asap buy anything but a dodge!

A week after i bought the truck i was driving home and all the lights on the dashboard came on. there was a slight shaking from time to time when i would go and stop. it did not do it every time i drove it. i took it to the dealer and told them i did not want the truck. they told me there was nothing they could do that they would fix the problem for free. i had to fight with them for 3 months to figure out what was wrong. they never gave me a direct answer, but said they fixed the problem . the following month the abs light came back on, and i took the truck back again. i described the shaking that didn't happen all the time. they made the light go off, and told me if the shake happened i should bring it while it was happening because they couldn't tell otherwise what the issue was. about 2 months ago, my back brake locked up and started smoking after my vacation which the heat shield was flapping in the wind out of no where on the ride home and fell off when i stopped(still yet to be fixed). i replaced the caliper, brake, and the rotors. i had the front checked and they said the brakes were fine. 2 weeks later the shaking started again, and the front brake locked up and started smoking. i had to repeat replacing all the same parts. 2 weeks later again! the front brake started locking up so hard it pulled to the left, and was glowing red when i pulled over. i took it to dodge this time, and they told me the brake line had collapsed. when will this end and are all these things related to the recalls? if not considering i drive my 4 children in this car and it is a danger what can i do about it? why did they not tell me these cars have these issues, and why are they selling them and not notifying buyers of potential life threatening problems.the coils, and brakes and all are rusty like a old car i don't understand how a car as new and well taken care of could be this way. *tr

This problem has not caused an accident but it has caused the gasoline to shoot out of my gas tank and drench me in gas several times. i believe if there is a sensor in my gas tank that it is not working properly enough to indicate that the tank is full or close to full when i'm pumping gas. when i pull out the nozzle the gas shoots out all over the place ( this is after the gas has shut off at the pump). don't know if there have been similar incidents reported but it is important enough for me to complain about it. the dodge dealer that sold us the vehicle when new does not seem to want to take the time to investigate my complaint so i'm looking to other sources to see if this is just a random problem or one that is worth investigating further for everyone's benefit. *tr
