"timp failure", apparently many people are experiencing the same issue with this timp requiring replacement due to multiple electrical failures. I am unable to unlock my vehicle.
Our problems started where the vehicle would lock or unlock itself at random times while parked armed and unoccupied. The lights headlights would come on and the alarm would sound. Then the horn started going off by itself for no reason again vehicle unoccupied, usually in the middle of the night, now when you drive it the horn has gone off a few times. The other day my wife was driving it and she was in the left turning lane and the engine stalled, she had to put it in park and restart it, very annoying and dangerous.
Horn not working or going on by itself same problem on other Dodge Plymouth vehicles 2007 thru2010 problem is tipm relay and fuse box the cost to replaced the box about 500 Dodge knows about the problem I dont know way they dont recall this vehicles.

I just got a used 2007 Dodge Nitro in Oct. 2016. I had it 2 months I notice that every so often I had trouble with the power door locks not working. Then at 3 months I go take my child to school, and all of a sudden my horn goes off, the windshield wipers start going off and spitting out fluid, everything in the vehicle starts going crazy and then I'm in the middle of a very sharp curve when the vehicle cuts off and will not start back. I was able to get pulled over safe but it could have been very differently because I was in a curve on a major road and school time right at the school. Had to have the vehicle towed and was told that the totally integrated power module (tipm) went out and would have to be replaced at $1000. Now I see so many other people with the same problem. It is not right that Chrysler never put out a recall on this or that nothing was ever done about it. I paid almost $2000 for an extended warranty but they will not replace the part either because they say it's just a fuse box. Please something needs to be done or someone is going to get killed if not already.
The electric door locks and the windshield wiper fluid for the front window do not work. These are on the same fuse M38 in the tipm. Thousands of people have had this issue and it is my opinion that it is a defect and should be recalled. Although it is not an immediate threat, when it snows and the salt builds up on the windshield and you can't see, it is a very big safety issue for you and everyone around you as a pedestrian and in a car. This is an issue that happens over time and it seems everyone is having the issue at once. This could be a bad winter
While driving vehicle overheats, but not while stationary, multiple dash/engine/lights flash on and off. Air conditioner started blowing hot air, had serviced- battery good-reported bad alternator -- replaced $289. Fan locked up breaking belt--replaced $30. Then mod #2 tested bad-- replaced $450. This all started approx. 2 weeks ago mid July 2016, and 2007 Dodge Nitro continues to overheat, and air conditioner continues to blow hot air. A/C coolant tested fine, but not making cold air into cabin of SUV. Mostly highway driving.
The car with lock and unlock doors by itself and flash lights on and off, causing the vehicle to be inoperable when this happens during driving and when parking. We were already told the controlmodule needs replacing but because this is not a 4X4 it is not covered in the recall. Then the brakes stop but not fully and will cause a slide backwards if not held down while in motion, on an incline, on street or ramp. The throttle light and the antilock brake light comes on while driving, while turning, on streetand highway, causing the car to stall in traffic, while moving we have almost been rear eneded a couple of times. We see several recalls that would relate to our problem but all have been identified for the 4X4.
When parked, the 3 passenger doors and hatch will lock but not unlock. The only door that works properly (most of the time) is the drivers door. Can't use the key alone to unlock doors because there is no keyhole except the drivers door.
Electronic window switch keeps going out, and the tipm light keeps comiing on. When I driving down the street the tipm light stays on didn't know what that was, I thouhgt it meant my tires, so I purchased new tires, still comes on and now my window want roll up because of this module

Truck hesitating to start on & off - consulted with Chrysler Jeep mechanic who I showed him a video of what I captured when my truck wouldn't start right away, advised me that it didn't sound or look like the ignition, that it possibly was the "external fuel pump relay and harness". truck was left at dealer for several days to allow them time to properly diagnose what may have been going on. Because of the quoted price [$435], I suggested to her that I would have my personal mechanic repair it and would like to purchase the actual harness kit which only cost $32.92. Part could not be purchased because it was flagged as an "recall". natasha checked w/mike to confirm this info, drop off date was set - asked her - there will be no charge, correct, since this is an recall part" she said no, there wouldn't, that's correct. Service tech kenney handed me a invoice for $415 stating there was a charge - which I totally disagreed. Once natasha arrived, we discussed this matter in total disagreement since I was under the understanding this was a "recall" part and wasn't expecting to pay as previously discussed. Later that day before returning to pick my truck up, I contacted the Dodge headquarters & spoke with caitlin. She stated because my truck didn't have any recalls on it, this part did not qualify & if it did, I would've been contacted. I told her I totally disagreed since I only found out during our discussion there was a recall on my truck for the gas tank - and I still have not been contact by mail or phone for that issue. Chrysler dealer services Dodge & Jeep vehicles & this is the only place I can get this part which has been considered a faulty/defective recall part and because I don't own a Chrysler, my truck doesn't qualify, but I'm forced to pay for a recalled part"

During the summer or winter time the remote control don't work. Also the front planel show me some blinker lights when I use the directional light. The remote control issues in very unsafety because this car have just a door with the key access. If you have some emergency inside or fire, you can't open the doors. If you have children this issue will be a potential fatality because the others door are locked to access from outside. Please put attention in issue because I read more electrical problems in other websites in the same way. For this reason I started this petition.
