My truck honks randomly been dealing wih it for 1-2 years.. it honks when its off or when im driving its very scary as a female having to drive it like this. I had tipm replaced and still having issued I removed the fuse for horn but afte a year my battery started to die and I hear a sound coming from fuse box(tipm) not sure whats the problem but I have read many people have been having issues... recall for safety, .
Battery dies overnight when car is idle. It starts with a jump start and is fine during the day. I found the problem is that the dash board lights are coming on at night draining the battery. I also hear ticking & weird noises from the fuel box under the hood. A/C does not work, horn does not work & I am washer fluid does not come out when trying to clean windows! hazard lights flash & the alarm goes off for no apparent reason. Took it to a dealer who said he received about 15 different codes when running diagnostics & that the dealer needs to flash the PCM.
Electrical involving the engine shutting down and the system going haywire and offline putting you at risk, alarm, horn, wipers, instrument cluster and engine running by itself. The vehicle will not start and will not crank over as part of the tipm making it unable to start. There is a recall for 2007 Dodge Nitro pertaining to this issue that many are unaware of, like me if you are not the original owner, not safe at all could leave you stranded as I was left stranded christmas day and now without transportation. I really hope they can resolve this issue at the dealer

I had a fuse blow in 2014 so I had my mechanic replace it. Ever since it has been replace my car no longer locks using my keyless entry. My windshield washer fluid never shuts off so I have to leave it unplugged. My hatch only locks when I manually lock it which involves removing the cover on the inside of the car. And now over the last few weeks when my car is parked it will unlock and the headlights come on for no reason. I have had nothing but problems with this car ever since it was purchased in 2012.

I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro with milage at 48,545. I have had a few incidents where I have been driving my car and while turning into a parking space my car has turned off on me out of no where also my stearing wheels locks up on me, thankfully this has not happened while I have been on freeway or on street driving at regular driving speeds otherwise you would have been hearing from my attorney. Also we dont get much rain in California, however during the rainy season I dont know from where but there is water getting into my car on D, leaving puddles of water in my car. Another issue is that my alarm goes off at all times of the day by itself. Also I do regular oil changes as needed on my car, in between oil chnages I notice my oil goes down substantually bout 3 to 4 quarts, and there is no leak in my car. The bottom line here is that the vehcile I purchaed is a lemon.

I keep having issues with the wiring on tail lights, I constantly replace the light bulbs which work, the wiring is bad in this vehicle. I also have issues with the electrical when it rains, it drains my battery after every heavy rain, it makes a noise like it's booting up or something. I love the vehicle but really considering trading in.
My car will not lock. About a year ago the "lock-unlock key" stopped working and no one could figure out what was wrong with it. Since then I've had to manually use the key to unlock the driver door and then manually use the door lock/unlock button for the rest of the doors. Last month (March 2015), the locks completely stopped working. After 2 days the unlock button on both the driver and passenger sides starting working, but the lock button is completely non-functional. I have to manually lock every door to keep my car somewhat secure, however my trunk is now stuck unlocked with no way to lock it. I have brought my car to 3 mechanics and none of them can figure out the problem. After doing some research it seems many people are having this same problem.
