The alarm goes off for maybe 1 to 4 seconds at any time it's parked and the horn blows time to time without me touching it while driving.

After dealership removed the emblem from the steering wheel due to the recall, the horn would start to blow on its own for no apparent reason and stay on. It would shut off and then a few moments later start to blow again. The dealerships answer was to disconnect my horn and send me on my way. I am now driving in a vehicle that will not pass the required state inspection. It is also a safety hazard!! the dealership informed me that until the parts came in to finish the recall on my vehicle I would have to drive my vehicle this way. This is a serious safety issue!!

3 weeks after having my 2011 Dodge Nitro detenator would stick between gears, at both slow and high speeds and I was burnning through gas way too fast. Nissian found my tansmittion oil to be black, I paid for flush and told it was good to go. Next day the car died, the throttle body indicator came on, this was fixed, still burning through gas! couple weeks later now it sounds like a disel engine idle, I can not afford all these problems. I found several owners of this car have had same problems along with electrical as I have had as well, my electrical system cuts out randomly and a few times my kids and I have smelt what seemed to be that of burnt rubber or something. Im very displeased and upset with my purchase.

My 2011 Dodge seems to have an electrical issue. I am unable to use the defrost, or air. Each time I turn it on the engine begins to run hot. Also my windshield wipers turn on when I start my engine, but they were not engaged. This happens wen the vehicle is turned on and stationary as well as when in motion.

My windshield wipers come on in and won't turn off. It happens when I turn on vehicle and wont turn off unless I pull out the fuse for them and leave the fuse out for while. At the same time the problem starts with the wipers, my blinkers won't work at all. I haven't been able to find a quick fix to get them to work again, unless I disconnect my battery and then reconnect it. That doesnt always fix the problem though. Both of these problems happen periodically, every so often and at random times. It's happened atleast 20 times now.
