Description of the problem | We were driving straight through a parking lot on friday, may 11 and suddenly the wipers in the front and back started going at an accelerated rate and the wiper fluid was continuously pumping out and the horn was continuously honking. I got into a parking spot, tried to turn the car off and it wouldn't. I was even able to turn the key in the ignition to the off but it was still running and i could pull the key out while it was running.. I was so startled i am not sure if the lights or any signals were going off. I did research on the web and apparently many, many people have had that and it is the tipm. It is not an isolated incident with these nitros. I brought it to the dealer today and they said it would be okay but gave me their card in case it happens again. Honestly, i am afraid to drive this thing especially reading about the many incidents they have had. I reported this to chrysler as well. |
