Description of the problem | My 2008 dodge nitro, while driving on hwy, 60-65 mph, out of nowhere the vehicle powers down. The windshield wipers spray out fluid and moves back and forward. The horn continues to make noise. My satellite radio has no signal. My driver side window button has some kind of short when trying to roll it up. This issue has been going shortly after purchasing the truck. No one seems to know what is wrong. At first dodge chapman in vegas, they thought reprogramming the remote key. Then i paid over $600,to lithia dodge in renton, wa because they thought it was something with the fuel tank. But no this issue continues to go. It is beginning to be a safety issue shutting down in the middle of the highway with my kids and me in the car. So i google if anyone else is having this problem and yes it appears problem has arised and it lies with the tipm. This product was recall on the 2007 dodge nitro. I took my truck into the dealership 7/18/12. Told them what to check, because i brought the truck there before and they couldn't find the problem. I told them to check the tipm. The service department called me today 7/20/12 and tells me yes, it is the tipm (totally integrated power module). Please help. I called dodge customer service and they are looking into this, but states there is no recall on this issue with the year of my vehicle. |
