Consumer Description

ALL THINGS ELECTRICAL GO CRAZY, LOCKS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THERE OWN, EVEN WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY DON'T WORK AT ALL. LIGHTS DON'T WORK ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR. I PUSH THE BRAKE AND THE DOME LIGHT IN THE HATCH AREA ON PASSENGER FLOOR LIGHT UP. ALL SENSOR LIGHTS ARE ON, IN THE DASH AREA, SEAT BELT, BRAKE, AIR BAGS, ETC. BRAKE LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF AND DINGING WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF THE 2008 DODGE NITRO AND I SEE 152 COMPLAINTS ALONE ON THIS WEBSITE AND A LOT MORE ON THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. SINCE THEY ARE NO LONGER MAKING THIS VEHICLE, BUT A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THIS 2008 NITRO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I BEG YOU TO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE A RECALL ON THIS! THANK YOU! *TR
