Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH MY HORN RANDOMLY HONKING AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN, HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES AS THE NITRO IS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, SINCE OCTOBER 2014 MY ENGINE AS BEEN STALLING WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. I TRIED TO START IT NUMEROUS OF TIMES AND IT WOULD TURN ON FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS THEN SHUT OFF AND RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO START ANYMORE. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS DONE AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. DUE TO ALL THESE ISSUES, WHICH HAVE DRAINED THE BATTERY LIFE, I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. *TR
