Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY NITRO BRAND NEW IN 2009 2 YEARS LATER MY RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND DOOR WAS OPEN. I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE SO MY BATTERY WOULD NOT DIE. IT ALSO WOULD SHIFT OFF AND ON WHEN EVER IT FELT LIKE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FLASHED IT BUT IT ONLY MAD IT WORSE. NOW IF THE FUSE WAS IN I WOULD BE DRIVING AND I'LL OF A SUDDEN MY WHOLE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AND MY GAUGES WOULD START GOING BACK AND FORTH OUT OF CONTROL AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON. I TOOK THE FUSE OUT IN 2010 AND STILL HAVE NOT HAD A RADIO IN MY NITRO SINCE. *TR
