Brake light have stopped working randomly. Were working fine one day then next day I have no brake lights, I've had several people see if they could find the problem with no success. Could possibly be faulty wiring to the brake lights? Put just normal tail lights work with only those lights when breaking. I've also seen several same make and model vehicles with the same issue in the same town that I live
I was driving down the rd and all of the sudden my truck jumps into 2nd gear and looses all power to speed up and it seems like I'm in neutral my relay box is messing up everything electrical now it shuts off at stop signs and If it keeps doing all this I'll have to replace transmission. I've already replace tipm 2 times
I STARTED MY CAR THEN AFTER 5 MIUTES MY RADIO AND LIGHTS TURNED OFF THE MY ENGINE TURNED OFF. AT 3AM WE HEARD SOMEONE HONKING OUTSIDE AND IT WENT ON FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL A NEIGHBOR KNOCKED TO TELL ME IT WAS MY CAR HONKING BUT THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE CAR. I PRESSED MY ALARM KEY OFF AND ON BUT NOTHING WOULD STOP IT FINALLY I TOOK THE HORN FUSE OUT AND DISCONNECTED THE CAR BATTERY. A PERSON ON THE WEB TOLD ME HE HAD A SIMILAIR PROBLEM AND IT WAS A RECALL "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL. I TYPED IN 2007 DODGE NITRO SLT AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE RECALLS ON MINE. SO THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE PARKED AND CAR ON AND ALSO AT HE LIGHTS AND THE HORN GOES OFF. A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT SOUNDS LIKE THE (TIPM).
DURING THE SUMMER OR WINTER TIME THE REMOTE CONTROL DON'T WORK. ALSO THE FRONT PLANEL SHOW ME SOME BLINKER LIGHTS WHEN I USE THE DIRECTIONAL LIGHT. THE REMOTE CONTROL ISSUES IN VERY UNSAFETY BECAUSE THIS CAR HAVE JUST A DOOR WITH THE KEY ACCESS. IF YOU HAVE SOME EMERGENCY INSIDE OR FIRE, YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOORS. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN THIS ISSUE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FATALITY BECAUSE THE OTHERS DOOR ARE LOCKED TO ACCESS FROM OUTSIDE. PLEASE PUT ATTENTION IN ISSUE BECAUSE I READ MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN OTHER WEBSITES IN THE SAME WAY. FOR THIS REASON I STARTED THIS PETITION.
WAS DRIVING AND WAS FLAGGED DOWN AND TOLD MY RIGHT AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. THE MIDDLE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE RIGHT AND LEFT DO NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH REPLACED, CHECKED THE FUSES AND REPLACED BOTH TAIL LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARDS WITH NOTHING WORKING. *TR
INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES KEEP BREAKING EASILY. WOULD RESULT IN FATALITY IN CASE OF FIRE. BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT WITH NEW BULBS. IT'S ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS ON ROAD AS WELL AS PASSENGERS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE WIRING TO MELT. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,107.
(1) THE BRAKE LIGHT ON TOP OF MY TAIL GATE IS OUT. THE COST OF THIS LIGHT IS $79.50. THE COST OF THE OTHER 2 SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS IS $2.50 EACH. I WILL GO TO JAIL FOR HAVING A LIGHT OUT BEFORE I PAY $80. FOR THIS 3RD LIGHT. WHAT DO I DO? (2) THE FRONT AMBER MARKER LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. THESE LIGHTS ARE ONLY $2.50 EACH BUT IT WILL COST ME $95 TO CHANGE ONE OF THEM BECAUSE THE FRONT OF THE CAR HAS TO COME OFF TO CHANGE IT. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. WHAT DO I DO? (3) THE DOOR MOUNTED REAR VIEW MIRRORS ARE TOO BIG AND MOUNTED TOO HIGH. THE MIRROR ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD POST CREATES A HUGE BLIND SPOT WHEN LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE RIGHT OR WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH I ALMOST PULL OUT INTO...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED THE TAIL LAMPS STOPPED WORKING CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE FLICKERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE LAMP, THE BULB HOLDER AND THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE SHORT WITHIN THE WIRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND REFERRED HER TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
