| I live in metro atlanta and i have a 2008 dodge nitro. i love my truck but 12/01/11 brought my love to like and i don't know what to do. i work 2.7 miles from home - on my way home 12/01/11, the horn started sounding, lights were flashing, doors were trying to locking and unlock, front and rear wipers came on, and the water for the wipers started spraying. i pulled over, cut the truck off for about 5 minutes and started it back up. needless to say that did not resolve the issue. i drove all the way home with all these things happening. once i got home, 'i cut the truck off and the wipers were still going as well as the horn, the exterior lights, and the door locks. so 'i took the key out' and wouldn't you know - everything continue to do the same thing. ended up disconnecting the battery. 12/02/11 i connected the battery from the disconnect the night beofre and the horn sounded for a few seconds but now my heater is not working - on the way into the office everything happened again. pulled over and had truck towed to the nearest dodge dealer. my nitro has 77,006 miles on it. | |||

| 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. *tr | |||
