Horn goes off on it own, even while driving. Starts won't start, battery is not dead. Doors lock and unlock on their own. Passenger door controls the drive setting for locking and unlocking car, shutting radio off. The drive door will lock and not let you out, even trying to pull it up manual and it won't let you. Have to use key in door to unlock and quickly open before it locks again. In an accident this could be a big problem.

Takata recall - the nitro was in motion when the airbag light came on and when the white plastic strip came sticking out of my steering wheel column. Before the white plastic strip came sticking out behind the steering wheel, it sounded like something was rubbing or grinding every time I would turn the steering wheel. The ebs/bas light and the slippery when wet light also came on. Now the nitro was stationary when it won't start and it will click one time along with the dash board lights coming on and the windshield wipers will turn on automatically. Could this be an electrical problem or something to do with the airbag?

My car lost all power. It would not start or roll up the windows but at times it would blow the horn and windshield wipers would turn on but car would not start. This was after I drove it home and turned it off. Also the windshield wipers will stop working while driving it. I took it to the dealership who charged me $1200 to replace my tipm.

While driving the vehicle on the interstate it will just shut off. No lights on dash or warning. When this happens you have no power steering or brakes. After getting it stopped and restarting it will drive fine. Other times the remote will not work the locks, it will lock and unlock by them selves after you open the door and try to start vehicle . You can put the key in the ignition and it will not start lights on dash will go off and on and after a few attempts it will start. There are times you can not put in in park you can shut it off and restart it press brake pedal and nothing works to put it in park and then it will just go in park like nothing was wrong. All of these things happen up on occasions with no warning. It all will work fine for weeks or months and then it will act up again. The heater does not blow hot air on one side, every year you can flush out heater hose and radiator and it will blow hot air for a month or so and then it will go back to only blowing warm air out on one side. No codes are ever thrown when the things happen. There is never a warning and when you take it to the dealership or a mechanic they can never find anything wrong with it.

Stopped for gas, after filling up vehicle wouldn't start. No lights, no sound of any kind nothing would happen.the vehicle was completely dead. Had vehicle towed to dodge dealer where it was bought they said they replaced the starter but I'm sure it was the total power interface module.

My 2007 dodge nitro wouldn't crank. So I took it to the dodge dealership they told me that it was the GPS, well I paid to get that fixed and it started doing the same thing.. So I took it to another shop whom told me it was the battery.. Ok I got that fixed and was still having the same problem. In the middle of driving, the horn continuously goes off, so does the windshield wipers, the doors began locking and unlocking. So I took it to one final shop and that's when they told me its a problem with the total integrated power module. I asked could this be fixed and was told its been on back order. So now I have to drive around with my vehicle malfunctioning..
